  • Added t.p., engraved and illustrated; title: Maniere de fortifier de Mr de Vauban.
  • Numerous editions of this work, by the abbé Du Fay and De Cambray, a French engineer, were published in Paris and Amsterdam between 1691 and 1771. Most editions, including the first (Paris, 1681 [i.e. 1691]) bore Du Fay's name only. De Cambray's name appeared alone on the Amsterdam, 1689 edition, while the Paris, 1694 edition was issued under both names. Du Fay wrote the geometrical part and De Cambray that on fortification. cf. Jähns, M. Geschichte der Kriegswissenschaften, p. 1441.
