Italian Rapier Combat: Capo Ferro's 'Gran Simalcro', ed. Jared Kirby.

Italian Rapier Combat: Capo Ferro's 'Gran Simalcro', ed. Jared Kirby.
A translation of a classic Italian manual on fighting with the rapier, complete with reproductions of a mix of illustrations from two early editions of this famous work. Most technical terms have been left in Italian, with clear explanations at the start, so the book is best suited to someone with an interest in fencing or authentic period fighting methods.
