The Goliath Fechtbuch (MS German Quarto 2020) is a German fencing manual created between 1510 and 1520.[1] The original currently rests in the holdings of the Biblioteka Jagiellońska in Kraków, Poland. Zabinski speculates based on a number of factors that it was commissioned for Maximilian I (1459-1519), a well-known aficionado of military texts.[2] The manuscript appears to have at least three different scribes, but uses a single artist throughout.[3] It is often nicknamed "Goliath" due to the depiction of the biblical confrontation between David and the giant Goliath on the inside cover. The reason for the inclusion of this painting is entirely unclear, but it may be an allusion to the size of the longswords depicted in the illustrations of unarmored fencing.
Goliath is a compilation text consisting of treatises on a variety of martial topics by several different masters, most of whom who stood in the tradition of the grand master Johannes Liechtenauer. The first several sections include elaborately painted illustrations, but the images cease abruptly toward the beginning of the section on armored fencing, with the final few illustrations being merely rough line drawings. This in addition to the presence of blank spaces through the rest of the manuscript seems to suggest that additional illustrations were planned but never completed (perhaps due to the emperor's death).
