Description: First translation into English of a wide-ranging military treatise from the late middle ages.
Brief description: JEFFREY L. FORGENG is curator of Arms and Armor and Medieval Art at the Worcester Art Museum, and Adjunct Professor of History at Worcester Polytechnic Institute.
Review Quotes: This is a challenging text for any reader but it is also hugely rewarding and Forgeng's cleanly rendered translation of an overlooked and contextually isolated work is a meaningful contribution to the history of martial pedagogy, culture, and the history of late-medieval and early-modern training and practice in arms. It is a joy to see it available from Boydell.--Mark Geldof "De Re Militari"
