Lessons of Mars
22,00 €
This 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little-known work, kept at the Biblioteca da Ajuda under the shelfmark 49-III-6, is found in a volume together with the unpublished Manuscrito da Espada (also in our catalogue).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. In addition to completing missing information (such as the engravings lost in the publication of that other text), the author sought a practical and eminently didactic approach, dividing the text into «Lessons», each preceded by an illustrative engraving and constructively introducing new concepts, from basic theoretical geometric elements to atalhos and conclusions, including footwork. This approach makes this book one of the most interesting choices when approaching the study of Verdadeira Destreza.
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.

Destreza 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It is one of these hiterto unpublished manuscripts which we now present: «Destreza das Armas», a compilation of portuguese Destreza translations and original texts.

A Compendium of the Philosophy and Skill of Weapons, Reduced to Its Simplest Form
35,00 € Add to cartIt is with great joy that we present this work, following a long process of research and editing. The history of this work deserves its own account, given how laborious and intricate it was—even without clarifying its whereabouts for a good number of years. The earliest evidence we have of this work consists of some tracings on tracing paper that are currently in the Corble Collection at the University of Leuven Library. These drawings reproduce the illustrations exclusively. We do not know when or why they were made, although we can surmise, based on the watermarks on the paper, that it was during the late 19th or early 20th century; and we can assume that their purpose was to showcase the book’s contents, perhaps as a form of commercial promotion, or out of the interest of some enthusiast. When we were finally able to access the original, thanks to Roberto Gotti’s invaluable generosity, we still did not know the whereabouts of this work until it was acquired by the Botticino Museum of Martial Arts. The importance of this work is also noteworthy: the abundance and detail of the illustrations are uncommon in texts on fencing; the section devoted to commenting on common misconceptions is also significant, not to mention the influences of other masters (Pacheco and Thibault). In short, this is a text from a period when Pacheco’s dominance was already well established, but with some indications that it was not a monolithic bloc, as some opinions did not fully align with official doctrines.
