Paucis annis postquam Woelfi'lini Strategematum Po lyaeni prodierat editio Teubneriana, Valentinus Rose pri mus ostendit codicem Florentinum omnium qui exstant Polyaeni librorum manuscriptorum esse archetypurn. Ita que cum abhinc quattuor anuos bibliopola. Honestissimus Woelfflinum nove.m editionem pa.rare iussisset, inprimi3 codex ille Florentinus Mediceus denuo conferendus fait, sed in aliis tunc ipsum inceptis 0peribus occupatus Woelff linus, praeceptor dileotissimus, quo. Est in disoipulos hu manita.te et liberalitate, mihi non solum mandavit, ut Polya'eni strategemata. Iterum recensenda. Susciperem, sed etiam omnia tradidit, quae ipse ad alteram editionem ia.m collegerat. Quamobrem hoc 1000 viro clarissimo ut stu diorum meorum fautori et adiutori gratias ago quam maximas.

[John Cairns · Rating 4 out of 5]

He gets onto the Romans and provides information unavailable in more general narratives or different like Scipio's training of his army in Spain, how Marius defeated the Cimbri, who barely spoke a human language, and Caesar's ways with his men, fellow-soldiers. He ends with women's stratagem's. I particularly like the Persian women's asking their cowardly men did they want to go back where they came from.
