Manuscript Partial Reviewed

Libro del exercicio de las armas

Manuscript Spanish Spain

Pietro Monte

Created from the Wiktenauer Manuscripts staging import. Source row 63. Signature: MS a.IV.23

Quality phase 345: MS a.IV.23 is not the 1509 printed Collectanea itself. Scholarship dates this partial Spanish translation of its first two books to 1550–1600. Pietro Monte remains linked as source author; the translator and copyist are unknown.

Quality phase 656: work 3313 consolidated into this canonical work. Same Escorial manuscript notice, now tied to MS a.IV.23 and Pietro Monte. Former title: Libro del ejercicio de las armas. Former author statement: Anonymous. Former description: none Former historical notes: Anonymous manuscript notice transmitted second-hand through the Bibliotheca Hispana nova and the Escorial reference chain. Local editorial handling treats this as a placeholder work because the title is distinct but no direct manuscript witness has yet been verified.

Corrected on 2026-07-17 after Wiktenauer Manuscripts batch 3 witness audit.

Quality phase 345: the official catalogue dates the physical codex only to the sixteenth century; scholarship proposes 1550–1600. The numeric year 1550 is a lower-bound anchor, not an exact date.

Representative cover/frontispiece/title-page/initial-folio image retrieved from the linked Wiktenauer page in phase 643. Edition correspondence and image suitability were individually verified; file 'Escorial MS a.IV.23.png', 800×551 pixels.

Quality phase 656: edition 3346 consolidated here. Second-hand Escorial title notice resolved to the directly catalogued MS a.IV.23 witness. Former fields: title=Libro del ejercicio de las armas; year=null; city_id=664; publisher_id=null; printer_id=null; format=null; pages=null. Former notes: Undated manuscript notice. Gelli relays the title through the Escorial and Bibliotheca Hispana nova notice chain; no direct codicological witness confirmed locally yet.
