I must point out that Fiore could very well might have drawn this himself. In the Getty manuscript, Fiore writes "Of which all things I write and I will draw in this book...". While that could be him simply stating his authorship in another way and not his actual hand in the work, it is preceded by him saying that he knows how to read, write and draw, but he is not a perfect master in this art. I wager this is him being somewhat modest, as he is in many different parts. He is writing to important people, so he wants to remain humble.

It could be indeed, they are two rather valid point. Where to stand is definitely a personal choise. I stand open to both. :)

Fiore wrote one and let someone else copy it later?

Great video, beard is needed.

Very nice work you did here my friend. And I’m impressed with your rich and very well expressed English. As a combat shooting instructor, I usually feels confident as a peacock walking in the streets of New York, awaiting any troublemaker to try something illegal... but now that I’m thinking of it, I’m really depending on my sophisticated weapon to save me, and if it fails, I’m in a big shock and surprise. I need to learn and implement work with a blade, that almost never fail. Thank you very much!!

Looking back at this 7 years later I see the development over the years and how much better you've gotten. Good on you bro. Still an excellent video! 👌

This is very informative thank you! I just joined a club recently and saw what a Scalar had to go through to get his qualifications. This info will be needed.

I love fiore! thanks for the extra insight about who he was.

This video is awesome, I used to practice in a club that base all the techniques in his work so all I know about this is what he left for us and is cool to know about him.

its severus snape

Oh my, oh my! The knowledge! I love listening to these videos, so pleasing to the ear :)

I am glad you liked this video friend :)

congratulation Metatron. I aplaude to your excellent presentations. Fa piacere vedere giovani capaci portar avanti, seriamente, temi oplologici.

Raphael an longtime subcriber here. I allways come back to this video. Would love to see more on fencing techniques there are alot of systems out there you could cover

Just getting into HEMA and really enjoying Metatron's earlier stuff, I agree that there should be more views for this, I would love to see an updated video expanding on what he has learnt since this video.

How's your HEMA now? Still training after corona I hope! Lol

very interesting :) thanks for sharing it with us prof. ::)

Ti scrivo in italiano metatron! Sono da qualche anno nel mondo della rievocazione storica e il Flos Duellatorum é la più importante fonte di informazioni che solitamente viene usata. Un bellissimo video complimenti! 😉 p.s. è un vero peccato che sia così difficile trovare scuole di hema...

Great video, Congrats :D

Very interesting. I’m new to Fiore and I’m fascinating. I’m new Matt Easton student.

can you make a video about the contrast between Mushasi and Fiore? Great video man!

It was just a misunderstanding, they settled it in front of a beer.

Maybe some additions to the development of Sport fencing: The first change was the popularity of rapiers due to better steal and a change in military tactics. Swords where no longer a batle field weapon making leading to different weapons of war and for "civilian usage". The rapier is a civilian weapon. From there the next step was going away from a real self defense weapon to a ritualized dueling weapon (small sword), wich then became a sport.

1 handed sword were not main battlefield weapon because of they weakness against armor.The main weapon were polearm.The 1 handed sword was either a sidearm or a civilian weapon because of his size but also because of it's effectiveness against unarmored foes.

I follow Fiore's teachings in my HEMA school in Chicago.

He's my favourite swordmaster😋

Treaty instead of manual Interesting How do I find out why? Does Matt Easton have a video on this?

Master of weapons sounds cool.

Any comment about the German masters? I have digital copy of Talhoffer. It is an amzing book, but many images are somehow odd, for instance swords with spiked pommels.

I will look into many other manuscripts and review them so I will also have a look at the German master eventually :) Thanks

Talhoffer is seen by many as cryptic and useless. For longsword google Wiktenauer and look for Sigmund Schining ein Ringeck or Pseudo-Peter von Danzig. You will find german stuff on everything on Wiktenauer

edi It is belived that Talhofer intentionally wrote in a way that you need extra explanation (by him) to understand the techniques and tricks he shows. His job was it to fight and to teach so the books where advertisement and a study guide but not meant to work by them selfs.

What was the animal above man's head? Never heard about linx, links, lincs... I can't even get the spelling so that I could find that word in a dictionary.

Іван Батюкевич Is the linx (english, or lince (in spanish). You know a small savage cat, with pointy ears and short tail.

Out of curiosity, is this you translating or is it the english translation on Wiktenaur? xD

Ahhh ecco, almeno adesso si sa di dove sei. Ma tutto questo inglese esibito ed usato... non è meglio esportare l'italiano? Se no, studiamo l'antica Roma ma non capiamo niente di come diventarono grandi se assumiamo in tutto usi, costumi e lingua dei barbari.
