FABRIS (Salvatore). Sienza e pratica d'arme... divisa un dui - Lot 152
FABRIS (Salvatore). Sienza e pratica d'arme... divisa un dui libri. Copenhagen, Henrico Waltkirch, 1606. In folio of [6]-256 (out of 254)-[3]-1bl. pages, ivory soft vellum, modern folder and case (period binding). ORIGINAL EDITION of this book "very difficult to find" (Brunet II, 1155). It is a major book for those interested in fencing. The 190 LARGE ENGRAVINGS ON COPPER by Halbeeck that adorn it are perfect in truth; the duelists, on a gridded pavement to show the amplitude of the movements, are naked and fight with one or two weapons, sometimes with a large cloth. The last part shows how to face an unarmed opponent armed with a dagger. In addition, the work is illustrated with a figure of a man with the names of the different parts of his body, 2 engraved titles and the arms of Christian IV, king of Denmark. One leaf detached, ex. partly disbound, the 2 portraits are missing, one of them serving as title for the second part. Provenance : Ed. Fries (ex-libris).
