This title is one of only two works listed in Censimento 16 with the imprint of Antonio Pinargenti. According to Dennis E. Rhodes (Silent printers: anonymous printing at Venice in the sixteenth century, London: British Library, 1995), Pinargenti was not a printer, and the work was actually printed by Bolognino Zaltieri. Camillo Agrippa (1520-1595) was an engineer, architect, and mathematician, who was also an accomplished fencer. He is best known for his treatise on fencing, which became a standard work across Europe. He uses Euclidean geometry to explain the movements of the human body, its action, and reaction in time and space. This work was first published in 1553, and the illustrations are believed to be by Stradanus (Jan van der Straet, 1525-1605), although they have also been ascribed to Michelangelo. They were re-engraved for this edition by Giulio Fontana, as stated in the preface, because the original plates had become too worn.
