Angelo's School of Fencing<\/p>\n<\/div>\n


<\/p>\n

\nThe School of Fencing<\/a>\"\"
\nWith a General Explanation of the Principal Attitudes and Positions Peculiar to the Art
\nby Domenico Angelo
\nEdited and Presented by Jared Kirby
\nNotes by Maestro Jeannette Acosta-Martinez\n<\/div>\n

Angelo’s legacy is one of the greatest in the history of fencing. He started a lineage of fencing-teachers in England that would continue for ever a century. L’Ecole des armes<\/em> became a resource for swordsmen throughout all of Europe. Its concise and well-presented manner made it the most popular treatise on fencing for many years. It is quite rare for any fencing book to be reproduced four times in one decade as well as in two countries, and the longevity of Angelo’s treatise is matched by very few others. It remains an invaluable resource in the history of fencing.
