'''Nicolaus''' was a [[century::15th century]] German [[fencing master]], presumably from Augsburg.<ref>His work is only associated with treatises by Aurgsubrg residents.</ref> Nothing is known about this master outside of his treatise, but he seems to have been an initiate of the tradition of [[Johannes Liechtenauer]] (his treatise always appears coupled with a repetition of the grand master's [[Zettel|Record]]). On or around 2 July 1489,<ref>The date of the Visitation of Mary, the feast day mentioned in the Glasgow version of his treatise.</ref> he seems to have completed a brief treatise on fencing with the [[longsword]] apparently based on a version of the [[pseudo-Peter von Danzig]] gloss of Liechtenauer's Record. The original treatise is lost, but it was repeated in all five surviving copies of [[Jörg Wilhalm Hutter]]'s longsword teachings. Of these, three are repeated anonymously and only the [[Gregor Erhart Fechtbuch (MS E.1939.65.354)|Glasgow version]] is properly attributed.

== Stemma ==
 +
 
 +
Early on in its history, the prototype of the [[Pseudo-Peter von Danzig]] [[gloss]] seems to have split into at least three branches, and no definite copies of the unaltered original are known to survive. The gloss of [[Sigmund ain Ringeck]] also seems to be related to this work, due to the considerable overlap in text and contents, but it is currently unclear if Ringeck's gloss is based on that of pseudo-Danzig or if they both derive from an even earlier original gloss (or even if Ringeck and pseudo-Danzig are the same author and the "Ringeck" gloss should be considered a fourth branch).
 +
 
 +
Branch A, first attested in the [[Codex Lew (Cod.I.6.4º.3)|Augsburg version]] (1450s) and comprising the majority of extant copies, has more plays overall than Branch B but generally shorter descriptions in areas of overlap. It also glosses only Liechtenauer's Recital on long sword and mounted fencing; in lieu of a gloss of Liechtenauer's short sword, it is generally accompanied by the short sword teachings of [[Andre Lignitzer]] and [[Martin Huntsfeld]] (or, in the case of the 1512 [[Oplodidaskalia sive Armorvm Tractandorvm Meditatio Alberti Dvreri (MS 26-232)|Vienna II]], Ringeck's short sword gloss). Branch A is sometimes called the '''[[Lew]]''' gloss, based on a potential attribution at the end of the mounted gloss in a few copies. Apart from the Augsburg, the other principal text in Branch A is the [[Codex Speyer (MS M.I.29)|Salzburg version]] (1491), which was copied independently<ref>Both Augsburg and Salzburg contain significant scribal errors of omission that allow us to identify manuscripts copied from them.</ref> and also incorporates twelve paragraphs from Ringeck's gloss and nineteen paragraphs from an unidentified third source. Branch A was redacted by [[Paulus Hector Mair]] (three mss., 1540s), [[Maister Liechtenawers Kunstbuech (Cgm 3712)|Lienhart Sollinger]] (1556), and [[Fechtbuch zu Ross und zu Fuss (MS Var.82)|Joachim Meyer]] (1570), which despite being the latest is the cleanest extant version and was likely either copied directly from the original or created by comparing multiple versions to correct their errors. It was also one of the bases for [[Johannes Lecküchner]]'s gloss on the [[Messer]] in the late 1470s.
 +
 
