xii, 384pp, illustrated in colour and black and white throughout. Illustrated endpapers. In red cloth boards with gilt titles on spine (cloth very gently indented at spine ends). Internally neat, clean, bright and tight. In its original dust jacket (bumped along upper edge, slightly scuffed on upper corners). Mounted encounters by fully armoured knights, locked into mortal hand-to-hand combat, wrestling in tavern brawls, stabbings in alleys and deceits and brutalities, duels and balletic homicides - there were the martial arts of Renaissance Europe, which are explored and examined in this marvellously illustrated volume. .
