Publication History
Regole di moltio cavagliereschi essercitii was published in Parma, Italy in 1587 by Erasmo Viotto. It is unusual in that the illustrations seem to have been not included in the base book, but rather drawn in by artists for an additional fee per illustration. For this reason, no two copies of the book have the same artwork or the same number of illustrations

Most of these illustrations come from the copy held by the Bibliothèque nationale de France, but to demonstrate the diversity of illustrations, examples from the copy held by the Biblioteca Universitaria di Bologna (which only has sixteen illustrations) have been included where they differ noticeably.
