A rare first edition of Domenico Angelo’s School of Fencing
Considered one of the greatest fencing masters of the 18th Century, Domenico Angelo’s school became one of the premiere places in London to study fencing, horsemanship, and gentlemanly deportment.
In this episode of Up in Arms, our Librarian Stuart Ivinson showcases a rare first edition of one of Domenico Angelo’s most famous works, ’The School of Fencing’, published 1765.
Recognised as a clear, concise and useful guide at the time, today it is viewed as one of the first works on modern fencing and is a treasure within the Royal Armouries collection.
A colour facsimile of this first edition, unique markings and all, is now available on our online shop. Get your copy here:
