Monte was a Spaniard living in Italy in the 15/16th century (like I said after the time period we are talking about), but wrote in Latin. Apparently he was quite the writer, doing everything from warfare, swordsmanship, wrestling (even noting the differences between coutry styles) to balistics and dueling. Unfortunately I have never seen anything on the net for him except on ARMA where Sydney Angelo was supposed to be translating it. This was 10 yrs ago. Never heard anything more after that.
