Thank you! My but that's a big and surprisingly orderly pile of reference material... Technically, ſ is not the same as f, but substituting the latter became standard in print because most typefaces lacked the long s.  |

I’m glad that you explained. It can be equated to the English version of ñ being n. They are not the same nor pronounced the same and the word gets corrupted.
Ya, that was a heap of material and I hope to start on one today. I was too tired yesterday. I have no idea which as anything over one confuses me.
Thanks again Michaelj.

Angelo, Domenico & Angelo, Henry. (1787). The school of fencing: With a general explanation of the principal attitudes and positions peculiar to the art .
His book is the one to start with very well written easy to understand and has pictures. I love it. Also there are other things on that site pictures,videos, events for the Smallsword Symposium etc
