Herbert Schmidt is truly one of Austrian’s most famous HEMAists: foremost authority on the European buckler, author of many books on our fine art and founder of the club Ars Gladii ‪@arsliechtenauer‬ He was kind enough to join me in this video and to answer my questions on the buckler during the 16th century in Italy and his latest books:
- The Medieval and Renaissance Buckler - Herbert Schmidt (2022) www.amazon.de/Medieval-Renais...
- A Catalogue of European Bucklers - Herbert Schmid (2022) www.amazon.de/Catalogue-Europ...
