The MS B.26 is a German manuscript created by Ludwig VI von Eyb zum Hartenstein in or around 1500.[citation needed] The original currently rests in the holdings of the Universitätsbibliothek Erlangen-Nürnberg in Erlangen, Germany. It is dedicated to Philip "the Upright" (1448-1508), Elector Palatine of the Rhine. This manuscript is a compilation text and is of particular interest because, in addition to a copy of Konrad Kyeser's famous treatise on siege warfare Bellifortis, it combines plays familiar from the writings of the Italian master Fiore de'i Liberi with numerous devices from unknown sources. The descriptions are written in German and not derived or translated from Liberi's own text, and it therefore seems likely that Eyb was reproducing the text-less Codex 5278 or another text from the Germanic tradition that influenced Liberi.
