Concordance by Michael Chidester

Magister H. Beringer was a 15th century writer credited with authoring a poem on fencing with some connection to the Recital of Johannes Liechtenauer. It is first recorded in the MS G.B.f.18.a (ca. 1418-28), and thus predates all records of Liechtenauer's teachings. The extreme difference in the order of verses between Beringer and Liechtenauer, along with the fact that Beringer's text includes only a substantial fragment of one section of Liechtenauer's, makes a direct transmission from one master to the other seem unlikely. It may be that both men were heritors of an older oral tradition in which the exact sequence of verses was not set, or it may be that Beringer's verse represents just one of the teachings that Liechtenauer received and compiled over the course of the journeys described in MS 3227a.[1]
