Compendio de la Filosofía y destreza de las armas de Gerónimo de Carranza

Treatise 1612 Spanish Spain

Luis Pacheco de Narváez

Leguina 1891 records this Madrid 1612 compendium by Luis Pacheco de Narvaez as an extract from Carranza with objections, woodcuts in the text, and hostile marginal annotations in the copy he examined.

Vigeant 1882 describes the 1612 Compendio as a complement to the 1600 treatise, still grounded in Carranza's principles but more explicit in linking fencing to other sciences and in demonstrating its physical advantages.
