Librorio Vendrell gives us a wonderful glimpse into the world of Spanish saber fencing in the second half of 19th century. This manual is just one of several from the time that look to refine the use of the saber with the duel specifically in mind. Vendrell provides us with a complete system but what really makes this translation valuable for the student of Historical European Martial Arts is that Vendrell gives us a lot of the reasonings behind his preference for what he does in addition to the numerous tidbits of information throughout the work concerning how to go about fighting a duel with sabers. Vendrell seeks to simplify the use of the saber and although he recognizes that other saber manuals more related to Destreza do have valuable information, his goal here is the duel of his time and the weapon of his time. This book is ideal for anyone looking to read into the mind of how a duelist thinks. This book comes with all the images from the orginal work.
