− | + | '''Paulus Hector Mair''' (Paul Hektor Mayr, Meyer; 1517 – 1579) was a [[century::16th century]] German aristocrat, civil servant, and fencer. He was born in 1517 to a wealthy and influential Augsburg patrician family. In his youth, he likely received training in fencing and grappling from the masters of Augsburg fencing guild, and early on developed a deep fascination with fencing treatises. He began his civil service as a secretary to the Augsburg City Council; by 1541, Mair was the city treasurer, and in 1545 he also took on the office of Master of Rations. | |

− | + | Mair's martial background is unknown, but as a citizen of a free city he would have had military obligations whenever the city went to war, and as a member of a patrician family he likely served in the cavalry. He was also an avid collector of fencing treatises and other literature on military history. Like his contemporary [[Joachim Meyer]], Mair believed that the Medieval martial arts were being forgotten, and he saw this as a tragedy, idealizing the arts of fencing as a civilizing and character-building influence on men. Where Meyer sought to update the traditional fencing systems and apply them to contemporary weapons of war and defense, Mair was more interested in preserving historical teachings intact. Thus, some time in the latter part of the 1540s he commissioned what would become the most extensive compendium of German fencing treatises ever made, a massive two-volume manuscript compiling virtually every fencing treatise he could access. He retained the workshop of [[Jörg Breu the Younger]] to create the illustrations for the text,<ref>Breu is not listed in the Augsburg tax records in 1542-3; given Mair's youth, he most likely hired Breu between his return in 1544 and his death in 1547.</ref> and hired two Augsburg fencers to pose for the illustrations.<ref>Hils 1985, pp 197-201.</ref> This project was extraordinarily expensive and took at least four years to complete. Ultimately, three copies of this compendium were produced, each more extensive than the last; the first ([[Opus Amplissimum de Arte Athletica (MSS Dresd.C.93/C.94)|MSS Dresden C.93/C.94]]) was written in [[Early New High German]], the second and most artistically ambitious ([[Opus Amplissimum de Arte Athletica (Cod.icon. 393)|Cod.icon. 393]]) in [[New Latin]], and the rougher third version ([[Opus Amplissimum de Arte Athletica (Cod.10825/10826)|Cod. 10825/10826]]) incorporated both languages. | |
− | + | Beginning in the 1540s, Mair began purchasing older fencing manuscripts, some from fellow collector [[Lienhart Sollinger]] (a [[Freifechter]] who lived in Augsburg for many years) and others from auctions. Perhaps most significant of all of his acquisitions was the partially-completed treatise of [[Antonius Rast]], a Master of the Long Sword and three-time Captain of the [[Marxbrüder]] fencing guild. The venerable master left it incomplete when he died in 1549, and in 1553 Mair produced a complete fencing manual ([[Rast Fechtbuch (Reichsstadt "Schätze" Nr. 82)|Reichsstadt "Schätze" Nr. 82]]) based on his notes. Ultimately, he owned over a dozen fencing manuscripts over the course of his life, including the following: | |

− | + | He also used several printed books as source material for his compendia, and presumably owned copies, including ''[[Der Allten Fechter gründtliche Kunst (Christian Egenolff)|Der Allten Fechter gründtliche Kunst]]'' (printed by [[Christian Egenolff]]), ''[[Opera Nova (Achille Marozzo)|Opera Nova]]'' by [[Achille Marozzo]], and ''[[Ringer Kunst (Fabian von Auerswald)|Ringer Kunst]]'' by [[Fabian von Auerswald]]. | |
− | + | Mair not only spent incredible sums of money on his fencing interests, but generally lead a lavish lifestyle and maintained his political influence with expensive parties and other entertainments for the burghers and patricians of Augsburg. This habit of living far beyond his means for decades exhausted his family's wealth, eventually leading him to sell the Latin version of his fencing manuscript (netting the princely sum of 800 florins) and finally to begin embezzling money from the Augsburg city coffers. This embezzlement was not discovered for many years (or perhaps was overlooked due to the political favor his parties garnered), until finally a disgruntled assistant reported him to the Augsburg City Council in 1579 and provoked an audit of his books. Mair was arrested, tried, and hanged as a thief at the age of 62. After Mair's death, his effects (including his library) were sold at auction to recoup some of the funds he had embezzled. | |
− | |||
+ | Whether viewed as an unwise scholar who paid the ultimate price for his art or an ignoble thief who violated his city's trust, Mair remains one of the most influential figures in the history of Kunst des Fechtens. By completing the fencing manual of Antonius Rast, Mair gave us valuable insight into the [[Augsburg Group|Augsburg fencing tradition]]; his own works are impressive on both an artistic and practical level, and his extensive commentary on the fencing illustrations in his collection serves to make potentially useful training aids out of what would otherwise be mere curiosities. Finally, in purchasing so many important fencing treatises he succeeded in preserving them for future generations; they were purchased by the fabulously wealthy Fugger family after his death and eventually passed to the [[Universitätsbibliothek Augsburg|Augsburg University Library]], where they remain to this day. | ||

− | + | Much of Mair's content represents his revision and expansion of the older treatises listed above, including adding descriptive content to uncaptioned illustrations. Where available, these illustrations are displayed in the left-most column, labeled "Source Illustrations", for comparison purposes. Mair's own illustrations appear in the second column, alongside the translation. Wherever possible, the version from the manuscript or book that Mair owned is displayed; in some cases, however, the only known copy is in a book that Mair never had access to as far as we know (suggesting the existence of lost manuscripts). | |

− | + | The Dresden version contains the fewest pieces and its artwork is most reminiscent of Breu's style, suggesting that it was the first copy produced. The Munich adds additional plays and sections on top of the Dresden's contents and the Vienna likewise augments the Munich, so it appears that this was order of creation; conversely, the Dresden has no unique content, and the only unique plays in the Munich are in the section on jousting. To give a visual sense of this evolution of the work, the Dresden illustrations are used wherever possible; the Munich illustrations appear only for those plays that are missing from the Dresden, and the Vienna for those that are likewise missing from the Munich. | |

− | + | Therefore, moved and instigated against my will that I would order and place here a little preface and apology of the noble knightly art of fencing, to all beloved honourable men, be they of noble birth or otherwise. To this end I would not look on the cost, just as I did not with the other work and zeal that I put into this work, with unwavering hope that this preface would succeed to serve as good and comprehensible instruction for the reader. | |

− | + | '''The ancient''' and modern Greek, Latin and German historians have put much zeal and effort into the question, in numerous points and articles, from which basis and causes, in which time, and in what land and situation, and by whose instigation, the knightly sport of fencing first took its origin and source, but in the cause and the tale of years, or in place and situation, they all are in agreement, that this knightly art of fencing was in the beginning established with the purpose of serving to the honour, virtue and stimulation to the youth of both high and low birth, and also to the protection and preservation of the fatherland. But in the question of naming who was the first inventor of this art, they are found somewhat discordant and of differing opinions. | |

