85v a notes

• Note that the zufechten isn't right at the beginning in the german, but in the latin it's nearly in the middle (thanks to the weird first sentence)
• Latin has ignored the "Break the guard" idea entirely
• from Vienna 93r

  IS ictus custodiam de die. id est eu[m] qui iam describetur, ictum repellit, insuper et reliquos, qui de die è supernè deorsum feriuntur. Transversarium...

• the way the title is written creates a rhyming pair, but maybe that's just an accident of declension.

85v b

85v b Latin

Sin vero is te p[re]venerit, tu[m] pede dextro addita pr[a]escripta modò defensione ictum hostile[m] devita[n]s in latus dextr[um] tuu[m] prosilias, p[re]dictu[m]q[ue] locu[m] tra[?]nsversario ictu co[n?]cutias.

85v b English

But if, in contrast, he arrives before you, then (the right foot having been inserted as directed [above] only for defense), you leap forward into your right side avoiding the strike of the enemy, and, as said in the preceding place, you crash together in the transverse strike.
