1677 ENGLISH Julius Caesar WAR Commentaries Military Tactics Bellum Edmonds RARE

“If you must break the law, do it to seize power: in all other cases observe it!”

– Julius Caesar

A rare collection of civil war histories and Julius Caesar war commentaries!

Julius Caesar’s war commentaries are some of the most prolific military writings! While not specifically known for his writing, Julius Caesar wrote this book which would become a mainstay in the Latin literature canon. It focuses on first-hand account of Julius Caesar in the Callic wars, but it was written as though from a third-person view.

This rare 1677 English edition was translated by Clement Edmonds, who was held in high regard for his writings on military and art of war. (DNB)
