Inventor of the term "strategy", it is with the Theory of War (1777) that Maizeroy completed his work of theorization, because although History is much less present there, it is a manual intended for instruction of young officers on elementary tactics and major tactics.
In this work he states that the use of thin or deep order is a choice belonging to the general and thus gives more flexibility to systems on the battlefield.

[MANUSCRIT].
Remarques sur le Gouvernement du royaume durant les trois règnes de Henri IV, de Louis XIII, de Louis XIV.
s.l., s.n., [v. 1750].
More Details >
500 €
Handwritten copy of a work published anonymously by Pierre Marteau in 1688. Barbier attributes the book to Gratien de Courtilz but adds: "Dubious".
The content is rather discourteous towards the monarchs, of whom inglorious episodes are recounted: the lack of merit of Louis XIII (Richelieu having governed for him), Louis XIV preferring the beds of his mistresses to the battlefields... This doubtless explains why handwritten copies were able to circulate under the cloak of the laughers. In fact, two other similar handwritten copies can be found in public libraries.
What remains is a very pretty manuscript, in a perfectly legible late 17th century handwriting.

The Annales de la Société des soi-disans Jésuites is a collection of historical acts, documents, and letters that was published between 1764 and 1771 to denounce the place of the Order of Jesuits in French society. The collection was produced by the Abbé Jean-Antoine Gazaignes and consists of five volumes (Last is missing in our copy). It contains information about the founding of the order, its doctrines, its activities, and its various political movements. The Annales are of great importance for understanding the history of the Jesuits and their influence on French society. The Annales have also served as the basis for many historical works and studies on the Jesuits and their role in French history.
