About This Item
London,: s.e., 1787.. Album oblungo (mm. 136x220), mz. pelle mod. con ang. (risg. rifatti), pp. VIII,105,(9 di indice), con 47 tavole in 44 fogli, inc. in rame e fuori testo. Vi sono illustrate 47 classiche posizioni di scherma (per lo più due figure per tavola). "Edizione originale inglese", dedicata a their Royal Highnesses the Duke of Gloucester and Prince Henry-Frederic. Quanto alla scienza schermistica l'Autore, benchè italiano, si è attenuto in parte ai principi della Scuola francese, che aveva studiato lungamente a Parigi (Gelli). Cfr. Cat. Collect. ouvrages sur l'escrime de Jacopo Gelli, n. 26: Traduction recherchée de ce traité assez rare et apprécié. Elle est ornée de 47 planches fort belles, très finement gravées sur cuivre - Thimm Bibl. of fencing & duelling, pp. 9/10, cita le varie ediz. in francese (a partire dalla prima del 1763) e in inglese, e dell'A. precisa: Domenico Angelo Malevolti Tremamondo was the son of a very wealthy Italian merchant, and was born at Leghorn in 1716. His English friends persuaded him to abandon this too outlandish patronymic, and adopt the single name of "Angelo". Con qualche fiorit. o ingiallitura, ma certamente un buon esemplare; con grande ex libris di Jacopo Gelli.
