'''''Die Blume des Kampfes''''' (“The Flower of Battle”) is a nickname given to a group of three German manuscripts which share a common technical syllabus and set of illustrations.<ref>This group has passed unnoticed until very recently, and has not been identified in any previous work on fencing manuals; indeed, most bibliographies of German fencing manuals do not even contain all of the relevant manuscripts. Wierschin (1965) includes only the 10799, and does not appear to have examined it in any depth. Hils (1985) includes only the B.26, and characteristically attributes its content to [[Hans Talhoffer]]. Anglo (2001) mentions only the 10799, which he describes in a brief footnote as derived from the [[Codex Wallerstein (Cod.I.6.4º.2)|Codex Wallerstein]] (Cod. I.6.4º.2). Bodemer (2008) likewise only briefly mentions the B.26. Finally, Leng (2008) includes both 5278 and B.26, but without the 10799 to make their connection clear he dismisses both as redactions of the work of [[Fiore de'i Liberi]]. All four bibliographies include the Cod. guelf. 78.2 Aug. 2º, but do not attempt any explanation for the illustrations connected with this group. None of the treatments of Fiore de'i Liberi's tradition to date have attempted to address these manuscripts either.</ref> It might possibly be based on the tradition of 14th century Italian master [[Fiore de'i Liberi]], from whose treatise ''Fior di Battaglia'' it derives its nickname, given that his works include considerable overlap in technique and artwork. It is equally possible, though, that they represent a separate transmission of an older tradition of which Fiore was himself an initiate; Fiore mentions in his prefaces that he owned books on the art and he also names two older masters in his tradition, [[Johane Suveno]] and [[Nicholai de Toblem]]; it is possible that either or both of those masters authored texts which inspired both this tradition as well as Fiore's own writings.

Like ''Fior di Battaglia'', ''die Blume des Kampfes'' treats [[mounted fencing]], [[spear]], [[poleaxe]]/[[halberd]], sword (both [[long sword]] and [[short sword]]), [[dagger]] (including dagger against sword), and [[grappling]]; it also includes unique content such as armored sword and [[shield]] and dueling with [[long shield]]s. In comparison to their Italic counterparts, the Germanic works place a greater emphasis on [[short sword]] fencing, doubling the number of devices, and also dwarf Fiore's own rather brief treatment of unarmored grappling. The dagger, sword, and polearm material is all more or less consistent across both traditions, and the explanatory text, though unconnected to that of Fiore, demonstrates a similar understanding or interpretation of the techniques.

== Manuscripts ==

The oldest manuscript in the ''Blume des Kampfes'' group is the [[Die Blume des Kampfes (Cod.5278)|Cod. 5278]], which dates to the 1420s<ref>The [http://data.onb.ac.at/rec/AL00173264 library catalog] dates it to ca. 1420/25. Notes were being added as late as 1428; see Jens P. Kleinau. "[https://talhoffer.wordpress.com/2011/11/30/1428-the-earthquake-of-basel-in-the-codex-5278/ 1428 The earthquake and the duel in the Codex 5278]". ''Hans Talhoffer ~ A Historical Martial Arts blog by Jens P. Kleinau''. 30 November 2011.</ref> and contains only simple line drawings somewhat reminiscent of the art of Fiore de'i Liberi&mdash;though differing in many details, lacking signature characteristics such as garters and crowns, and generally less organized than the Friulian master's work.

The second entry, included in the [[Eyb Kriegsbuch (MS B.26)|MS B.26]], was completed in ca. 1500 by [[Ludwig VI von Eyb]];<ref>The dedication on [[:Page:MS B.26 00Ar.png|folio Ar]] includes the date 1500.</ref> it contains a significant degree of overlap with the 5278, though both manuscripts also have a wealth of unique content. While the artwork, apart from being colored, is of similar quality, Eyb's treatise surpasses its fellow by including detailed German descriptions of the devices in most of its sections. (It cannot currently be determined whether this text was authored by Eyb or present in the sources upon which he based his work, but the material in the warbook portion appears to have been unaltered from its sources.)

The final manuscript, [[Bũech von fechter Vnnd Ringstückhen zũ Ross vnnd Fuoß (Cod.10799)|Cod. 10799]], is dated 1623 and is again text-less.<ref>The dedication on [[:Page:Cod.10799 001r.jpg|folio 1r]] states that it was begun in 1623.</ref> Unlike the previous two manuscripts, however, it is illustrated with watercolors of high quality; it is also the most extensive of the three by far, encompassing nearly every device from both works as well as a number of unique devices that suggest that it was either not derived directly from the other two known manuscripts, or that it used additional sources currently unknown to us. Additionally, where the other two include [[war book]]s derived from [[Konrad Kyeser]]'s famous treatise on siege warfare ''Bellifortis'', the artist of the 10799 only included the few ''Bellifortis'' illustrations that seem to portray knights and soldiers, perhaps indicating that he did not understand what he was copying. Aside from the ''Blume des Kampfes'' material, the 10799 also has many original illustrations including portrayals of laying down and taking up the sword, Germanic sash wrestling, and the [[sword dance]].

