The Ortenburg Fechtbuch is a compilation of two German fencing manuals, one created in the late 1400s and the other dated 1515. It was once owned by the Counts of Ortenburg, but it was sold in the 1980s and its current location is unknown. Most knowledge about the manuscript comes from a 19th century library catalog[1] and from microfilm scans that Hans-Peter Hils obtained prior to the sale.
The first part of the Ortenburg Fechtbuch closely matches the contents of the second part of MS KK5126, a manuscript from the 1480s that is sometimes attributed to Paulus Kal since the first part is a copy of his treatise. A study of the text shows that it is not directly copied from that manuscript, though, and rather both were copied from a shared parent manuscript.[2]
The second part resembles the 1520s manuscripts of Jörg Wilhalm despite predating them (indicating that Wilhalm was probably not their author). Similar to the first part, this was not directly copied by Wilhalm for his works and instead both probably derive from an even earlier source.
