The correct signature of this manuscript is 14/10, but has been rendered 14.10 in a few places due to technical restrictions.
Discorso di Camillo Palladini Bolognese sopra l'arte della scherma come l'arte della scherma è necessaria à chi si diletta d'arme ("Discourse by Camillo Palladini of Bologna on the art of fencing, as the art of fencing is necessary to whoever is delighted by arms"; MS 14/10) is an Italian fencing manual created by Camillo Palladini in ca. 1600.[citation needed] The original currently rests in the Howard de Walden Library of the Wallace Collection in London, United Kingdom. Palladini's work seems to be a direct response to the treatise of Camillo Agrippa published in 1553, correcting what he saw as shortcomings and errors in Agrippa's system but preserving other parts almost verbatim.