− | '''[ | + | | |
+ | '''And while many''' of the learned say that this art of the knightly sport, as other arts beside, must have come among men to influence[?] their appetites and pleasure, from above, i.e. from God and celestial influence of the stars, as is well believable. Besides this, some say that ''Pollux'', who was honoured by the Romans, was an instigator of this honourable art; others would attribute the honour of such invention to ''Mercury''. But both these statements must be found somewhat obscure and uninstructive from the fact that they do not explain what use or profit they would have made from this art, or which lords they took as their disciples that would have learned the art from them and in turn passed it on. | ||
+ | |||
+ | '''But the majority''' of the same historiographers state and testify that ''Probas'', the famous fencer and teacher of ''Theseus'', the king of Athens in Greece, in which realm the knightly art in the beginning and for a long time thereafter did much prosper, was the first inventor and establisher of this art. | ||
− | + | For this same ''Probas'' did to the highest extent praise and commend the knightly exercise to king ''Theseus'' with fair and rigorous argument, to the kingdom and fatherland, to all ordered conduct and honesty, and all that serves the preservation of the liberty of the fatherland, as a highly expedient medicine against the useless, inert and recreant slothfulness and other frivolity. | |
− | + | Which instruction said king ''Theseus'' took to heart and in consideration of that this knightly art and exercise of fencing in times of peace may be an honourable and manly exercise for the young, but in times of distress and danger may serve and succeed towards the fatherland's honour, advantage and prosperity, he put belief in ''Probas'' and himself together with some of the most noble of his court, undertook it to learn this knightly art of fencing, to which end ''Probas'' was highly assiduous. | |
− | + | And thus the honourable art of fencing prospered from the cause that each [practitioner] was found that much more competent and able to support the fatherland in its need. Said king ''Theseus'' did build, to considerable cost, many sumptuous houses dedicated for the exercise of this art, in Athens and elsewhere in his realm, which was the beginning of the general [systematic] tuition in fencing. These events under the reign of the Athenian king ''Theseus'', who according to the reckoning of the ''Urspergian''<ref name="Urspergensis">''Chronicon Abbatis Urspergensis'', the Chronicle of Burchard of Ursberg (13th century), printed in Augsburg 1515.</ref> reigned for thirty years, took place and occurred approximately in the year 1224 before the birth of our saviour Jesus Christ, and from this circumstance it follows that this art, which has been founded by kings, and by many of royal and noble kin and blood besides, which served to themselves as a noble exercise and towards honour, advantage and necessity for the fatherland, may well and truly be called a noble and knightly sport. | |
− | + | '''But what zeal''' and considerable cost was invested by the ancients in the knightly art of fencing, and in what earnest and honourable reputation its exercise was held, furthermore what high persons undertook to learn this art, and to what good consequence this art served in all lands and kingdoms, this I will also tell and describe. | |

+ | '''Because the human nature''' of budding youth may not rest or be idle, and because this knightly exercise as a manly virtue was well praised and held in high honour, not alone in ''Greece'' but all over the world, thus in the land of ''Greece'', and in other places besides, and especially in the province of ''Boeotia'', by the strong and widely famous fencing master ''Cercioni'', places and sites were chosen and cleared where one could fence, wrestle, duel and practice other knightly games, which were given by him the name of ''Palestra'', which name is still in use by the Latins. | ||
− | + | This example was followed by the mighty cities, such as Athens, Argis, Sparta, Corinth, and other peoples besides, which in the interest of beloved brevity I will refrain from describing. After the knightly art made entrance in Italy, the Romans with unspeakable cost very great and artful houses were constructed and called ''Theatrum'', that is "show-houses", and the prize among these was attained by the Roman Consul ''Staurus'', who built such an artful ''Theatrum'', which stood on three hundred and sixty marble pillars, and full hundred fencers might therein fence, in honour of the god ''Jupiter''. | |
− | + | In these show-houses the fencing-masters would at appropriate times, specifically on holidays, assemble and hold such exercise of the knightly sport, dedicated to the honour of the gods, in the exercise of fencing, wrestling, running, both on horse and on foot. The exercise of fencing was also performed with such honourable and respectable virtuous order, that ''sessiones'' were held and introduced in which everyone, i.e. providing he was of nobility, or held an office of state, could sit and watch the knightly sport. | |
− | + | That the Roman people loved the knightly sport to such an extent, and was assiduous to learn and visit it, that they once in such great number came to the ''Theatrum'' and show-houses, that these, in spite of being built with art and strength, could not endure such zest of the population that, as ''Livius'' writes, at ''Fidena'' such a house due to the great weight did collapse and fell to the ground, killing two thousand men.<ref name="Fidena">The amphitheatre of Fidenae (the modern Borgata Fidena, a suburb of Rome), endowed by a freed slave named Atilius, collapsed in 27 BC under the weight of a large crowd of spectators, apparently due to faults in construction. According to the (likely exaggerated) account by Tacitus (''Annales'', 4.63), a total of 50,000 people died in the collapse.</ref> Even in the current day, in many places such former and collapsed show-houses can be seen in Greece, Italy and Lombardy, especially in Rome and in Verona. | |

