The title of this article contains the character ů. Where it is unavailable or not desired, the name may be represented as Das Ander Theil Des Newen Kuenstreichen Fechtbueches (Cod.Guelf.83.4 Aug.8°).
Das Ander Theil Des Newen Kůnstreichen Fechtbůches ("The Second Part of This New Art-Rich Fencing Manual", Codex Guelf 83.4 August 8°) is a German fencing manual created in 1591.[1] The original currently rests in the holdings of the Herzog-August Bibliothek in Wolfenbüttel, Germany. This manuscript is unusual both because of its unique art style, portraying quite overweight fencers drawing copious amounts of blood despite using training weapons, and because it treats all of the typical Freifechter weapons but shows no connection to the tradition of Johannes Liechtenauer.
