Fight Books in Context: Martial and University Cultures at the Edge of Modernity
From Schools to Swords: An Introduction
Abstract
What is the cultural background of the masters of arms? What is the meaning of the scientific and philosophical references scattered in the fight books corpus? To what extent does the university culture permeate the whole society and more specifically martial culture? These are the leading questions of the present issue.
