Burgundian Military Ordinances
In the fifteenth century, the Dukes of Burgundy issued military ordinances for their polyglot armies. A recent edition is available online:
Fabien Delpu, Aux Sources d’une Armée Permanente: Édition Critique et Commentaire des Ordonnances Militaires de Charles le Téméraire (1471-1476). Thèse pour le diplôme d’archiviste paléographe, École Nationale des Chartes, 2013. https://enc.hal.science/hal-04096177 (thanks Léo B. for the recommendation)
and one of the manuscripts of the 1473 ordinance has been digitized: BNF Français 23963 https://gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/btv1b90635597/#
Older Editions and Paraphrases
An article by David S. Bachrach cites Mémoires pour servir à l’histoire de France et de Bourgogne, 22 vols. (Paris, 1729), 2:285-94 (ordinance of 1471) and Lois Militaires de Charles de Bourgogne de l’An 1473, in Der Schweizerischegeschichtsforscher, 2 vols. (1817). What appears to be a transcription of these articles is available from Legio Burgundiae http://legioburgundiae.unblog.fr/ but they do not cite their sources and some seem to be paraphrases. There is an 1846 edition without date and citations in Les Mémoires des Bourgougnons de la France-Conté. Livre XII. Chap IX pp. 1246-1248 https://gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/bpt6k124914d/f659.item.zoom I have not compared any of these to Delpu’s transcriptions or the manuscript in Paris!
