Trattato di Scientia d'Arme, con vn Dialogo di Filosofia ("Treatise on the Science of Arms, with a Dialogue on Philosophy") is an Italian fencing manual written by Camillo Agrippa and printed in 1553. It treats the use of the side sword in a revolutionary new method based on geometry, and was highly influential in the development of the Verdadera destreza as well as 17th century Italian rapier fencing.
