German

In allen winden

haw stich schnidt* lern finden**

haw stich oder schneÿd In allem treffen

den Maistern wiltu in effen

English

Cut, thrust slice in all windings,

learn to find

cut, thrust, or slice in every encounter

if you want to ape the masters.

• the two versions of 'schnitt/schneyd'could indicate imperatives vs nouns.
  • 'lern finden' could function as the imperative for both clauses, learn to find X in all winding and in all encounters/meetings of the blades

83r a Latin

Intorsiones so[l]lerter exercere noveris, Unaquaq[ue] .n.tribus

constat habitibus, hoc est, Ictu, Punctione, atq[ue] incisione, si igitur ijs uti volveris,

maxima cura sit, ut eas iuste et artificiosè exerceas, ne si pungendum sit, tu ferias,

neve pungas vel proscindas, si feriundum sit. his igitur si rite usus fueris, facile

cunctos, qui contra te certant, decipies, reliquas autem intorsiones in subseque[n]tibus,

et quot eorum sint habitus, reperies.

83r a English

Wrappings you will learn skillfully [through??] practice, it is agreed among everyone with regard to three things, which are Strike, Puncture, and Cutting, if therefore you wanted to use the same, of great concern would be that you would practice them rightly and skillfully, lest it be punctured, you should strike, and not puncture or gash, if he should be struck. Therefore if you had done these properly, all of them easily, those who contest against you, [whom?] you are deceiving, the remainder on the other hand the [action of] further wrapping in pursuit and however many would be their action, you will catch [them].

83r b Latin

De quatuor nuditatib[us].

Quum in conspectu[m] adversarij processeris, si quidem artificiose Athletica[m] voles exercere, feriundo ipsius ensem ne contingito, verum ex nuditatibus quatuor, unam observato: sunt autem ist[a]e, Una, latus dextrum, secunda sinistrum latus sup[er] cingulum, Reliqu[a]e, Latus dextrum et sinistrum infra cingulum, ear[um] igit[ur] si aliqua[m] [83v] elegeris, audacter quassato, neq[ue] cures, quibus contra te utat[ur] habitibus. Sed si se defenderit[^1] hostis ictus excipiendo, in tui defensione[^1] contra proximum nuditate[m] eius ferias, itaq[ue] corporis, non ensis rationem p[rae]cipuam habebis.

83r b English

About the four openings.

When you would proceed in the face of the adversary, if indeed you want to exercise skillful sport/athletics, you will not strike [imperative, fut] the sword of that one with striking/hitting, however, from the four openings, observe only: they are indeed those: one, the right side, second the left side above the belt, remaining, the right side and the left below the belt, therefore if you have advanced [or] selected any of them, [you should] batter audaciously, but also take care, for any who use the action against you. But if he defends himself[,] the strike/blow of the enemy having been received, you would thus strike in your defense against his closest opening, and so the body, you will not have the particular method of the sword.

Alternate last clause: you will have the particular method not of the swords

Notes:

• [^1]: defenderit is the equivalent of 'versetzt er', while defensione is used for 'in der versatzung'
