A word-by-word transcription of the 1584 fencing work of Alfonso Falloppia. This short book is perhaps the first work which can be considered to cover the classic "Italian Rapier" which would be covered in detail in the next century by such authors as Giganti, Capoferro, and Fabris. Falloppia covers techniques for Sword-Alone, Sword and Dagger, and Sword and Cape. This work is in Italian with the Transcriber's Notes in English.
