The Flower of Battle of Master Fiore de'i Liberi - Volume II

ByMichael ChidesterKendra Brown

Usually printed in 3 - 5 business days
Drawing on the manuscript scans, transcriptions, and translations hosted by Wiktenauer, this book offers the first ever compilation of the four known copies of the treatise of Fiore de’i Liberi, including a previously unpublished translation of the Florius manuscript. Each page contains a single play—of grappling, baton, dagger, sword vs. dagger, and sword in one hand in volume I, and of sword, axe, spear, or mounted fencing in volume II—carefully laid out with the relevant translations and high-resolution scans from the Morgan Ms. M.303, the Getty Ms. Ludwig XV 13, the BnF Ms. Latin 11269, and Novati's 1902 facsimile of the Pisani Dossi Ms. In this way, it offers the most complete version possible of Fiore's teachings. All profits from the sale of this book go to supporting the Wiktenauer project.
