The '''Gladiatoria Group''' is a series of several [[century::15th century]] [[nationality::German]] manuscripts that share the same art style and cover the same material—various types of [[armor]]ed fencing. These are interesting texts in that they seem to be contemporary with the tradition of [[Johannes Liechtenauer]], but not directly influenced by it. Gladiatoria is thus one of very few glimpses into the characteristics of a potentially independent German martial tradition.

The core of the Gladiatoria group is a series of plays of [[armored fencing]] following the typical progression of a [[judicial duel]]: beginning with [[spear]]s and small [[shield]]s called ''ecranches'', moving to [[sword]]s, then employing [[dagger]]s on foot and [[wrestling|on the ground]]. (Traditional dueling would typically begin on horseback before going to foot combat, and the ''ecranche'' is designed for mounted fencing, but Gladiatoria seems to skip that stage entirely.) The diverse manuscripts in the group sometimes describe other kinds of fighting as well, such as the [[sword and buckler]] of the [[Wolfenbüttel Picture Book (Cod.Guelf.78.2 Aug.2º)|Cod. Guelf 78.2 Aug. 2º]] or the [[longshield]] of the [[Gladiatoria (MS Germ.Quart.16)|MS Germ. quart. 16]], but these teachings lack some of the common elements of the core Gladiatoria complex and will not be covered on this page. They may be found on the individual manuscript pages.

There are currently five known versions of the Gladiatoria treatise, the [[Gladiatoria (MS U860.F46 1450)|New Haven]] (MS U860.F46 1450), the [[Gladiatoria (MS KK5013)|Vienna]] (MS KK5013), the [[Gladiatoria (MS Germ.Quart.16)|Kraków]] (MS Germ. quart. 16, the only version with a title page), the [[Wolfenbüttel Picture Book (Cod.Guelf.78.2 Aug.2º)|Wolfenbüttel]] (Cod. Guelf 78.2 Aug. 2º), and the [[Cluny Fechtbuch (Cl. 23842)|Paris]] (MS Cl. 23842) versions. [[Hans-Peter Hils]] mentions a sixth lost manuscript identified as MS T in his edition of Gladiatoria,<ref>Hils, Hans Peter. "''Gladiatoria'': Über drei Fechthandschriften aus der ersten Hälfte des 15. Jahrhunderts." ''Codici Manuscripti'' 13. Verlag Brüder Hollinek, 1987. pp. 1-54. Print.</ref> but [[Dierk Hagedorn]] has since determined that this is the New Haven (which Hils did not have access to). Aside from these five, there are several other manuscripts that some scholars have ascribed to the group. These include the the [[Cod.11093]] and part C of the [[Bauman Fechtbuch (Cod.I.6.4º.2)|Bauman Fechtbuch]] (also known as [[pseudo-Gladiatoria]] for this reason). In each case, there are disqualifying factors that lead us to exclude them from the group, but additional research may reverse these decisions.

While the three oldest texts in the Gladiatoria complex present a fairly identical set of plays, the slightly later Wolfenbüttel version contains significantly more material, primarily in the dagger section. The origin of this additional material is unknown, and the text-less nature of that manuscript makes it difficult to place these plays in any sort of context.

== Treatise ==

As the oldest manuscript, the [[Gladiatoria (MS U860.F46 1450)|New Haven]] version would normally be used to set the order of plays. However, it has been extensively damaged and disordered during its history (and especially in the 20th century), and its current sequence of plays is the result of guesswork during a recent binding. Since the next two oldest versions, [[Gladiatoria (MS KK5013)|Vienna]] and [[Gladiatoria (MS Germ.Quart.16)|Kraków]], are in general agreement, they will be used to establish the order instead.

