Hans Talhoffer/Complete

This page compiles all manuscripts known to be personally created by Hans Talhoffer into a single composite (plus the Ambraser Codex, which was previously thought to be a personal creation). The order of plays is somewhat arbitrary in places, but it should give a good sense of the sweep of the master's work.

Dueling Introduction

Images	Draft Translation Copenhagen Version by Jeffrey Hull	Gotha Version (1443) by Dierk Hagedorn	Vienna Version (1450s) by Brian Hunt	Königseggwald Version (1450s) by Dierk Hagedorn	Berlin Version (1450s) by Dierk Hagedorn	Copenhagen Version (1459) by Dieter Bachmann	Munich Version (1467) by Gustav Hergsell
	Here finds one written of judicial combat Thus what now be decreed as forbidden of all combatants. So by and by, it has become the custom of kaisers and kings, princes and lords, to whom one likens himself and emulates, that one is obliged to fight, especially regarding several causes and articles which are written down hereafter.					[8r] hie vint man geschriben von dem kempfen Item wie daz nun sy daz die die decretaleß kempf verbieten, So hat doch die gewonhait herbracht von kaisern und künigen fürsten und hern noch gestatten und kempfen laussen, und darzu glichen schierm gebent, und besunder und umb ettliche sachn und artikeln, alß her nach geschriben staht.
	Yet firstly this – Nobody is happy when one of his comrades cuts him up with loud words. He who would have at dueling with such a comrade, indeed he is within his rights and may well-fight him if he would. Thus dueling is wantonness.					Item zu dem ersten maul daz im nymant gern sin Eer laut abschniden mit wortten ainem der sin genoß ist Er wolte Er hebat mit im kempfen wie wol er doch nit recht wol von im kem ob er wolte und darumb so ist kämpfen ain muotwill
	Now those aforesaid causes and articles are seven, wherefor a man has duty to fight: Thus the first is murder. The second is treason. The third is heresy. The fourth is becoming an urger of disloyalty to one’s lord. The fifth is betrayal in strife or otherwise. The sixth is falsehood. The seventh is using either a maiden or lady.					Item der sachen und ardickelen sind siben Darumb man noch pfligt zu kempfen Item daz erst ist mortt Daz ander verräterniß Das dritt ketzery Daz vierd wohher an sinem herrn trulos wirt Daz fünfft umb fanknuß in striten oder sunsst Daz sechst um valsch Daz sibent da ainer junckfrowen oder frowen benotzogt
	That is why one man challenges another to duel. Such a man shall come before court and shall lay down his case through his own advocacy. Therefor he who accuses shall name the man by baptized name and surname. At the appointed hour it is right that he who calls for the tribunal also complains to three tribunes after the accused comes – unless either one comes not and answers for himself. Yet nobody of one’s ilk may do so, for truly one may answer better for himself. Then the accuser proves his need be just and right. So shall the man under accusation, as much as his accuser, comprehend and likewise this helps the land. Only after all the testimony is done shall verdict be rendered.					Item spricht ain man den andern kempflich an, der sol komen für gericht und sol durch sinen fürsprechen sin sach für legen, darumb er in denn an kagt und sol den man nennen mit dem touff namen und zuo namen. So ist recht, daz er in für gericht lad und in dry stund beklag uff dryen gerichten nach ain ander. kumt er denn nit und veranttwurt sich nach nymant von sinen wegen, so mag er sich fürbaß nit mer veranttwurten, [8v] er bewyse dann Ehafte nott als recht sy, so sel man in verurtailen alß fer in daz sin bott innerhalb landes begriffen hant. Je dar nach, alß die ansprach ist gegangen, darnach sol daz urtail ouch gan.
	Thus he who was challenged, he comes singularly before the three tribunes to respond and gainsay. Therefor the man who was challenged, he speaks thus that he be blameless and he repeats that the accusations be not true and thereover he would honour with struggle upon that knowledge, as then be right for and required by the land wherein this be and so thereupon is dealt his training-time. So he is dealt six weeks and four days from this tribunal for his training time. Thereupon is also dealt that the men shall struggle as is customary and right in the land. Thus the two men pledge willingly to go before court and struggle against each other – each also with about six weeks of trainingtime in peace, during which either or both are banished if someone breaks peace – thus not until when it is agreed upon as right by the judge.					Item der da kempflich angesprochen wirt uff den dryen gerichten und er ainost zuo der antwort kumpt und leugnot darum man in an gesprochen hat und spricht er sy des also unschuldig und der sag uff in daz nit war sy und daz wöll er widerumb mit kempfen beherten und uff in daz wysen alß denn recht sy un dem land darinn eß sy und forttert dar über mit urtail seinen lertag, so werdent im sechß wochen ertailt zu sinem lertag und vier tag von dem gericht werdent im auch ertailt, daruff sie kempfen süllent alß in dem land gewonhait und recht ist. Item versprechent sich zwen man willkürlich gen einander ain kampfez vor gericht, den git an auch sechs wochen lertag und sol in frid bannen baiden, und wolcher under den den frid brech, uber den richtet man on den kampf alß recht ist.
