Masaniello Parise's major fencing treatise, approved by ministerial commission and central to the Roman military school. Gelli cites a Rome 1888 witness, while external and Thimm-aligned bibliographic evidence points to the first edition in 1884 and to a fourth edition in 1889; the public record therefore preserves the witness conflict rather than multiplying duplicate works.
Gelli records the 1889 second-edition state of this Parise work family.
