Abstract

The Diálogo sobre el oficio de sargento mayor by Francisco de Valdés is one of the texts with military theme from the 16th century more diffused in Europe, with translations into various languages, including Italian. This paper tries to describe the main Spanish editions, as well as the differences between them, and compare them with the two Venetian translations, especially with the first, from 1598, to determine which model was used by the translator, Giovani Paolo Gallucci, and his degree of intervention.