	How one may lawfully meet the other. Thus is one man challenged to fight by another man. The man said to be not as good by the other – he may with right meet that other, if he will. Or if a man would be said or become spurious, then he may instead disregard the duel. Thus indeed the noble challenge the craven to dueling – so may the craven not well disregard that.					wie ainer dem anderen mit recht ußgan mag Item ist daz ein man kempflich angesprochen wiert von aim der nit alß guot ist alß er, dem mag er mit recht uß gan ob er wil oder ob ain man echtloß gesagt würde oder worden wer, dem mag man ouch des kampfes absin. Item spricht aber der edler den mindern an zu kempfen, so mag der den minderen nit wol absin.
	Thus why indeed two men may not combat one another; though whichever among them, of the two, may well want to meet the other: Thus these two men are intent to duel – except they who are within five places of kinship, they may not rectify with one another by dueling; which seven men must swear, who may be of either the paternal or maternal half of either man’s family.					[9r] Item wie aber zwen mann nit mit ainender mügent kempfen und wolcher wil under den den zweye dem andern wol uß gan mag Item wenn zween mann ?gesinnt sind biß uff die fünffte sipp oder näher die mügent durch recht nit mit ein ander kempfen und des müssn siben man schwern die die vatter und muotter halb mäge sind.
	Thus how one or the other may disregard the duel, if he has such a handicap as written and stated here: Thus if a lame man, or one who has bad eyes, becomes challenged to duel. Yet if he may well-manage somehow to meet the sound one, it be then the wise decree to make this person on par with the other; and that wise decree must be done upon their oath; such that just as well the lamed or poorly sighted man thus may well win instead of the other one in any duel of theirs.					Item wie aber ainer dem anderen kampfes absin mag mit solichem gelimpf alß hie geschribn stät Item ob ain lamer man oder einer der böse ougen hett und kampfes an gesprochen wirt der mag sich der auch wol behellffen und dem gesunden usgan, eß sy denn daz wyse lüt daz gelich nach der ?person machen und daz müessent wyß lüt uff ir eid tun und daz also glich machen. Es mag auch der lam oder mit den bosen ougen wol einen an ir statt gewinnen der für iro ainen kempfe.
	When thus the six weeks are past and the last day is come, then the judge has summoned them, whereupon shall be combat. So shall they both come before the judge with such training and in such respect as the customs and law teach in the land wherein the duel shall be; or accordingly as they have otherwise willingly agreed and so forth.					Item wenn also die sechß wochen uß sind und der letst tag komen ist den in der richter beschaiden haut daruff kempfen sullen, so sullen sie beide für den richter komen mit solichem ertzögen und in solich acht alß die gewonheit und das recht lert in dem lande dar inn sie kempfen sullen oder nach dem alß sie mit einander gewillkürt habent Item etc. -
	Thus so there, the complainant shall swear that he therefor has cause for fighting the other; and that he has deemed the other man guilty. And then shall the judge assign a ring and “grit-wardens” and verdict; and counsel wise decrees according to the customs of the land; whereupon the day in the ring arrives for the verdict. One erring man vanquished as honour demands; which he shall take as proof and as rightful / lawful.					Item so soll da der cleger schweren daz er der sach darum er dem ainen man zugesprochen haut schuldig sy und denn so sol man in ainen ring machen und grieß wartten und urttail geben [9v] nach wyser lute raut und nach des landeß gewonhait. Und wer uff den tag in den ring nit kumpt den urttailt man sigeloß in irre denn Ehafte nott die sol er bewysen alß recht ist -
	Here is stated how one shall hold oneself when the combatants are come into the ring upon the appointed hour, at which time one thus shall duel the other adversarily: When the combatants are thus come into the ring, then the judge of that hour shall stare at all there; and advise that hiding is forbidden, by health and wealth; and that he shall not allow one or the other to be aided by someone else; thus shall each both do combat exclusively; so may the judge intimidate any rabble.					Hie staut wie man sich halten sol wenn die kempfer in dem ring komen sind uff die stund und uff die zit so man pheindiglich kempfen sol WEnn die kempfer also in den ring komen sind So sol der richter von stund an alle stür und ler vestecklich verbieten by lyb und guot und sol nicht gestatten daz man einem für den andern nicht zulege und sel inß beiden machen so er imer gelichest mag ungenerde.
	That which is lawful if one of the combatants flees out, or becomes driven out, of the ring: Thus whichever combatant comes out of the ring, before then the duel has its deadly ending, because he becomes knocked out of the ring by the other or he flees thereout, or however else he comes thereout; or he admits that the other man’s position regarding the cause for challenge is right – then shall that man be adjudged vanquished, or otherwise slain and killed; for another man has conquered him. Then a man shall rectify indeed as is lawful and customary in the land. And thereby they have battled one another.					Das ist was recht wer ob der kempfer ainer uss dem ring fluch oder getriben wurd Item wolcher kempfer uss dem ring kumpt Ee denn der kampf ain ende haut Er werde daruß geschlagen von dem andern oder fluche daruß oder wie er daruß käme oder aber ob er der sache vergicht darum man in denn mit recht an gesprochen haut, den sol man sigeloß urttailen. Oder wolcher den andern erschlecht und ertötett der haut gesiget. Dem sol man aber richten alß des landes gewonhait und recht ist darumb sie dem mit ainander gekemppffet hand.

