After publishing his treatise \u003cem\u003e\u003cem\u003eLo Schermo\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e in Copenhagen in 1606, Fabris returned to his native Padua. However, his teachings stayed alive in Denmark and Germany, rapidly replacing the older, local styles of fencing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJohann Georg Pascha was another German fencing master, who published numerous treatises on fencing and other arts young nobles should learn. In 1671, he signed the dedication on a book titled \u003cem\u003e\u003cem\u003eProper Description of Thrust-Fencing with the Single Rapier\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e, now known by its shelf number \u003cem\u003e\u003cem\u003eMscr.Dresd.C.13\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e. Pascha writes that this book presents the fencing lessons of master Von und zum Velde, who learned them \"in Italy from the famous Salvatore\", to which Pascha added his own lessons about \"parrying, as well as holds, and other lessons and guards\" to make \"a complete fencing book\". Interestingly, British Library \u003cem\u003eMs 17533\u003c\/em\u003e contains the same text as the Dresden manuscript, minus Pascha's additions, thus allowing for a direct comparison between the two versions of this text.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this volume, the reader will find a complete translation of \u003cem\u003e\u003cem\u003eMs.Dresd.C.13\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e and the illustrations from British Library \u003cem\u003e\u003cem\u003eMS 17533\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e.
