Rare édition originale et unique de ce récit de la campagne de Charles Quint en Tunisie contre les corsaires ottomans, dû à Orazio Nucula, écrivain, diplomate et mécène italien du XVIe siècle. Le présent ouvrage est le récit de l'attaque et de la prise de Mahdia (Tunisie) qui s'est déroulée de juin à septembre 1550, pendant la lutte entre l'Empire ottoman et les Habsbourg d'Espagne pour le contrôle de la Méditerranée. En cette année, une expédition navale espagnole et également composée des troupes impériales de Charles Quint commandée par le condottiero et amiral génois Andrea Doria (1466-1560), assiège et capture la forteresse ottomane de Mahdia, défendue par l'amiral ottoman Turgut Reis (1485-1565), connu sous le nom de Dragut. Un condottiere est un soldat noble formé à l'art du combat mais surtout disposant de l'argent nécessaire pour équiper les soldats, mettant ainsi son art de la guerre au service d'États. L'expédition comprend également l'Espagnol Bernardino de Mendoza, ainsi que les Chevaliers de Malte et leur Grand Maître Claude de la Sengle. Turgut Reis utilisait la ville côtière fortifiée comme base pour ses activités de piraterie le long des côtes espagnoles et italiennes. Si Mahdia est abandonnée par les Espagnols trois ans plus tard, ils prennent tout de même soin de démolir toutes ses fortifications pour éviter une réoccupation de la ville par les Ottomans. Au début de l'ouvrage se trouve un glossaire latin-italien des termes utilisés dans l'ouvrage pour désigner les villes africaines de fondation moderne qui n'avaient pas de traduction latine. L'ouvrage comporte également une carte du détroit de Sicile sur double-page. Bel exemplaire. 1 vol 8vo (165 x 105 mm) of : 368 pp. (including title and 1 map); [4] pp. (privilege, table).

De Auria Montis Aldei Comitis". Half vellum, spine ribbed, hand-titled, marbled paper-covered boards, handwritten title on lower edge. Rare first and only edition of this account of Charles V's campaign in Tunisia against Ottoman corsairs, by the 16th-century Italian writer, diplomat and patron Orazio Nucula. The present work is the account of the attack and capture of Mahdia (Tunisia), which took place from June to September 1550, during the struggle between the Ottoman Empire and the Spanish Habsburgs for control of the Mediterranean. In that year, a Spanish naval expedition, also made up of Charles V's imperial troops and commanded by the Genoese condottiero and admiral Andrea Doria (1466-1560), besieged and captured the Ottoman fortress of Mahdia, defended by the Ottoman admiral Turgut Reis (1485-1565), known as Dragut. A condottiere is a noble soldier trained in the art of combat, but above all with the money to equip soldiers, thus putting his art of war at the service of states. The expedition also included the Spaniard Bernardino de Mendoza, as well as the Knights of Malta and their Grand Master Claude de la Sengle. Turgut Reis used the fortified coastal town as a base for his piratical activities along the Spanish and Italian coasts. Although Mahdia was abandoned by the Spanish three years later, they nevertheless took care to demolish all its fortifications to prevent the city from being reoccupied by the Ottomans. At the beginning of the book is a Latin-Italian glossary of terms used in the book to designate African cities of modern foundation that had no La.
