From New York Public Library's summary: "[C]ompiled by Christine de Pisan mainly from the French translation of Vegetius by [or rather, attributed to] Jean de Vignai, with additions from the Arbre des batailles of Honoré Bonnor [also spelled Bovet or Bonet]."--Catalogue of books printed in the XVth century now in the British Museum. See also Lefèvre, Sylvie. "Christine de Pizan," in Dictionnaire des lettres françaises: le Moyen Âge, édition entièrement revue et mise à jour, 1994, pages 285-286: "La première [partie] s'inspire essentiellement de Végèce, la seconde de Frontin"; in the third part, the author relates a dream in which she is advised to make use of Honoré Bovet's Arbre des batailles and to ignore accusations of plagiarism directed at her.

"L'art de chevalerie selon Vegece" by Christine de Pisan et al. is a historical account likely written in the late medieval period. The text centers around the principles and practices of chivalry as derived from the works of Vegetius, emphasizing the conduct that princes and their knights should maintain in war and battle. The overall theme explores the morality of warfare, the preparation for battles, and the responsibilities of leadership within the context of chivalric ideals. At the start of the text, the author introduces the reader to the structure of the work, which is divided into multiple chapters focusing on various aspects of chivalry and warfare. The opening discusses the justification of war, indicating that battles should only be waged for just causes and under the authority of sovereign princes. It outlines the essential qualities and responsibilities of a noble leader and the importance of wise counsel before embarking on warfare. This section sets the foundation for a detailed examination of tactics, ethics, and the chivalric virtues necessary for successful military leadership. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
