The title of this article contains the character º. Where it is unavailable or not desired, the name may be represented as Gladiatoria (Cod.Guelf.78.2 Aug.2o).
The Codex Guelf 78.2 August 2º is a German fencing manual probably created between 1465 and 1480.[1] The original currently rests in the holdings of the Herzog-August Bibliothek in Wolfenbüttel, Germany. This manuscript is a compilation work, and contains copies of Johannes Liechtenauer's Zedel, the Gladiatoria Fechtbuch, and Konrad Kyeser's famous treatise on siege warfare Bellifortis. Scattered among these works are devices of longsword, spear, and dagger reminiscent of Die Blume des Kampfes. Unfortunately, although blank space is left below each image for the inclusion of text, the manuscript was apparently never completed and so we have no explanation for these unique plays. The current confused sequence of plays (as compared to the three earlier versions) is probably the result of errors during a rebinding.
