A bibliography of English military books up to 1642 and of ...

Fortifica- en Allemagne," and 1620-19, fols. A Ger. ed. circa 1610.— See Priv. to ed.
tion. of Paris, 1620-19. The Privilege to the 2nd ed,, extending the copyright
to another ten years, alludes to the first copyright accorded to Errard over
his " mathematical " v^^orks, " Scavoir la Geometric, la Fortification, etc.," in
1594 J
which is the date ascribed by Promis to the ist ed. j the "Advertisement
" states that it has been augmented by several new^ plates, w^hich,
by collating with the de Brys' reprint, we know to be 10 in number ;
occurring
on pp. 4, 7, 21,69, 73, 74, 86, 93, 106, and 127. Errard concludes this
2nd ed. thus :
" Nous esperons . . . de publier en bref les versions Italiene,
et Allemande, de cet ceuure, acompagne de quelque autre trai6le, de semblable
sujet." Rumpf mentions the German trans. Neither this passage
nor the Privileges occur in the de Brys' ed., which I believe to be a pirated
ed., preceding the author's reprint.
It has a pref. to the efFecSt that the [ist]
ed. of Paris having become rare, and being very costly, it is reprinted in a
smaller and cheaper form in both German and French. It is peculiar in
having a date (1600) affixed to the author's Ded. to Henry IV.
