Until now, Camillo Palladini's manuscript for his discourse on fencing was housed in the De Walden Library at the Wallace Collection in London. Hitherto unpublished and largely unknown, it is of central importance to a modern understanding of Italian rapier play in the sixteenth century. This stunning book, a joint endeavour between the Royal Armouries and the Wallace Collection, reproduces the forty-six red chalk illustrations in the manuscript--only three of which have ever been seen in print--together with a transcription and translation of the original Italian text. Perfect for students of fencing, lovers of Italian art, sixteenth-century researchers, and historical reenactors and interpreters, The Art of Fencing: The Forgotten Discourse of Camillo Palladini showcases a striking example of Renaissance swordsmanship.

Piermarco Terminiello is an instructor at the School of the Sword in Berkshire and Surrey and a historical fencer and researcher. Joshua Pendragon is an independent scholar and researcher who specializes in the history of fencing, swordplay, and the role of the sword in Europe. He has been the external consultant on terms relating to fencing for the revision of the Oxford English Dictionary since 2001.
