This review is from: Schools and Masters of Fence from the Middle Ages to the Eighteenth Century (Hardcover)

If you can find a copy of this book -- reprinted or otherwise -- buy it. It's the grand daddy of fencing histories. It contains a wealth of information covering fencing's long and bloody development from the fifteenth century to the nineteenth (when the book was written). Most fencing reference works quote THE SCHOOLS AND MASTERS OF FENCE liberally. It is one of my favorite books
