Publisher's Synopsis
Achille Marozzo was one of a number of fencing masters of the early 16th century who helped to lay the foundation for the Bolognese School of Combat. Marozzo, like Fiore di Liberi, taught a system of combat that included combat with the dagger, single handed sword, two handed sword, and hafted weapons. This book details the use of the dagger alone, with the cape, with the sword, and also covers Marozzo's teachings on unarmed versus dagger. The scholar of 16th century combat will be able to gain insight into the use of the dagger within Marozzo's framework and will be able to compare it to other combat systems.