	Now mark this bond that you need to understand: Thus firstly you should know well the master who will teach you; that his art be right and protective; and that he be pious / sober; and that he not embezzle you; and that he not shorten / beguile the lore; and that he wits to broaden the arsenal wherewith he will battle. However – should that master not accept that, swearing upon his profits ingratiatingly and his prejudices devotedly and thus shall his ilk become masters because of him – then swear neither to further nor to teach his so-called art.	[27r] [In a banner:] Meister seyt mir gar wilkum				[10r] Nun merck uff dissen punten der ist notturfftlich zu uerstend Item des ersten so soltu den maister wol erkennen der dich lerren wil dz sin kunst recht und gewer sy und dz er frum sy und dich nit veruntruwe und dich nit verkürtz in der lerr und wiß die gwer zü zerbraitten da mit er kempfen wil. Och sol er den maister nit uff nemen er schwer im dann sin frumen zwerbent und sin schaden zwendent deß glich sol er dem maister wider um sweren sin kunst nit witter zleren.
	Here heed the master: Thus the master, who has a student to teach, he shall wit that he recognise well the man whom he will teach; whether he be weak or strong and if he be coxcombraging or gentle-minded; whether he has good breathing / endurance or not; and whether he may work heartily. So when you the master have well-recognised him as into the lore and what work he is able to do, thereafter you must teach the student such that it avails him against his foes. Yet the combatant and the master shall guard that they let no man see them nor also the arsenal with which they work. And they both shall guard their doings from much of society; and say little of the fighting, so that no notice is made thereof.					Hie merck uff den maister Item der maister der ain understat zu leren, der sol wißen daß er den man wol erken, den er lerren wil, ob er sie schwach oder starck, und ob er gäch zornig sy oder senftmüttig, och ob er gütten auttem hab oder nit, och ob er arbaitten müg in die in die ?harr; und wenn du inn wol erkunet haust in der lerr, un wz arbait er uermag dar nach müstu in lerren dz im nütz ist gen sinen vind.

	About patronage: How the combatant and the master want to relate: Remit the fee and reciprocate. What be his nature? If he be strong or weak, if yet he be coxcomb-raging or not; and how his top heats up if someone would quarrel or fight. It is also needful to wit by the master who teaches him: That the man strives to set himself aright.					von kuntschafft wie der kempffer und der maister kuntschafft möchte hon zu rem widertail, wz sin wesen wer, ob er sy strarck oder swach, ob er och sy gechzornig oder nit, und wie sin touff nam hieß, ob man wölt dar uß bracticiern oder rechnen.

