How to build a fortress – Sebastien Le Prestre de Vauban: De l'attaque et de la défense des places

This two-volume book on military tactics – extremely rarely encountered in Hungary – was published in 1737 and subsequently in 1829. A copy of the 1737 edition – released in the Hague and owned by the Library of Parliament – was acquired by Ignác Ghyczy, a former MP for his private collection.
