The Codex Guelf 78.2 August 2° is a German fencing manual probably created between 1465 and 1480.^[1] The original currently rests in the holdings of the Herzog-August Bibliothek in Wolfenbüttel, Germany. This manuscript is a compilation work, and contains copies of Johannes Liechtenauer's Zedel, the Gladiatoria Fechtbuch, and Konrad Kyeser's famous treatise on siege warfare Bellifortis. The Gladiatoria section is especially interesting in that it includes vastly more material than any other manual in the complex, particularly in the dagger section. Unfortunately, although blank space is left below each image for the inclusion of text, the manuscript was apparently never completed and so we have no explanation for these unique plays. The current confused sequence of plays (as compared to the three earlier versions) is probably the result of errors during a rebinding.
