Achille Marozzo, a 16th century italian fencing master, dedicated one of his five books on the Longsword (Spada da due Mane to be precise). It starts out with his three Assalti (solo-drills with some context - so you can practice with a partner). What follows is the description on guards and how to use them. Unfortunately he didn’t describe & show us all the positions in detail. That, and the sheer number of them can be a bit overwhelming. So here is a short overview on all of his used guards with two perspectives - front & side.
If you are just starting out, I’d recommend you begin with his chapters on the guards & tactical advice and only after that learn his Assalti. ;)
