Dettagli

French version only!

Renowned for his remarkable architectural construction and restoration work, Eugène Viollet-Le-Duc reveals a lesser-known aspect of his talent: a masterly study of the military customs of the Middle Ages, listing the weapons of the period and their use.

Engravings of exceptional quality illustrating the details of each weapon and suit of armour are accompanied by meticulous descriptions of their handling and functions. A chapter at the end of the book is devoted to the tactics of French armies during the Middle Ages.

More than a dictionary, this work is a true history book, a superbly realistic account of the living and fighting conditions of medieval warriors.

A fascinating book.

If you're into role-playing games, this is a MUST-HAVE for enriching your epic tales.
