Orchésographie

Book 1596 French France

Thoinot Arbeau

A-block staging entry validated for model fit. Imported from staging batch duell-thimm-a, source entry 101. Retitled from long descriptive title.

Rare French work mixing dance, drum, fife, and weapons instruction. Gelli highlights it as one of the earliest French books to contain material on the play of arms, despite its limited technical fencing value.
