  1. HABITUS ABSCISIONIS.
  2. HIC habitus removet superintorsiones ensis tui,
  3. atque eum ita tractes necesse est.
  4. Si contra hostem Athleticam exerceas ex inferis ictibus,
  5. vel si te in custodiam composueris,
  6. quae nobis Populus dicitur,
  7. et is ensem suum tuo superimponat priusquam ensem attollas,
  8. ensis tuus inferné remaneat sub ipsius gladio,
  9. verum acie brevi firmiter si sustuleris,
  10. et si is suppreßerit,
  11. tum retrorsum atque furtim ab ipsius ense tuo remoto,
  12. celeriter iuxta ensem hostis superné faciem sauciato.

Notes on streichen: Grimm, vol 19, col. 1228 2 b) streichen als ausdruck der fortbewegung fast jeder tierart. auch hier oft für den raschen lauf der tiere, γ) fliegen; anfangs 'sich rasch fliegend fortbewegen': explosive movement of animals 2) b) auf etwas aus sein und verstohlen oder forschend umherstreifen c) sich fortbewegen, streifen, mit dem nebensinn des lautlosen und zuweilen geisterhaften Grimm vol. 19, col 1193 2) b) sich (heimlich) davonmachen, sich verziehen, auch ausreiszen d) vereinzelt zur bezeichnung nicht optisch wahrnehmbarer erscheinungen; für einen akustischen vorgang

Also, this has to be carried out stealthily in order for it to work.



  1. Gesture of slicing off
  2. This gesture shifts the wrapping from above of your sword,
  3. and it is necessary to handle it thusly.
  4. If you employ Athletics against the enemy using the strikes from below[^2],
  5. or if you arrange yourself in the guard,
  6. which is called Popular/Poplar by us,
  7. and HE places his sword over yours before you lift up the sword[^1],
  8. your sword remains in contact below under his sword,
  9. truly, if you will strongly raise using the short edge,
  10. and if HE presses down,
  11. then your sword having been shifted backwards and stealthily[^3] away from his,
  12. quickly wound the face abovely next to the opponent's sword.
{| class="zettel"
93 Cut off the hard ones
 From below in both paths

This is a break against the over binding[1] of your sword. Execute it like this: When you fence with your opponent from rising cuts or from antagonizing cuts or if you lay against your opponent in the guard here called the fool, if they then fall upon that with their sword before your come up with yours, keep against their sword from below, and lift firmly upwards with your short edge. If they subsequently push down strongly, then with your sword against their sword's blade, sweep off backwards, away from their sword from below and immediately cut back in against their sword from above into their face.

  1. Transmutationem hac ratione exercebis.
  2. Cum ad hostem proceßeris,
  3. supernè contra ipsum porrectim ferias caput adpetendo,
  4. verum si is contrè feriat,
  5. ensem et non corpus appetens,
  6. tunc mucronem infernè transmittas,
  7. priusquàm ensem tuum adversarius contingat,
  8. versusque latus alterum pungas.
  9. at si id fieri observarit hostis,
  10. et removere impetum conabitur,
  11. rursum memineris ensem transmittere versus alterum latus,
  12. eum igitur habitum toties exercebis,
  13. quoties adversarius tuendo se[^1] ensis tuo obviarit utrinque.
  1. You will practice the change-across using this method.
  2. When you advance toward the opponent,
  3. you strike extended against his head attacking abovely,
  4. truly if HE strikes in opposition,
  5. attacking the sword and not the body,
  6. then send the point across below,
  7. before the adversary touches your sword,
  8. and you thrust against the other side.
  9. and if the enemy would have observed that this has taken place,
  10. and he will attempt to shift the forward attack,
  11. you will remember to send the sword across again in the direction of the other side,
  12. therefore employ this gesture
  13. as often as the adversary, protecting himself, opposes your sword on both sides.