There is a fourth Germanic manuscript potentially connected to this tradition, the [[Wolfenbüttel Sketchbook (Cod.Guelf.78.2 Aug.2º)|Cod.Guelf.78.2 Aug.2º]]. This manuscript, dating to between 1465 and 1480,<ref>According to the [http://dbs.hab.de/mss/?list{{=}}ms&id{{=}}78-2-aug-2f&lang{{=}}en library catalog entry].</ref> includes a version of [[Johannes Liechtenauer]]'s [[Recital]], a complete set of illustrations from [[Gladiatoria]], and a brief excerpt of ''Bellifortis''. Tucked away amidst these works are illustrations of fencing with sword, spear, ax, and dagger that parallel the teachings of the ''Blume des Kampfes'' but only occasionally replicate the artwork exactly. While this may simply be a case of an overambitious artist reinterpreting the illustrations he was copying, the differences are too many to include the manuscript in the concordance below.

== Treatise ==

Due to the fragmentary nature of the extant texts, piecing together an authoritative version of the treatise is problematic. In this concordance, the structure laid out by the Cod. 5278 will generally be followed, as it is the oldest known text. The additional plays from MS B.26 will be arranged around this structure; the sequence in B.26 will only take precedence over that of 5278 in cases where the text dictates a sequence of plays (following the principle that text always takes precedence over illustrations). Unique plays from the Cod. 10799 will appear last in each section, since their relationship to the others is unclear.

| <p>[2] Note: a good deceptive duelling technique (''kampffstuck'') on foot, in armour. When you are in the Arena and want weapons and want the end to be promptly given—then take your sword exposed by the blade in your left hand so that the point stands upright and your [spear]spike ascending in your right hand.</p>

<p>And if he then steps toward you with his spear, and he proceeds to charge at you, then prepare to throw [yours] at him, and yet you do want to exchange throws with each other, then proffer him at the third moment throw the Spear strongly at him and so you run at him while the shot causes him concern and he must parry the spear away—then seize your sword by the hand and hilt, and shove it strongly at him, and whilst he attempts to recover, then go at him and fall in under him to penetrate in with both hands and arms onto his, or by the arse, and pull him strongly toward you.</p>

<p>During the pull, place your head low on his chest, and penetrate and break him high on his chest with the head quickly, over your arm on to his back, and do this bravely and quickly with your force, so you will freely succeed, so must you also learn well how to shoot forward with the spear and sword.</p>

| <p>[3] A shot<ref>Presently, a term more commonly associated with firearms evidently originated with throwing of javelins. ''Schiessen'' means ‘shooting’, but it is also indicative of ‘throwing’, ‘launching’, ‘discharging’ etc.</ref> with the spear: take your sword by the blade in your left hand and spear in the right hand. Angle the [spear-]shaft forward, and raise the hilt of the sword to place them together<ref>A similar method of holding the weapons together is found in [[Talhoffer Fechtbuch (MS Thott.290.2º)|Talhoffer]].</ref> to quite spontaneously<ref>Lexer equates “Torlich” with ''temerarius'': accidental, rash, thoughtless. I have used the term ‘spontaneous’ in order to avoid an undesirable connotation in English.</ref> charge at him. And if he runs in directly at you whilst you are justly charging, then thrust upwards quickly with the sword and with the shaft hand, and shoot in at him. And whilst there is this protection (''schutz''), then run in at him with the sword and stab. With this action yet he cannot yet come around to his sword, and thereby tackle (''unterlauff''<ref>Lit: “run under”, “pass under”, “undermine”</ref>) his spear as well so that he may not have a shot at you and thus stab at him quite hard until he comes in to the sword.</p>

| <p>[4] Either a shot with the spear or with the sword, such that someone cannot be guarded from it, and also someone cannot be sure whether you will shoot. Thus take the spear or the sword in hand and turn the point (spike, ''spitz'') towards him, and shoot low in front of you, so that you may well dissipate a strong shot. Also do not pull it upwards because the opponent will rightly want to take a shot. And similarly, if you notice that he wants to do, then tread yourself away.</p>

