Description

Illustration of axes, pikes and maces from the 13th century from the book "History of Costumes of Peoples Throughout the Centuries" by Paolo Lorenzini, Nerbini Publishing House, Florence, 1934.. It is noted from the handwritten statutes of Ferrara from 1268 and a later one from the Republic of Modena that each soldier was required to have a cassettum, greaves and shin guards, iron gloves, an iron cap or helmet, a helm, lance, and shield, as well as a sword, spontoon, dagger, and a good horse saddle. The image shows the mace, the small mallet, the maul, and the hammer. These were the weapons of bishops and abbots who took part in battles.
Illustrazione di asce, picche e mazze di cavalieri del XIII secolo dal libro "Storia del costume dei popoli attraverso i secoli" di Paolo Lorenzini, Casa Editrice Nerbini, Firenze, 1934. Si rileva dagli statuti ferraresi manoscritti del 1268 e in uno posteriore della Repubblica di Modena, che ciascun soldato era tenuto ad avere panciera o cassettum, gambiere e schinieri, guanti di ferro, cappellina o cappello di ferro, elmo, lancia e scudo, spada, spontone, coltello e buona sella da cavallo. L'immagine mostra la mazza, il maglietto, il maglio e il martello. Erano le armi dei vescovi e degli abati che prendevano parte alle battaglie.
