Central European Infantry Handbooks in the Time of Early Modern Military Revolution
Original language description
The transformations of early modern warfare were reflected by a specific genre of period learned literature – military handbooks. In the period of 1550–1650, approximately 125 military handbooks were printed in Central Europe in ca. 225 editions. Twenty-five of these books were concerned specifically with the art of infantry war. While researching changes of the content and formal aspects of these military publications, it is possible to trace changes of period military theory. The prosopography of military theorists and book publishers helps to reveal how the new ideas were disseminated – in this case how the new approaches to infantry training and the art of war spread from Western and Northern Europe to its centre. The aim of this contribution is not only to describe period infantry handbooks, but also to characterise the transfer of revolutionary changes in infantry warfare from Netherlands and Sweden into Central Europe with the help of period military manuals.
