Aaand... here it is!
Francisco Lorenz de Rada's «Crisol de La Verdadera Destreza y Filosofía Matemática de las Armas»!
216 pages!
25 fold-out diagrams!
Endless hours of fun!
Plus a non-zero chance of losing your mind and / or your soul, depending on which Elder One you end up invoking!
Jokes aside -- this is a major milestone in our publishing trajectory, because Rada is *the* definitive Destreza master. It can argued, very convincingly, that with him Destreza reaches its theoretical peak -- not quite with this work, but in his magnum opus «Nobleza de la Espada»... which is 1300+ pages long, so this is a stepping stone in that direction.
Rada's «Crisol» is (relatively) approachable in comparinson. Rada is methodical, and builds up from page to page. He made sure to provide ample graphical aid to help visualize his words, and we have painstakingly cleansed and reproduced the original diagrams, even correcting a couple of them where Rada himself spotted mistakes.
If you are a serious Destreza scholar, this is a book you absolutely must have -- and this time this is not hyperbole.
Plus: the first 50 or so orders will get, for free, an A3-size poster of Rada's second diagram, the Universal Demonstration of the distances in his system of fencing.
