− | The '''Pol Hausbuch''' (MS | + | The '''Nicolas Pol Hausbuch''' (MS 3227<sup>a</sup>, sometimes called the Nuremberg Hausbuch) is a [[nationality::German]] [[commonplace book]] (or ''Hausbuch'' in German) thought to have been created some time between 1389 and 1532.<ref>The date of 1389 is based on the presence of a sort of "calendar" on [[page:MS 3227a 83v.jpg|folio 83v]] that begins in 1390, while 1532 the year its earliest known owner, Nicolaus Pol, died.</ref> The original currently rests in the holdings of the [[Germanisches Nationalmuseum]] in Nuremberg, Germany. It is sometimes erroneously attributed to [[Hans Döbringer|Hans "Hanko" Döbringer]],<ref>The attribution to Döbringer is based on how prominently the name "Hanko pfaffen Döbringers" appears to be displayed on [[page:MS 3227a 43r.jpg|folio 43r]], but upon examination this is revealed as a simple correction inserted in the margin, indicating that Döbringer's name had been accidentally omitted from the list of four authors of the treatise beginning on that page. Attributing this manuscript to Döbringer therefore requires him to have forgotten to include his own name in his own treatise.</ref> when in fact he is but one of the four authors of a brief addendum to [[Johannes Liechtenauer]]'s art of [[long sword]] fencing, which is also the only fencing material in the manuscript that appears in any [[Glasgow Fechtbuch (MS E.1939.65.341)|other fencing manual]]. The rest of the manuscript is a typical example of a commonplace book, containing a variety of unrelated writings on mundane and esoteric topics, including fencing and grappling, but for this reason, the anonymous author of the rest of the fencing material is sometimes known as [[Pseudo-Hans Döbringer]]. Pseudo-Döbringer's writings seem to consist of commentary on and expansion of the teachings of Liechtenauer, and it is even speculated that he was still alive at the time of the writing.<ref>The manuscript uniformly lacks the traditional prayer for the dead when mentioning his name.</ref> |
− | [[Christian Tobler]] argues that it is unjustified to assume a date of 1389 based purely on the presence of a century-long calendar. The eclectic nature of commonplace books means that the calendar could easily have been an old calendar or even a future one. As the date of the Pol Hausbuch is also used to estimate the time period of Liechtenauer's career, this is a significant error. (Using it to date Liechtenauer is further complicated by the fact that even if he were alive when the fencing treatise was written, the version in this manuscript is potentially a later copy rather than the original.)<ref>[[Christian Henry Tobler|Tobler, Christian Henry]].

Wheaton, IL: [[Freelance Academy Press]], 2010.</ref> An upper limit on the origin of the manuscript | + | [[Christian Tobler]] argues that it is unjustified to assume a date of 1389 based purely on the presence of a century-long calendar.<ref>This isn't a calendar in any conventional sense, but rather a simple list of the number of weeks between the holidays of Epiphany and Ash Wednesday in each of the years.</ref> The eclectic nature of commonplace books means that the calendar could easily have been an old calendar or even a future one. As the date of the Pol Hausbuch is also used to estimate the time period of Liechtenauer's career, this is a significant error.

"Chicken and Eggs: Which Master Came First?" ''In Saint George's Name: An Anthology of Medieval German Fighting Arts''. Wheaton, IL: [[Freelance Academy Press]], 2010.</ref> An upper limit on the origin of the manuscript is often estimated based on the date in the [[Page:MS 3227a Cover 2.jpg|front cover]], which seems to indicate that Nicolaus Pol owned it in 1494, but that's a misinterpretation Pol received his doctorate in 1494, and all books from his library follow his name with "Doctor, 1494". |

The Nicolas Pol Hausbuch (MS 3227a, sometimes called the Nuremberg Hausbuch) is a German commonplace book (or Hausbuch in German) thought to have been created some time between 1389 and 1532.[1] The original currently rests in the holdings of the Germanisches Nationalmuseum in Nuremberg, Germany. It is sometimes erroneously attributed to Hans "Hanko" Döbringer,[2] when in fact he is but one of the four authors of a brief addendum to Johannes Liechtenauer's art of long sword fencing, which is also the only fencing material in the manuscript that appears in any other fencing manual. The rest of the manuscript is a typical example of a commonplace book, containing a variety of unrelated writings on mundane and esoteric topics, including fencing and grappling, but for this reason, the anonymous author of the rest of the fencing material is sometimes known as Pseudo-Hans Döbringer. Pseudo-Döbringer's writings seem to consist of commentary on and expansion of the teachings of Liechtenauer, and it is even speculated that he was still alive at the time of the writing.[3]
Christian Tobler argues that it is unjustified to assume a date of 1389 based purely on the presence of a century-long calendar.[4] The eclectic nature of commonplace books means that the calendar could easily have been an old calendar or even a future one. As the date of the Pol Hausbuch is also used to estimate the time period of Liechtenauer's career, this is a significant error. (Using it to date Liechtenauer is further complicated by the fact that even if he were alive when the fencing treatise was written, the version in this manuscript is potentially a later copy rather than the original.)[5] An upper limit on the origin of the manuscript is often estimated based on the date in the front cover, which seems to indicate that Nicolaus Pol owned it in 1494, but that's a misinterpretation Pol received his doctorate in 1494, and all books from his library follow his name with "Doctor, 1494".

References
- ↑ The date of 1389 is based on the presence of a sort of "calendar" on folio 83v that begins in 1390, while 1532 the year its earliest known owner, Nicolaus Pol, died.
- ↑ The attribution to Döbringer is based on how prominently the name "Hanko pfaffen Döbringers" appears to be displayed on folio 43r, but upon examination this is revealed as a simple correction inserted in the margin, indicating that Döbringer's name had been accidentally omitted from the list of four authors of the treatise beginning on that page. Attributing this manuscript to Döbringer therefore requires him to have forgotten to include his own name in his own treatise.
- ↑ The manuscript uniformly lacks the traditional prayer for the dead when mentioning his name.
- ↑ This isn't a calendar in any conventional sense, but rather a simple list of the number of weeks between the holidays of Epiphany and Ash Wednesday in each of the years.

- ↑ Revision or stain.
- ↑ At this point, there is a cross-shaped marking spanning two lines whose meaning is unclear.
- ↑ Reading unclear.
- ↑ Bottom line difficult to decipher.
- ↑ Ehlert expands to ‘verumteman’. But compare 109r line 6.
- ↑ Single cross as metamark.
