New Book - The Knightly Art of Battle (Fiore), Ken Mondschein
« on: 2011-09-29, 13:24:28 »
Cross-post from AA; this is one of four manuscripts attributed to Fiore de Liberi.  Good sales of this book are critical to the medieval martial arts community, since the Getty’s decision to proceed with an edition of all four of Fiore dei Liberi’s manuscripts (by Ken Mondschein and Tom Leoni with Greg Mele) will be based on how many copies are moved. Please support the cause!

Thanks for posting this. They mentioned this at WMAW as well, and I promptly forgot. I think I'll go order a copy.

Ken Mondschein got his copy, so the others should be shortly behind... I've been waiting a while for this one.

Heh, apparently I ordered this one some time ago. Thankfully they detected the duplicate order.
