The De Re Militari of Vegetius: The Reception, Transmission and Legacy of a Roman Text in the Middle Ages
Allmand, Christopher (University of Liverpool)
Vegetius' late Roman text became a best-selling military 'classic' in the Middle Ages, and this fascinating study explores its reception and transmission. Although always read principally as a work offering practical military advice, the text was also transformed into an authority on war and inspired unexpected developments in the medieval world.
