"Fortunately Professor Fallows annotates copiously Chacón's condensed and specialized exposition throughout the Tractado, often citing parallel explications from more expansive authors. The edition preserves Chacón's original orthography, with modernized punctuation, case, and word-separation, resolving all abbreviations and correcting some obvious typographical errors. The detailed notes and lengthy bibliography comprise a very comprehensive guide to relevant scholarship on all the historical topics related to the Tractado, making Fallows' edition useful not simply to specialists in military practices, but to any student of aristocratic culture in the Spanish Renaissance." (Sixteenth Century Journal, Vol. XXXIII, No. 2, Summer 2002) "A reliable and thoroughly professional edition." (MLR, Vol. 96, No. 2, 2001)
