| 520 | _a"The Art of Fencing; Or, The Use of the Small Sword" by maître d'armes Labat is a comprehensive instructional text on the practice and techniques of fencing, likely written in the early 18th century. The book serves as both a guide for experienced fencers and a foundational manual for beginners seeking to master the small sword, emphasizing the importance of technique and strategy over mere strength. At the start of the text, the translation by Andrew Mahon outlines the significance of selecting the right blade and its proper mounting, which sets the stage for effective fencing. Mahon discusses the attributes of a suitable sword, mentioning the balance of length, sturdiness, and design that suits the individual fencer. He stresses the necessity of understanding the guard positions and body movements to perform an effective thrust, explaining that proper form and positioning are crucial for both attack and defense. The opening portion emphasizes the importance of precise technique in fencing and serves as both a dedication to Mahon's mentor and a precursor to the detailed techniques that unfold in the subsequent chapters.
