ler totalmente Burton On the Sword: Illustrated Edition

Sir Richard Francis Burton studied the art of swordsmanship around the world, from the fencing schools of England and France to Egypt, India, and more. This collection presents his best writing on the "oldest, the most universal, the most varied of weapons, the only one which has lived through all time": the sword.

It begins with a meditation on the nature of swordsmanship and its storied role in human history, drawn from Burton's expansive Book of the Sword. Then, A New System of Sword Exercise for Infantry covers a full system of instruction for military trainees, with diagrams, illustrations, and drills for the modern reconstructionist. Once readers have mastered Burton's une-deux and manchette, The Sentiment of the Sword dives into the highest levels of fencing and martial thought, in the form of a lively "country-house dialogue."

This work is illustrated in full color, and makes an excellent addition to the bookshelf of any HEMA enthusiast or historian of combat.
