Vauban also wrote mémoires to Louis XIV on fortifications, such as ''Mémoire pour servir d'instruction dans la conduite des sièges et dans la défense des places, par M. le maréchal de Vauban, présenté au Roi en 1704'', and the religious quarrels of the time also produced several mémoires.

It lost its polemical character and became a scientific text (or o ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
