− | '''Fechtbuch zu Ross und zu Fuss''' ("Manual on Fencing, on Horse and on Foot"; MS | + | '''Fechtbuch zu Ross und zu Fuss''' ("Manual on Fencing, on Horse and on Foot"; MS Var.82) is a [[nationality::German]] [[fencing manual]] created in the 1560s and acquired by [[Joachim Meyer]] some time before 1570.<ref>The only date, 1570, is given on [[page:MS Var.82 123r.png|folio 123]] (between the first and second sections of Meyer's rapier text); the rest of the manuscript shows a few different hands and was likely compiled prior to its acquisition by Meyer. See [[Joachim Meyer]]. ''The Art of Combat. A German Martial Arts Treatise of 1570.'' Trans. [[Jeffrey L. Forgeng]]. London: Frontline Books, 2014. pp 32-33.</ref> The original currently rests in the holdings of the [[Universitätsbibliothek Rostock]] in Rostock, Germany. Like many manuscripts from the previous century, the MS Var. 82 contains an assortment of older treatises from the tradition of [[Johannes Liechtenauer]]; perhaps the most significant portion is the notes that Meyer added to the front and back, including an outline for adapting the traditional German [[Messer]] teachings (exemplified in the writings of [[Johannes Lecküchner]]) to the newly-popular [[rapier]]. |

Ⅰ.6.4º.3]], perhaps the one from which that manuscript was also copied. The two notable exceptions to this are [[Sigmund ain Ringeck]]'s glosa, which do not match any other extant version and contain clues to the nature of the lost original, and an anonymous multiweapon treatise toward the back which also appears in the compilations of [[Gregor Erhart]] and [[Paulus Hector Mair]], but whose origins are completely unknown. |

The name is mentioned in reference to a piece of the [[poleaxe]], which might indicate the subject of his teachings. |

+ | It's unclear whether this manuscript was created for Joachim Meyer or whether he purchased it with 6r-110r already filled in; its history before Meyer received it is unknown. After Meyer's death, it passed into the ducal library at Mecklenburg, and moved with the rest of that collection until it reached its current home at the University of Rostock. | ||

Fechtbuch zu Ross und zu Fuss ("Manual on Fencing, on Horse and on Foot"; MS Var.82) is a German fencing manual created in the 1560s and acquired by Joachim Meyer some time before 1570.[1] The original currently rests in the holdings of the Universitätsbibliothek Rostock in Rostock, Germany. Like many manuscripts from the previous century, the MS Var. 82 contains an assortment of older treatises from the tradition of Johannes Liechtenauer; perhaps the most significant portion is the notes that Meyer added to the front and back, including an outline for adapting the traditional German Messer teachings (exemplified in the writings of Johannes Lecküchner) to the newly-popular rapier.
Much of the older content seems to have been sourced from a manuscript similar to Cod. Ⅰ.6.4º.3, perhaps the one from which that manuscript was also copied. The two notable exceptions to this are Sigmund ain Ringeck's glosa, which do not match any other extant version and contain clues to the nature of the lost original, and an anonymous multiweapon treatise toward the back which also appears in the compilations of Gregor Erhart and Paulus Hector Mair, but whose origins are completely unknown.
One final note of interest about this manuscript is that it mentions a Master Pegnitzer,[2] a name that also appears on Paulus Kal's roll of the Fellowship of Liechtenauer[3] and a master from whom no treatise is known to survive. The name is mentioned in reference to a piece of the poleaxe, which might indicate the subject of his teachings.

Provenance
It's unclear whether this manuscript was created for Joachim Meyer or whether he purchased it with 6r-110r already filled in; its history before Meyer received it is unknown. After Meyer's death, it passed into the ducal library at Mecklenburg, and moved with the rest of that collection until it reached its current home at the University of Rostock.
