No Plan.
\_ ok, so are you trying to point out his bad taste in shells, or what.
\_ no, it just tells us who exactly is the ucla cs student
who is having a lot of sex and having alot of fun
\_ i thought you might be suggesting that, but figured you
wouldn't be stupid enough to make that implication.
i stand corrected.
\_ You could have figured out where I was by going to my csua
homepage, or simply asking me. And no, the 'ucla cs guy'
is not me. I know at least 2 csua members at UCLA right
now, and about 10 former Berkeley students. -- ilyas
\_ next, our genius op will discover who the guy who works
in the south bay is, and who the guy from fremont is, and
all anonymity will be gone forever.
\_ By that logic, I go to Stanford. - pst
hey Ilya, check out Ars Gladitoria:

\_ Yermom. |

| www.chivalrybookshelf.com/titles/vadi/vadi.htm Master Fillipo Vadis work, previously overlooked and underestimated by fencing scholars, presents the student of historical swordsmanship or of miltiary history a fresh, stunningly beautiful look into the mind of an Italian fencing master. The core of the book is the Prologue and the Chapters that accompany it, explaining in detail not only who should be taught the art of swordsmanship-and how-but detailed explanations that cover almost every aspect of swordsmanship. Closely following the works of the late 14th century master Fiore dei Liberi, Vadi fills in many puzzling blanks left by the old Master and offers his own innovations. Accompanying the exquisitely wrought text, finely translated by Luca Porzio, are 56 color plates showing many of the techniques explained in the chapters and by other historical masters, but in this case, with such a beautiful rendering that they are works of art unto themselves. Each of the plates has been rendered in full color, presented on a single page for close study. Facing pages present a complete translation of the accompanying text. The authors have also included a penetrating new analysis of the Vadi material, debunking common myths about Vadi and challeng-ing the conventional view concerning his place in the history of fencing. Especially interesting is the section by Gregory Mele care-fully comparing techniques in Vadi with the different editions of Fiore dei Liberi. An absolute must for the bookshelf of anyone interested in the history of fencing or late medieval warfare, this rich volume will also appeal to collectors of illuminated manuscripts, reeactors, and literary traditions of 15th century Italy. |
