February, 2005: The School of Fencing by Domenico Angelo is once again available in reprint. Maestro Jeannette Acosta-Martinez has added over a hundred annotations and two appendixes that help clarify this wonderful text for the modern reader. Angelo's text is very detailed, however, the author does leave out important information such as the way to grip the weapon. Maestro Acosta-Martinez has added illustrations to demonstrate the two most common forms of gripping the small sword. For information on purchasing this edition see this page.
