The earliest known personal combat treatise, the sophisticated swordsmanship of Royal Armouries MS I.33 has long befuddled generations of fencing historians. For the first time, in partnership with the British Royal Armouries, this beautiful work will be available in a quality hardbound, full color facsimile translation.

The Chivalry Bookshelf is proud to offer this incredible work. Dr. Forgeng, Curator for Arms and Armor at the Higgins Armory Museum in Worchester, MA., brings his years of philological experience and his close contact with the Historical Martial Arts community to bear with a translation that is both highly accurate and accessible.

This work promises to become one of the key works and will be a necessary item on the shelf of any aspiring medieval swordsman.
