The '''Hans Endter Fechtuch''' is a [[nationality::German]] [[fencing manual]] created by Hans Endter some time before 1562.{{cn}} It was previously held by the [[Germanisches Nationalmuseum]] in Nuremberg, Germany; it was lost during World War II, and its current location is unknown. The manuscript was analyzed by [[Carl Michael Wiechmann-Kadow]] in the 19th century, from whom we know that it is a fragmentary copy of [[Johannes Liechtenauer]]'s [[Recital]] on the longsword; Wiechmann-Kadow speculated that it was based on the [[Codex Danzig (Cod.44.A.8)|Codex 44.A.8]],{{cn}} but this may simply be because he was not aware any other copies of the Recital.