− | + | '''In addition, the ancients''', and especially the Greeks, did have such desire and love for the knightly exercise, that they did forego any kind of sweet food or drink several days before they would fence, likewise the lust of women besides all else that weakens the body and makes for heavy breathing, and did peruse such foods, as meat and other kinds, as do strengthen the body. On this matter did the learned ''medici'', and especially the most famous ''Galen'',<ref name="Galenus">Claudius Galenus of Pergamum (AD 131 – 201)</ref> repeatedly and artfully discuss, whether austerity and abstinence or the practice of fencing would profit more for the life of man. Also Saint Paul does report such an example in his epistle where he says, you see that those who would fence and fight over a transient honour or treasure are wont to forego all lust, as if he would say, why do not you the same, as pious Christians who are fighting not for an earthly but for a heavenly honour in this world.<ref name="Paulus">This may be in reference to 2 Timothy 2:4, rendered by Luther (1522) as: ''Niemant streyttet vnnd flicht sich ynn der narung geschefft, auff das er gefalle dem, der yhn zum streytter auffgenomen hat'' "None who would fight does meddle in the business of sustenance, so that he may please him who employed him as a fighter". Now Luthers ''narung'' "sustenance, nutrition, food" offers itself to an interpretation of "gluttony; carnal pleasure", but it translates ''pragmateiai biou'', meaning "the pragmatics of life", i.e. "everyday business". c.f. Tyndale (1526), who has "No man that warreth, entangleth himself with worldly business, and that because he would please him that hath chosen him to be a soldier"; Dresden has "temporal" (''zeitlich'') rather than "transient" (''zergenglich'').</ref> And therefore all those who love this knightly art do well to consider that in those times there were no drunken and immodest but sober, apt and most artful fencers. Also, it is rarely found in writing that among the ancients fencing was undertaken out of envy or hatred, as in our times regrettably occurs often, but out of love and artfulness. After the ancients did chastise themselves as they were expecting the day of fencing, they and the weapons with which they would fence were transported in all honesty on wagons to the fencing place or ''Theatrum'', and for them the prizes and treasures were painted in fine likeness and carried before them, and also beforehand publicly posted on the market-place, and thus made known to the common man. This custom is attributed by the historiographers with great praise to ''Terentius Lucanus'', who on three consecutive days did permanently have thirty naked fencers on the field, and when the fencers, masters and disciples entered the fencing place they put down their weapons in proper order (as is still the custom today); then the names of all fencers were written on pieces of paper and then with great assiduity the lot was drawn arbitrarily, and those two who were drawn by the lot then did have to fight most artfully and honourably for the treasure. For this, each of the fencers did most assiduously invoke their god, one ''Hercules'', the other ''Mercury'', yet others ''Pollux'' and ''Castor'', and so forth, and pray that the lot would pair them with good and artful fencers, and not immodest ones who were not well experienced in the art. All of this does illustrate that the ancients did fence above all for art and knightly virtue and honour than for any other things, for which reason, for the later generations of fencers and for the honour of the knightly art, the fight-schools as they were held and the promenading houses and halls of the rich were painted in their likeness, and those who held them, and those who won the prize were finely depicted, and the highest prize in this was retained by the freedman of emperor ''Nero'' who at ''Antium'' at the great imperial palace and promenade did most artfully and gracefully depict the likeness of the fencing-schools and fencers.<ref name="Antium">This is a reference to Pliny, ''Nat. Hist.'' 30.32: "When a freedman of Nero was giving a gladiatorial show at Antium, the public porticoes were covered with paintings, so we are told, containing life-like portraits of all the gladiators and assistants. This portraiture of gladiators has been the highest interest in art for many centuries now, but it was Gaius Terentius who began the practice of having pictures made of gladiatorial shows and exhibited in public; in honour of his grandfather who had adopted him he provided thirty pairs of Gladiators in the Forum for three consecutive days, and exhibited a picture of the matches in the Grove of Diana."</ref> | |

+ | '''So did also the learned''' philosophers write about this knightly art, and the same were not ashamed to learn its, and among them ''Pythagoras'', who was held a good fencer, was the foremost, as he did win the prize with his artful fencing at the celebration of the 48th ''Olympiad''. Likewise did do many other excellent philosophers, without necessarily naming them all. So does ''Marcus Tullius Cicero'', the Roman mayor and eventually administrator of the entire Roman empire write on the praise of fencing [T. q. folio.125.] I consider and trust entirely that nobody at all can be counted among the number of the learned orators who were not well versed and experienced in all arts that are knightly and even if we do not employ them in speaking, nor is it possible to discern this in us, if we are exercised in knightly sports, but the agility and the bearing of the body does concord and correspond with the agility of the voice, both in cheerful and in lamentable topics, such that it appears all the more agreeable to the listener. This is confirmed by the most learned orator ''Quintilianus'' who says that the persons who are given to praise and do not have contempt for the knightly sport of fencing and takes this as the cause that the same have great advantage and furtherance in the art of being well-spoken due to their agility ''Anacharsis''<ref name="Anacharsis">Anacharsis the Scythian, according to Herodotus (4.46, 76 f.) brother of the Scythian king Saulinos; attributed to him are inventions such as the anchor, bellows and pottery wheel. He was slain by his brother after he returned from a journey to Greece and began to advocate Greek culture to his countrymen. He is sometimes counted as one of the Seven Sages of Athens. Among a number of letters attributed to him is one addressed to the Lydian king Croesus.</ref> who lived at the time of king ''Croesus'' in Lydia, at the time when Rome had stood for 194 years, wrote that he did greatly marvel at how the Greeks were such stern judges while the fencers did bear themselves so heartily and well with[?] open spaces, houses, prizes, treasures and highest praise, as if he would say that the Greeks do well uphold the law and give to each man his due, to one his due praise and to the other his due punishment. Many more similar pronouncements furthering the honour of fencing could be mentioned, but as I feel that no amount would suffice for those who disparage this art, it should suffice for the present time. | ||

Aventinus gives Gampar's regnal years as 1711–1667 BC.</ref> who in the Saxon tongue, which is most similar to the German one, is known as king Gemper, from whom the word ''kampf'' ("duel") takes its origin, which the ancients, such as ''Homer, Orpheus, Ariostiphus, Diodorus, Siculus'', and Strabo, besides many others beside, do clearly testify. This Gampar with his Germans made war on all of Asia, and filled it with his warlike name. From this the name of ''kampf'' or ''kempfer'' took its origin as a warlike deed But the abovementioned Aventinus says who did first make use of the duel, that even ''Hercules'' the son of ''Osir'' the king of the Egyptians, born from his spouse ''Isis'', who is also called ''Ceres'', did first bring the duel to German lands. There are also those who say that long before the Trojan War in ''Arcadia'' the duel was practiced by a native prince called ''Lycaon''. But so that the kind reader may not be made confused or doubtful, he should know that this ''Lycaon'' lived long after both king Kampfer and ''Hercules''. | |

+ | '''If one would look''' however towards the usefulness for defense and well-being of this knightly exercise, there are found numerous good examples and testimonies; for whence all the well-rounded, proficient and obedient men-at-arms if not from experience and the maintenance of good order. But who can exert good order in situations of emergency if not those with innate virility who desire to further this same quality by constant courageousness, and those would be the same as can instruct others in manhood, virtue and honesty. If these honest men have a position and influence with high potentates governments of kingdoms, provinces and cities, doubtlessly they will gain many as disciples and students who love and exert virility, so that in a city, not to mention in a province, such persons who are inclined to protect the fatherland, and who will undertake to gain agility to this end by the practice of knightly exercise, will be found in great numbers. So it must most surely follow that the same kingdoms, provinces and cities, even if in their location and fortifications they may not appear strong or firm, but with such inhabitants and citizens inhabited and occupied, will appear and be considered that much more firm, stronger and more militant against the enemy, as is well shown and testified by the following examples and histories. | ||
− | + | '''The virility of''' the Greeks and especially of the Lacedaemonians, citizens of the most famous city of Sparta are very well known to anyone acquainted with history. [Pluta: fol.75.] Furthermore, their knightly virtues before the city of Troy, and in many other places, are evident. ''Plutarch'' writes much praise of their manhood in his ''Aphotegmata''<ref name="Plutarch">''Regum et imperatorum apophthegmata'' ("Sayings of kings and emperors") in Plutarch's ''Moralia''.</ref> and says that these Spartans had the custom that whenever they went to war against their enemies, their kings would always have to go ahead in the foremost rank and be the first to attack the enemy with manly courage, and one of their best knights would, if the king had earlier won a treasure such as a crown or a wreath in a fencing-school, carry this finely adorned in front of him, so as to show that their king was equipped with a spirit of manhood, and they would have other expert and honest warriors with them. For this they would contest all the more manfully and artfully for the treasures in the fencing-schools, in order to gain much honour and be placed next to the king in war and with honest praise and courage would move against the enemy in the front of the army. They did also disdain the best positions, such as fortifications, walls and trenches, and against these did much praise knightly manhood. ''Agis'', the second king of the Lacedaemonians, as at one time he moved on the city of Corinth, saw that this same city was surrounded by strong, long walls and fortifications, and he said, alas, who are these women that have taken and occupy the fortified place, as if he would say that honest and doughty men should not have any regard for such strong fortification but in need should praise the courage of the heart and the honesty of the mind and the prowess of the fist and prefer them over all fortification. By such honesty this king ''Agis'' did honourably reign over the realm of the Spartans for fifty years and left it behind in good stability. [Apopht. fol.17.] ''Agesilaus'' the sixth king of the Spartans was at one time asked why the city of Sparta was not protected and so ill equipped with walls and fortifications. To this the king answered and said, see these armed citizens, well-exercised in all knightly sports: these are the fortification and walls of the city of Sparta, by which he meant that virility is to be praised above all fortifications. This king ''Agesilaus'' did also reign over and preserve the realm of the Spartans for 44 years. | |

