Description
Master of arms, historian and philosopher, Spanish or Italian by birth, who
made his career in Italy, probably at the court of Milan. Castiglione's
Courtier calls him the true and only master of every trained strength and
agility, and names him as the teacher of Galeazzo da Sanseverino. His Latin
Collectanea (printed 1509) cover wrestling, dagger, lance, swords, polearms,
mounted combat and physical training.
