Good to see!

Good to see a subforum for NoVa-Assalto here! Hopefully we'll see some good "Bolognese" discussion.

[A Froster]

Yes, I agree with Keith.

Any chance we can see some of the Bolognese style fencing posted here?

By the way the timeline of manuscripts you posted on your website is way cool http://nova-assalto.salvatorfabris.com/?p=33

At some point, I want to put video of various actions online. I don't think I have any video of fencing, but to really "see" what Bolognese looks like, the to-man set-plays are probably a better idea anyway (although video of both would be a goal at some point).

Glad you like that, I did that back in 2004 or so, but it languished on the OSH site (I don't know if anyone even noticed it). I need to update it as it is missing a few works (e.g. Anonimo Bolognese, Altoni, et al.). However, I need to locate the original Photoshop version of the image...

Love your web site! Great reading, your most recent article on the six preparations of the cut, is very informative.

It would be super helpful if there were a resource that listed the english translations of the Italian Terms. I know that is a special need of mine for current translation projects, and I bet a lot of other folks could use it too. Do you know of one?

I have one targeted on Bolognese and 15th century Italian swordsmanship in the works. I'll try to get a rudimentary version up very soon.

As and you shall receive: A Glossary for 16th Century Italian Swordsmanship. Actually, this is more of a typical glossary of 16th century Italian terminology, so it might not quite fit what you're looking for. That is, I tended to include terms that would stay in Italian instead of those that would be translated into English (i.e. technical terms such as the names of the cuts, etc.) Note that this is a work in progress.

Steven, thanks for this Glossary, it is extremely helpful to me, this is actually, essential for me, as i am continuing to translate German versions of the Italian Rappier arts. I find the 1619 Salvator Fabri printing by Isaak Elzevier, to be interesting. The dedication is to Prince Gustav of Sweden no less! That was the big time! and this work of Salvatoris Fabri is said by the author to have been translated into Hochdeutsch, or HighGerman. This thing could represent a whole new understanding for us about the translating of Italian into High German, german to english. I am interested to see how closely this parallels the original. It appears to, with the division of two books.
Do you know anything about it?

I don't know anything about it, sounds interesting though.

Thanks again for the Glossary. I am better able to visualize as i am translating, makes things easier.

If you have any specific questions about Italian terminology that isn't covered in a glossary, I'm happy to answer that, too. I ought to do a 17th century Italian fencing glossary, too, since that will cover terms that don't generally appear in the 16th century stuff (e.g. chiamata, cavazione, etc.)

Assuming there's only one German translation of Fabris from 1619, I have scans of it (as well as a different German version from 1626). The 1619 date is interesting because Hans Wilhelm Schoeffer's book, which seems to be a repetition/interpretation of Fabris, is dated just one year later.
