Document FormatFor these digital facsimiles, I try to work from the clearest and best sources available to me at thetime. Generally these documents are scanned on a flatbed scanner and then the individual pagesare assembled using Acrobat to create the PDF files. PDF was chosen because of the freelyavailable reader and its compressed format made it ideal for Internet distribution.

Further Information…I have placed a number of transcriptions and translations on the Web. You may find thesedocuments off of my Elizabethan Fencing web page at:
