$a The text, 'Modesti de vocabulis rei Militaris liber', has been attributed to Pomponius Laetus. The illustrations are unsigned. R. Mortimer points out that most are copies of those used in Heinrich Steiner's Augsburg edition of 1529, which are themselves free copies of cuts used in the Erfurt edition printed by Hans Knappe in 1511. |
