Welcome to LearningFiore.com, a site dedicated to the understanding and practice of the arts laid out by Fiore De Liberi circa 1400.

We wish to provide the best copies of the original manuscripts, their translations, and interpretations as can be made freely available

Please create an account to take full advantage of our resources including:

  • Images of the four known Fiore manuscripts
  • Translations of many of the plates
  • The Fiore 2.0 Project

The Fiore 2.0 Project will bring together in one place all the known manuals in one place, not just on one site, but the actual content side by side. It's also an attempt to point you, the reader at every known online, and offline source of material. We are trying bring as much knowledge into place as possible. Where there are competing theories as to meaning, and practice we want present each of those so that you the reader can more easily understand Fiore's art

Our site is still under primary construction and it may take some time to complete, thank you for your patience.

A Brief History

Wed, 08/19/2009 - 21:45 — Jim.Barrows

This 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.Barrows

The 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.)
