Portuguese military fencing instruction by Jose de Mello Pacheco de Resende, printed at Rio de Janeiro in 1839 for practical use in the military school and in cavalry and mounted artillery units.
Quality phase 650: duplicate work 3604 was consolidated into this canonical record. The Gelli and Sacramento Blake title is the same Rio de Janeiro 1839 work already described by Thimm. Former title: Instrucções do jogo de espada a pé e a cavallo. Former author statement: José de Mello Pacheco de Rezende. Former description: Brazilian or Luso-Brazilian military fencing instruction for foot and mounted sword exercise. Former historical notes: Created from Gelli under José Mello Pacheco de Rezendo. A secondary bibliographic witness records the same Rio de Janeiro 1839 title and military-use framing, but without author attribution; that corroboration is preserved here as supporting evidence rather than replacing Gelli.
