The '''Codex 5278''' is a [[nationality::German]] manuscript created some time after 1428,<ref>The manuscript mentions a duel between Heinrich von Ramstein and Juan de Merlo which occurred on 12 December 1428; the [http://data.onb.ac.at/rec/AL00173264 library catalog] dates it to ca. 1420/25.</ref> consisting of a [[war book]] and a [[fencing manual]]. The original currently rests in the holdings of the [[Österreichische Nationalbibliothek]] in Vienna, Austria. The text is a compilation work including both a war book based on [[Konrad Kyeser]]'s popular treatise ''Bellifortis'' ("Battle Strength") and the oldest entry in the group of treatises sometimes called ''[[die Blume des Kampfes]]'' ("The Flower of Battle").<ref>The informal nickname "Die Blume des Kampfes" is simply a translation of the title of the Italian treatise "Fior di Battaglia"; the treatises themselves all appear to be untitled.</ref> ''Die Blume des Kampfes'' may be based on the tradition of 14th century Italian master [[Fiore de'i Liberi]], given that his works include considerable overlap in artwork and technique, but it is equally possible that they represent a separate transmission of an older tradition of which Fiore was himself an initiate.
