Vauban, Sebastien Le Prestre de (1633-1707): Traité de la Defense des Places Par Feu le Marechal de Vauban.

(France) 1706.

Contemporary Leather binding with gilt spine. 4 tons (approx. 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. It was not until 1769 that Charles-Antoine Jombert published Vauban's text for the first time, but this edition was not without errors either. Jombert still considered the text from 1737 to be a work by Vauban. He made a mix of both texts which also served as the basis for the later editions of 1779 and 1795. It was not until 1829 that the French general Éléonor-Zoa Dufriche de Valazé undertook to publish the undated text by Vauban, which he copied from an undated manuscript in the fortification depot in Paris. Our manuscript is one of the very few handwritten copies that were written during Vauban's lifetime. In the 'Catalog général des manuscrits des bibliothéques publiques de France: Bibliothéques de la guerre.' 4 other manuscripts of Vauban's text are listed. Two are dated to 1707. One of them is dedicated to a Mr Naudin. In terms of text, it resembles the undated manuscript, which Valazé also used for his 1829 edition. Both contain 16 plans. The other manuscript from 1707 contains 15 plates, and another undated manuscript contains 12 plates. The format of all these manuscripts is folio. Our manuscript is in quart format, dated 1706 and has only 8 plates. It contains numerous textual differences from the 1769 edition, and although there are more similarities to the 1829 edition, many differences exist here as well. The third chapter of the 1829 edition contains some passages which are not included in either the 1769 edition or our manuscript. The folded plans in our manuscript, however, are almost identical to those of the 1769 edition. It is likely that Vauban revised his work while he was still alive, and that there were at least two different versions of the text. Our manuscript probably belongs to the earlier version. The editors of the 1769 edition probably had a manuscript available that resembled ours (maybe even ours?), adopted his plans, but revised their edition with passages from Deshoullieres' manuscript. Valazé ultimately used a revised version of Vauban's text, which the great engineer added a few paragraphs shortly before his death and also made textual changes in other parts of the work. Our manuscript is believed to be an early text version of Vauban's last work, and enables further scholarly research into the history of the text. The manuscript originally contained 9 manuscript plans (like the 1769 edition), the last of which, however, has been removed. The plans are extremely detailed and meticulously worked out. Certainly the work of an experienced architectural draftsman. The text is neatly and legibly written. The title page has a floral-ornamental border. - Binding some rubbed and bumped - in very good condition. // // Contemporary leather binding with gilt spine. 4 tons (approx. 28 x 21 cm) Handwritten title, 410 pages.

Avec 8 plans manuscrits pliés. Manuscrit contemporain extremely rare du dernier ouvrage de Vauban. Peu de temps après son achèvement en 1706, Vauban mourut au début de 1707. Vraisemblablement à cause de cela, l'uvre était à peine connue des experts et les copies étaient extremely rares. En 1737, Pierre de Hondt published a manuscript that says the croit à tort être l'uvre de Vauban. En fait, il s'agit d'un ouvrage du meme nom de l'ingénieur Guillaume De La Fon De Boisguerin Deshoulieres de 1675. Ce n'est qu'en 1769 que Charles-Antoine Jombert published pour la première fois le texte de Vauban, mais cette édition n'est pas non plus sans erreurs. Jombert considers encore le texte de 1737 comme une uvre de Vauban. Il a fait un mélange des deux textes qui ont également servi de base aux éditions ultérieures de 1779 et 1795. Ce n'est qu'en 1829 que le général français Éléonor-Zoa Dufriche de Valazé entreprend de publier le texte brut de Vauban, qu'il a copié d'après un manuscrit au dépôt de fortification à Paris. Notre manuscrit est l'un des très rares exemplaires manuscrits écrits du vivant de Vauban. Dans le 'Catalogue general des manuscripts des bibliothéques publiques de France : Bibliothéques de la guerre.' 4 other manuscripts from the texts of Vauban that are reproduced. Deux sont dates de 1707. L'une d'elles est dédiée à un certain M. Naudin. En termes de texte, il ressemble au manuscrit not date, que Valazé a également utilisé pour son édition de 1829. Les deux content 16 panneaux. L'autre manuscrit de 1707 contains 15 planches et un other manuscrit non date contains 12 planches. Le format de tous ces manuscripts est folio. Notre manuscript is in format quart, dated 1706 and ne comporte que 8 plans. Il content of nombreuses différences textuelles par rapport à l'édition de 1769, et bien qu'il y ait plus de similitudes avec l'édition de 1829, de nombreuses différences existent également ici. Le troisième chapter de l'edition de 1829 contains quelques passages qui ne figures ni dans l'edition de 1769 ni dans notre manuscrit. Les plans pliés de notre manuscrit sont nependant presque identiques à ceux de l'édition de 1769. It is probable that Vauban ait révisé son uvre de son vivant, et qu'il y ait eu au moins deux versions differentes du texte. Notre manuscrit appartient probablement à la version anterieure. Les éditeurs de l'édition de 1769 disposaient probablement d'un manuscrit qui ressemblait au nôtre (peut-être même au nôtre ?), adoptèrent ses plans, mais révisèrent leur text avec des passages du manuscrit de Deshoullières. Valazé a final use of a version révisée du texte de Vauban, que le grand ingénieur a ajouté quelques paragraphes peu de temps avant sa mort et a également apporté des modifications textuelles dans d'autres parties de l'ouvrage. Notre manuscript est considered as a première textual version of the dernier ouvrage de Vauban et permet des recherches plus approfondies sur l'histoire du texte. Le manuscrit contains à l'origine 9 plans manuscrits (comme l'édition de 1769), dont le dernier a cependant été supprimé. Les plans are extremely detailed and meticuleusement élaborés. Certainement le travail d'un dessinateur d'architecture expérimenté. Le texte est écrit proper et lisiblement. La page de titre a une bordure florale-ornementale. - Reliure un little frottée et émoussee - en bon état. -- -- Lit.: AvZastrow - History of the permanent fortification.