 +
Branch B, attested first in the [[Codex Danzig (Cod.44.A.8)|Rome version]] (1452), is found in only five manuscripts; it tends to feature slightly longer descriptions than Branch A, but includes fewer plays overall. Branch B glosses Liechtenauer's entire Recital, including the short sword section, and may therefore be considered more complete than Branch A; it also differs in that three of the four known copies are illustrated to some extent, where none in the other branches are. Branch B is the one most commonly identified with '''pseudo-Danzig''', because it is entirely anonymous and lacks any clues for other attribution. The [[Goliath Fechtbuch (MS Germ.Quart.2020)|Krakow version]] (1535-40) seems to be an incomplete (though extensively illustrated) copy taken from the Rome,<ref>Zabinski, pp 82-83</ref> while [[Wilhalm/Sollinger Fechtbuch (Cod.I.6.2º.2)|Augsburg II]] (1564) collects only the six illustrated wrestling plays from the Krakow. The other substantial version of Branch B is the [[Paulus Kal Fechtbuch (MS KK5126)|Vienna]], which includes the mounted and short sword sections but omits the long sword in favor of Branch C. Most anomalous are the [[Glasgow Fechtbuch (MS E.1939.65.341)|Glasgow version]] (1508), consisting solely of a nearly-complete redaction of the short sword gloss which begins with seven paragraphs of unknown origin, and the [[Johan Liechtnawers Fechtbuch geschriebenn (MS Dresd.C.487)|Dresden version]], consisting of a redaction of the first half of the mounted fencing gloss which begins with four paragraphs from Ringeck. A final manuscript, the [[Falkner Turnierbuch]], is known to have once existed but seems to have been destroyed in the Siege of Strasbourg.
 +
 
 +
Branch C is first attested in the [[Paulus Kal Fechtbuch (MS KK5126)|Vienna version]] (1480s). It is unclear whether it was derived independently from the original, represents an intermediate evolutionary step between Branches A and B, or was created by simply merging copies of those two branches together. The structure and contents of this branch align closely with Branch B, lacking most of the unique plays of Branch A, but the actual text is more consistent with that of Branch A (though not identical). The other mostly-complete copy of Branch C is the [[Rast Fechtbuch (Reichsstadt "Schätze" Nr. 82)|Augsburg version II]] (1553), which was created by Paulus Hector Mair based on the writings of [[Antonius Rast]], and which segues into the text of [[Sigmund ain Ringeck|Ringeck]]'s gloss for the final eighteen paragraphs. A substantial fragment of Branch C is present in five additional 16th century manuscripts alongside the illustrated treatise of [[Jörg Wilhalm]]; one of these, [[Gregor Erhart Fechtbuch (MS E.1939.65.354)|Glasgow II]] (1533) assigns the text a much earlier origin, stating that it was devised by '''[[Nicolaüs]]''' in 1489. This branch has received the least attention and is currently the least well understood.
 +
 
 +
(A final text of interest is the gloss of [[Hans Medel|Hans Medel von Salzburg]], which was acquired by Mair in 1539<ref>Medel's section of the [[Hans Medel Fechtbuch (Cod.I.6.2º.5)|Cod. I.6.2º.5]] is internally dated on [[page:Cod.I.6.2º.5 21r.jpg|folio 21r]].</ref> and bound into the [[Hans Medel Fechtbuch (Cod.I.6.2º.5)|Cod. I.6.2º.5]] after 1566.<ref>The record of the [[Marxbrüder]] in the manuscript ends on [[page:Cod.I.6.2º.5 20r.jpg|folio 20r]] with the year 1566, so Mair couldn't have compiled it before then.</ref> Medel demonstrates familiarity with the teachings of a variety of 15th century Liechtenauer masters, and his text often takes the form of a revision and expansion of the long sword glosses of Ringeck and Branch C. Because of the extent of original and modified content, no attempt has been made on either of those pages to associate Medel's gloss with the sources he was copying from.)

Very little attention has been paid to this text until very recently, even though five of the seven known copies were identified at least as far back as [[Martin Wierschin]]'s 1965 catalog ''Meister Johann Liechtenauers Kunst des Fechtens'' ([[Wilhalm/Sollinger Fechtbuch (Cod.I.6.2º.2)|Augsburg Ⅰ]], [[Gregor Erhart Fechtbuch (MS E.1939.65.354)|Glasgow]], [[Jörg Wilhalm Hutters kunst zu Augspurg (Cgm 3711)|Munich Ⅰ]], [[Maister Liechtenawers Kunstbuech (Cgm 3712)|Munich Ⅱ]], and [[Paulus Kal Fechtbuch (MS KK5126)|Vienna]]). Of the remaining two, [[Rast Fechtbuch (Reichsstadt "Schätze" Nr. 82)|Augsburg Ⅱ]] was listed by [[Hans-Peter Hils]] in his 1985 update ''Meister Johann Liechtenauers Kunst des langen Schwertes'', and [[Künnst zu fechten vonn dem Lienhartt Sollinger (Cod.Guelf.38.21 Aug.2º)|Wolfenbüttel]] was identified in 2012 by [[Jay Acutt]].
 +
 
