Discorso di Camillo Palladini Bolognese sopra l'arte della scherma, come l'arte della scherma e necessaria a chi si diletta d'arme

Manuscript 1600 Italian Italy

Camillo Palladini

Unpublished manuscript with 42 original red-chalk drawings. The existing Thimm-aligned record places it circa 1560, while Gelli describes it as around 1730; the record therefore preserves the dating conflict rather than creating a duplicate manuscript work.

Castle places the Palladini manuscript around 1590 and mentions forty-two red-chalk drawings, adding a third dating witness to the already-conflicted record.

Vigeant 1882 dates the unpublished Palladini manuscript around 1570, again describing its 42 original red-chalk drawings. He regrets that it was never printed and says that, although the author follows Agrippa, he merits to stand beside Grassi, Capoferro, and Giganti.

Unpublished manuscript with 42 original red-chalk drawings. Existing Thimm-aligned evidence places it around 1560; Gelli instead describes it as circa 1730, so the public record preserves both datings as conflicting witnesses.

Vigeant 1882, p. 102: manuscript, oblong quarto, about 1570, with 42 original red-chalk drawings. Vigeant regrets that it remained unpublished and praises its originality within the Italian tradition.
