'''MSS Ravenna M-345''' & '''346''' is an anonymous [[nationality::Italian]] [[fencing manual]] of the Bolognese tradition, probably written at the beginning of the 16th century.{{cn}} The original currently rests in the holdings of the [[Biblioteca Nazionale Centrale di Roma]] in Rome, Italy. This manuscript is unique in that apart from the standard teachings of later Bolognese sources, it also treats the use of Medieval weapons and armor. Cesari and Rubboli speculate that it was written by [[Guido Antonio di Luca]], the master who taught both [[Antonio Manciolino]] and [[Achille Marozzo]], but this ascription has yet to receive popular support.{{cn}}

Having driven your sword's true edge into his weapon, you should push it far over to his right, beating it to the floor on that side. You should then turn your left leg so that it straddles your right,* then without hesitation pass forward with your right to give him a ''roverso'' to the face, or thrust to the chest. As before having parried your enemy's attack, you can grab the pole of his weapon by raising your left hand, not releasing it for any reason.

You can set yourself against your enemy in ''coda lunga e stretta'' with your left foot forward, keeping your glove hand together with your sword hand, making sure that your right foot pushes your left forward from this position. Do not attempt an attack but keep your eye fixed on the enemy's sword hand. When he attempts any type of blow to your upper body, in whichever manner he pleases, be they ''stoccate'', ''imbroccate'', overhand, underhand, or attacks of any other type, you should parry with your sword in ''guardia di testa'', and with gracious dexterity grab his sword from the inside with your gauntlet hand.

| The contrary of this would be that while your opponent gives the semblance of a thrust, you show that you wish to parry it with the true edge of your sword. As he passes to wound you with the said thrust, grabbing his sword with his gauntlet hand to give it more force, you should likewise grab your sword with your gauntlet hand, and push his sword to the outside, to your right. Having done this you can push a thrust into his face.

MSS Ravenna M-345 and 346 are an anonymous Italian fencing manual of the Bolognese tradition, probably written at the beginning of the 16th century.[citation needed] The original currently rests in the holdings of the Biblioteca Nazionale Centrale di Roma in Rome, Italy. This manuscript is unique in that apart from the standard teachings of later Bolognese sources, it also treats the use of Medieval weapons and armor. Cesari and Rubboli speculate that it was written by Guido Antonio di Luca, the master who taught both Antonio Manciolino and Achille Marozzo, but this attribution has yet to receive popular support.
