The Mysterious Geometry of Swordsmanship, Gorgeously Illustrated

This is a really neat little article about the geometry of fencing, as told in Girard Thibault’s Académie de l’Espée (1628). The article is by Daniel Margocsy  of The Slate. The thing that I really like is that there are some high-resolution images that you can view, both on the page and over at Wellcome Images!

Enjoy!
