(France) 1706. Contemporary Leather binding with gilt spine. 4to (ca. 28 x 21 cm) Manuscript title, 410 pages. With 8 folded manuscript plans. Extremely rare contemporary manuscript of Vauban's last work. Shortly after its completion in 1706, Vauban died in early 1707. Presumably because of this, the work was hardly known among experts and copies were extremely rare. In 1737 Pierre de Hondt published a manuscript which he mistakenly believed to be Vauban's work. In fact, it was a work of the same name by the engineer Guillaume De La Fon De Boisguerin Deshoulieres from 1675.
