| - | Andre Des Bordes provides a cute aside to the whole project as he largely plagiarised Palladini almost word for word. In addition, he's the only known fencing master to be executed for witchcraft. We play a dangerous game. | ||

| - | In addition, there is a lot of useful info in later texts. In particular, Jean de Brye's 1721 [[jeanDeBrye_start|Art of Fencing Reduced to a Methodical Summary]] provides good information about how to think about coaching this material. | ||