+ | '''''Herodotus''''' writes in his seventh book, ''Polymnia'', how ''Xerxes'', the king of the Persians [and] Medes, out of presumption and prompted by an exiled Greek named ''Demarathus'' did incite a handsome great war on water and on land against the Greeks. But when king ''Xerxes'' with his people reached the borders of the Greeks at a pass called the ''Thermopyle'', he ordered the most renowned and strongest men and captains of the Persians in great number to take that same place as an entrance to the land of ''Greece''. Before that, the Greeks had occupied that place with three hundred Spartan citizens who according to their custom had with them their king ''Leonidas'', and they did wait there with all avidity of denying the enemy entry and held good and careful watch with all knightly experience and preparation against the Persians. As the Persians arrived at this said place, they found such a warlike and manly opposition on the part of the Greek garrison that they required many numerous attacks and attempts, and they lost a notable number, namely up to 20,000 among whom two kings, three princes and many of the Persian nobility from the legion known as the immortals along with their best warriors. As the king perceived his misfortune, he cried with a loud voice, O Jupiter, I have been deceived in this, that I led on such a long campaign all too many but only little well-exercised soldiers, as if he would say, conquest and victory does not depend on the amount and number of the army, but on the knightly virility of the warriors. And he did suffer such great damage from these three-hundred men at the said place, that he did many times rue the war which he had ventured against the Greeks, and it did often cause him to sigh. And in many months he did not succeed in taking this place, not with all his army, until at the last he turned his mind to treason. Only then did a shepherd, whom he had coaxed with much cost and promise, communicate to him a secret and unknown path down from the mountains, by which path and by treason the honest Spartans were surrounded from both sides with much might and great number of men so that all of them, after long and honest defense, were slain by the Persians, even to the last man (as none of them would have been parted from their king). And as the pass had been taken, king Xerxes and a number of his captains came on the battlefield and out of curiosity wanted to inspect the Spartans, and found them lying on their bellies, and not their backs, and their faces were hewn most grievously, he did praise them most fittingly, even though they were his enemies, saying, O how blessed is this land that generates many such exercised honest men. And inquiring after the occupation and disport favoured by such men, he was answered that they were never idle and of great frugality. Inquiring further for what reward they would do such, the Arcadians replied that they would ever exercise themselves in fencing-schools and duelling-spaces, on horseback and on foot, and those who excelled there would be honoured by a wreath made from oil-palm, which among them was held as the highest praise. [Herodo: fol:224.] As the king heard this, he turned to his captains and said, ''O Demarathe Demarathe'' (i.e. the name of the man who instigated him to wage war against the Greeks), against what manner of men did you incite us to make war, such as do not perform and exercise their duels and knightly sport for gain or payment but for manly honour and virtue, and he did much deplore that he had proposed to war with such honest men. And after many battles he fought against them, at sea and on land, he must retreat and pull out of the land of ''Greece'' nothing achieved, and with great loss of men and in disgrace.<ref name="schaden">Vienna: ''mit schaden'' "with damage", Dresden: ''mit schanden'' "with dishonour/ignominy".</ref> | ||
− | + | Of these and comparable deeds of honour that have their origin and source in the knightly exercises, as have occurred both among the Greeks and the Romans, there would be much more to tell. But it would seem to me to become over-much and so as to not displease the reader I will forbear. | |

+ | '''No wine at all''' did they cultivate, and neither did they import any. Their garments were cut close to the body and very tight. They did not allow any peddler to bring them any foreign jewelry, gems or garments. Their weapons were swords, battle-axe, bladed spear and short and narrow blades they called ''frimmen'', i.e. rapiers or daggers. No helmets or iron hats did they at first have, but shields, targes and pavises<ref name="gafese">''pafese'' read for ''gafese'' (i.e. ''pavese'', the infantry shields comparable to the Roman rectangular shields of the early imperial period)</ref> behind which they would bravely disrobe, and which they finely adorned with colours, from whence originate the heraldic coats of arms. Thrown darts and shooting-arrows, and javelins did they also use, but no youth might carry a side-arm unless his neighbors first did testify him to be an honest man fit for the army. | ||
− | + | Such testimony would he who would carry arms need to present at the following assembly and diet. Then the authorities or his closest friends would gird him with his weapon and on his neck hang a shield, congratulate him, and henceforth he would be declared [a free man] of his province. In warfare and battle they had this custom, that they would take with them their wives and children, even those still in the cradle, and they must prepare and serve food and drink for the men, oil, try, bandage and treat their wounds and they then showed their wounds to their mothers and wives, who felt no abhorrence therefrom, but gave much praise for them. And when they fought a battle against their enemies, the wives and children must keep nearby, so that the men could hear the weeping of their little children, and the wives would shout and admonish their men to be brave and keen and not to flee, fighting not just for their country and people but also for their wives and children. This did often contribute to their victory, as ''Tacitus'' reports. For this reason they conducted their marriage according to the following manner. None could take a wife other than he was of grown age, and likewise the virgins must be of proper age, resulting in great, tall, strong people, and as they were joined, they practiced the custom that the wife would bring no dowry to the man, neither money nor property, but for a sword, which she gave to him for the purpose that he must use it to protect her, her children, and the fatherland. The man on the other hand must have a certain property, which however did not include money, or silken garment or clothes, with which he might adorn and bedeck the bride, but he must own two heads of cattle and an ox, joined in a yoke, a saddled horse a pavise or shield, a hewing-knife and a thrusting-spear. If he had these, the bride was given in his hand. This was all her marriage-portion, dowry, morning-gift, wreath and ring, hand-fasting and wedding-feast, church-going and consecration. The closest friends would inspect all the mentioned pieces, and if they were good, they were satisfied and wished them happiness and fertility in birth, and they were joined in that hour and the marriage was concluded. But the significance and meaning of these pieces was that just as the cattle under the yoke the couple must never part, in joy or sorrow, in war or otherwise, but they must live and lie together, journey and travel, and keenly dare all things, which was signified by the saddled horse. Also, the sword, shield, knife and spear must be kept by the wife in the event of the man's death, so that she might pass to her sons and children their father's marriage-portion at the proper time, and it would be kept and passed on even to the third generation. | |

