About this product
Product Information
First translation into English of a wide-ranging military treatise from the late middle ages.Pietro Monte's Collectanea is a wide-ranging treatise on the arts of knighthood, focusing on martial arts, athletics, arms and armour, and military practice, but touching on subjects as diverse as diet, zoology and the design of life preservers. Monte, a courtier, soldier and scholar who won the respect of men like Leonardo da Vinci and Baldesar Castiglione, wrote the work in Spanish in the late 1400s, and later produced an expanded Latin translation. The Latin version, published in Milan in 1509, forms the basis of this translation. Monte describes the techniques of personal combat with various weapons, including the two-handed and one-handed sword, pollaxe, and dagger, as well as wrestling, armored and mounted combat. He also documents the athletic activities used by knights to hone their physical abilities: running, jumping, throwing, and vaulting. Finally, the Collectanea is the solemedieval text to provide extensive discussion of the design of arms and armour. This translation includes an illustrated introduction to Monte and his technical subject-matter, as well as a translation of Book 5 of Monte's De Dignoscendis Hominibus (1492), which overlaps much of the technical content of the Collectanea.

Reviews
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.

The book was in decent condition, but there were some damages due to poor packaging. The shipping of this company is absolutely abysmal. I ordered the item on April 29th and received it on May 30th. Absolutely unacceptable. They marked it shipped early on and then let it sit there in their warehouse without actually taking it to the post.
This negative review is absolutely deserved. Do better.