	When now the combatant is taught and shall go within the barriers: So firstly, when he shall fight, accordingly shall he hear a priest say mass, in honour of Our Lady Mary and of Saint George patron of knights, and the priest shall bless him in the name of Saint John of the gospel, with which the combatant agrees. Thereafter the master shall try earnestly to advise the combatant one last time; whereupon the combatant shall stay; and shall fathom nothing, yet focus upon his foe and earnestly look at him.

	Mark the presentation when one thus comes within the barriers: So shall he make one cross with the right foot and one cross with the right hand at his breast and shall sign in the name of the Father and Son and the Holy Ghost. The grit-wardens bearing staves or spears take the men in and present them and they turn round in the Sun. So then shall each combatant bid well the witnessing princes and lords; and they stand around the circle, as each bids God would help him and would give him victory over his foe, as He has truth and right.

	Thereafter shall one sit down in the chair: When he is now seated, so shall someone overspan him with a tent, and his bier is behind him at the barriers, and his arsenal is well-arrayed and is lawful and ready for his needs / as required by court.

	The grit-wardens or armigers: The master and grit-wardens should heed the judge, or whomever else then as agreed previously.

	The first rush with pavise and sword according to the Swabian tradition. Here I stand openly in the Swabian manner. Like one in a fencing hall.

	Seeking there, behind / from behind the pavise. This one then means to turn the shield and cut. Thus he brings his sword between the shields and he tries to stand just as strongly.

