{"product_id":"the-practical-monte","title":"The Practical Monte","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Practical Monte is focused on the modern fencing practitioner, consolidating those important elements for the practice of Pedro Monte's fencing into a concise and readable format. This work includes the wrestling, dagger, pollaxe, spear, spadone, and sword in one hand sections of the Collectanea, a sweeping work which covers everything from the disposition and psychology of one's troops to the arms and armor design of the 15th century, all from the direct lived experience of a late 15th century military contractor.  While wide-ranging and dense with information for the historian and practitioner alike, the Collectanea often lacks organization and clarity, which makes it a difficult text for the practices of fencing. This book bridges that gap for the casual reader, in a size and formatting appropriate to take into the fencing salle.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BooksWholesale","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43719545159841,"sku":"hhard2837","price":58.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0462\/1120\/3233\/files\/2k7pgv-front-shortedge-384_98f453a4-bd74-4709-ad31-37dedd8aca90.jpg?v=1714511166","url":"https:\/\/bookswholesale.myshopify.com\/products\/the-practical-monte","provider":"BooksWholesale","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