 +
In 2006, [[Carsten Lorbeer]], [[Julia Lorbeer]], [[Andreas Meier]], [[Marita Wiedner]], and [[Johann Heim]], working as part of the [[Gesellschaft für pragmatische Schriftlichkeit]], authored a complete transcription of the Vienna version as part of their [[Paulus Kal]] project (which was eventually posted on that site). In 2008, [[Filip Lampart]] and [[Martin Fabian]] transcribed [[Jörg Wilhalm Hutters kunst zu Augspurg (Cgm 3711)|Munich Ⅰ]] and posted it on Fecht-kunst.eu, and in 2009, [[Dierk Hagedorn]] likewise produced a transcription of Augsburg Ⅰ and posted it on Hammaborg (he eventually also re-transcribed the Vienna version in 2017); both of these transcriptions were made out of an interest in the teachings of [[Jörg Wilhalm]]. Finally, Augsburg Ⅱ was transcribed by [[Werner Ueberschär]] and posted on the Schwertbund Nurmberg site in 2012.
 +
 
 +
The first English translation was made by [[Christian Trosclair]] in 2014, based on the Wilhalm versions of the text, and donated to Wiktenauer; in 2020, he expanded his translation to include the two complete versions.
 +
 
 +
In 2021, Dierk Hagedorn produced a transcription and translation of Munich Ⅰ with his children [[Helen Hagedorn|Helen]] and [[Henri Hagedorn|Henri]]; it was published by Greenhill Books under the title ''Renaissance Combat. Jörg Wilhalm's Fightbook, 1522-1523''.

While all branches were originally presented in a single concordance in the [[pseudo-Peter von Danzig]] article, the differences between them are extensive enough that they merit separate consideration. Thus, Branch A has been placed on the page of [[Lew]], Branch B has been retained on the main pseudo-Danzig page, and branch C is presented here.
 +
 +
To allow easier comparison between the two complete versions, Augsburg II is presented in the column next to Vienna, before the earlier fragmentary versions.

<p>Gloss: Note this is the foremost art of the long sword, that above all you should learn to cut correctly. That is, if you wish to otherwise fence strongly and understand it like this. When you stand with the left foot forwards and cut from your right side, if you then do not support the cut with the ingress of your right foot, then this cut is spurious and incorrect. When your right side remains behind, the cut becomes too short thereby and its correct path down to the other side in front of the left foot cannot happen.</p>

<p>Or if you stand with the right foot forwards and cut from the left side, if you do not then also support<ref>Vienna: cleave closely behind</ref>the cut with your left foot, then the cut is again spurious<ref>Vienna: completely wrong</ref>. Therefore, see to it that when you cut from the right side that you always support the cut with the right foot. Do the same when you cut from the left side so that your body brings itself correctly into balance with it. In this way, the cuts will be hewn correctly.</p>

<p>Gloss. This is: When you come to the opponent with the initiation of fencing, you do not stand still and look upon their cut nor await whatever they fence against you. Know that all fencers that look out and wait upon another's cut and will do nothing other than parry, they allow themselves to quite little opportunity for art, because it is for naught and they become struck for this reason. Therefore, strike and seek the openings.</p>

<p>Understand that like this.

Then if they parry with strength and allow their point to go up in the air or to one side and remains low with their hands, then give them a flesh wound on their arm or rise up high with your sword when they parry and strike below to their body with a free cut and immediately lunge back from that before they come to their senses. Thus, they are struck.<ref>Augsburg: "Gloss: When you arrive at the opponent, then whatever you wish to fence, drive that with your entire strength. Strike them to the head and to the body from close proximity and remain with your point in front of their face or chest, so that they cannot change through in front of your point.

