Folio (306 x 468 mm). 1 page. With engraved headpiece and border. With red lacquer seal of the Republic. Service record of André Churau, an infantryman serving in Napoleon's Oriental Army during the Egyptian campaign, bearing a rare autograph signature of commander Pierre François Xavier Boyer (1772-1851), a devout follower of Napoleon nicknamed "Pedro the Cruel" for his brutal actions against Spanish partisans. Co-signed by five other officers and confirmed at the Divisions Office on 3 March 1799. Embellished with a fine engraved headpiece commemorating the most significant victories of the 85th Demi-Brigade. - Born in Angers in 1766, André Churau served in Italy from 1793 to 1798, fought at the capture of Malta, and was injured at Neumarkt, Tyrol, in 1798. He was discharged following the loss of his eyesight during his service in Egypt. - Pierre François Xavier Boyer was named chief of staff of Laharpe's division in March of 1796, as a young General Bonaparte took command of the Army of Italy. In 1798 Boyer was attached to Kléber's division in the Army of the Orient, took part in the action in Malta in June and was subsequently selected to serve on the general staff. After Napoleon left the army to return to France, Boyer continued to serve in Egypt and was sent in pursuit of Murad Bey. In 1802 he took part in the Expedition to Saint-Domingue. While sailing back to France he was captured by the British. After being exchanged, he fought at Jena and Pultusk in 1806, Friedland in 1807, and Wagram in 1809. Transferred to Spain, Boyer led a dragoon division at Salamanca and the Battles of Venta del Pozo in 1812 and Vitoria in 1813. - Some marginal tears with occasional paper loss professionally restored.…

Folio (205 x 320 mm). 22 ff., final blank leaf. French manuscript on paper. Fine clerk's script in black ink on paper with various watermarks. Hand-stitched with a patriotic tricolor ribbon, never bound. With two contemporary addenda. An internal report on Napoleon's invasion of Ottoman Syria and Egypt, evidently owned and used by a high-ranking officer within Napoleon's Egyptian Army. This original French manuscript compiles crucial military information regarding the structure, casualties, and supply needs of the French Armée d'Orient. It was a war the French Army would lose less than a year later, after which the British - allied with the Ottomans against France in an effort to protect their own colonial interests in the Arabian Peninsula and India - would gain an imperial toehold in Egypt and Syria. - The manuscript was completed for the French District Office of Cairo, and presents a tightly organized, detailed breakdown of the crucial aspects of Napoleon's army and campaign. A subheading on the title-page reads: "La minute de cette situation existe; Elle a été établie au Ministère de la Guerre". This is, therefore, presumably a contemporary copy prepared in the Cairo District Office ("Quartier Général au Kaire"). The manuscript opens with an overview of the command structure of the Army, starting with General Jacques-François de Menou (later Abdullah Menou, 1750-1810), head of the Egyptian Campaign after the assassination of Kléber, and a convert to Islam. - Following the famous names is all that makes an Army move: how many horses each division has, and how many are assigned to artillery units or officers, who has enough gunpowder and who does not, and requests for siege artillery. Horses also feature on the casualty lists, which for soldiers and officers are organized by hospital and rank. Longer notes defend the reasoning behind supply and munitions requests: "Le Siège d'Aboukir, le blocus de Kaire, et l'expédition de Syrie tous voir qu'il est indispensible d'avoir un Equipage de Siège". - In fact, most military aims are towards siege warfare, providing a fascinating glimpse into the invasion of the Ottoman Empire which, with hindsight, was failing by the autumn of 1800. Soon, the generals who were proudly listed in the command structure would be facing the end: before the next Vendémaire, Belliard would surrender Cairo, and Menou would surrender Alexandria, thus ending the war. - Faint offsetting, a few minor smudges. Remarkably well preserved. - Includes two further handwritten leaves: a general table of the French troops embarked at Aboukir on 13 Thermidor an 9 (1 August 1801: handwritten document signed by general Augustin Daniel Belliard 1769-1832, 36 x 47 cm), and a short useful guideline titled "Sur l'histoire ou Annuaire des musulmans" (double-sided ms. sheet, 23 x 35 cm, ca. 1802), with notes on the conversions of Hijri and Gregorian dates.…
