Fior di Battaglia ("The Flower of Battle", MS Ludwig XV 13) is an Italian fencing manual authored by Fiore de'i Liberi, possibly created for the Milanese diplomatic mission to Ferrara in 1404.[citation needed] The original currently rests in the holdings of the J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles, California. Its preface, format, illustrations, and text are all very similar to the MS M.383.
