About this title

Synopsis

The Works of George Silver is a book that was first published in 1898. It is a compilation of two of George Silver's most notable works: Paradoxes of Defense and Bref Instructions Vpo My Pradoxes of Defense. George Silver was an English gentleman who lived during the 16th century and was known for his expertise in the field of swordsmanship. Paradoxes of Defense is a treatise on the art of sword fighting, in which Silver argues that the traditional methods of swordplay used in his time were flawed and ineffective. He proposes a new system of defense that emphasizes simplicity, practicality and efficiency. Silver's ideas were controversial in his time, and his book was met with criticism and skepticism from other swordsmen.Bref Instructions Vpo My Pradoxes of Defense is a shorter work that expands on the ideas presented in Paradoxes of Defense. In this book, Silver provides more detailed instructions on how to execute his new system of defense, and offers advice on how to train and practice effectively. Overall, The Works of George Silver is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of swordsmanship, or in learning about Silver's unique approach to the art of sword fighting. The book is written in an accessible style, and includes illustrations and diagrams to help readers understand the techniques and concepts presented.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
