Book Synopsis
Camillo Palladini's unpublished 'Discourse on Fencing' is crucial to a modern understanding of Renaissance rapier play. For the first time, this stunning book reproduces the manuscript in its entirety. It is perfect for students of fencing, lovers of Italian art, 16th-century researchers, and historical reenactors and interpreters.

Trade Review
Historians of swordsmanship have been waiting since 1882 to see Palladini in print, and here it is at last. Scholars will find it refreshing to study an unfamiliar Renaissance fencing treatise which constructively mocks the mathematical fantasies of Camillo Agrippa. -- Sydney Anglo
