About me

Introduction	The fifth book of Marozzo’s Opera Nova contains a great deal of discussion regarding the laws and mores of dueling in Bologna at the time of writing. This provides considerable context for the culture of arms in which Marozzo was living and working. Despite the rich cultural context provided by this section, no full translation of it into English has been made available in translated works of the Opera Nova. As both a fencer and a lawyer with a strong interest in history, I am currently working on a long-term translation of this section of the fifth book.
