"This way he, with a generous heart, who sees my work should love it as a jewel and treasure and keep it in his heart, so that never, by means, should this Art and doctrine fall into the hands of unrefined and low born men. . . But every learned and clever man surpasses other men bigger and stronger, as was correctly said: intelligence surpasses strength, and what is more and nearly incredible, the sage dominates the stars."

—Filippo Vadi of Pisa: Liber de Arte Gladiatoria Dimicandi ("Book on the Art of Fighting with Swords"), c.1450
