The Cgm 1507 is a German fencing manual created by Paulus Kal in 1470.[1] The original currently rests in the holdings of the Bayerische Staatsbibliothek in Munich, Germany. The manuscript is dedicated to Ludwig IX "the Rich" of the House of Wittelsbach (1417-1479), Duke of Bavaria-Landshut. This seems to be the archetype of Paulus Kal's treatise, as well as the only version that was certainly commissioned by the master himself.
The manuscript consists of a partial redaction of the writings of Johannes Liechtenauer on Kampffechten, Roßfechten, and Bloßfechten, as well as Kal's own teachings on a variety of other weapons. It differs from the works of other followers of Liechtenauer in that instead of offering extensive glosses of the high master's verses, this manuscript explains them with detailed illustrations.
Despite being the most complete version of Kal's treatise, this manuscript is missing several pages, including two leaves between ff 2 and 3 and one each between 18/19, 79/80, 91/92, and 93/94. The missing folio 18a may have corresponded to the plays on ff 12v - 13r of the MS Chart.B.1021, but any contents of the other five folia cannot currently be determined.

Method and various techniques for combatants using spears, swords, practice weapons, axes, shields, and daggers, and finally without arms, using only the strength of the body, both on horseback and on foot, among which are the most noble equestrian sports of the ancients (tournament games). The entire work was gathered into this form by Paulus Kal, a most skilled master of this sort of art, under the reign of Duke Ludwig, count palatine of the Rhine, etc. etc. Whatever is lacking in the explanation of the material can essentially be gathered from the pictures, and from their postures and use of the weapons.