+ | '''At their high''' festivals they had this disport, that when the old were gathered together, the young must perform a sword-dance, and dance artfully over the naked swords, and those who were best at this were doing very well. They also had the custom that when any of them killed an enemy who was a great lord, they would cut off his head and fit his cranium in silver or gold depending on their wealth, and on feast days they would drink from it, and would let their children and nobody else drink from it, unless they had testimony that he was a man capable of military service and had in warfare put one or several men from life to death. Such a one, and nobody else, might drink from the honour-vessel. Not any peddlers did they allow to come to them to bring them foreign clothing or gems or other jewelry, and they never abandoned their manner of costume, never allowing the wearing of foreign styles, and with these habits did the Germans first originate, and they held to them so stoutly and bravely that by their manly honesty they harried and warred and inhabited and built fortresses in nearly all countries, such as Spain, France, Italy, Greece, Asia and Africa, and for several hundred years they did much damage to the Romans with their knightly exercise and warfare, and fought battles with them in many places, now winning, now losing, and eventually pushed them out of German lands altogether, until at last Julius the first emperor for seven years waged war and finally conquered the parts now known as France, but which at the time (as ''Aventius'' writes) was German, so that the river Rhine became a boundary of the Roman empire. Also the warrior women called by the Latins the ''Amazones'' had their origin with the Germans, which took the land of Scythia with a great host and dwelt there for a long time, and from there made war on other countries. Under the reign of their queen ''Pentesilea'', these were held in great honour at Troy in the war against the Greeks, in all knightly armour on horse and on foot. So this is now a brief summary of the traditions and laws of our ancient Germans, such as were proscribed and set down by their king ''Tuisto'' the grandson of ''Noah'' and by their king ''Herman''.<ref name="Tuisto">''Tuisto'' is the primeval god of the Germanic peoples according to Tacitus. Aventinus euhemerizes him as the grandson of Noah and first king of the Germans (r. 2214–2038 BC). ''Herman'' here is not the historical Arminius, but the fifth king in Aventinus' list (r. 1820–1757 BC), founder of the Herminones or continental Germans.</ref> | ||
− | + | '''From the above''', kind fencer and reader, you may deduce to what extent this hard knightly exercise, kept so firmly by our ancient Germans, gave to Germany great liberty, honour and everlasting praise, and if things were still the same (concerning knightly and manly exercise) in German lands, and the knightly exercise were still held in such esteem, if vices such as usury, games, excessive eating and drinking, blaspheming, and disdain of all good arts besides other frivolity would be avoided and punished, what great profit, praise and honour for all of Germany would arise from this still in the present day. But instead all vices have taken such a terrible hold, primarily at the princely courts but also in cities and villages, that the abuses have grown to the point that aberration and lack of virtue out of old and evil habit are now adhered to as if it were a law, which is evident and in plain daylight so that anyone can see the pitiful state of affairs. | |

+ | '''Our ancient''' and pious Germans for a long time did not allow any foreign peddler to bring them foreign clothing and costly armour. Much less did they allow the manufacture or use of such among them, indeed they would have been ashamed to be seen straying from their German knightly character and custom. The Spartans slew one of their warriors for the only reason that he had somewhat changed his costume and had decorated his shield with purple silk, so much did foreign finery appall them. ''Charles'', the first of this name, known as the Great, who was properly a native German, and who first brought the rule of the Roman Empire to the Germans, was in the habit of always using the old German costume and none other for as long as he lived. Not more than on three instances, and this only to please the pope, did he don a Latin long mantle and broad slippers, which he later did often rue. Many of his princes and rich noblemen in the Italian wars had bought many costly ornaments and foreign garments. But as they put them on for a high festival and the emperor spotted them, he chided them loudly in front of all the people, mocked them and said, wherefore, wherefore you free Swabians and Franks, how you have utterly perverted yourselves and changed the German character and manner with foreign costume. Are you not now wearing on your bodies the clothing of those on whom you earlier so valiantly made war and forced to submit to you? What, would you also pervert your courage in like manner? Fie for the shame that you would put an everlasting blame on the German name, which is frightful to all other nations, with this transformation of yours. Look at yourself, how you are clothed. While your emperor, making allowance for the necessity of nature may cover himself. Why do you spend your gold and silver so as to corrupt your fathers for such shameful goods and clothing? Or do you no longer want to be free, but slaves like your enemies, whose clothes you are wearing? He then forced the same princes and noblemen to join him in assiduous hunting, both in summer and wintertime, and they must keep wearing the above described adornment and clothing, and he led them through great hedges and bushwork. After the hunt, he sat beside them at the fire, and their foreign clothing was torn by the branches, and the remaining tatters were singed and burned by the fire, such that they no longer offered protection. But the clothing of the pious emperor, which was a wolf's pelt, remained whole and fresh, and he mocked them greatly for what costly but useless clothes they had bought for a high price. This pious emperor ''Charles'' with his keen and firm courage and great heart did appear so frightening to all nations that all pagan kings feared him. The kings of Asia, Persia and Africa sent him messages and honoured him with gifts, and so much he attained with them that for him the Egyptian king did freely offer all of Jerusalem, along with the tomb of Christ, cleared of all pagans, to the Christians, just so he would keep him as a friend in his coalition. As he received the foreign messages he would always have his imperial sword on his side, plated with gold and hung on a golden knight's belt, and keep his hand on its pommel, so as to present his virility in this way. But how the clothing and armour of the ancients compare with the modern clothing of our time, is most easy to describe, as just within living memory they have undergone manifold changes, and still in the present day it is the custom that he who would just invent much novelty is held dear by the lords, so that it happens that manhood was changed to lust and vanity, and the praise of the Germans is failing, may that God would mend this. | ||
− | + | '''In what way however our''' Germans of these days follow and keep to the ancient Germans with regard to wine-drinking, games and exercise of knightly sport, their marriage and their meals, much could be written on this, as regrettably these things, when compared would present a very strange and awkward relation. The old, when they sat at their meals and symposia with their friends of high or low birth, would tell about the honest deeds of their ancestors, which was heard by the young, who took to heart to have desire and love towards the knightly art of fencing from which the most chivalrous gain praise. This with artful assiduity they exercised, and vices such as drinking, gambling, lust of women, vanity of clothing, they did forego. [Apoph: fol.721.] ''Plutarch'' writes in his ''Apophtegmata'' that king ''Antigonus'' once asked the philosopher ''Menedemus'' if he should go drinking with a number of good fellows of his. ''Menedemus'' replied with a single phrase and said, ah, he is a king's son, by which he would indicate that the habit of wine-drinking does ill befit kings, princes and others of superior rank, meaning that there is other exercise and practice than drinking, to which to apply themselves would be more praisworthy and more profitable for them. | |
− | + | [Apoph: fol.312.] Likewise with Alexander the Great in his youth, at one time after he had been drinking wine and came back home to court, and his father Philip was told that his son Alexander had been drinking wine and had been singing very well, king Philipp was much displeased and chided him with these words, saying, are you not ashamed of yourself that you are so apt in drinking and singing, as if he would say, are you not a king's son, why are you dealing with such disdainful practice, are you proposing to support your kingdom by such frivolity after my death, or do you have such modest and childlike neighbours in the cities of Athens, Corinth, Argis, Corcica and others, so turn your mind to knightly arts, which serve for the development of your realm, honour and prosperity. At this instruction and scolding Alexander was so dismayed that he fast dedicated himself to knightly exercises, for which he gained later reward on many duelling-fields, and finally culminated in this, that within twelve years he subjugated and conquered the entire world with his knightly disposition. And truly, as I see it, if such knightly exercise according to the ancient manner and custom, in place of frivolous exercise, which over time have become so ubiquitous not just at royal or princely courts but also in the cities and everywhere and have displaced the exercise of good virtue, should again become well-established with both high and lower government, it would surely be highly profitable and useful for Germany and its degenerated prestige and dodgy reputation. | |

