La Scherma di F. Alfieri Maestro d'Arme dell' Illma Accademia Delia in Padova

Book 1640 Italian Italy

Francesco Ferdinando Alfieri

Padua fencing treatise by Francesco Ferdinando Alfieri, printed in 1640. The local record was created from a brief external-books staging line and is now enriched from Vigeant 1882, who gives the fuller title, oblong quarto format, medallion portrait, and thirty-seven Callot-school engravings. He also stresses the artistic importance of the engraved material for bibliophiles as well as fencers.
