All of this is complemented by Mondschein's insightful commentary.""--De Re Militari ""[This book] humanizes the experiences of medieval peoples, both scribes and warriors.""--Comitatus ""The fighting manuals of the late Middle Ages are intriguing windows into the skills that knights and men-at-arms trained in preparation for battles, duels, and tournaments.
