The MS BPL 3281 is a fragmentary 16th century Belgian fencing manual created in the 1520s.[1] It resides in the holdings of the Universiteitsbibliotheek Leiden in Leiden, Netherlands. The techniques in this manuscript are consistent with those of the Augsburg manuscript complex and the art style matches part A of the Bauman Fechtbuch (the earliest member of that complex), but its relationship to this tradition remains uncertain.

References
- ↑ According to the library catalog entry.
- ↑ It is unclear what “niet en” means here. It could imply that the thumb is “not in”, or that it is “not one”, i.e. not alone–supported by the other hand.
- ↑ A literal translation of “cruine” would be “crown”.
- ↑ This could possibly be supposed to read “duime”, meaning “thumb”.
- ↑ This should most likely read “ghevangen”, which is translated as “captured”.
- ↑ 6.0 6.1 A more literal translation would be “unhook”.
- ↑ The meaning of the Dutch word “striken” is unclear in this context. Here, it is interpreted as “strikken”; “snares”.
- ↑ Alternatively: “nader”, meaning “closer”.
- ↑ This could be either “by” or “with” depending on the meaning of the word “hechte”. See the following note.
- ↑ This word is hard to make out in the manuscript. “hechte” could alternatively mean “close”. Possible alternatives for “hechte” are “rechte”, meaning “right” (i.e. with the right hand, though this would be unlikely as the right hand is trapped), or “hoch(t)e”, meaning “high” or “height”. Finally, the hilt could be what is intended.