  1. DE FENESTRA PATULA
  2. SUPRA commemoratum est,
  3. qua ratione in quatuor praedictas custodias ense regendo Athleticé te componere necesse sit.
  4. Nunc igitur intelligas eum habitum,
  5. quo de agimus,
  6. esse custodiam,
  7. qua tutißime consistere poteris,
  8. custodia autem ipsus mucro est,
  9. de acie longa,
  10. hic enim optima ensis pars est,
  11. et nobilissima :
  12. si qui igitur ex eo Athleticam rite exerceant,
  13. eò[^1] compellunt adversarios,
  14. ut etiam inuîti[^2] vulnerentur.










  1. REGARDING THE WIDE-OPEN WINDOW
  2. It was called to mind[^3] above,
  3. a method by which it is essential to compose yourself athletically, the sword having been directed in the four aforesaid guards.
  4. Now therefore you would understand that posture,
  5. from which we start/originate,
  6. to be the guard,
  7. in which you can most safely stand,
  8. moreover the guard itself is the point[^4],
  9. of the long edge,
  10. here namely is the best part of the sword,
  11. and the noblest:
  12. if any therefore practice properly out of the same Athletics[^5],
  13. consequently they round up the adversaries,
  14. in order that the reluctant will be wounded.

  1. Fenestram autem patulam hoc modo formabis.
  2. Si in conspectum adversarij ense rite[^6] gubernando processeris,
  3. exercens ictum quemcunque,
  4. sive supero sive infero,
  5. tum subinde mucronem longum brachijs porrectis pariter ex ictu,
  6. inijcias contra hostis faciem vel pectus,
  7. atque ea conditione eum urgebis ad se defendendum,
  8. vel ut ensem tuum in primo congreßu feriat,
  9. id igitur si fecerit,
  10. acies ensis tui longa acriter eius ense inhaereat ;
  11. atque interim animo forti et indefesso diligenter perspicias,
  12. quos habitus adversarius exercere velit,
  13. si ab ense tuo receßerit hostis,
  14. tu mucrone subsequutus,
  15. visum vel pectus eius adpetito.
  16. Sin vero ex primi congreßus coruscatione alterum latus tuum ferire conetur,
  17. rursus firmiter brachia adversarij proscindas,
  18. atque contra eius caput naviter laborato.
  19. Verum si adversarius neque ab ense tuo recedere,
  20. neque latus alterum ferire voluerit,
  21. tum utitor duplationibus vel alijs quibusuis habitibus iuxta quod sentias eum fortiter vel infirmiter tenere ensem.


  1. On the other hand, you will form the wide open window in this way.
  2. If, in view of the adversary, you moved forward, the sword being properly directed,
  3. employing whatever stroke,
  4. whether from above or from below,
  5. then immediately after the long point, the lower arm having been extended equally from the strike,
  6. you strike against the face or the chest of the enemy,
  7. and, in this deep thrust, you press him hard in the attack up to having defended himself,
  8. or he will strike your sword in the first approach,
  9. therefore, if he would do this,
  10. the long edge of your sword would stick fiercely to his sword ;[^7]
  11. and in the meantime, you would diligently observe with the strong and unwearied mind,
  12. what gesture the adversary wants to practice,
  13. if the enemy withdraws from your sword,
  14. with your sword following,
  15. seek his face or chest.
  16. But if in truth he attempts to strike your other side from the first flashing approach,
  17. you would strongly cut the arm of the adversary in turn,
  18. and work diligently against his head.
  19. Truly if the adversary neither withdraws from your sword,
  20. nor does he want to strike the other side,
  21. then use doubling or another from whatever gesture close to[^8] that which you perceive/feel him to hold his sword strongly or weakly.
[110v.2] Item das Sprechfennster mach also. Wann du mit Dem zufechten zum mann geest. mit welchem haw du dann an In kompst. Es sey ain Ober oder ain Vnnder haw. so lass Im den Ort alweg Lanng auss den Armen. mit dem haw einschiessen zum gesicht oder der Prust. damit zwingstu In daz er muosz versetzen oder anbinnden.

So schneid Im starckh vber die Arm. vnnd arbait Im oben zum kopf / oder wil er sich vonn schwert nit abziechen / noch vmbschlagen. So arbait mit dem Duplieren oder sunnst mit andern stucken / darnach als du In entpfindest. ob er starck oder schwach am Schwert ist.
