Fabris biography, Fabris discography
Italian fencing master from Padua.During his life he taught in various European countries, most notably in Denmark where he was the fencing instructor of King Christian IV.His treatise, first published by Henrico Waltkirch, is also regarded as one of the finest examples of baroque printing, with its 191 copperplate engravings by Ian Halbeeck, Francesco Valeggio and possibly other artists.This book is also important to bibliophiles because it is the first Danish book to feature copperplate engravings.Fabris was also the Supreme Knight of the Order of the Seven Hearts, a chivalrous order of which we do not yet know much today.The order's insignia, consisting of seven hearts arranged in a cross pattern surmounted by a phoenix bird, are visible on the left breast of Fabris' only extant portrait (see illustration).The wording "Supreme Knight of the Order of the Seven Hearts" is coupled with the author's name in all editions of Fabris' work, indicating that it must have been a point of importance.Life
Salvator Fabris was born in 1544 in or around Padua, and his youth coincided with the flowering of the Italian school of swordsmanship, with early Italian masters like Achille Marozzo, Angelo Viggiani and Giacomo di Grassi still teaching.Didier in 1573 mentions a meeting with a young fencer by the name of "Fabrice" while he was in the process of writing his own treatise, though there is nothing to prove that Fabris and Fabrice are the same man.It was during his years with the Archbishop that Fabris composed his treatise Scienza e Prattica d'Arme (of knowledge and practice of arms), although the book would be first published under the title Lo Schermo, overo Scienza D'Arme (on fencing, or martial knowledge).After employment with the Archbishop, Salvator entered the service of the king of Denmark, Christian IV from 1601 to 1606.It was the King himself who sponsored the publication of the treatise, putting his court painter, Jan Halbeeck, as well as others like Valeggio (whose signature also appears in the book's plates) at Fabris' disposal to refine the drawings of the book's handwritten edition.Fabris left the King's employment in 1606, and after traveling across Europe, returned to Italy, teaching at the University of Padua.He died in 1618 after fighting against malignant fever for about 10 days.Italian parallel edition of Fabris' treatise, on his deathbed, he bestowed his salle to senior student Herman, a German, who was later assassinated by a jealous colleague by the name of Heinrich.This monument was shown by Hynitzsch in 1676 as being under construction.Modern Fabris researchers have so far been unable to find other references to it.Fabris also includes a Book II consisting on ways to defeat an opponent without stopping in guard, a unique occurrence among 17th century Italian extant fencing treatises.In raw number of pages and illustrations, Fabris is the 17th century fencing master who, after thoroughly describing the use of the single sword, devotes the longest sections to sword and dagger and sword and cape.Illustrations of the main guards of sword and dagger, the main invitations, the thrusts and the voids.Illustrations of the main guards of sword and cape, the main invitations, the thrusts, the defenses and the voids.Part 1: Sword Alone
Six techniques on how to proceed against the opponent without stopping in guard with sword alone.Here, Fabris follows the same template as for the sword alone above.The section ends in the depiction of an opponent receiving a simultaneous thrust from his adversary's sword and dagger.Grapples, Disarms and Cape Throws Fabris adds a section on these techniques.Handed Fabris states that he had included this brief compendium only at the request of some friends.What other 17th century fencing masters said of Fabris
Throughout the 17th century, other masters such as Francesco Alfieri (1640), Giuseppe Morsicato Pallavicini (1670) and Francesco Antonio Marcelli (1686) commented on Fabris being a "great master" and "a man of the greatest name in our profession" and the author who best described the use of the guards.In his celebrated 1622 L'Academie De L'Espee, The Flemish master Gerard Thibault added a chapter commenting on the excellence of Fabris' students, praising the quickness of their feints and suggesting ways to defeat them.But it is the German author Hynitzsch who in 1676 gives us the fullest idea of the fame that Fabris had achieved in Europe: his book was plagiarized by other fencing masters (Hynitczch accuses the Venetian Nicoletto Giganti in particular), while his style was adopted by several official fencing institutions such as the University of Jena.Anecdotes on Fabris
The legendary stature achieved by Fabris in his lifetime accounts for the many anecdotes about him still circulating today.According to Italian fencing master and historian Luigi Barbasetti, Fabris was summoned to England to help Shakespeare choreograph the sword actions in the premier of Hamlet.According to this account, Sigismund intended to assassinate his uncle Charles, during a banquet at Uppsala on February 12, following the royal funeral of John III on 1 February.Fabritz was supposed to kill Charles during the performance, but Charles had been warned by a certain Hieronymus Strozzi and stayed away from the banquet.However, given that Fabris is a very common Italian surname (akin to Smith in English), it seems highly unlikely that these are both the same person.In 1676, Hynitzsch states that Nicoletto Giganti plagiarized Fabris' Book II in a German and French parallel edition in 1624.The German translator of Fabris is so incensed that he likens Giganti's offence to "the kidnapping of a child", and wishes for the immediate recall of the work.Today, Fabris' style is one of the most studied in the revival of historical European martial arts.German translation, Scienza e practica d'armed'arme di Salvatore Fabris.In 1686, Francesco Antonio Marcelli states in his Regole della Scherma, p.City of Padua, Archivi della Sanita', entry on Fabris' death.Herrn Salvator Fabris,

fortune to have already run through several weeks prior.We were hoping Vixy would get better by Norwescon, but this thing is just thrashing her, and now we're down to the point where even if she were miraculously better by Saturday (and from the looks of things, she won't be), we haven't been able to rehearse this week anyway and still wouldn't be able to do it.We've got two more weeks after this week to heal up in time for our our GOH slot at FilKONtario.Good news is, the week after Consonance, with exactly enough voice for one take of one phrase before she broke down and couldn't sing any more, Vixy fixed up the last piece of vocal track on the last song for our album.Of course, you all know Vixy, even her scratch tracks are awesome.We're almost done with the CD jacket design files.We
