Description:
Two volumes in original glassine in plain slip case. Hard covers. Quarto. Half vellum with titles in red. Volume one is a facsimile of the original with 173 diagrams. Volume two is a translation into German of the original Latin text. Small mark to spine of volume one. Very good.Bellifortis ("Strong in War", "War Fortifications") is the first fully illustrated manual of military technology, written by Konrad Kyeser and dating from the start of the 15th century it summarises material from classical writers on military technology, like Vegetius' De Re Militari and Frontinus' anecdotal Strategemata, emphasizing poliorcetics, or the art of siege warfare, but treating magic as a supplement to the military arts; it is "saturated with astrology", remarked Lynn White, Jr. in a review of the first facsimile edition.

Description:
Soft cover. Side stapled black wraps with silver title and design. 31pp. with b/w photographs. Staples rusted. Occasional foxing otherwise very good.Upon being freed from Ebensee-Mauthausen concentration camp in Austria, liberated by American troops of the 80th Infantry Division on 6 May 1945, Louis Henry Sampaix wrote a long document that was filed among the records of the Legal Adviser to General Eisenhower and published in various newspapers.
Four years later he wrote this booklet and states "These unhappy memories which I have assembled here without any order or place, should not have been published. But my conscience forbids me to be silent any more. I can still hear the voices of those who died and the light of the world becomes dark for me. I can still see, now, coming back again, the symptoms of Nazism and anti-Semitism. Forgive me, but I have no doubt that for you, as for myself, it is USEFUL to go back into the past. That is why: LET US NEVER FORGET.
