It was the intention of the author [Friedrich August Rosen, 1805-37, professor of Sanskrit at University College, London] to publish the text with a transla tion, explanatory notes, and an index verborum, and to have prefixed to the whole a comprehensive view of the character and manners of the Hindoos in that early period to which the origin of the Vedas is to be referred. But a sudden death,inthe prime of life,and in the full vigour of his intellectual powers, just after he had completed his 32nd year, overthrew at once this great project, and interrupted an undertaking for which no one was so well qualified and prepared as himself. Text and translation only are complete. Of the notes not more than a fourth part is in a finished state.

Editio princeps of the original Greek text, published with an annotated Latin translation by Nicolas Rigault (Rigaltius 1577-1654), a distinguished French classical scholar, who succeeded Casabon as Royal librarian in Paris. Onosander (Onesandros), a pedantic Greek philosopher of the first century A.D., was the chief authority for the military writings of several Byzantine emperors. His work in 42 chapters, entitled 'The General' explains the broad principles of command, the formation of an army, the preparation for battle, and other aspects of warfare from an ethical standpoint. 'The earliest military treatise wherein so much stress is laid upon the commander's duties, the morale of the troops, the ethical side of warfare' (Sarton). The text became very popular during the Renaissance and was translated into Latin (1494), German (1532), French and Italian (1546), and English (1563). The English translation (from Cotta's Italian version by Peter Whitehorne - see Cockle 14) was one of the earliest books on the subject published in Elizabethan England.