And he did establish the praiseworthy knightly sport of the tourney in the year 938 with the counsel of his princes and lords, adorned with twelve praiseworthy, honourable and Christian articles, so as to conserve honour, virtue and honesty in the Holy Empire of the German Nation. In this manner that none among the nobility, princes or counts, might participate in the knightly sport of the tourney if they violated the said twelve articles. Whoever did so was made the mockery of all princes, lords and ladies, put on the barriers, denuded of horse, weapons and armour, and publicly proclaimed a villain by the heralds, so that the princes, lords and noblemen were incited to good virtues and avoided many great vices. | |

[The second by] the count Palatine: whoso treacherously acts against any proscription or prohibition of the emperor's. [The third by] the duke of Swabia: whoso dishonours or weakens ladies or virgins. [The fourth by] the duke of Bavaria: whoso is recognized as in breach of treaty, in perjury or dishonour.

And so on by other lords beside: [6th] whoso slays his bed-fellow or instigates manslaughter; [7th] whoso despoils churches or hermitages, widows or orphans by threat of violence; [8th] whoso harries, pillages or feuds with another without declaration or proper claim.

+ | '''But at length''' it could not persist and the knightly exercise did not take root, as the jurists say, it should be clearly set down and established in the laws of the imperial fencers. Namely, as all games have been prohibited, so should the knightly game of fencing not just remain unprohibited, but should be and remain freely allowed for everyone, which would serve the [? and] ingraining of the knightly exercise, but with much surprise we hear that all the world would obstruct, rage and rant for the prohibited if it serves to no good, and the little which many should love, they let be abandoned and fall into disdain, so that nigh all good virtue is eclipsed, as is regrettably often the case both in times of peace and of war. | ||
+ | |||
+ | '''But on the other hand''' all sorts of new-fangled arts, as for example the pernicious shooting, are seen in this our time, of which the princes and lords now make avid use in warfare, by which the knightly art is sorely weakened and there is a sore decline in the supply of brave heroes. | ||
+ | |||
+ | By this harsh art, many a courageous hero's life was stolen surreptitiously and from afar, who would otherwise could well have saved and made for himself an immortal name of praise by virtue of his knightly spirit. Plutarch writes [Apoph. fol: 61.], as ''Archidamus'' for the first time set eyes on a catapult, which was first invented in Sicily, he began to lament with a loud voice, by the god Hercules, the courage of men will go to ruin, as if he would say, if more such and alike instruments were to be invented and used in war, there will be no longer any difference between bawdy, slothful and lusty, valiant men-at-arms. And thus will decay all knightly exercise, and in its place all cunning, sloth and vice will grow apace, and such has regretfully happened and is now in full fashion. From this it has truly been shown over time that there is a great scarcity of doughty, brave and strong men who have invented artillery, mortars, catapults or other such implements. ''Socrates'' was asked by the Spartans, where were all the strong heroes and doughty, well-versed warriors. Well, said Socrates, at Troy. By which he wanted to convey that as at Troy was held knightly exercise but that there the very nucleus of Greek knighthood, warring for honour, had over time fallen, so that at the present time there was only left a shadow or spectre of their former praise. What can I say, oftentimes men, and especially the Roman emperor and king, were trying to aid this knightly art, but this has never really taken hold, as we have amply set out above. Finally, the knightly art has come to this, that it developed the Brotherhood known as Saint Mark's, which the most eminent, most mighty Roman emperors of most praiseworthy memory, Frederick, the third of this name, Maximilian, and now the invincible prince, Charles himself all three nobly born of the old and praiseworthy house of Austria,<ref name="Frederick">the successive Habsburg emperors Frederick III, Maximilian I and Charles V, spanning the period since the supposed disestablishment of the knightly tournament and the establishment of the Brotherhood of St. Mark or ''Marxbrüder''. The ''Freifechter'' denounced by Mair seem to represent an early form of the guild later known as ''Federfechter'' (unless the term still has a generic meaning, ''frei'' as in "unincorporated").</ref> so that this knightly exercise may not decay completely, and at this time may once again be aided with privileges and liberties, presented furnished with their best and most gracious sympathy. Namely such that on every autumn's fair in Frankfurt, those who would be or become master of the sword, must first be examined in their masterly test in the iron-run[?] and golden art by ordained and sworn masters of Saint Mark's Brotherhood, and all that is pertinent to the knightly fencing with all virtue they must request and confirm their completion under oath. These [masters of the sword] may then hold schools as far as does extend the Roman Empire of the German Nation and may teach to other men on their request the proper manner of the sword. But for two reasons this exercise is held in low regard, the first, that gamblers, drunkards, usurers and lovers of beautiful women have been given much room in the highest places, such as princely courts and in the chief cities of the empire, and knightly art and exercise may not thrive due to them, but must always stay hidden behind the door, and the second, that numerous masters of the sword and otherwise masters, also Freifechter and numerous other fencers, to their own damage and disadvantage and that of the praiseworthy ancient art, act ineptly and ignominiously, foster envy and hatred in their fencing in schools, such that the young would hold the old in contempt at the fencing-school, and force on them their wantonness, and in addition abuse themselves of too much wine, from which results much frivolous discord, much to the chagrin of the authorities, and causes a considerable decline in the noble art. All this then serves more the extirpation than to the taking root of the noble and ancient knightly art, as pains me at the heart, and I would rather (in the interest of the noble art) hide it by my silence than to report it, especially as these vices are also hardly conductive to civil order. So I would gladly instruct all pious honest fencers to the profit and benefit of the fatherland, in the hope that they should be rewarded for it by everlasting praise. | ||
− | + | [Apoph. fol: .7.] ''Plutarch'' writes in his courtly aphorisms that the excellent scholar ''Carillus'' was asked, which were the most praiseworthy cities, and he answered to this effect, that those cities were the best and safest, in which the citizens do not quarrel for ambition or authority, but one desires to excel the other by means of manly virtue (but without rioting) and would gladly be the foremost in the furtherance of communal benefit. For this the gods of the Spartans were all conceived as wearing armour and carrying arms, as if they wanted to convey that even the gods themselves had enmity and hatred for sloth and idleness. But [now] all would defend lust and sloth and pretend that one could still rule and sustain a land and people, even though the knightly sport of fencing is no longer as much in fashion as it used to be in the beginning, because this art would also produce insolent, proud and foolhardy men, and for this reason should be closely supervised. To these I know no short answer, then it is true, that a regrettably large number of men who undertake to learn the knightly art within their own insolent wantonness, and that for this reason, they use their force to commit outrage and in anger cause injury to other men, as happened in Rome at one time as two fencing-masters did attach to themselves a great number of fencers and rioted in Italy causing so much damage to the common man that the mayors of Rome led the whole army against them, fought them, and had to exterminate them. Those, who are such men, I do not deem worthy of being named honest fencers, nor are they in no way worthy of any praise, and I do not wish to publish this work of honour to their praise, but to impel them to good virtue. Such reckless fencers to not consort with honourable men, but with lions, bears, leopards, tigers, wild cattle, and buffaloes, or with bad, outlawed, evil men as was the custom of the Romans. For their use of fencing and foolhardiness they shall receive no praise whatsoever from my part. | |
+ | |||
+ | '''But there is found no''' faculty in all the world which does not share in such danger and worry, for a man may study whatever he likes, be he a ''theologian, jurist, medicus'' or some other besides, if his heart is not honest, pious and his spirit not upright, then all that which he is capable of and which he studied will only serve to the detriment and damage of himself and of others. Therefore no-one who desires to learn the knightly art should be dismayed by such lazy insinuations, and it does seem to me that such lazy insinuation does exclusively emanate from lazy and ignominious men who as the Epicureans put their attention only on all laziness and bodily lust, and that they have good and lazy days, a calm life, the best dainties, the best wine and drink according to all their whims and pleasure, may God provide for honest manhood and knightly sport by which land and people are sustained, and if these would utterly decay, they would not care much. Yea they would not care to have their garment wrinkled[?] for the sake of the common good, and that much less would they risk the smallest part of their pleasure. These are the right fellows born in the kingdom of Cockaigne. The ancients have composed a fable of the land of Cockaigne as a determent for the young, where the houses are built from gingerbread, with fences made from wattled sausages, and hail and rain of sugar, the streams and fountains are filled with tasty wine, and all fowls are roasted, and do not have to be caught but roasted they fly into the mouth of anyone who so desires. Also, who can sleep and keep lazy for the longest time, and can hold himself with superfluous eating and drinking in a way that goes against nature, these are supported by a liberal yearly provision, and other similar things besides, such is contained in the order and statutes of this land of Cockaigne.<ref name="Schlaraffen">''Schlaraffenland'' is the German adaptation of ''Coquaigne'' (''Cucania''), first encountered in the 15th century (as ''schlauraff'', ''schluderaffe'') and popularised by Hans Sachs (1558). The name seems to originate as an (unattested) medieval slur meaning "lazy idler", ''schlu(de)r-affe'', lit. "drooping ape".</ref> But while the ancients had the opposite intent in this, and wanted to incite the lazy men to prowess by means of mockery, these fellows are so much opposed to it as if they would want to own the land of Cockaigne, and take a position of government and authority therein, and all good arts they disdain, besmirch and even try to extirpate by their lazy insinuation just to gloss over their slothfulness and their inert, godless lives. | ||

