"Cartilla, y lvz en la verdadera destreza, sacada de los escritos de D. Lvis Pacheco de Narvaez y de los autores que refiere", ("[A] Primer, and light on the Verdadera Destreza, taken from the writings of D. Luis Pacheco de Narvaez and the authors he refers to",) is a Spanish fencing treatise in the Verdadera Destreza tradition, written by D. Nicolás Tamariz, Deputy Grand Master of the city of Seville, printed and published in that city by "los Herederos de Thomas Lopez de Haro" ("The heirs of Thomás de Haro"), in 1696 CE.

A run of 200 facsimiles was published in 1902 by Devinne Press, New York, on behalf of the Hispanic Society of America, from a copy then in the library of one Archer M. Huntington. This facsimile can be found online, and a newly modernized transcription was completed by Carlos Urgel Gómez under the auspices of the Asociación Española de Esgrima Antigua in 2015.
