A 83) is a [[nationality::German]] manuscript thought to have been created in the workshop of [[Albrecht Dürer]] as preparation for his [[fencing manual]] of 1512 ([[Oplodidaskalia sive Armorvm Tractandorvm Meditatio Alberti Dvreri (MS 26-232)|MS 26-232]]).<ref>[[Hans-Peter Hils|Hils, Hans-Peter]].

This manuscript is just a book of illustrations, not a true fencing manual, and its focus is on accurately depicting the fighters rather than on explicating their techniques. It seems to be connected in some way to the [[Augsburg group|Augsburg manuscript group]], and also incorporates the dagger content from [[Hans Talhoffer]]'s 1448 [[Talhoffer Fechtbuch (MS Chart.A.558)|manuscript]] and [[sword and buckler]] pieces of [[Anonymous sword and buckler images|unknown origin]]. |

The Berlin Picture Book (Libr. pict. A 83) is a German manuscript thought to have been created in the workshop of Albrecht Dürer as preparation for his fencing manual of 1512 (MS 26-232).[1] The original currently rests in the holdings of the Staatsbibliothek zu Berlin in Berlin, Germany. This manuscript is just a book of illustrations, not a true fencing manual, and its focus is on accurately depicting the fighters rather than on explicating their techniques. It seems to be connected in some way to the Augsburg manuscript group, and also incorporates the dagger content from Hans Talhoffer's 1448 manuscript and sword and buckler pieces of unknown origin.
