Scope and ContentModified, incomplete and undated handwritten transcription, by an unknown author, from the second volume of Histoire de Polybe, published in 1729 by Jean-Charles de Folard, Chevalier de Folard (1669-1752), and from Campagne de l’armée du roi, en 1747, published in 1747 par Jean Baptiste Joseph d’Amarzit de Sahuguet, Baron of Espagnac (1713-1783).

The Baron of Espagnac was a former brigadier in the French army who fought during the War of Polish Succession (1733-1738) and served under Marshal Maurice de Saxe (1696-1750) during the War of Austrian Succession (1740-1748). He published a number of books on the art of war, his own military campaigns and Marshal De Saxe. The Chevalier de Folard was an officer during Louis XIV’s wars at the turn of the 18th century. He published many annotated editions of classical authors.
