The Italian Rapier has held a special place in the history of European swordsmanship. Famous for generations after his death, Salvatore Fabris became the personal fencing master to the equally famous King Christianus of Denmark. Towards the end of his career, and at the king's request, the great master set down the sum of his art in clear in a clear, concise manual of footwork, guards, attacks, defenses, and conterattacks with the rapier, used alone or with a dagger or cloak. A landmark work brought to English for the very first time, Tomasso Leoni offers a complete translation that accompanies the 200 17th century engravings.

" Pabris divides his work into two books and six parts. The first book treats thoroughly the question of broad principles and of the more ' academic ' actions with the rapier, alone or accompanied with dagger or cloak ; it discusses in a very exhaustive manner the relative value of the past and
present methods.
The second book is one ' wherein is demonstrated certain
rules with which it will be possible to strike the enemy from the moment the sword is drawn, without halting or waiting any time, principles which have never been treated by any master or writer.' "—Castle's " Schools and
Masters of Pence."]
