Treatise 1758 Spanish Spain

Nicolas Fernandez de Perinat

Leguina 1891 calls this Cadiz 1758 work the first published book on foil play, while noting that earlier books had been written. He records a large plate sequence and the Guardias Marinas academy imprint.

Vigeant 1882 describes Perinat's Cadiz 1758 oblong quarto as the first work touching this art, with 36 copper plates and the Guardias Marinas academy imprint.
