The MS XIX.17-3 is a German fencing manual created by Hans Talhoffer between 1446 and the creation of the Thott manuscript in 1459.[1] The original currently rests in the private collection of the Königsegg-Aulendorf family in Königseggwald, Germany. This manuscript seems to be based on the earlier Ambraser Codex.
