	Marcus Vipsanius Agrippa - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Agrippa was of humble birth, being born in the countryside outside of Rome.
		Agrippa's first care was to provide a safe harbor for his ships, which he accomplished by cutting through the strips of land which separated the Lacus Lucrinus from the sea, thus forming an outer harbor and an inner one was also made by joining the lake Avernus to the Lucrinus.
		Agrippa’s last public service was his beginning of the conquest of the upper Danube River region, which would become the Roman province of Pannonia in 13 BC.

	History of Fencing for Final Project for CS403 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		Agrippa's Trattato di Scientia d'Arme ("Treaty on the Science of Arms") advocated a rationalistic approach to swordsmanship.
		Agrippa replaced the tradition of using descriptive names for fencing actions, with a simple system of four guards, numbered sequentially from the position the hand naturally takes when the sword is drawn from the scabbard: prima, seconda, terza, and quarta.
		Agrippa also placed great emphasis on using the point, which, he argued, is superior to a cut, since an object moving in a straight line will reach its destination faster than an object traveling in an arc.

	Camillo Agrippa - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Camillo Agrippa was a noted fencer, architect, engineer and mathematician of the Renaissance.
		Agrippa was a contemporary of Michelangelo, and the two were probably acquainted (or so Agrippa claims in his later treatise on transporting the obelisk to the Piazza San Pietro).
		Based on a spurious inscription in a copy of Agrippa owned by a British collector, the fencing historian Edgerton Castle in his book Schools and Masters of Fencing (1885) claimed that Michelangelo may have provided the copperplate engravings for Agrippa's book.

	Roman Fountains: Trinita de Monti Fountain
		The villa, as imposing as a fortress, was almost certainly completed in 1572 and its grounds were full of fountains and garden ponds with statues of nymphs, all fed by the Aqua Vergine, whose cisterns, as we know were and still are just at the foot of the hill, in the Salita di S. Sebastianello.
		The water was pumped to the villa at the top of the hill thanks to the ingenuity of a man from Milan, Camillo Agrippa, who is remembered in a comical inscription in the villa itself.
		In a play on the man’s surname, this read: “Marcus Agrippa [the son-in-law of the Emperor Augustus] only brought the Aqua Vergine as far as the low-lying region of Campo Marzio; but Master Camillo Agrippa’s good work succeeded in raising it to the top of the Pincio Hill, which shows he was the greater genius”.

	Italian Martial Arts
		Agrippa was rather a more scientific individual, and analyzed different methods from a more scientific perspective, leading him to several important innovations.
		His treatise embraced some of Agrippa's innovations, particularly the thrust, which he considered superior to the cut, as did many masters by this point (although di Grassi does discuss certain situations in which the cut is preferable to the thrust).
		However, he was one of the first masters to write on the analysis of the parts of the blade itself, and consider the advantages and disadvantages of each, specifically that the part of the blade nearest the hilt should be used for parries, the tip for thrusts, and the part in between for cuts.

	AGRIPPA Camillo.; Trattato di scienza d'arme. Et un dialogo in detta materia.
		Agrippa, who was not a fencing-master but a theorist, presents a scientific study of the geometry of defence and attack lines, and a biomechanical knowledge of the relationship between the movement of the body and that of the sword or dagger that is held.
		According to Agrippa, the cardinal action of fencing is the long thrust that is also called the 'botta lunga' or the 'lunge'.
		He also describes the use of the rapier for cutting and thrusting, extensively explains the effect of the guards, emphasises circular movements and the use of the dagger parry.

		Camillo Agrippa, C16th Italian mathematician, philosopher, engineer and architect from Milan, is also the author of some interesting treatises on architecture, navigation and geography.
		Although Agrippa dabbled in cabalism, hermeticism and magic - he was the historical prototype for Goethe’s Faust and was formerly lumped together with Reuchlin and Lull, today he is assigned a central place in the history of mediaeval thought along that main line of intellectual developement from Nicolas de Cusa to Sebastian Franck.

		Camillo Agrippa, though primarily known to history as an engineer, also revolutionized the teaching of fencing with his 1553 Trattato di Scientia d’Arme.
		This paper will discuss Agrippa’s ragionaménto of the art of the sword, his geometrical analysis of the human body, and his work’s larger place in the history of science.
		Fabian von Auerswald's book, "The Art of Wrestling: 85 pieces," relies on a tightly limited vocabulary, a careful organization of techniques (including throws, locks and "breaks") and several mnemonic devices to deliver the essence of an art that the author himself considered to be poorly understood by the aristocracy of his time.

		A brief introduction to Camillo Agrippa's Treatise on the Science of Arms.
		Camillo Agrippa's "Trattato di Scientia d'Arme" of 1553 is widely held to have laid the foundations of Italian thrust-dominated swordplay.
		In this class the student will be introduced to the fundamental geometric and biomechanical precepts of Agrippa's science of fence, their expression in the essential guards and actions, and the basic tactics guiding their combative application.

		Camillo ascoltava impassibile indifferenza le notizie che casualmente gli giungevano sui tristi momenti che l'antica amata patria viveva.
		Alla notizia di tale umiliante particolare, Camillo andò su tutte le furie vergognandosi del fatto che Roma avesse potuto allontanare quei rozzi barbari col denaro, svilendo in tal modo il prestigio conquistato con la brillante vittoria su Veio.

	The Discourse of Acamillo Palladini
		He finds the sword hand too high to be ready in an instant for offence and defence, and he observes that the feet are spaced too closely together to obtain the degree of agility he feels necessary to attack and retreat with facility.
		In comparing Agrippa's illustrations of the guards in terza and quarta with those of Palladini, it is interesting to note that Agrippa's fencer leans forward while Palladini's leans backward.
		Interestingly, both Agrippa and Palladini omit discussion of the parts of the blade and its divisions.

	Getting to the Point
		The schools of use for these relatively light, single-handed weapons, the Spanish espada ropera (or "dress sword"), and the Italian spada di lato ("side-sword," in the sense of a "sidearm"), were not very much changed from the earlier, more military styles.
		For instance, prior to Agrippa, colorful mnemonic names for guards and stances, such as the porta di ferro ("iron door") and posta di donna ("lady's guard") were in common use throughout Europe to describe positions taken for attack, defense, or to invite an attack from the adversary.
		Agrippa replaced these descriptive names by a simple system of four guards, numbered sequentially from the position the hand naturally takes when the sword is drawn from the scabbard: prima, seconda, terza, and quarta.

		From such an analytical mind it's a wonder that he was unable to formulate the development of the lunge.
		Agrippa taught this form of shoulder thrust along with the common use of the pass.
		In 1573 the four guards of Agrippa were reduced by Henri de Sainct Didier to three, as were the thrusts which he recognized.

		Marozzo is considered to have been both the first writer of merit on the subject and, in his practice, the last master of the "cutting and slashing" style of fencing.
		His contemporary Camillo Agrippa, better known to us as a mathematician and engineer, emphasized the use of the point, rather than the edge of the blade.
		Notable English works in the collection are two titles by the "Scots Fencing Master" Sir William Hope, whose treatises The Compleat Fencing Master (London, 1692) and A New, Short, and Easy Method of Fencing (Edinburgh, 1707) were among the most celebrated English fencing works in the late seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries.