− | + | '''All kinds of examples''' of honesty are found in the histories, which indicate clearly that the empires, countries and cities are sustained by honesty of spirit and prowess of the fist, but that they dissolve and are undone by lazy inertia. The Assyrian Empire, which was the first empire in this world, did take its origin with king ''Ninus'' and by thirty-six kings was ruled in full honesty during one thousand two hundred and forty years. But on his accession their final king, ''Sardanapolus''<ref name="Assyria">Ninus: the legendary founder of Nineveh according to Ctesias (''Persica'', ca. 400 BC); Ctesias' Sardanapolus corresponds to Ashurbanipal (669 - 627 BC); Ctesias is a rather unreliable source by comparison with Herodotus and the Ptolemaic king list; but in any case knowledge on the Assyrian empire was very limited before the decipherment of cuneiform in the 1850s.</ref> ruled in such a way that under his rule sloth, lust of women, excessive eating and drinking, and gambling, became so rife that he drowned in these said vices, while honesty was in such low esteem that his own people grew disobedient and deserted him, and was divided in gangs and parties, and he was finally chased and exiled from his own empire, and thus by his negligent laziness, disrespect of knightly exercise and bad government, the Assyrian Empire came to its end with him. This king was often found in his women's quarters when he should have been dedicating himself to knighthood, and to please them he used to work the spindle. He had made costly preparation of his tomb before his death, and on it he ordered the following inscription [folio. 46.] ''Sardanapolus Anecendarases. Ede, bibe, lude.'' which in German means this, Sardanapolus of Anecendarasis, eat, drink, play. In this the kind reader may well perceive what difference in success and failure there is between slothful and valiant lords. As Xerxes, king in Persia, re-conquered and brought into his power the city of Babylon after it had seceded from him, he considered how he could keep the great city of Babylon so that it would not secede from him again, and to this end he ordered that all Babylonian citizens and inhabitants may not carry any weapon, and may no longer exercise knightly sport, but he allowed them to visit the taverns and drink wine every night, to sing and whistle and also that they might have beautiful women, and might wear plaited dresses. All this he did with the intent of turning honest men into soft women, which indeed then did come to pass as they became used to pleasures, so that their manhood declined and thence he might rein them as with a bridle, which also did come to pass. | |

Saint ''David'' praised God the almighty many times, so that he might lend him grace and strength, and that his fingers would be ready to make war on his enemies.<ref name="Psalm">Gideon: Judges 7:4-7; David: Psalm 144:1: "Blessed be the LORD my strength, which teacheth my hands to war, and my fingers to fight" (KJV).</ref> He also says how his help or hope are not in his sword, bow or arrow, but his hope is in the Lord.

