A Brief History
Wed, 08/19/2009 - 21:45 — Jim.BarrowsThis website is the result of our interest in what is being called "Historical European Martial Arts", in particular the study of a manuscript written in early 1400 (one manual specifies 1409). This manuscript was written by Sir Fiore Furlano de Civida d'Austria delli Liberi da Premariacco (aka Fiore de Liberi). There are 4 known versions of this manuscript, of which the one at the Getty Museum is considered to be either the original, or close to it. The one at the Getty Museum is often called the "Getty Manuscript".
Fiore 2.0
Mon, 08/03/2009 - 07:24 — Jim.BarrowsThe Fiore 2.0 project is an attempt to bring together the sum of our interpretations for all four known Fiore manuscripts, and combine them into a cohesive interactive guide for practicing the martial arts of Fiore de Liberi.
There are seven disciplines
- Unarmed (Wrestling)
- Dagger
- Sword in one hand
- Sword in two hands
- Sword in armour
- Pollaxe
- Spear
(Note: Fiore teaches mounted combat as well, but that is currently beyond the scope of this project.)
