Il Fior di Battaglia (MS XXIV)

Manuscript 1699 Italian Italy

Fiore dei Liberi

Created on 2026-07-18 by separating Wiktenauer Manuscripts overlap source row 161 into its own Fiore witness work.

Quality phase 393: identified the witness as fols. 783–784 of MS XXIV, not a complete seventeenth-century copy of the fencing book. Apostolo Zeno transcribed only the preface in Venice and sent it to Giusto Fontanini on 4 July 1699.
