An English translation of The Book of Peace, written between 1412 and 1414 by Christine de Pizan, one of the earliest known women authors. Translated material is side by side with the original French text.
This translation shows that "The Book of Deeds of Arms and of Chivalry" contains much that is original to the author. As a military manual it provides details about the strategy, tactics and technology of mediaeval warfare and is an important source for early gunpowder weapon technology.
