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.
