Rome: Eucharius Silber, 1 June 1487. 4°.
In the same year Silber printed also Vegetius (V‑052), Aelianus Tacticus (A‑041), and Modestus (M‑287). The books were conceived as a unit; see the dedicatory letter from Johannes Sulpitius in his edition of Vegetius, item 1 in this volume ('Tres de ea re scriptores egregios quos nuperrime recognoui, Vegetium, Aelianum, et Frontinum simul coniunxi et ut emendatissimi in tuas et in aliorum manus uenirent effeci . . .'). Goff, CIBN and others list the books under the common heading ‘Scriptores rei militaris'; under such heading are listed in this catalogue two more editions containing the same texts, one printed by Eucharius Silber in 1494 (S‑120), which contains also 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 this edition is otherwise based on Sulpitius'.
