Abstract

The first edition of Jacob de Gheyn's drill book appeared in 1607 and his drill became common throughout 17th century Europe. The work is split into three parts : caliver drill (42 plates), musket drill (43 plates), pike drill (32 plates). It is a fascinating military manual, designed to instruct contemporary soldiers how to handle arms effectively, and correctly, and it makes for a unique glimpse into warfare as waged in the Thirty Years War and the English Civil War. The 117 illustrations contained in this book are fine examples of military history and military costume in the seventeenth century.
