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It is one of these hiterto unpublished manuscripts which we now present: «Destreza das Armas», a compilation of portuguese Destreza translations and original texts.

Oplosophia e Verdadeira Destreza das Armas
25,00 € Read more. .
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.

ClassicalCompendio y filosofía y Destreza de las armas reducido a su simplicidad
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.

ClassicalArte de Esgrima (Portugese)
25,00 € Add to cartThis is the modern Portuguese edition of Domingos Luís Godinho’s Arte de Esgrima, a long-time out of stock classic from the AGEA editora fund that urgently needed to be revised and re-edited.
The Portuguese-language update was carried out by Filipe Martins, from the Academia de Esgrima Histórica, with help from Luís França. Between both, they prepared a modern and accessible version for easy reading, which is preceded by contextualizing antetexts and essays such as the legislation relating to swords in contemporary Portugal, or the role of fencing as an art in the cultural framework of the time.
In 1599, during the period when the Portuguese crown was united to the crowns of Castile and Aragon, a Portuguese master called Domingo Luis Godinho wrote a manuscript in Spanish entitled Arte de Esgrima (The Art of Fencing). The book was never published, and almost nothing is known about its author’s life beyond him being born in Santarém. However, the text is of utmost relevance in the study of Iberian schools of fencing, since it is the single complete treatise discovered so far describing the old style, the one to be displaced by the apogee of Verdadeira Destreza.
The work, originally written in 137 folios that we present as in 230 pages in this current edition, includes instructions for the single sword, sword and rotella, sword and buckler, twin swords, sword and dagger, sword and cape, plus the longest known text on the use of the iberian montante.
