Does anyone know if there is a full translation available of Pietro Monte?

Nope, there are two groups at a minimum working on it, one in France, the other in the US. We are sharing secondary information and other supporting data, somewhat.

It'll be a while.

Hi Steve,

I have heard that there is a forward grip knife/dagger section. Is this true?
How many plates are there? supporting text?
Cheers,
Stu.

We also have a Latin specialist and assistant working on it. Slow going. So far more questions than answers, but tantalizing.
Do NOT send me private messages via Forum messenger. I NEVER read them. To contact me please use direct email instead.

To John -- 3 groups
To Stu -- yes, no pictures, all text. Awful typset, real scraggly. Latin is humanist and learned, it has interesting republican usages as well. Steve

And Monte talks about both one handed and two handed sword use and some very strange and interesting subjects besides fighting!

Steve, keep kicking me to post you something.....