To illustrate the different amount of content in each manuscript, the New Haven illustrations are used whenever available. Plays in the Vienna version that are missing from New Haven are illustrated from that source. Illustrations from the Kraków version are only used for plays not present in both older manuscripts (presumably invented after they were created). Due to the fact that [[Wolfenbüttel Picture Book (Cod.Guelf.78.2 Aug.2º)|Wolfenbüttel]] and [[Cluny Fechtbuch (Cl. 23842)|Paris]] versions appear in mixed anthologies combining multiple sources, plays from these two that are not reflected in at least one other version will not be included below.

| <p>[1] Note the first play of the spear. When you initially enter the barricades and see your opponent, hold your buckler in your left hand and raise your spear [with the right hand] for a powerful downward thrust and see where you might hit him easiest.</p>

<p>Turn the spear with the iron towards the ground<ref>Lit: turn the iron below itself</ref> and deflect the thrust he wanted to direct at you with a strong blow. And when you deflect his thrust, aim for his left foot and thrust with force, using both hands.</p>

| <p>[2] Note the second play of the spear. If he foiled the thrust of your spear, draw your sword and hold it in your left hand, point down, awaiting his powerful thrust. Close in, grip your sword with both hands and keep him from getting to his sword, and see if you can part him from his spear.</p>

| <p>[3] Note the third play of the spear. If he grabs his spear with all his might and prepares for a thrust to your face, set your spear on the ground in front of you, point up, and deflect his thrust with an upward blow. This way you avert his thrust on your face. Now change your position<ref>Lit. "turn your place"</ref> and thrust at him as best as you can.</p>

When he holds his buckler in his left hand and raised his spear above his head, ready to throw, and wants to throw it at you, put your sword and buckler together in your left hand and watch out for his throw. Catch it with your buckler, raise your spear above your head and throw it swiftly at where you might hit him. This way you are free to get at your sword.</p>

<p>When he throws his pommel at you, keep your buckler close to you and watch out for the throw. Hold your spear in your right hand and prepare to thrust, to stop him from closing in if it is his intention.</p>

| <p>[1]<ref>Folio 8 appears to have been added to the Kraków version at the end of its production. It's been moved to the beginning of the sword section because it appears to be intended as an introductory note, inserted between the first and second play because that's as close to the beginning of the section as the layout of the manuscript would allow.</ref> Note the beginning of the technique that also derives from the four guards: When you want to do this seriously move your right foot forward and turn your pommel forward towards his face, thus you offer him an opening at your right armpit. If he means to seek or exploit your opening with a strong thrust then strike down with strength with your sword’s point. So you displace his thrust, and grab with the point from the outside in his left hollow of knee like you see it in the next picture. [Continued]</p>

| <p>[3] Note that now you have lost spears and shields: Take your sword at the armor-hand and wind it above your head as you have learned; this position leads to all the thrusts and strikes as you well know how to do them. Also, note if he wants to execute the technique against you and thrust from above strongly into your face, then take your sword for the full displacement and strike out his point with strength, and catch with your pommel in between his left hand and the sword and jerk hard towards you--thus you have warded off his thrust.</p>

| <p>[12] Note the tenth technique of the sword which is called ''straß der glider'':<ref>What is ''straß der glider''? It is likely ''glider'' is ''glieder'' from modern German, meaning "joints". While the use of ''straß'' (probably "road") is confusing here, the contextual use in this and the following plate suggest these to be a class of techniques attacking joints. Other texts (e.g., ''[[Bauman Fechtbuch (Cod.I.6.4º.2)|Bauman Fechtbuch]]'' fol. [[Page:Cod.I.6.4º.2 015r.jpg|15r]]) use the term ''Armbrüche'' (lit. "arm breaks") for joint locking techniques so this might represent a separate kind of attack, especially one intended to disarm an opponent.</ref> When one thrusts with full power and wants to drive the technique on the other then thrust your point towards the outside of his sword and drive through between his hands with your pommel and catch onto his right wrist and jerk towards you so that you break his arm or throw him as you see it in the picture above.</p>

| <p>[2] Here begin six thrusts of the dagger which lead to all the limb-wrestling, which leads to all techniques involved in the dagger, and the counter-responses that pertain to them. If he thrusts from above at your face with his dagger, then catch his right hand by the wrist in your left hand, and twist his arm outwards, thus countering his thrust. If you wish to bring him to wrestling, then release your dagger and grasp with your right hand from below on his right elbow and jerk inwards against the chest; thus you break his arm or he must fall. That is the first technique of the dagger as you see illustrated above.</p>
