Allerley Kampf zur Roß und Fueß in und an Harnisch ("All Manner of Combat on Horse and on Foot, Both Armored and Unarmored", MS KK5126) is a German fencing manual probably created in the 1480s.[citation needed] The original currently rests in the holdings of the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna, Austria. Though Paulus Kal was likely alive and in the service of Archduke Sigismund of Austria at the time that this manuscript was created, it bears no dedication. This has not stopped some from speculating that Kal himself oversaw its production as a revised edition of the CGM 1507.[1]

Kal's treatise consists of a partial redaction of the writings of Johannes Liechtenauer on Kampffechten, Roßfechten, and Bloßfechten, as well as Kal's own teachings on a variety of other weapons. It differs from the works of other followers of Liechtenauer in that instead of offering extensive glosses of the high master's verses, Kal explains them with detailed illustrations. Unlike the earlier manuscripts containing Kal's works, this is a much larger compilation incorporating material from several other masters within the tradition of Johannes Liechtenauer. At the same time, the text of Kal's own work is omitted and the art is somewhat inferior to that of the CGM 1507.[2]
