The MS KK5013 is a German fencing manual probably created in the 1430s.[1] The original currently rests in the holdings of the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna, Austria. The MS KK5013 is part of the Gladiatoria group, a series of several German manuscripts from the 15th century that share the same art style and cover the same material, and it seems to have created in the same workshop as the New Haven version (GN).

The core of the Gladiatoria group is a series of armored fencing pieces following the traditional progression of a judicial duel: beginning with spears and small shields called ecranches, moving to swords, then employing daggers on foot and on the ground. (Traditional dueling would often begin on horseback before going to foot combat, and the ecranche is designed for mounted fighting, but Gladiatoria seems to skip that stage entirely.) The Gladiatoria manuals are interesting texts in that they seem to be contemporary with the tradition of Johannes Liechtenauer, but not directly influenced by it.[citation needed]
