Vegetius, Flavius RenatusEpitoma rei militaris (ed. Johannes Sulpitius).
Imprint:
Rome: Eucharius Silber, 29 Jan. 1487. 4°.
In the same year Silber printed Aelianus Tacticus (A‑041), Frontinus (F‑109), and Modestus (M‑287). The books were conceived as a unit; see the dedicatory letter from Johannes Sulpitius above. Goff, CIBN, and others list the books under the common heading ‘Scriptores rei militaris'; under such a heading are listed in this catalogue two more editions containing the same texts, one printed by Eucharius Silber in 1494 (S‑120), which also contains a Latin translation of Onosander, Strategicus, another printed by Franciscus Plato de Benedictis in 1495-6 (S‑121), edited by Philippus Beroaldus, who rearranged the order of appearance of the texts, but the edition is otherwise based on Sulpitius'.
