The Berlin Sketchbook (Libr.Pict.A.83) is a German manuscript created in the 1510s.[citation needed] The original currently rests in the holdings of the Staatsbibliothek zu Berlin in Berlin, Germany. This manuscript appears to have originally been an artist's sketchbook, not a true fencing manual, and its focus on accurately depicting the fighters rather than on explicating their techniques. It also seems to be connected in some way to the Nuremberg manuscript group.
