Chroniqueur bourguignon, Guillaume Paradin relate ici des événements survenus sous les règnes de François Ier jusqu’à Henri II, avec une posture de témoin immédiat. USTC, 150083 ; Cartier, I, 123 ; Cioranescu, 17012.

2) VALTURIO, Roberto (1405-1475). De Re Militari Libri XII. Paris : Chrétien Wechel, 1535.

Ingénieur militaire du condottiere Sigismond Malatesta, Roberto Valturio compile ici les savoirs tactiques et poliorcétiques de son temps. Largement diffusé sous sa forme manuscrite, le texte est imprimé pour la première fois en 1472 et connaît un réel succès avec la publication d’éditions illustrées, aux nombreuses gravures sur bois, parfois fantaisistes. Ainsi peut-on y admirer une tour de siège prenant la forme d’un dragon (p. 239). USTC, 181575 ; PMM, *10, p. 7, Ris-Paquot, t. II, 2376, p. 107.
