Re: [CFML] Obscure Historical Info

Hi.....

I've learned this about Aggrippa training.... quite right he was an
architect by trade.... he appearantly published three other books on
various topics in his time..... And he applied his theoretical mind to the
task at hand after using what he had been taught by what ever master[s] he
was taught by in a brawl and getting his butt whipped.

Now this I believe is conjecture on the part of Roger Siggs who is currently
translating Aggrippa's work on swordplay.... but of all the people to make
a good solid conjecture like that, I'd have to think Mr. Siggs is perhaps
the person farthest into his head.
