Manuscrito da espada. Biblioteca da Ajuda 49-III-6(2)
20,00 €
[:pt]Obra anónima custodiada na Biblioteca da Ajuda com a assinatura 49 -III- 6, encadernada em um volumem junto com as Lições de Marte (também no nosso catalogo). Por aparecer estas primeiras, o conjunto estava erradamente listado como um único texto. Estamos, portanto, face a uma obra previamente desconhecida.
O Manuscrito apresenta uma visão da esgrima no Portugal do século XVII integrando elementos da Verdadeira Destreza e da ordinária ou vulgar. Descreve 64 feridas (tretas ou técnicas) com as suas respectivas contra-técnicas. Inclui algumas inéditas, como a Parafusada ou a Ferida do Duque de Alva, além de comentários e glosas. Emprega uma linguagem acessível mas são necessários conhecimentos básicos da Destreza.[:en]Anonymous work kept at the Livraria de Ajuda under the signature 49 -III- 6, bound in a single volume along with Lições de Marte (also in our catalog). Because this work was the first one in the binding, the set was mistakenly listed as a single text. We therefore face a previously unknown work.
The manuscript presents a vision of fencing in Portugal’s seventeenth century, integrating elements of Verdadeira Destreza and the common or «vulgar» tradition. 64 descriptions of feridas (techniques) with their respective counter-techniques. Some of these were previously unknown, such as the Parafusada or the Ferida do Duque de Alva. It also includes comments and glosses.
In order to make the text more accessible, we have translated the original portuguese source into english and spanish; added a glossary and a few reference resources. The language is accessible but a basic knowledge of Verdadeira Destreza is necessary, for which we advice the reader to build upon Mary and Puck Curtis’ essay From the Page to the Practice (available as part of In the Service of Mars, vol. II, or elsewhere alone), a brief introduction of Verdadeira Destreza for anglophones.[:es]Obra anónima listada en la Biblioteca de Ajuda con la entrada 49 -III- 6, encuadernada en un solo volumen junto con Lições de Marte (también en nuestro catálogo).

ClassicalDestreza das Armas
22,00 € Add to cartAbout a hundred years ago, a man named Sousa Viterbo –poet, archaeologist, historian, journalist– undertook the major task of writing a portuguese bibliography of fencing books, which he published under the title «A Esgrima em Portugal: Subsídios para a sua História».
While the text gathered all the sources he knew at the moment of publishing, Viterbo kept researching and unearthing new fencing treatises during his life. Many of these findings he noted down in small scraps of paper which he kept between the pages of his own copy of the «Subsídios». We have managed to locate this specific exemplar, and from the notes Viterbo’s left within its pages traced back the whereabouts of the sources not listed within the printed copy.
It is one of these hiterto unpublished manuscripts which we now present: «Destreza das Armas», a compilation of portuguese Destreza translations and original texts.

Written by Diogo Gomes de Figueiredo, author of the shorter «Memorial da Práctica do Montante», in 1628, the book develops along more than 300 pages notes on the Verdadeira Destreza approach to single rapier and rapier with dagger, buckler, rotella, armguard, gauntlet and cape, as well as presenting a view on twin rapier play; how men of different sizes should fence; theory and advice ond stepping and wounding; notes on how to distinguish true («Verdadeira») from false Destreza; particularly tricky questions regarding «Verdadeira Destreza» for the Masters to use in their examinations and how to carry these; how Masters should use a staff to separate the opponents in a fencing bout; what are the differences between live and blunt weapons in fencing… Everything seasoned with not a small gathering of sonnets and diverse poems.
The critical work carried by the AGEA Editora team for this book, comprising this time Manuel Valle Ortiz and Francisco Castro Nieto, adds another hundred pages to the volume: extensive annotations as both footnotes and endnotes to the text, introductory small essays on the linguistic, military and librarian aspects of the book, consolidated criteria regarding the transcription as well as an extensive bibliography citing the references the original author used.

Lessons of Mars
22,00 € Read moreThis very little-known work, kept at the Biblioteca da Ajuda under the shelfmark 49-III-6, is found in a volume together with the unpublished Manuscrito da Espada (also in our catalogue).
It is a re-interpretation of Pacheco’s posthumous work, Nueva Ciencia. Beyond completing it with missing information, such as the lost engravings not present in the published version of Pacheco’s book, the author took an eminently practical approach, didactic in purpose, dividing the book in «Lições» (Lessons), each preceded with an illustrative engraving, introducing progressively new concepts, from theoretical geometric elements to steps and footwork, to techniques such as the atalho or the movement of conclusion. This approach makes this book one of the best options when looking for a whole, comprehensive Destreza textbook.

GlossaUnderstanding Destreza
18,00 € Add to cartThis treatise is a delight in briefness, compared to the typical Destreza Specimen. As such, it will be a great introductory text for fencers interested in approaching the literature of the iberian school of swordplay.
For the more experienced theoretical Diestrxs, though, the text offers as well interesting material, since it was written by a man of arms risen in the heart of the orthodox, Pachequist interpretation of Destreza — and yet seems to deviate with Carrancist tones.
Long ignored by the Destreza scholars and nearly unknown by the public, it remained hidden but for an obscure XIX century edition. It is, therefore, with great delight that we bring it to you in a revised transcription of the original text presented side by side with a highly annotated translation into english.
The book includes, as well, cleaned-up versions of the original illustrations, including a spreader page.
