Testo di grande itneresse per una ricerca in corso. Dall’abstract: “The book examines the unique role of European military engineers in the service of both kingdoms and republics from the fifteenth to the early nineteenth century […]. They were active in European sovereignties from Lisbon to Istanbul, and also in the fortified port enclaves and dominions acquired by their employers overseas […]. With the evolution of civilian professions such as civil engineering and pressure to specialise as combat engineers, they finally narrowed their scope, leading to underestimation of their wider earlier significance”.
Penso possa essere di interesse per entrambe le Biblioteche Centrali.
