A later, Italian language printing (the first is in Latin, 1471) of this treatise on duels. The text appears to vary somewhat in these early vernacular printings. Each of the nine books begins with a handsome 9 line criblé initial; chapters commence with a 4 line woodcut initial. See Cockle citing the first, #865; absent from Adams; Thimm #233.
