After fifty years of training Italy&#8217;s elite, he put his art to paper and created the Flower of Battle. The Flower of Battle covers the use of the dagger, sword, spear, axe as well as fighting in armor, on horseback, and other odds and ends.<\/p>\n<p class=\"preFade fadeIn\">MS M 383, owned by the Morgan Library and Museum, differs from the other Italian versions by beginning with fighting on horseback and moving to foot combat with progressively smaller weapons. This edition includes high-resolution scans alongside a new transcription and translation by Michael Chidester, who also wrote a codicological analysis and an overview of dueling at the turn of the 15th century to help contextualize the treatise.<\/p>\n<p class=\"preFade fadeIn\">An appendix includes a paper by Jay Leccese that analyzes the artwork and explores connections to others of Fiore&#8217;s manuscripts.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"block-yui_3_17_2_1_1646257041820_34241\" class=\"sqs-block html-block sqs-block-html\" data-block-type=\"2\" data-border-radii=\"{&quot;topLeft&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;value&quot;:0.0},&quot;topRight&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;value&quot;:0.0},&quot;bottomLeft&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;value&quot;:0.0},&quot;bottomRight&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;value&quot;:0.0}}\">\n<div class=\"sqs-block-content\">\n<div class=\"sqs-html-content\">\n<p class=\"preFade fadeIn\"><strong>Version:<\/strong> 1st edition (April 2021)<br \/>\n<strong>Length:<\/strong> 162 pages<br \/>\n<strong>Softcover (perfect-bound)<br \/>\n<\/strong><strong>Price:<\/strong> 44;-<br \/>\n<strong>ISBN:<\/strong> 978-1-953683-14-4<br \/>\n<strong>Dimensions :<\/strong> 8 \u00bd \u00d7 11 \u00d7 \u215c in.; 1 \u215b lbs.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>HEMA by Fiore dei Liberi<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":48101,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[331],"product_tag":[4003,3754,3940,3056,3002,5563,6616,6626,3822,6617,6618,2842,2830,2980,2971,6619,6412],"class_list":{"0":"post-48103","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-hema-en","7":"product_tag-axe","8":"product_tag-boek-over-hema-en","9":"product_tag-dagger-en-2","10":"product_tag-dagger-en","11":"product_tag-fencing-en-2","12":"product_tag-fencing-manual-en","13":"product_tag-fiore-dei-liberi-en","14":"product_tag-flower-of-battle-en","15":"product_tag-harnas-en","16":"product_tag-in-armor-en","17":"product_tag-on-horseback-en","18":"product_tag-spear-en","19":"product_tag-speer-en","20":"product_tag-sword-en","21":"product_tag-sword-en-4","22":"product_tag-te-paard-en","23":"product_tag-treatise-en","25":"first","26":"outofstock","27":"taxable","28":"shipping-taxable","29":"purchasable","30":"product-type-simple"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
