 A Gentleman s Guide to Duelling is a beautifully illustrated, lyrical guide to duelling etiquette in Elizabethan England. Its author, Vincentio Saviolo, was one of the great Italian fencing masters and a contemporary of William Shakespeare. In the 1590s, both Saviolo and Shakespeare were based in London s Blackfriars; Shakespeare s use of Italian fencing terminology in Romeo & Juliet is no surprise as it was written shortly after Saviolo s book was published. Originally published under the title Of Honour and Honourable Quarrels Saviolo s guide is devoted to the art of settling a duel in a gentlemanly manner. It was written in a time when honour, virtue and codes of behaviour were of grave importance; and the rapier was seen as ideally suited to settling the disputes of a gentleman. In this new edition, fencing expert Jared Kirby has updated the Elizabethan language in order to make it more accessible to today s reader and has added explanatory annotations. Preceding the guide is the most comprehensive biography on Saviolo ever compiled: many misconceptions about his life have been spread for hundreds of years and Kirby has gone back to the primary source material to finally uncover the truth.
