Vincentio Saviolo : ウィキペディア英語版 | Vincentio Saviolo
Fencing master Vincentio Saviolo (d. 1598/9), though Italian born and raised, authored one of the first books on fencing to be available in the English language. He arrived in London from Padua in 1590. John Florio described Saviolo's fencing school being, in 1591, "in the little street where the well is...at the sign of the red Lyon." It was described by George Silver as being "within a bow shot" of what was later the Bell Savage or la Belle Sauvage, at this time "Savage's inn, otherwise called the Bell on the Hoop" ('' Inns and Taverns of Old London'' by Henry C. Shelley, 1909), on Ludgate Hill. His particular nemesis among the Masters of Defence of the English school was this George Silver, who wrote his own book to attack Saviolo's systems. Throughout the 16th century, handbooks became increasingly popular. In 1558, Saviolo wrote the original version of his ''Practice'' in Italian.〔Ferington, Esther. ''Infinite Variety''. 2002. Pp. 113.〕 In 1595, John Wolfe printed an edition in London, translated into English as ''Vincentio Saviolo, his practise, in two bookes, the first intreating of the use of the Rapier and Dagger, the second of Honor and honorable quarrels.'' The first part of this work was written as a conversation between Saviolo and an imaginary student (a structure common in 16th century handbooks). This part undertakes to instruct in the rapier and dagger fencing techniques of Saviolo's day. The careful reader will notice the absence of the lunge. The second part, ''Of Honor and Honorable Quarrels", deals with dueling etiquette. Much of the material comes from the works of Girolamo Muzio.〔Ferington, Esther. ''Infinite Variety''. 2002. Pp. 113.〕 The 1595 Club (in London and Brighton) is the only modern organisation practicing Saviolo's techniques in the U.K. ==References==