 +
<p>Gloss: Note this is a lesson that hits upon two people, an orthodox and a southpaw and it is also how you shall cut so that one cannot win the weak of your sword with the first cut. Understand it like this. When you come to the opponent with the initiation of fencing, if you are orthodox, then do not cut the first cut from the left side by choice because it is weak and with it you cannot hold fast when they cut in with you strongly. Therefore, cut from the right so you can stay in contact with full strength and work whatever you wish at the sword. In the same way if you are southpaw, then also do not cut the first cut from the right side because it is quite undependable art for a southpaw to drive from the right side. It is also the same for an orthodox from the left side.</p>

| <p>[44] '''Here begins the text of the cockeyed cut with it's plays'''<br/><br/></p>
Learn: When you enter with the Onset, then you shall Squint<ref>leer, scowl, make a secret or subtle glance.</ref> with the face whether he fences short against you. With that, You shall discern when he strikes directly toward you. If he does not then stretch the arms long from him with the sword’s hew, then the sword is shortened before him. When you lay before him in the guard the Fool: if he wishes to fall thereupon with his sword, then it is short. If he is Positioned in the guard of the Oxen or of the Plows, then it is again shortened. Know as well that all windings with the sword before the opponent are short and shorten the sword and everything which thus fences against you. In that case, change freely with the long point throughout hewing and throughout thrusting so that you force them so they must parry and let themselves become struck.

Gloss. The Parter counters the guard of the Fool and threatens the face and the chest with its turn quite perilously. Execute it thusly: When you approach with the Onset, if he Positions himself in the guard of the Fool, then advance your left foot and hold your sword with arms stretched high above your head in the guard From-the-day and leap toward him and hew down strongly with the long edge from above and remain high with the arms and such that one’s hilt stands upward, binds upon his sword, that is called the crown, and rises with that and shoves your point. So wind through your sword and his crown with the edge below the pommel to his arms and press. Thus the crown is broken again and with the down pressing edge and withdraw yourself with that.

Then, if they will wind off you<ref>Augsburg and the others follow the lew: "either cut in from the act of parrying or wind in against your sword"</ref>, then do not let them come off your sword and pursue them thereon and work to the nearest opening during this.</p>

[When] the Sensing teaches<br/>“Instantly”, the sword slices well.

 +
<p>Likewise. When the opponent rushes in on you with up-stretched arms and you do the same, then slip through them with your head to their right side and let your sword angle back over your back as was written before and step ahead with your right foot in front of their right and drive through under their right arm back around their body with your right arm and fasten them to your right hip and throw them behind you.

Gloss. Note that the sensing in the sword and the word “Instantly” is the greatest art and when one is a master or wishes to be and cannot sense the Sensing and thereby cannot understand the word “Instantly”, then he is not a master. Rather, he is a Buffalo of the sword, therefore you shall learn to embody these two things well in all engagements.

| Four are the slices<br/>Two from below, two from above together.

<p>Likewise. Note the four slices. Firstly, the two from above are appropriate to conduct against the fencers that like to strike around to the other side from the act of parrying or from the bind of the sword. It breaks that with the slice like this: When the opponent binds against your sword on your left side with a parry or otherwise and immediately strikes back around to your right via a cross cut, dart to their right side with your left foot, away from their cut and fall across both their arms from above<ref>This is the end of the Augsburg II Nicolaus gloss. The remainder of the gloss in Augsburg II is taken from [[Sigmund ain Ringeck]].</ref> with your long edge and press them away from you via the slice. You shall conduct this from both sides at anytime they strike or cut around from an act of parrying.</p>

| <p>[101] The two lower slices are appropriate to conduct against the fencers that like to rush in with outstretched arms.

