9th Master — 1st Play (Fol 17v)
Section: Fiore: Dagger
Source Text and Drawing
I am the ninth King and there are no more [kings] of the dagger, and this grip that I do from below, this grip is done overhand by the fourth King, that I do from below. But my plays are not done with his actions. This grip is useful in armour and without, that I can do a lot and strongly. And especially those that follow me. In armour and without, of these there are no doubt.
