## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Excellent Translation
  

*by A***A on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 28, 2017*

Marco Docciolini's text is one of the most understudied in historical European martial arts (HEMA) because it lacks the pictures of later works like Capo Ferro or Fabris, which help facilitate understanding.  This makes Piermarco Terminiello's translation all the more crucial, because without instructions in clear, readable prose, turning the text on the page into a practical art of fencing would be an immensely difficult task.  Having now read Terminiello's translation, I am thrilled to say that Docciolini's instructions have been brought to life in clear, readable English.  Anyone who has had a little bit of prior experience in the fencing arts should be able to pick up this book and bring to life a style of fencing that hasn't been seen in over four-hundred years.  It will take time for the influence of Docciolini's text to really be felt in the HEMA community, and in rapier-fencing tournaments, but I suspect that we will be seeing more and more Docciolini-influenced fencers as a result of this clear, concise translation.

    A real gem.
  

*by A***R on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 1, 2017*

I'm just gushing over Piermarco and Steven's new translation of Docciolini. There's tons of overlap here with how I understand and teach Liechtenauer. As a 15thC guy, its nice to see something so familiar coming out of the 17thC. What's also nice are the later chapters:Two Swords, Sword and Buckler, Sword and Targe, Sword and Rotella. I think the word sword here is appropriate. It doesn't really read like a rapier text.This treatise is a real gem. Early German practitioners, don't shrug it off because of the Italian name and the year 1601. You'll see nachreisen, ansetzen, durchwechsel, versetzen and absetzen to name a few Liechtenauer concepts off of the top of my head along with a very simple and clear footwork.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    needs more diagrams
  

*by C***E on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 5, 2019*

I'd say a 4.5 perhaps the original text only had one diagram but in this day and age it would help with the explanation of the system if a few more diagrams were added.
