Immerse Yourself in Knightly Combat
Step back into the world of the late 1400s with Philippo Vadi's De Arte Gladiatoria Dimicandi: the Art of Sword Fighting in Earnest. This extraordinary audiobook, read in its original Italian by the captivating Eleonora Rebecchi, brings Vadiโs work to life.
Dedicated to Guido da Montefeltro, Duke of Urbino, Vadi's work includes 16 chapters on longsword fencing theory, followed by 25 longsword plays, and shorter sections on armoured combat with the lance and the sword, and a section on the dagger.
Whether you are a historian, martial artist, or simply a lover of medieval lore, De Arte Gladiatoria Dimicandi offers a unique auditory journey into the world of chivalric combat.
Please note, this audiobook contains just Vadiโs words, in their original language. For a translated version, read in English by Guy Windsor, see De Arte Gladiatoria Dimicandi (English version). For a full interpretation of those words, see The Art of Sword Fighting in Earnest by Guy Windsor.
