1675 Julius Caesar WAR Commentary Military Tactics

1675 Julius Caesar WAR Commentary Military Tactics Bello Africum Scaliger Hirtius

“If you must break the law, do it to seize power: in all other cases observe it!”

– Julius Caesar

A rare collection of civil war histories and Julius Caesar war commentaries!

Julius Caesar’s war commentaries are some of the most prolific military writings! While not specifically known for his writing, Julius Caesar wrote this book which would become a mainstay in the Latin literature canon. It focuses on first-hand account of Julius Caesar in the Callic wars, but it was written as though from a third-person view.

This 17th-century, pirated edition features the same engraved title page illustration as the 1675 Elzevier edition except for the imprint and a variation of the engraved battle scene. This volume also includes commentaries ascribed to Hirtius:

"De bello Alexandrino",

"De bello africano",

"De bello hispaniensi"

"De Galliae divisione Aldi Manutii ... Commentarius"

"Nomenclator geographicus”

Edited by French historian Joseph Scaliger