| <p>[5] A good shot or stabbing blow with the spear, and in this you go quite maliciously and discretely against someone:<ref>This is evidently Talhoffer’s second position for throwing ([[Page:Ms.XIX.17-3 06r.png|MS XIX.17-3, 6r]]; [[Page:MS 78.A.15 10r.jpg|MS 78.A.15, 10r]]; [[Page:MS KK5342 06r.png|MS KK5342, 6r]])</ref> So take the spear forward to wield in both forearmed upturned<ref>''Gewappent'' can mean “armed” whilst ''verwant'' can mean “relatively”.</ref> hands. Angle your right side arm and leg forward, so that if someone steps toward you with a sword or spear it is then that you want to reveal your spear, and in doing so you may well allow him to run right up to the half-spear, then at that point, step back quickly with your right leg so that you let your spear go around above the head in your right hand, so you may have your spear sufficiently ahead of you and thus may your spear strike him well with the iron[-point], or else shoot it in whatever way you want. That means you go quite level and proceed directly.</p>

| <p>[8] A good charge (''einlauffen'') when in armour with the spear: Take the spear and the sword together in both hands and wield the sword discretely so that someone will not notice it. And when someone steps toward you with a spear and has his sword separate when he charges lancingly (''stecken''<ref>Ebers, Vol.5 (1799, 354-355) “Stecken, signifies also, to pitch, to drive or thrust in, to stick”. Pfahle stecken “to set Pales, to drive or thurst them into the ground” also referring to “auf einen Pfahl stekcen, spießen: to impale”. It also follows the implication to Plant, i.e. trees into the ground. Also consider the meanings of “einer Sache das Ziel stecken: to stop the Course of a Thing”, “ein Ziel stecken: to set an Aim or a Mark to aim at”, “sich in Noth stecken: to engage, embark or intangle in a dulle Piece of Trouble”. “Ich weiß wo es steckt: I know the Difficulty of it”. The term stëchen means to Stab, but with a driving action. Such a meaning caused it to be used variously as a synonym for tournament jousting (das turnieren), particularly in poetic works (http://woerterbuchnetz.de/Lexer/?lemid=LS07141 : WIG. SUCH. LIEHT. 71,26. VIRG. 75,5. 546,8. REINFR. B. 27113. ANTEL. 185. 87. FASN. 646,25. CHR. 4. 323,15; 9. 859,2; 10. 375,17). Talhoffer makes use of the term appealing to such chivalric epics in his exordium to Liutold von Koenigsegg. Here we see the logic for why a the sword and spear are to be taken together, as per the preliminary instructions.</ref>), and he attempts to stab at the same time as you, then strike his spear away and run in at him with the sword and stab him. And also stab him upwards from below four times, so is he disarmed with a break against his armour. Then you try to stab him to death, until he goes to draw his sword, and then you jump backward so that he cannot retaliate, and go again towards him according to your advantage.</p>

| <p>[9] Yet again quite a good technique against forearmed hands using the Spear:</p>

<p>If you step towards someone with the spear, then reduce the distance between your hands [''nym In kurtzer In die handt''] than his is, and if he wants to stab at you this way, then rebuke<ref>wîʒen ''stv.

<p>So twist in the spear firmly, release your rear grip to seize it over your back, so as to reach in with the spear through his legs. Allow the point to go to the ground and lift the shaft up strongly in front of you. And so, with it in the ground between his legs, throw him on his back.</p>

| <p>[10] Note; Here there are three techniques described in sequence:</p>

<p>The first is a throw with the spear, the other a low stab with the sword, the third is a high stab with the sword and these three deceptive techniques are for when duelling with someone in armour and forearmed in accordance with the German customs of duelling.</p>

<p>So take your spear in your right hand in order to throw. In your left hand take together both a Pavise<ref>The Bohemian Pavise, a form of shield as shown in the illustration named after the city of Pavia, Italy. It became the quintessential duelling weapon, being featured heavily in the Weisskunig. Here it takes the German form of the noun, Pavessen.  Because of its size (up to a yard wide, and four or more feet tall) it often became grouped to form a shield-wall known as a Pavisade. It also tended to be used heavily by archers in the English wars with France (Fosbroke 1843, 880)</ref> and a sword with a heavy pommel held upright by the blade. Cover your openings and peer out and from there with the Pavise. Also, step toward him and from this position, throw the spear strongly in at him. Whilst he attempts to parry the shot, then grasp your sword by the hilt and run in at him. Thus you run his spear away and give him an unexpected low lead-thrust while approaching from your centre-of-gravity (balance) pushed and shoved, with a similar stab at his helmet. You stab someone through any [form of] Arena armour.

