Francisco Lorenz de Rada (1660 – 1713) is the last great author — and perhaps the greatest — of the Verdadera Destreza, correcting and elaborating on the works of Carranza, Pacheco and Ettenhard. He was a soldier, a Knight of the Order of Santiago, Governor of Veracruz and, eventually, named Marquis of Torres de Rada. He studied Verdadera Destreza from the age of fourteen and was a fencing master and a prolific and exhaustive author. His magnum opus, Nobleza de la Espada<\/em> (1705), is a compendium in three books of more than 1,300 pages where he constructs, starting from mathematical and theological elements, a geometric and rationalist system for the use of the rapier.<\/p>\n

This work, Crisol<\/em>, is to a certain extent a precedent of Nobleza<\/em>, and also a previous stage in the theoretical and practical evolution of its author, in transit from Pachequism to his own expression. There are many parts that are reproduced almost verbatim in Nobleza<\/em>, but in Crisol<\/em> a more conventional scheme is followed, similar to other works of Destreza, in which the atajo<\/em> is described in a generic way (although distinctions are established between one side and the other) and then the Tretas Generales as operating procedures to practice Destreza, ending with a section dedicated to countering Italian fencing (which is notably increased in his great final work).<\/p>\n

This edition is of great value, since the only two copies of Crisol<\/em> that are preserved are incomplete. The text that we present here uses both sources to reconstruct the work as it must have existed.<\/p>\n

We have also carefully replicated and (in some cases, following Rada’s own instructions) corrected the 25 diagrams that accompany the text, which we present in our edition as fold-out plates.<\/p>\n

Overall, this title is a fundamental piece for any student of Verdadera Destreza, who will hardly find a more exhaustive or precise work in a modern edition.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":3303,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[78],"product_tag":[315,316,152,166],"class_list":["post-3302","product","type-product","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","product_cat-classica","product_tag-francisco-lorenz-de-rada","product_tag-rada","product_tag-verdadeira-destreza","product_tag-xvii","first","outofstock","taxable","shipping-taxable","purchasable","product-type-simple"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ageaeditora.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/3302","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ageaeditora.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ageaeditora.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/ageaeditora.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/3302\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3529,"href":"https:\/\/ageaeditora.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/3302\/revisions\/3529"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ageaeditora.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3303"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ageaeditora.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3302"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ageaeditora.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=3302"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ageaeditora.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=3302"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ageaeditora.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=3302"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
