- Summary:
- This beautifully-illustrated and detailed book presents one of the world's most influential fencing treatises. Capo Ferro was a legend in his own lifetime and his intricate and exact instructions were copied and emulated throughout a Europe bewitched by this Italian's grace and style. The manual, illustrated with 43 striking illustrations, gives a very real flavor of the panache of this expert in swordsmanship and mastery of that most lethal of weapons - the rapier.
