Fiore de Liberi was a weapons-master from Italy who was active in the 14th and early 15th century. After fifty years of training Italy's elite, he put his art to paper and created the Flower of Battle.
The Flower of Battle covers unarmed combat, the use of the dagger, sword, spear, axe as well as other odds and ends.
The layout was first created by Tracy Mellow and the text was lovingly translated by Colin Hatcher.
The Field Edition is spiral-bound to give instructors an easier time using the book.