	Out of the charge, thus I kick the shield from you and achieve my thrust at you.						[68v] Vsz dem anlouffen So Tryt Ich den schilt von dir vnd hab myn Stich volbracht an dir.
	There I displace with strength (opposition), meaning to prevent your cut and thrust. This one has turned around the shield. Note this.						[69r] Da tun Ich versetzten mit Sterckin wyl ich dir din höw vnd Stich letzen. Der hatt den Schilt verkert. Das merck.
	Thus I let go of my shield to drop it and cut into the opening. This one meant to thrust between the shields.						[69v] So lausz ich mynen schilt fallen vnd how zu der blessin. Der hatt wollen zwüschen Schilt Stossen.
	However, here is a finish. Thus this one lets his shield drop and grasps him by the elbow and thrusts the sword across at him.						[70r] Hie Ist aber ain end. So latt aber der sinen schilt och Fallen vnd ergryfft In by den Elbogen vnd Stoszt Schwert durch In.
	Thus he means to hammer the shield and sword into him and bind behind if he wants to find the opening. This one stands in his guard.						[70v] So wyll der Schilt und Schwert ynschlahen vnd hinderbinden ob er In möcht blos finden. Der statt In siner versatzung.
	He has drawn me to that hit, he outsmarted me with that. Here I have drawn his hit that he let fall and I have followed with the thrust towards him.						[71r] Er hatt mir gezucht das treffen, damit er thut mich Effen. Hie hon ich Im gezuckt sin Treffen das er hatt gefelt und hon Im hachgerayszt mit dem Stick.
	Thus he examines the thrust, and does not allow him to come around it. This one takes the sword and shield together from the "Bochen"(guard) if he wants to come at him therein from above.						[71v] So hatt er den Stosz vernomen, vnd latt In nit dartzu komen. Der hatt vsz dem bochen Schwert vnd schilt zemen genomen ob er Im möcht oben hinyn komen.
	Then I am closely between the shield and the sword, so that I can come at your head. As I have twisted the cut, I am undone.						[72r] Da bin Ich zwüschen Schilt vnd Swert gedrungen, das ich dir zum houpt bin komen. Als Ich hon gehowen geschrenckt Da Ist mir mysse lungen.
	He means to cut with twisting and striding. Here mark that I have drawn my shield in and thrust in across at his leg.						[72v] Mit schrencken vnd Schryten wyl er howen. Hie Merck wie ich das main das ich hon gezuckt vnd Stich in durch sin hain.
						[116v] [No text]
	The stance in the open guard. Concealed in this stance, he shifts the sword into the left hand and he thrusts over the shield.					[117r] [No text]	[73r] Der Statt in der versatzung fry. In dem stand verborgen wechselt er das Swert In die lincken hand vnd ersticht In übern schilt.
	Thus, in an open stance I am come around with my hand. That I may be well thought of, I have cut with twisting.						[73v] In ainem fryen Stand So bin Ich komen vmb myn hand. Das mag Ich wolgedencken das ich hon gehowen mit Schrencken.
	This one stands in the stance in which this one arrives around his hand. Again, this one means to turn against the shield if he wants to find his opening.						[74r] Der stant In dem stand dar Inn der kam vmb Sin hand. Aber wyl der vber den schilt winden, ob er in möchte blosz finden.
	The kick and jugular-thrust. Here we both stand with legs exposed. Again, this one may mean to throw the shield therein and thrust him away from himself.				[69r] der drit vñ stich dar vss	[98v] Der drit und gurgel stich	[74v] Hie stand wir bayd blos. Aber der mag den schilt wol hinyn werffen vnd In von Im stossen.
	From the throw, he thrusts him away from himself and from the thrust he must stoop to hew him in the head and in the back.						[75r] Da hatt er In von Im gestossen vom wurff vnd vom stosz musz er Sich bucken des how Ich In In Kopff vnd In Rucken.
	In this one, I mean to bind and wrench with the shield and sword. Thus this one pushes him away behind himself and draws a cut from him and lets the shield drop and kicks from here and hews him in the neck.						[75v] Der hat wöllen mit schilt vnd Swert Inbinden vnd Rysen. So hatt der hinder sich geruckt vnd Im vsz sinem Inschlahen gezuckt vnd latt den schilt fallen vnd Tryt herfur vnd howt Im In sinen halsz.
	This one meant to angle the shield over and in. Then one ought to behold the shield and the stab-across ought to be made.						[76r] Der hatt wöllen den schilt oben hinyn wünden. Den schilt solt Man ynen Sehen vnd der stich geschrenck solt Sin gescheen.
	Here I displace with might and remain standing and have my strong thrust abiding. As this one hammers in his shield and then means to make him defenseless and then to strike the shield from him that is broken to him.						[76v] Hie hon ich versetzt mit macht vnd bin beliben ston vnd hon mynen starchen stich getan. Als der sinen schilt Ingeschlagen hatt vnd wolt den wörlousz machen vnd den schilt hon von Im geschlagen das ist Im gebrochen.
	Thus this one steps forth and grasps him about the neck and throws him with the shield. As this one strikes him with the shield.						[77r] So ist der für dretten vnd nempt In by dem halsz vnd wurfft In mit dem Schilt. Als der den schilt In geschlagen halt.
	This is the piece completed, just as it was described before.						[77v] Da Ist das stuck volbracht wie vor geschriben statt.

