Trattato sulla scherma

Treatise 1837 Italian Italy

Michele Gambogi

Treatise by Conte Michele Gambogi, printed at Milan in 1837 at the expense of the author and adorned with plates by Giuseppe Rado. Gelli records the book fully but judges it severely as a damaging adaptation from Angelo.

Vigeant 1882 preserves the fuller Milan 1837 Gambogi witness, with the R. Fanfani imprint, dedication to Count Francesco Annoni, figures engraved by Giuseppe Rados, portrait of the author, and 56 lithographic plates outside the text.
