Compendio de los fundamentos de la verdadera destreza y filosofia de las armas
A 1675 Spanish fencing treatise printed in Madrid by Antonio de Zafra, written by Francisco Antonio de Ettenhard, and aimed at swordsmen learning the principles of true fencing skill. Its engraved plates are framed, geometric diagrams showing two fencers in set positions with circles, arcs and angle lines, with cartouche titles below each picture. A designer could borrow the symmetrical framing, the architectural arches and columns, and the ornamental scroll cartouches for period-style layouts.