	This one binds up between the shield and the man and then strikes the "Chop"about his feet and means to wrench. From thence, he comes at me between me and the shield, for which I must suffer.					[122r] [No text]	[78r] Der hatt In gebunden zwischen den Schilt vnd den man vnd hatt Im den hacken geslagen vmb sinen fusz vnd wyl Ryssen. Darumb er mir ist komen zwüschen mich vnd den schilt Des ich billich engült.
	Thus, from the bind, one may wrench to his leg from below and above.					[122v] [No text]	[78v] Von dem anbinden So mag man vnden vnd oben Ryssen zu baiden syten.
	This is just like the other one, only he just might come over. Again, out of the bind above, or "Bochen"(guard), thus each may grasp the other’s shield and wrench it from him if he may.						[79r] Es ist aim als dem andern vnd oder oben wie er des kamen mag. Aber vsz dem obern anbund oder bochen So mag ain yeder dem anndern griffen In sinen schilt vnd von Im Rysen ob er mag.
	From the step-in and grasp, just as it was described before, neither desires it to go to wrestling.						[79v] Vsz dem Infallen vnd griffen wie vor geschriben statt welicher denn nit wöll lon so mag es wol an ain Ringen gon.
	Regard this correct piece as now this one means to cut and thus he stands firmly and allows the right hand to go from the shield and grasps his elbow and thrusts him away from himself that he turns himself around. Then he strikes the shield and binds it behind him.						[80r] Nun Merck das stuck recht als Nun der hatt wollen schlahen und bochen So ist er vast gestanden vnd latt die Rechten hand vom Schilt vnd gryfft dem In den Elbogen vnd stosst In von Im das er sich verkertt. Hie hatt er dem den Schilt Ingeslagen vnd hinterbunden.
	As this one thrusts upon the elbow, as it was described before. Thus turn yourself completely around and thrust the shield into him, and then the piece and break are completely at an end.						[80v] Als der den gestossen by dem Elbogen hatt als vor geschriben statt. So kert sich der gar vmb vnd stoszt den Schilt In den vnd ist stuck vnd bruch volbracht zum end.
	In the charge, thus he steps behind him and breaks him in the high (guard) and he dreads getting thrown. However, that is a strong charge, and from the charge thus binds him behind and gets him in the throw, or he must become defenseless.						[81r] In dem anlouffen So hat er In hinder Tretten vnd bracht In In die höin vnd fürcht er werd geworffen. Das ist aber ain starcher anlouff vnd, vsz dem anlouff So hatt er In hinderbunden vnd wirt In werffen oder er mus wörlousz werden.
	Here he breaks him to the trap just as it was described before. However, finish him off with the open thrust.						[81v] Hie hatt er In bracht zum fall wie vor geschriben statt. — Vnd macht aber ain end mit dem fryen stosz.
	Here they both stand in the inverted bind, about to strike and to threaten each other.						[82r] Hie stand sie bayd zu dem verkerten anbund Inn zuslahen vnd ain annder Nöten.
	Still, thus this one means to give the strong to his weak; closely mark his struggle. In the "Bochen"(guard) thus each willingly binds the other loose, so that he comes at him behind the the shield and makes him defenseless.						[82v] Doch so wyl der geben die schweche In die sterckin och sin arbait daby merckt. In dem bochen so bend yeglicher den andern gern losz vnd das er Im kem hinder den Schilt vnd machte In wörlouss.
	Here he achieves the strong to his weak and may thrust or wrench. This has lost his strength and gets pulled down.						[83r] Hie hatt er die schwechin volbracht In die sterckin vnd mag stossen oder Rysen. Da hett der die sterckin verlorn vnd wirt nyder geryssen.
	Here the piece is completed to the finish, just as it was described before.						[83v] Hie ist das stuck volbracht wie vor geschriben statt zum end.
	Now allow yourself the plight and go under his weakness and hook him by the foot and wrench. Again, from this bind, another difficulty: thus he has penetrated from above.						[84r] Nun lant sich der Nöten vnd gatt vnden In die schwech vnd Nempt Im den fusz vnd Ryszt. Aber vsz dem anbinden vnd ainander Nöten So hat er den oben übertrungen.
	This shows them both in the open danger-stance, from out of it one may look for and find all the advantages and charges and disarms and a lot of handsome work that one may make from it, thus one otherwise has no weapon except the shield. I await the ending.						[84v] Das sind die zwen fryen Notstend dar vsz man suchen mag und finden allen vortail vnd Innlouffen vnd werlousz machen vnd vil hüpscher arbait die man darusz machen mag so man sust dehain wer hatt denn den schilt.

	And this one draws the blow to him and thrusts at him above the shield. I get the strike at his throat. Here he meant to bind in the "Bochen"(guard). Turn the page to find the piece completed.						[85r] Vnd hatt Im der das treffen gezuckt vnd Im oben In den Schilt gestochen. Wurd mir der schlag an sin halsz. Hie hatt wollen der anbinden vnd bochen. Ker vmb so vindestu das Stuck volbracht.
	Here the piece gets completed, just as it was described before.						[85v] Hie würt das stuck volbracht als vor geschriben Statt.

	The beginning stance in which the man and wife shall fight each other. The woman is in the open stance and means to strike and has a stone in the veil weighing four or five pounds. Thus, he stands in the pit up to the waist and his club is as long as her veil is from her hand.						[122v] Da Statt Wie Man vnd Frowen mit ainander kempffen sollen vnd stand hie In dem anfanng.

	Throw foe down as you lunge your dagger through and pull it toward yourself to counter his over-stab. As this one thrusts over towards him, thus this one breaks with the left arm and seizes him with the dagger between the legs and draws him in and throws him away from himself.
