Medina notes that in reality, the book was published on August
14, 1810, because of delays occasioned by engraver Araoz. The
Mexican author was a master of arms in New Spain. Dicc. Porrúa
notes that his birth and death dates are unknown, but he is known
to have taught self defense by 1787. Of engraver Manuel Araoz,
Mathes (La Ilustración en México colonial) comments:
“Manuel Araoz, instructor in engraving, produced thirteen
excellent plates of fencing and fighting maneuvers using the
saber for Simón de Frías, Tratado elemental de la destreza del
sable, Imprenta de Arizpe.” The artist, who signs his name P.
Patiño or P.P., may be sculptor and artist Pedro Patiño
Ixtolinque (1774-1835, see Dicc. Porrúa);

This may be the earliest book on any form of fencing
published in Mexico and is a thorough guide to the formal
sport of fencing with sabers, complete with accurate,
detailed illustrations. The author includes descriptions of
various attacks, defenses, proper foot work, posture, and
equipment, including detailed descriptions of the fencing
sword. He states that his motive in writing the book is to
promote the art of self defense, which he stresses is
important not only for personal use, but also for other
causes, such as the defense of one’s nation.

Heraud y Clavijo de Soria, Antonio
Manual de esgrima: en que se trata de la
esgrima de la espada, espada y daga, del sable, florete...
1864, 1877
Also of interest is the Manual de esgrima en que se trata
de la esgrima de la espada, espada y daga, del sable, y del florete,
("Manual of Fencing that Treats on the Fencing of Sword, Sword and
Dagger, Saber and Foil") by Don Antonio Heraud y Clavijo De Soria,
first published in 1864 in Paris and reprinted in Paris and Mexico in
an expanded form in 1877, 1892, and 1905. Although this work is also
of a mixed system—showing the Bourbon influence in Spain—the
foundations of destreza are clearly strongly based on Carranza’s
theories. Of even greater importance is that this work shows that la
destreza, and systems derived from it, continued to be taught and
practiced, surviving through the 19th and into the 20th
centuries. Maestro Ramón Martínez, in "Jeronimo de Carranza's
'Philosophy' of Arms"
