I'm not a specialist from Marozzo, but some indications in the text seemed to me doubtful :

there are lot of masters in the XVIth century who published treaties of great quality and interest, it seems then difficult to write that Marozzo's treaty was the most important. For example, the treaty that Agrippa published in 1553 had probably much more influence than Marozzo's.
I've done a biography from Joachim Meyer using archives sources, and the link between Marozzo and Meyer is completly unknown to me until reading this short notice. Is there any clue that can valid this assertion?

I believe the statement (regarding Marozzo's work being the most important) stems from it's widespread popularity amongst later scholars who saw it as the best of what was available to them from this time. Notably, Egerton Castle made the bold statement that the scientific art of fencing was born with Marozzo (like Athena springing full grown from the head of Zeus), and before that, all was "rough, untutored fighting". This statement is entirely discredited in the light of recent scholarship. This should probably be entered into the article.

Marozzo's work was also reprinted many times, as late as 1615. Megalophias 05:14, 18 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
