Apología de la destreza de las armas: defensa del libro de Carranza

Treatise 1623 Spanish Spain

Don Juan Fernando Pizarro

Leguina 1891 records this apologetic destreza work under Juan Fernando Pizarro from a Trujillo 1623 witness and adds that Pacheco himself declared in the preliminaries to Engano y desengano that he had written it. The bibliographic tradition therefore preserves both the Pizarro attribution and a strong claim of Pacheco's underlying authorship.

Trujillo, 1623. 8vo. Leguina 1891, pp. 122-123. Leguina records this witness under Juan Fernando Pizarro while noting Pacheco's own claim of authorship.

Attribution remains deliberately expressed as the historical Pizarro/Pacheco ambiguity recorded by Leguina.

Duplicate manifestation 1761 consolidated in quality phase 151 (2026-08-15). Alternate imported title: Apología de la destreza de lasarmas. Preserved source note: Source pages: 265.

Quality phase 410: false 1628 duplicate edition 3362 consolidated here; Castle confirms Trujillo 1623, 8°.

Quality phase 429: the rejected 1628 duplicate no longer justifies a date range; exact 1623 is retained while the Pizarro/Pacheco attribution ambiguity remains explicit.
