LA SIMONNE (Matthieu de). The Alphabet of the soldier, and true explanation of the military art, from his enrolment until he has reached the level of general of the army, which he must do in each charge, both in garrison and in the field. Paris, Pierre Billaine, 1623.
Small in-4, [18] ff, [378] pp. 234, marbled fawn basane, decorated spine, red title page, gilt garland on the edges, red edges (18th c. binding). A good copy.
Unique edition, uncommon, of this career manual for those who intended to climb all the ranks of the military hierarchy (or only a few in fact, the general presentation being rhetorical). (Cioranescu, XVII, 40 615.)
