Hans Medel's section, probably written in the late 15th or early 16th century, consists of the master's modified presentation of the teachings of [[Johannes Liechtenauer]], which takes the form of a sort of "updated version" of [[Sigmund ain Ringeck]]'s own treatise. The manuscript also includes a section on fighting from "seven stances", which appears to be Medel's own unique contribution to the art.

The Hans Medel Fechtbuch (Cod.Ⅰ.6.2º.5) is a 16th century German manuscript compiled by Paulus Hector Mair some time after 1566.[1] It currently rests in the holdings of the Universitätsbibliothek Augsburg in Augsburg, Germany. The manuscript is a compilation of several older documents, including records from the Augsburg fencing guilds and a fencing manual that was probably created by a student or admirer of Master Hans Medel of Salzburg. At the end are twelve prints of fencers and wrestlers by Dirck Coornhert, based on drawings by the Dutch artist Maarten van Heemskerck and apparently printed in 1552.[2]

Hans Medel's section, probably written in the late 15th or early 16th century, including an incomplete gloss of Liechtenauer's Recital on the long sword and an addendum on fencing based on "the Seven Stances"; it seems to have been written by a student or associate of Medel rather than the master himself. This gloss is unique in the Liechtenauer tradition in that it not only offers commentary on the Recital, but also both quotes and occasionally criticizes or corrects the earlier glosses of Sigmund ain Ringeck and Nicolaüs. The illustrations in Medel's segment are very similar to the earlier Cluny Fechtbuch (Cl. 23842) (which also includes brief notes that might refer to Medel's teachings) as well as to the paintings Mair would later commission for his own manuscripts, and may have been an inspiration for them.

A final note of interest about Medel's text is that it mentions Master Hans Seydenfaden von Erfurt twice, a name that also appears on Paulus Kal's roll of the Fellowship of Liechtenauer[3] and a master from whom no treatise is known to survive. This may indicate that Hans Medel possessed some of his writings that have since been lost, or perhaps that Medel was a student of Seydenfaden and received some of the master's teachings directly.
