Opera Nova ("A New Work") is a Bolognese fencing manual written by Antonio Manciolino and printed in ca. 1523,[1] and possibly the earliest printed Italian fencing treatise. Editions of the 1531 edition currently rest in the Raymond J. Lords Collection of the University of Massachusetts in Amherst, Massachusetts (USA),[2] as well as the holdings of the Bayerische Staatsbibliothek in Munich, Germany;[3] the Bibliothèque Nationale de France in Paris, France;[4] and the Biblioteca Nazionale Centrale di Roma in Rome, Italy.[5] This treatise is important as it is the earliest work currently known from the Dardi (Bolognese) style of Italian swordsmanship.
Publication History
Opera Nova was printed in Venice in 1531 by Nicolo d’Aristotile detto Zoppino. An earlier edition seems to have been written in 1523 and printed some time thereafter, but no copies of any such earlier printing are known to exist. There also don't seem to have been any further printings of this text until the first modern Italian translation was released in 2008; this was followed by a new edition of the original text published in 2009 by Steven Reich. In 2010, Manciolino's treatise was translated into English and published by Tommasso Leoni.