|- 
| [[File:MS B.26 018v-c.png|400px|center]]
| <p>[11] The other [2nd] technique is when you have thrown your spear, and during the shot, thus grasp your sword by the hilt for a low fore-thrust and charge in, so you run his spear away. Yet if he recovers from it, then also step towards him with a varied entry [''schwanken zutritt''] from below to his stomach or done with a strong shot by punching the stab. And if his sword has been harmed by the ''stechen'' and cannot proceed, then allow your Pavise to drop down to strike him at the head, on the arm and hand, for as long as possible until he is hurt by you. And don’t let him come no more to his sword.</p>

|- 
| [[File:MS B.26 018v-d.png|400px|center]]
| <p>[12] The third is for when you have thrown your spear and run in towards him and given him a strong thrusting stab with a varied approach from the Balance [your stance]<ref>The implication seems to be that the body stands evenly, and using ponderation, the body-weight is transferred forward to take the opponent by surprise.</ref> so that you go through his armour; then stand your ground against him at the sword, if he has withdrawn and exposes the hands, to then cover your openings well with the Pavise. Step towards the back and so it misses your sword hand, moving up with a high thrust blow and step towards him, always keeping your openings covered quite well, and give him yet another high thrust blow under his neck, strengthened using your legs,<ref>''starck aus d[er] wag'', lit: “strong from the balance”, or in other words, with strength from your stance, or derived from the legs. A good example of kinetic linkage perhaps?</ref> and step back yet again and always perform [''treib'', drive] that as long as possible with low stabs and with high stabs, until you overcome him, so that he is hurt by you.</p>

| <p>[10] Note: here are described and illustrated in turn four techniques that the masters teach thereby for quite refined wrestling (''hubsche ringen'').</p>

<p>The first is for when you want to attack someone from the short or long sword, then parry his point strongly up away from his left side and step quickly towards him and reach in under the blade of his sword at the chest, and place in the left hand with the sword at his neck, that in your blade over across (''zwerch'') staying at his neck and during the stab, step behind him and place in your right leg behind his right leg and throw him onto his back over your right leg, using your left hand by his neck.</p>

|- 
| [[File:Cod.5278 181r-d.png|400px|center]]
| <p>[11] As then you want yet a high stab from the forearmed hand, so parry him then upwards and away, and whilst you parry, stab him with your point, with sword over his blade between his [blade] and his right arm. Step in quickly and displace (''versetz'') him and engage (''verbind'') his left hand and sword with your sword between your hands with the blade above his left hand and step in strongly towards him and press the hand in on his chest and head, so that you may comfortably come to wrestle or take his sword.</p>

|- 
| [[File:Cod.5278 181r-e.png|400px|center]]
| <p>[12] This is another technique for when you want smack someone up high, so parry him with the point near his point or push his point up strongly between the hands upwards with your blade and during this parry or shove upward, then let you hand, arm and sword go around and push in forcefully with the pommel under his eyes or his neck. And during this shove, step towards him to wrestle, with whatever you want.</p>

|- 
| [[File:Cod.5278 181r-f.png|400px|center]]
| <p>[13] The fourth technique will you yet smack someone up high from a forearmed hand: so parry him and push his point off upward and away. During this parry away, approach ever more strongly afterward into him and engage him with the blade by his left hand between your hand with the blade; and crowd him thus to his back and stab him at his left leg. If he prohibits this, then let your sword drop over the head and seize him strongly by the leg with both your hands and arms, and pull him up by the legs strongly and throw him on to his back.</p>

|- 
| [[File:MS B.26 020r-a.png|400px|center]]
| <p>[15] If you want to parry every stab and strike and to take his sword because you want to attack, then take your sword in both forearmed hands, and rest the blade in your left hand at your left leg over your knee, with the point thrust downwards and with your right hand by the hilt at your chest, so that the pommel goes underneath your right armpit. Stand thus in this manner when someone steps against you and wants to attack you with the pommel. So parry his strike and lift up the sword with both your hands and reach in to strike with the blade between your hands.</p>

<p>And during the parry, go so that you let go of your sword and seize his sword by the hand and hilt. Pull it from his hands so that you have a sword and he doesn’t—thus in this described lesson he may not come before you and keep his sword. Yet if you want to strike him with the pommel, or you want to parry the stab but cannot take his sword, then enter for some good wrestling and push onward as I have mentioned in the other techniques.<ref>This play has a resemblance to Kal, [[Page:Cgm 1507 22v.jpg|BSB Cgm 1507, 22v]], this seems to be Hundsfeldts fourth guard.</ref></p>

