Francisco Lorenz de Rada (1660 \u2013 1713) es el \u00faltimo gran autor \u2014 y tal vez el mayor \u2014 de la Verdadera Destreza, corrigiendo y elaborando sobre los trabajos de Carranza, Pacheco y Ettenhard. Fue militar, Caballero de la Orden de Santiago, Gobernador de Veracruz y, eventualmente, nombrado Marqu\u00e9s de las Torres de Rada. Estudi\u00f3 la Verdadera Destreza desde los catorce a\u00f1os y fue maestro de esgrima y un autor prol\u00edfico y exhaustivo. Su opera magna, \u00abNobleza de la Espada\u00bb (1705), es un compendio en tres libros de m\u00e1s de 1300 p\u00e1ginas donde construye, partiendo de elementos matem\u00e1ticos y teol\u00f3gicos, un sistema geom\u00e9trico y racionalista para el uso de la espada ropera. <\/p>\n
Esta obra, Crisol, es en cierta medida un precedente de Nobleza, y tambi\u00e9n un estadio previo en la evoluci\u00f3n te\u00f3rica y pr\u00e1ctica de su autor, en tr\u00e1nsito desde el pachequismo a su propia expresi\u00f3n. Hay muchas partes que se encuentran reproducidas casi literalmente en Nobleza, pero en Crisol se sigue un esquema m\u00e1s convencional y similar a otras obras de Destreza en que se describe el atajo de una forma gen\u00e9rica (aunque se establecen distinciones entre un lado y otro) y a continuaci\u00f3n las tretas generales como procedimientos operativos para practicar la Destreza, terminando con una secci\u00f3n dedicada a contrarrestar la esgrima italiana (que se incrementa notablemente en su gran obra final). <\/p>\n
Esta edici\u00f3n tiene gran valor, ya que los dos \u00fanicos ejemplares del Crisol que se conservan est\u00e1n incompletos. El texto que presentamos se trata utiliza ambas fuentes para reconstituir la obra como debi\u00f3 existir. <\/p>\n
Hemos tambi\u00e9n replicado de forma cuidadosa y (en alg\u00fan caso, siguiendo las indicaciones del propio Rada) corregido los 25 diagramas que acompa\u00f1an al texto, que presentamos en nuestra edici\u00f3n como l\u00e1minas desplegables.<\/p>\n
En conjunto, esta obra es una pieza fundamental para cualquier estudioso de la Verdadera Destreza, que dif\u00edcilmente encontrar\u00e1 un trabajo mas exhaustivo o preciso en una edici\u00f3n moderna.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":5659,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"default","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}}},"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[361],"product_tag":[472,473,447,446],"class_list":["post-5658","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","desktop-align-left","tablet-align-left","mobile-align-left","first","outofstock","taxable","shipping-taxable","purchasable","product-type-simple"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ageaeditora.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/5658","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ageaeditora.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ageaeditora.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ageaeditora.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5658"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ageaeditora.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5659"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ageaeditora.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5658"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ageaeditora.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=5658"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ageaeditora.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=5658"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ageaeditora.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=5658"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
