This is a book review of "The Knightly Art of Battle" by Ken Mondschein, from the Getty Museum.
While this is not a full translation or facsimile of the Fiore manuscript held by the Getty Museum in LA, this is a wonderful introduction to the manuscript for non-Fiorists and Fiorists alike. The introduction is clear and concise, as are the brief introductions to each section.
The highlight (for me) were the high-res images included in the book. While it doesn't include the whole manuscript, most of the "important" images are: the segno, all the poste, and a hand full of plays.
For so cheap a price, this book really is a must-own for any Western Martial Artist.
