"In this illustrated book Sydney Anglo provides the first complete study of the martial arts from the early fifteenth to the late seventeenth centuries. He explains the significance of martial arts in Renaissance education and everyday life and offers a full account of the social implications of one-to-one combat training."--BOOK JACKET.
First sentence: IT WAS WITH this martial example that Thomas Hobbes, in his Leviathan of 1651, sought to clarify what he saw as the essential difference between Prudentia and Sapientia - that is between wisdom acquired on the one hand by experience and, on the other, by science.
