| Zusammenfassung: | The “book of Vallo” is the translation of the treatise written by Battista della Valle, printed in the same year as Machiavelli's “Military Art” (1521). Della Valle was, unlike Machiavelli, a “practical soldier”, so his “book” articulates the tradition of Classical warfare with the technical innovations introduced in the Renaissance battlefield, setting the standard for the “de re militari” treatise that it flourished in Italy, especially in the second half of the 16th century. The Portuguese translation, dated from c.1576, is a particularly important text not only from a military point of view, because it demonstrates the relevance of the “Italian military school” in the context of sebastic military reforms, but also as a testimony of the connection between the graphic and textual supports as practised in sixteenth-century Portugal, whose theme – warfare – proved so dear to the North African ambitions of the young king D. Sebastião. |