<p>Whenever you move toward your opponent with the initiation of fencing, with whichever cut you approach them, be it a rising or descending cut, always let your point shoot in long to their face or to their chest during your cut. With that you pressure them such that they must parry or bind on the sword. And when they have bound on, remain strong with your long edge on their sword and stand freely and watch their situation and whatever they will fence against you. If they withdraw themselves back away from your sword then follow after them with your point to their chest. Or if they strike around to the other side leaving your sword, then bind in behind their cut strongly from above into their head. Or if they neither withdraw from your sword nor strike around, then work by doubling or otherwise using other plays as you subsequently sense weakness or strength in the sword.</p>

Nicolaüs was a 15th century German fencing master, presumably from Augsburg.[1] Nothing is known about this master outside of his treatise, but he seems to have been an initiate of the tradition of Johannes Liechtenauer (his treatise always appears coupled with a repetition of the grand master's Recital). On or around 2 July 1489,[2] he seems to have completed some version of a gloss on fencing with the long sword, apparently based on the anonymous pseudo-Peter von Danzig gloss of Liechtenauer's Recital.

Stemma

Early on in its history, the prototype of the Pseudo-Peter von Danzig gloss seems to have split into at least three branches, and no definite copies of the unaltered original are known to survive. The gloss of Sigmund ain Ringeck also seems to be related to this work, due to the considerable overlap in text and contents, but it is currently unclear if Ringeck's gloss is based on that of pseudo-Danzig or if they both derive from an even earlier original gloss (or even if Ringeck and pseudo-Danzig are the same author and the "Ringeck" gloss should be considered a fourth branch).

Branch A, first attested in the Augsburg version (1450s) and comprising the majority of extant copies, has more plays overall than Branch B but generally shorter descriptions in areas of overlap. It also glosses only Liechtenauer's Recital on long sword and mounted fencing; in lieu of a gloss of Liechtenauer's short sword, it is generally accompanied by the short sword teachings of Andre Lignitzer and Martin Huntsfeld (or, in the case of the 1512 Vienna II, Ringeck's short sword gloss). Branch A is sometimes called the Lew gloss, based on a potential attribution at the end of the mounted gloss in a few copies. Apart from the Augsburg, the other principal text in Branch A is the Salzburg version (1491), which was copied independently[3] and also incorporates twelve paragraphs from Ringeck's gloss and nineteen paragraphs from an unidentified third source. Branch A was redacted by Paulus Hector Mair (three mss., 1540s), Lienhart Sollinger (1556), and Joachim Meyer (1570), which despite being the latest is the cleanest extant version and was likely either copied directly from the original or created by comparing multiple versions to correct their errors. It was also one of the bases for Johannes Lecküchner's gloss on the Messer in the late 1470s.

Branch B, attested first in the Rome version (1452), is found in only five manuscripts; it tends to feature slightly longer descriptions than Branch A, but includes fewer plays overall. Branch B glosses Liechtenauer's entire Recital, including the short sword section, and may therefore be considered more complete than Branch A; it also differs in that three of the four known copies are illustrated to some extent, where none in the other branches are. Branch B is the one most commonly identified with pseudo-Danzig, because it is entirely anonymous and lacks any clues for other attribution. The Krakow version (1535-40) seems to be an incomplete (though extensively illustrated) copy taken from the Rome,[4] while Augsburg II (1564) collects only the six illustrated wrestling plays from the Krakow. The other substantial version of Branch B is the Vienna, which includes the mounted and short sword sections but omits the long sword in favor of Branch C. Most anomalous are the Glasgow version (1508), consisting solely of a nearly-complete redaction of the short sword gloss which begins with seven paragraphs of unknown origin, and the Dresden version, consisting of a redaction of the first half of the mounted fencing gloss which begins with four paragraphs from Ringeck. A final manuscript, the Falkner Turnierbuch, is known to have once existed but seems to have been destroyed in the Siege of Strasbourg.

Branch C is first attested in the Vienna version (1480s). It is unclear whether it was derived independently from the original, represents an intermediate evolutionary step between Branches A and B, or was created by simply merging copies of those two branches together. The structure and contents of this branch align closely with Branch B, lacking most of the unique plays of Branch A, but the actual text is more consistent with that of Branch A (though not identical). The other mostly-complete copy of Branch C is the Augsburg version II (1553), which was created by Paulus Hector Mair based on the writings of Antonius Rast, and which segues into the text of Ringeck's gloss for the final eighteen paragraphs. A substantial fragment of Branch C is present in five additional 16th century manuscripts alongside the illustrated treatise of Jörg Wilhalm; one of these, Glasgow II (1533) assigns the text a much earlier origin, stating that it was devised by Nicolaüs in 1489. This branch has received the least attention and is currently the least well understood.

