La scienza della scherma esposta dai due amici Rosaroll Scorza e Pietro Grisetti

Treatise 1803 Italian Italy

Giuseppe Rosaroll-Scorza, Pietro Grisetti

Foundational Neapolitan treatise by Rosaroll Scorza and Pietro Grisetti. Gelli praises it as the last major Italian fencing treatise before Enrichetti, Radaelli, and Masiello, while also criticizing its guard, speed, weapon-tying practice, pommel blows, and quasi-wrestling elements.

Castle also records the Milan 1803 Rosaroll Scorza and Grisetti witness with ten lithographed plates.

Vigeant 1882 describes the Rosaroll and Grisetti treatise as a vast and formula-heavy exposition of sword theory, difficult to follow in its calculations, yet still foundational for the later Neapolitan school.

Distinct from the unrelated homonymous works by Paolo De Scalzi (1835) and Blasco Florio (1844).

Quality phase 526: duplicate work 2818 consolidated into this canonical work. The Nocera Inferiore 1871 issue is a later edition of the 1803 Rosaroll–Grisetti treatise.
