Spanish sabre manual by Don Federico Gerona y Ensenat, a cavalry officer. Thimm preserves the 1877 Madrid witness and also notes the enlarged 1882 state. Later specialist catalogues confirm the work as part of the late nineteenth-century military sabre literature in Spain.
Vigeant 1882 confirms the 1877 Madrid Fortanet issue of Esgrima del sable, describing it as a luxury edition with 19 lithographic plates and identifying the author as Don Federico Gerona y Ensenat. The duplicate local shell with the variant Frederico spelling has been folded into this work.
