== Translation Notes ==

The following is a translation of Books I and II (of three) of {{dec|u|''Dell’Arte di Scrimia''}} by Giovanni dall’Agocchie (1572). 

All annotation is in boldface and bracketed as follows: 

# Page numbers of the original are given in square brackets, e.g. [36recto] indicates the approximate beginning of page 36 recto. 
# Marginalia are presented in wavy brackets, e.g. {Why fencing is the foundation of the military art.}, likewise in approximately their original placements (albeit in the body of the translation as opposed to in the margins). 
# My own comments are in angular brackets, e.g. <i.e. your sword’s—“di essa”>. These are provided chiefly in order to clarify or specify something that was not made explicit in its particular instance or context but was nonetheless unambiguous owing to original grammatical inflection, earlier reference, or other context; or to indicate an error or inconsistency in the layout or didactic structure of the original (e.g. when a provocation is described, then its counter is given while misstating the nature of the original provocation). I have tried to be conservative with respect to this latter class of annotation. 

I would like to thank my friend the esteemed Gordon Frye for his explanation of various technical elements of the joust and its equipment. Any errors on this topic are doubtlessly due to misconstrual on my part. 

Finally I direct the reader’s attention to the copyright statement below. I would like to clarify that research and study constitute fair use, and I invite anyone to reproduce and use the current text, provided that a) this page remains attached to it, and b) that it not be reproduced in part or whole, by itself or as part of a larger work, for sale or otherwise for financial gain without my prior written consent. 

''Note: The page numbers mentioned in (1) have been removed since they are present in the transcription column. The marginalia mentioned in (2) are rendered in ''italics'' in this article. The comments mentioned in (3) have been converted into footnotes. ~Wiktenauer''
