ABOUT THIS BOOK
ABOUT THIS BOOK
The “Parangelmata Poliorcetica” and the “Geodesia,” two Greek treatises on the construction of devices for siege warfare, are products of 10th-century Byzantium. The texts are presented here in critical editions based, for the first time, on the archetype manuscript Vaticanus graecus 1605 and accompanied by an English translation and commentary. The illustrations, reproduced in this edition, go beyond the traditional ground plans of the time and show elevations to represent finished devices in action. See other books on: Byzantine Empire | Byzantium | Early works to 1800 | Siege warfare | Sullivan, Denis F. See other titles from Harvard University Press |
