Gioiello di sapienza

Treatise 1618 Italian Italy

Antonio Quintino

Highly original defensive guide attributed by Gelli to Antonio Quintino, presenting practical and often surprising advice for escaping dangerous situations involving both men and animals.

Vigeant 1882 also preserves a 1613 Genoa and Milan line for Quintino, with portrait and fifteen woodcuts, and describes it as a curious self-defense guide for dangerous encounters involving both men and animals.

Gelli cites a 1618 Genoa witness and a Milan reprint by Pandolfo Malatesta. He notes Quintino's portrait and fifteen woodcuts in the text. Earlier Thimm-aligned local data had privileged a 1613/Boiccio line; the record now preserves Gelli's competing witness in public notes rather than spawning a duplicate.

Vigeant 1882, p. 108: printed at Genoa and reprinted at Milan by Pandolfo Malatesta, 1613. In-12 with Quintino portrait and 15 woodcuts in the text.
