Hardcover. Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. Castrioto Lusitano . Varios successos entre Portuguezas, e belgas. Lisbon, Antonio Craesbeeck de Mello, 1679. Folio. Engraved title with medallion portrait of João Fernandes Vieira in central panel surrounded by architectural border with allegorical figures and his arms + [18] + 701 + [46]p. Decorative woodcut initials and ornaments. Contemporary blind-tooled calf, spine ornamented in gilt. First edition of this early account of the Portuguese war with the Dutch in Brazil (1623-54) largely based on a contemporary manuscript by Diogo Lopes Santiago (which remained unpublished until the late 19th century), but also drawing on other sources such as Valeroso Lucideno by Manoel Calado, an eyewitness, and Francisco Manoel de Mello's Epanaforas. The author, a Benedictine abbot, praises the military exploits of João Fernandes Vieira who raised the revolt against the Dutch invaders in 1645, and successfully fought a guerilla war against them which ended with the capture of their last stronghold Pernambuco in 1654. Vieira, a native of Madeira and a natural leader of men, is flatteringly described as the 'Lusitanian Castriota' after George Castriota, known as Scanderbeg, the legendary 15th century Albanian hero. This work was clearly intended to be continued, as the title-page refers to 'Parte I', but no more was published. A new edition with a much altered text appeared in Paris in 1844. The author was appointed first historian of Portugal in 1681. A fine copy with wide margins; small hole in engraved title resulting from ink corrosion from an early ownership signature on verso.

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. [LIGNE, Charles-Joseph Prince de]. Préjugés militaires, par un officier autrichien. 'A Kralovelhota' (author's private press at Beloeil Castle). 2 volumes in 8vo. [4] + 224p; [2] + 148p including engraved dedication leaf, and 2 leaves of addititional index at end; with 20 engraved plates (mostly folding) showing arms and military tactics, 2 folding tables; 14 exquisitely engraved vignettes of battles by Choffard in the text. Ornamental vignettes. Half calf, marbled boards. First edition of one of the most charming 18th century illustrated book, a witty discussion of contemporary army tactics by an Austrian field marshal. The Prince de Ligne (1735-1814) first distinguished himself during the Seven-Years' War against Frederick the Great whom he greatly admired and who appears to be the only authority not questioned here. Ligne seems to have been a follower of the French tactician Guibert, who in turn had been influenced by the Prussian method. The first volume comprises general observations on cavalry and infantry, artillery, fortification, discipline etc, as well as chapters on military medicine and hospitals; it is adorned with exquisite miniature textual illustrations (48 x 73mm) of famous battles of the Seven Years' War (1756-63), engraved by Choffard after designs by the author, making it one of the most charming of 18th century books. The second volume, entitled 'Fantaisies Militaires', is devoted to battle orders, composition of army units, and general manoeuvres. This edition is also interesting as a typographical curiosity, having been printed at the author's private press at Beloeil Castle, famous for its gardens, and published with a spurious imprint. It was later reprinted at Dresden and translated into German in 1783. A few occasional insignificant light traces of usage, but a very good copy from the Liechtenstein collection with armorial bookplate on verso of front flyleaf of each volume.
