Illustrated By: Theodor Galle / Pieter van der Borcht Illustrator Bio: Theodor Galle (Dirck or Theodoor Galle, 1571-1633), working from designs by Pieter van der Borcht the Elder (c. 1545-1608) Provenance: S. del C. de Torrepalma - a provenance note for the Spanish noble house that held the title Conde de Torrepalma ("Count of Torrepalma"). The Condado de Torrepalma is a Spanish comital title created by King Carlos II in 1679 (royal dispatch 4 Nov 1680) for Alonso Verdugo y Albornoz. The title later passed into the Álvarez de las Asturias Bohórquez line and, by marriage and succession, connected with the Dukes of Gor. The name derives from the Torrepalma estate near Carmona (Seville). Notable holders include Alonso Verdugo de Castilla (1706-1767), 3rd Count, a diplomat, poet, and member of the Real Academia Española and Real Academia de la Historia. Synopsis: [Bound with:] Analecta sive Observationes reliquae ad militiam. Antuerpiae: apud Ioannem Moretum, 1602. Giusto Lipsio First Plantin-Moretus illustrated edition of Lipsius's classic reconstruction of the Roman army, a foundational text of early modern military science. In De Militia Romana Lipsius (1547-1606) systematises the organization, discipline, and tactics of the legions from Polybius and other classical sources, reviving Roman practice for use in the age of gunpowder. Its companion Analecta supplies further antiquarian notes. The magnificent suite of engravings—executed under Theodor Galle from van der Borcht's designs—represents one of the high points of the Plantin-Moretus press and the first sustained visual archaeology of the Roman army. The work was studied by Maurice of Nassau and other reformers who shaped seventeenth-century drill and tactics. A cornerstone of Renaissance military scholarship and a beautiful product of the Antwerp engraving tradition. Complete examples with all plates and the large folding Iconismus intact are now uncommon.
