Concordance by Michael Chidester

Octavio Ferrara was a 17th century Spanish fencing master. He seems to have been a resident of Zaragoza, Spain, and in ca. 1624 he was active in Madrid as Master at Arms.[1] The dedication of his treatise suggests that he might have been attached at some point to the court of Don Juan Ferdinando, Baron of Grünburg. In 1625, he wrote a brief illustrated fencing manual entitled Compendio y Philosophia y Dztreza de las Armas ("Compendium of the Philosophy and Skill at Arms"). The original manuscript has been lost, but is preserved in a 20th century tracing.
