After publishing his treatise \u003cem\u003e\u003cem\u003eLo Schermo\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e in Copenhagen in 1606, Fabris returned to his native Padua. However, his teachings stayed alive in Denmark and Germany, rapidly replacing the older, local styles of fencing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJohann Georg Pascha was another German fencing master, who published numerous treatises on fencing and other arts young nobles should learn. In 1671, he signed the dedication on a book titled \u003cem\u003e\u003cem\u003eProper Description of Thrust-Fencing with the Single Rapier\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e, now known by its shelf number \u003cem\u003e\u003cem\u003eMscr.Dresd.C.13\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e. Pascha writes that this book presents the fencing lessons of master Von und zum Velde, who learned them \"in Italy from the famous Salvatore\", to which Pascha added his own lessons about \"parrying, as well as holds, and other lessons and guards\" to make \"a complete fencing book\". Interestingly, British Library \u003cem\u003eMs 17533\u003c\/em\u003e contains the same text as the Dresden manuscript, minus Pascha's additions, thus allowing for a direct comparison between the two versions of this text.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this volume, the reader will find a complete translation of \u003cem\u003e\u003cem\u003eMs.Dresd.C.13\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e and the illustrations from British Library \u003cem\u003e\u003cem\u003eMS 17533\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e. Additionally, the translators provide a thorough comparison of these two original works, as well as a full discussion on their authorship.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTo a modern student of fencing, this work presents a clear introduction to the German style of rapier fencing based on the teachings of Fabris, as well as many useful lessons on thrust-fencing and proceeding with resolution. Furthermore, this book offers an important insight into the early evolution of this lineage, and places many historical figures and publications in their proper context.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Reinier Van Noort\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0993421679\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780993421679\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Fallen Rook Publishing Ltd\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/06\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 246\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.22lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.75h x 8.25w x 0.81d","brand":"Reinier Van Noort","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47931174551807,"sku":"9780993421679","price":65.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4f9e96ba-6a79-40be-bead-c5a13f9b45ef.jpg?v=1766346959","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/proper-description-of-thrust-fencing-with-reinier-van-noort-9780993421679","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