When you stand in front of someone, then hold your sword in a forearmed hand and place your left leg forward, laying the blade at the leg with the point at the knee, that the point stands going down towards the ground and the pommel goes upward to your right armpit.</p>

<p>And stand thusly when he steps in against you, and you want to attack, so parry away during the stab with the point and whilst you parry, then step forward quickly with the right foot inside his left leg. And during both the parry and step, twist your sword around in your hand so the pommel comes in at his neck and throw him over your right leg by his left leg with the pommel over his neck. But he pulls back his left leg, and thus steps backwards, then offer him a deadly (''mortlichen'') thrust (''stoss'') with the pommel under his eyes and shall yet then do so on the right as before. Also it must be performed quickly all-at-the-same-time (''miteinander'', together): the parry away, the step behind and the pommel to the neck, then you throw him.</p>

So look at where you’re striking a stab and reach down between you and him and strike and pierce him with your dagger behind his foremost-placed left leg at the knee, and pull him upward by the leg using your dagger; and meanwhile you push him backwards onto his back by his chest with your left hand. That must be done quickly, doing the stab strike and the leg lift together, and so you break his back and if you miss the stab, such that you don’t skewer (''schat''; Scharte) no flesh, then pull his leg up with the dagger blade since it’s stronger and wiser then if you lacerate.</p>

So keep your eyes on the point, and reach under through his leg and lift him up and with the left hand drop him on to the chest by his neck and break him down from above and lift him up underneath with the dagger and throw him against the ground.</p>

Then if he pulls his same foot and puts the other foot forward, then consider to stamp on this foot as well, and during the strike, then always push him from over away from you, and with [?] toes, then always strike his foremost leading heel away so that he falls.</p>

| <p>[49] Another good wrestle for when you have just taken hold of someone: thus seize him promptly and manipulate him around to cause him pain. And guard yourself throughout so that he cannot meanwhile throw you.</p>

<p>When he then his takes every risk, then [pull his] back in to you, and lift him up and strike him with one leg between his legs, and cradle him with your leg up. And throw him onto his back.</p>

| <p>[50] If you want to lift someone up so that he cannot throw you, then strike in your left leg behind around his right leg at the knee-bend. Thus, that both your knee bends inline with each other, and belly likewise by his, so he may not throw you from him. And wherever he wants to bend or push you, thus always put your available right leg forward, and allow yourself to push [brace]. </p>

<p>He thus wants to settle, and therefore wants to throw you: so push with the available foot into the seat so that he would be controlled, then he cannot freely throw you.</p>

And pull him with the same hand strongly toward you and with the right hand high by the shoulder, shove him strongly away from you so that he may not come toward you to wrestle.</p>

You then have right side low, such that you lay in at him with your head at his left shoulder and during this positioning, thus seize him out-around [his arm] with your arm over around his neck between your head and his head.</p>

<p>And hold the head under your left armpit to squeeze tightly. And you block low with the feet gathered to throw him, so he falls.</p>

And lift his leg up and pluck him down with the aforementioned arm over at this neck, and throw him.</p>

| <p>[62] If you want to take someone down with force on both sides, therefore you must exchange the feet, if he lies on your right side. Thus take your right foot and work with him so you keep between his legs. When you thereby come between, then strike your right leg around his left leg, and pull it towards yourself with your foot and shove him over away from you with the hands at the right side.</p>

<p>Thus he lands on his back, and you on top of him. You may not want the right leg with your right, so take your left leg and seize him high over, in between his legs and pull his left leg towards you and with the hands, throw him over yourself on your left side. Thus you come effortlessly on to his back.</p>

| <p>[63] A controlling wrestle, you may well speak to someone if you want, and offer your leg to his hands, and he thereby cannot throw you because he must similarly fall. Do it thus: lift your leg up and let him seize you by the bend of the knee, and during the hold, as he seizes you, then seize him with your right arm around his neck so that you keep his head under your armpit, and press the hold into you. And with the left hand seize him up over the [transcription reads ‘your’?] back by the belt, and if he still has you by the leg, then have yourself a hold with the left hand by the belt and with the right arm press the armpit tight towards you. Thus you press him by his neck so that he doesn’t know how to escape and will fall onto his stomach.</p>

<p>Then drop him with your hands in his hand, and weigh yourself down quickly and drive with your back and feet through his right armpit and with the right leg behind his right leg, and block [''sper'', ''sperren''] him with your right leg and hold him down in front of you with your hands. And lift his right leg up and throw him onto his back.<ref>This one reads in the first person, much akin to de’i Liberi, and is different in tone to the other instructions.</ref></p>
