Vividly illustrated throughout, each technique is rendered in detail that even modern practitioners will be able to easily follow.  This book will appeal to enthusiasts of historical European martial arts, re-enactors, jousters, as well as art historians - particularly those with an interest in the armour and clothing of the 16th century. Comprehensive in its scope, it is a striking and fascinating insight into the ancient art of swordplay.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49740970787089,"sku":"NGR9781784386566","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1784386561.jpg?v=1751025689"},{"product_id":"durer-s-fight-book-book-dierk-hagedorn-9781784387037","title":"Durer's Fight Book","description":"Albrecht Durer is probably the most famous German artist of the Renaissance, if not of all time. His works are world-famous and he was a master in numerous artistic disciplines such as woodcut, copperplate engraving, drawing and painting.  What is less well known is that he was interested in weapons and fencing throughout his life. He produced several woodcuts for a tournament book by Emperor Maximilian I, but he devoted himself much more thoroughly to the subject of duels in his own extensive fencing manuscript.  Durer's fight book stands out from the mass of illustrated fencing manuscripts because of its outstanding quality. In well over 100 elaborate drawings, the master uniquely depicts dynamic pairs of fighters practising contemporary combat techniques, such as wrestling or sword and dagger fighting.  Since its creation more than 500 years ago, the fight book has never been published in its entirety. This edition offers the complete contents of the manuscript for the very first time: All illustrations are reproduced in colour and the complete text is presented in a letter-perfect transcription as well as a translation into modern English.  Albrecht Durer's fight book offers a unique, new look at Durer the artist and Durer the fighter.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49742202896657,"sku":"NGR9781784387037","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51882756374801,"sku":"CIN1784387037G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1784387037.jpg?v=1751153982"},{"product_id":"peter-von-danzig-fight-book-book-dierk-hagedorn-9781937439538","title":"The Peter von Danzig Fight Book","description":"Noted medieval combat authorities Dierk Hagedorn and Christian Henry Tobler join forces to present a transcription, translation and analysis of the Peter von Danzig Fight Book, one of the finest manuscripts of the 15th century devoted to the fencing tradition of German grandmaster Johannes Liechtenauer.
