Pseudo-Peter von Danzig was a late 14th or early 15th century German fencing master. Some time before the creation of the Codex 44.A.8 in 1452, he authored a gloss of Johannes Liechtenauer's epitome which would go on to become the dominant one in the tradition. While many writers have erroneously identified him as Peter von Danzig zum Ingolstadt, the gloss itself is anonymous and its author's identity remains unknown. It is possible that ps-Danzig was in fact Jud Lew or Sigmund Schining ein Ringeck, both of whose glosses show strong similarities to the work. On the other hand, the introduction to the Rome version of the text might be construed as attributing it to Liechtenauer himself.

Treatise

In order to achieve a greater degree of organization and coherence, the markverse has been separated into its proper couplets in this presentation. The verse appears this way in the Salzburg version, but in most of the other manuscripts that contain this treatise it appears inline in prose form.
