Michiel Vliegenthart

Woodcut : 17,30 x 13,40 cm 
Condition: Very good impression . On laid paper trimmed outside the woodcut borders  with the Italian text on the backside

The woodcut corresponds to the ones used in the first edition published in 1536 as can be seen in the Bayrischen Staatsbibliothek: 

Fencing master, Achille Marozzo (1483-1553), was the most prominent and influential champion of the Dardi school of swordsmanship, which emerged in Bologna during the Renaissance.

Lippo di Bartolomeo Dardi's system of single-handed sword techniques bridged the gap between the cruder medieval cutting and slashing style and the nimble and more technically inclined thrusting methods associated with the rapier. The latter system would come to dominate fencing in the 17th and 18th centuries.

Dardi (or Bardi) had established an academy early in the 15th century in Bologna, his combat strategies were passed down through students and Marozzo published the record of the school's principles in his 1536 book, 'Opera Nova dell'Arte delle Armi'

Opera Nova' was the most important fencing manual of the 16th century and the first serious work to establish uniform rules for the use of weapons. It provides practical direction for both defensive and offensive use of swords, daggers and polearms.
