The Compendio y Philosophia y Dztreza de las Armas (MS R4-B274) is a 20th century tracing of a Spanish fencing manual written by Octavio Ferrara in 1625.[1] It currently rests in the Corble Collection of the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven in Leuven, Belgium. The modern copy bears the title "Copy M.S.S. Early Spanish Fencing. 1625."[2] This manuscript is significant because it seems to document the so-called Esgrima Común, the older school of fencing in Spain whose tradition and documentation were eradicated with the advent of la Verdadera Destreza.
