| + | ====== Early Modern Rapier ====== | ||
| + | |||
| + | [[lef-c17-training|LongEdge Fencing training materials]] for rapier and smallsword are constantly under development. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ===== Sources ===== | ||

| + | The sources which fall within the area of interest of LongEdge Fencing can be found on the [[lep_sources|List of Source Texts]] page, which includes summaries and some analysis/ | ||
| + | |||
| + | The main texts for the current project, handling the rapier alone, are listed here for convenience. These pages contain summaries of the basic actions and tactical advice in each text. | ||

| + | * [[cavalcabo_start|Gerolamo (Heironyme) Cavalcabo]] | ||
| + | * [[paternoster_start|Patenostrier of Rome]] | ||
| + | * [[heredia_start|Pedro de Heredia]] (who copies large sections of both and extends on them) | ||
| + | * [[dancie_start|François Dancie]] | ||
| + | |||
| + | Other sources of particular interest include: | ||
| + | |||
| + | * [[lep_agrippa_summary|Camillo Agrippa]] | ||
| + | * Camillo Palladini -- largely a repetition and commentary on Agrippa | ||
| + | * [[lep_besnard_summary|Charles Besnard]] -- a text describing the use of transitional rapier/ | ||
| + | |||
| + | {{ : | ||
| + | |||
| + | 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. | ||

| + | ===== Research Foci ===== | ||
| + | |||
| + | We're still in the analysing and synthesising stage of researching these texts. The process is three-fold: | ||
| + | |||
| + | - Understand each text in itself | ||
| + | - Understand the similarities between the texts | ||
| + | - Understand the differences between the texts | ||
| + | | ||
| + | Small essays on small topics: | ||
| + | |||
| + | * [[essay_quarter| The meaning of //quarter// ]] -- just a strike in //quarte//, a //volte//, or something else? | ||
| + | |||
| + | Current topics causing continual puzzlement: | ||
| + | |||
| + | * The "long lunge" versus the "short lunge" | ||

| + | The high-level strategy seems to be do something/ | ||
