Historical
European Martial Arts & Fencing Texts |
Presented here is our active ongoing
list of manuals and works of historical European Masters of Defence. Interpretation
and reconstruction of Medieval and Renaissance fencing is still only in
its infancy and bringing to public study the numerous manuals of the Masters
of Defence is an important part of our efforts. The ARMA encourages and
supports efforts at translating these invaluable texts. A large part of
the ARMA's energy is directed at interpretation and integration of translated
source material into practical hands-on curriculum. In gathering and compiling
data on Renaissance martial arts literature we have relied on a great variety
of sources among our membership and worldwide network of enthusiasts and
researchers. All information should be considered tentative and open to
revision pending further clarification and confirmation. |
