Florius de Arte Luctandi ("The Flower of Battle", MS Latin 11269) is an Italian fencing manual translated from a treatise authored by Fiore de'i Liberi and probably created in the 1420s.[1] The original currently rests in the holdings of the Bibliothèque Nationale de France in Paris, France. Any preface it once possessed is missing from the current form of the manuscript, and its current title was added much later in a 17th century hand. It consists of 44 folios with two pairings per page, and is the only copy of Fiore's treatise whose illustrations are fully painted. Unlike the other versions of his work, this manuscript is written entirely in Latin; its descriptions are cast in couplets and quatrains that closely resemble those of the Pisani Dossi MS. This manuscript is generally referred to as either the Florius or the Paris.
Provenance
The known provenance of the MS Latin 11269 is:[2]
- Written in the early 15th century, probably after the completion of Flos Duellatorum in 1409.
