Livro da ensinança de bem cavalgar toda sela

Manuscript Portuguese Portugal

Duarte I of Portugal

The local record represents Duarte I's broader horsemanship manuscript, but Leguina 1891 separately notes the Regimento para aprender a jogar as armas as a manuscript witness within the same royal martial context. This Leguina witness is therefore linked cautiously here as a related manuscript notice rather than treated as a printed fencing work.

Quality phase 329: MS Portugais 5 was left unfinished at Duarte I’s death in 1438; 1438 is a terminus/date of manuscript production, not a publication year.

Quality phase 385: normalized the Portuguese title and kept the work distinct from Leal Conselheiro, although both survive in BnF MS Portugais 5. Bem cavalgar occupies fols. 99r–128r, was left unfinished at Duarte’s death in 1438 and was dedicated to Queen Eleanor of Aragon.
