1533: A Wonderful and Rich Source of All Sorts of Early-16th C. Arms and Armor!

[kronckew]

i stop at a smattering of greek:

Ὦ ξεῖν', ἀγγέλλειν Λακεδαιμονίοις ὅτι τῇδε
κείμεθα, τοῖς κείνων ῥήμασι πειθόμενοι.

i use the latin translation of simonides' inscription on the grave of the 300 in my signature tho for consistency.

and to think the romans used to consider us germanic people as 'barbarians'. silivius berlusconius eat your heart out...

Right, that beats everything!

Hi All, sorry for writing here, but since I'm new to this forum, I am not allowed to send PMs, so I hope you wont mind too badly.


Matchlock:
I would really like that 7mb high-rez picture that you have. I hope we can find something out since it, as you say, is a really comprehensive view of the Landsknecht army.

Excellent find Michael ! May I also humbly ask for the whole picture ? Imperial knights and Gallic horse (which looks particularly similar to period depictions of Eastern cavalrymen) are quite a treat as well !

Much obliged,
Samuel

I am too very interested in a large resolution (7MB) copy of Melchior Feselen's Battle of Alesia. Could I ask you to send me a copy on ngegir@yandex.ru, or, alternately, on ngegir@gmail.com.

I am currently researching depictions of renaissance and early modern engagements (or historical/fictional engagements by artists of the era) for my PhD, and found this source especially interesting. I had seen an overview in Hale's Artists and Warfare in the Renaissance (marked as "Siege of Alesia" there), but it's in B&W and, of course, very little of the detail can be seen.

Kind regards,

Nikolai A.G.