(A final text of interest is the gloss of Hans Medel von Salzburg, which was acquired by Mair in 1539[5] and bound into the Cod. I.6.2º.5 after 1566.[6] Medel demonstrates familiarity with the teachings of a variety of 15th century Liechtenauer masters, and his text often takes the form of a revision and expansion of the long sword glosses of Ringeck and Branch C. Because of the extent of original and modified content, no attempt has been made on either of those pages to associate Medel's gloss with the sources he was copying from.)

Modern HEMA

Very little attention has been paid to this text until very recently, even though five of the seven known copies were identified at least as far back as Martin Wierschin's 1965 catalog Meister Johann Liechtenauers Kunst des Fechtens (Augsburg Ⅰ, Glasgow, Munich Ⅰ, Munich Ⅱ, and Vienna). Of the remaining two, Augsburg Ⅱ was listed by Hans-Peter Hils in his 1985 update Meister Johann Liechtenauers Kunst des langen Schwertes, and Wolfenbüttel was identified in 2012 by Jay Acutt.

In 2006, Carsten Lorbeer, Julia Lorbeer, Andreas Meier, Marita Wiedner, and Johann Heim, working as part of the Gesellschaft für pragmatische Schriftlichkeit, authored a complete transcription of the Vienna version as part of their Paulus Kal project (which was eventually posted on that site). In 2008, Filip Lampart and Martin Fabian transcribed Munich Ⅰ and posted it on Fecht-kunst.eu, and in 2009, Dierk Hagedorn likewise produced a transcription of Augsburg Ⅰ and posted it on Hammaborg (he eventually also re-transcribed the Vienna version in 2017); both of these transcriptions were made out of an interest in the teachings of Jörg Wilhalm. Finally, Augsburg Ⅱ was transcribed by Werner Ueberschär and posted on the Schwertbund Nurmberg site in 2012.

The first English translation was made by Christian Trosclair in 2014, based on the Wilhalm versions of the text, and donated to Wiktenauer; in 2020, he expanded his translation to include the two complete versions.

In 2021, Dierk Hagedorn produced a transcription and translation of Munich Ⅰ with his children Helen and Henri; it was published by Greenhill Books under the title Renaissance Combat. Jörg Wilhalm's Fightbook, 1522-1523.

Treatise

While all branches were originally presented in a single concordance in the pseudo-Peter von Danzig article, the differences between them are extensive enough that they merit separate consideration. Thus, Branch A has been placed on the page of Lew, Branch B has been retained on the main pseudo-Danzig page, and branch C is presented here.

To allow easier comparison between the two complete versions, Augsburg II is presented in the column next to Vienna, before the earlier fragmentary versions.

Strike them to the head and to the body from close proximity and remain with your point in front of their face or chest, so that they cannot change through in front of your point. And then if they bind strongly against your sword and rise up high with their sword, then strike below to their body or give them a flesh wound upon their arm before they come to their senses and immediately dart back from that."

  47. "at your right shoulder" omitted from Augsburg II.
  48. "or with your point" omitted from Vienna and Augsburg II.
  49. Vienna: "And pinning is executed like this: When you come to the opponent with the initiation of fencing, then position yourself with your sword in either the guard of the ox or of the plow. Then if the opponent will from their right side either cut in from above or thrust in from below, note when they lift up their sword to strike or draws towards themselves below to thrust and shoot in ahead into long point into their left side opening before they can deploy their cut or thrust and see if can you pin them."
  50. Vienna: "Do the same when the opponent initiates a cut from below and this goes to both sides. Then if they become aware of your pinning and parries, then keep your sword against theirs and do not draw away from it and work quite swiftly with your sword to the nearest opening so they cannot come to any play. Then if they withdraw themselves from your sword, execute the racing behind which will be explained to you hereafter."
