介绍（中）	当这篇军事论文于1460年左右完成时，赞助人Sigismondo Pandolfo Malatesta向路易·XI、Francesco Sforza和Lorenzo de‘Medici等统治者分发了大量手稿。现存22份手写本。1472年，这本书以拉丁文版本出版，1483年又出版了意大利语版本。该出版物的新颖性与其说在于所描绘的机器，不如说在于机器的图像获得了如此广泛的传播。列奥纳多·达·芬奇非常了解意大利版，并从中获得了一些军事技术绘画的灵感作为第二本在意大利印刷的插图书，《军事化》具有过渡性的特点。使用签名标记来帮助组装这本书仍然缺乏，没有分页，木刻与文本分开印刷。与印刷最初几年的许多书籍一样，长期受雇于手稿制作的微型画家和校对者仍然可以扮演一个角色——最初的字母和标题不是印刷的，而是手工添加的。在这本书中，我们看到一些大写字母被涂成了红色和蓝色；较大的发光首字母标志着书中的主要部分。
介绍（英）	When this military treatise was completed around 1460, the patron, Sigismondo Pandolfo Malatesta, distributed a number of manuscript copies to rulers such as Louis XI, Francesco Sforza, and Lorenzo de' Medici. Twenty-two handwritten copies survive. In 1472, the book appeared in print in this Latin edition, which was followed in 1483 by an Italian version. The novelty of the publication lay less in the machines portrayed than in the fact that the images of the machines achieved such wide distribution. Leonardo da Vinci knew the Italian edition well and drew inspiration from it for some of his drawings of military technology. As the second illustrated book to be printed in Italy, 'De re militari' has characteristics of a transitional work. The use of signature marks to aid in assembly of the book is still lacking, there is no pagination, and the woodcuts were printed separately from the text. As in many books from the first years of printing, a role was still envisioned for the miniaturists and rubricators who had long been employed in the production of manuscripts—initial letters and headings were not printed but were meant to be added by hand. In this copy we see some of the capital letters have been painted in red and blue; larger illuminated initials mark major divisions within the book.