I have included not without special reverence many old and new illustrated plays, which I have adopted from princes and lords, Jews and Christians and old fencing-masters. And much I had to purchase. From these I drew only the very best and most suitable to the art, and these said plays in all weapons as are contained in this book I let be practiced and fenced again and again by two brave and doughty fencers, who shared my desire and love for the knightly art, who did receive no small reward. And these same with all plays and articles I let be written down properly and assiduously, as is seen in each weapon and from play to play in this book (which is divided in two parts and equipped and adorned with additional very usable registers) [I am] in the certain hope that the proper lovers of this knightly art will put this knightly art-book to the best use and with grateful spirit shall be willing towards the Almighty for all well-being of body and soul, to which end I wish and desire for all honest and art-loving fencers the strength and the grace of God the Almighty. | |

+ | It happens hence that you stand in this ''Kampfstuck'' with your left foot forward and hold the sword in the manner of the ''Pflug'', and grip with your left hand on your blade such that the point stands against the opponent. Step outward with your right foot, lift up powerfully over your head, and with that thrust at him in whatever opening you see. | ||
+ | |||
+ | If he thrusts towards you like this and you are also positioned in the manner of the ''Pflug'' with your left foot forward, then follow with your right foot outward and displace his thrust with the portion of your blade between your hands. | ||

+ | The following device is performed in this manner: step forward with your right foot and hold your dussack raised over your head. If your opponent is standing before you this way, then step forward with your left foot and strike from above to his head. If he strikes you in this manner, then you too step forward with your left foot and parry him with the long edge. Then you step to your opponent's left so that your foot is standing below beside his left foot. Then you turn your dussack so that your point is pointing toward your opponent's right and swiftly grab hold of the middle of your dussack with your left hand and press against your opponent's neck with the long edge forward, and then with all your might push him back with your dussack, and if you at the same time put your foot in behind his knee, you can throw him over by pulling him to you. If you are held in the same manner above and below, then reach with your left hand under his right and raise it up. Then, if you as quickly as you can try to thrust him in the face, he will have to let you go, and parry your thrust, and this way you will get away safe and sound. | ||

+ | In this device you stand with your left foot forward and hold your dussack with the right arm outstretched in a strike from above, so that the long edge is pointing forward. Then you step forward with your right foot and strike straight toward his head with the long edge. If the opponent does this to you, then step forward with your right foot toward him and strike as well against his strike and thrust your point into his face so that you parry his strike with the short edge, but when you are doing so, make sure to step in with your left foot and reach with your arm over his right arm behind his dussack, so that you have it firmly locked behind your shoulder blade. If your opponent is holding you in the same manner, then place your right foot on the inside behind his left and quickly turn your arm to the left and put it around his neck, and then you grab hold above his chest and pull him over your left foot, that way he will fall over and can do no more. | ||

+ | |||
+ | In this device you stand with your right foot forward and strike a feigned strike from above at your opponent, and at the same time you step forward with your left foot, but as soon as you have pulled back the strike, you move the point in toward his face. If your opponent tries to do the same, and thrusts towards your face, and you are standing in the scale position, then step forward with your left foot and your dussack raised with straight arm over your head, with the point toward the opponent and the long edge up. If you do this, as well as you thrust with the point toward the left side of his face you will parry his thrust to your right. Then you go down into the scale position with your left leg outside his left and hold your dussack in protection with the long edge facing up. Then you grab hold of with your left hand in his left foot that he has stepped forward with, lift it up and strike from below to his arm with the long edge and the outermost part of your dussack, and at the same time you hold your dussack in good defense resting against his right arm, and in this manner you can throw your opponent over. If he were to do the same to you, then grab hold with your left hand in the inside of his wrist, and pull hard toward you, that way you will force him to fall with you if he does not let go. | ||

− | + | In this device, where both of you are using the same technique, and both are standing with left foot forward, and you are holding your dussack with straight arm, so that the long edge is facing up, and you direct your point from your left side into the opponent's face. Then you lower your dussack a little and turn your hand so that the short edge is facing up, and strike twice toward your opponent's head. If your opponent strikes his point into your face, you enter scale position, and pull in your right hand you are holding your dussack with, towards your chest and turn up the point and remove his thrust with the long egde, and if he tries to strike twice to your head, raise the dussack in defence so that the long edge is facing up, and thrust into his face. Then you lower the dussack and grab hold of his left foot that he has forward, and lift it up. Of he tries to strike at your head at the same time you step forward out of your parry and remove his strike you your left, and lay the dussack with the long edge against his right hand. Then you push away from you above, as you lift up below and he will fall to the ground. If you were to be held by your opponent in the same way, then grab hold as quickly as you can with your left hand onto the inside of his right hand, press down and pull against you, and he will fall with you, and you stop him from placing his dussack to your arm, and in the fall you can hit him in the head. | |

+ | [1] '''The first two bindings with the pike on the weak and the strong ''' | ||
+ | |||
+ | Do this device thus: hold your pike on your left side, and stand with your left foot forward. Stretch out your right hand holding the back end of your pike on your right side and take hold of it with the left hand. Then, step forward with your right foot and thrust to his face. If he attacks you thus, and you then stand with your left foot forward, holding your pike with at level with your left knee, and the right hand by your right leg, then parry his thrust with the front end of your pike, change through, step forward with the right foot, and thrust to the right side of his chest from our right side. Should he parry this, let the tip sink to the ground, step back with the right foot and lift up the pike in front of your face wih the right hand over your head, place it back on the side and thrust from your right side to his left. If he thrusts at you thus, then parry his thrust, step back with the right foot and swing the pike up, and go to the strong, ie you direct the pike towards his face, and sense if he presses his pike hard or loose against yours on your right side. Then grab the pike with in the front end again, step forward with your right foot and thrust to his face on his right side. If he parries, then step back with the right foot again, lower the point to the ground, and lift it over your head in good protection, as you back away from him. | ||

+ | |||
+ | When you engage in fencing with the pike in this device, you do thus: stand with your right foot forward and direct the point towards his face, and keep your left hand by the left leg. Then, step forward with your left foot and thrust towards his throat. If your opponent on the other hand attacks you thus, and you then stand with your right foot forward and the right hand by the right knee, and your left hand above your left leg, then do as follows: move his thrust aside to your right with your front end, step forward with left foot1 and thrust to his face. Should he parry, you change through underneath, and thrust to his chest. Then, you step forward again with your right foot and lift the pike up into free position, ie holding it level with your head, either to the right or left of you, and then thrust to his face. If he attacks you thus, then step back with the left foot and parry with a crossed changing guard to your left. Take a step bak further with your right foot and turn the pike out of the changing guard to your right and thrust again at the same spot. Then you lower the tip raise your right hand above your head, holding the pike in front of your face in good protection. Furthermore, should your opponent use the same double thrust against you, then quickly parry between your hands, step forward with your left foot and thrust to his chest, then you may retreat from him unharmed. | ||

+ | [3] '''Right and left open guard''' | ||
+ | |||
+ | The right open guard is performed thus: stand with your right foot forward and the point on the ground, left hand on back end and right hand by your right knee. From here, you step forward with your left foot, raise the point and thrust to his face. If he tries to do this to you, and you then stand with your left foot forward, with left hand by your left knee, and the right hand on the back end, and leave the open guard and enter into the crossed changer, and parry as you take a step back with the left foot. Then raise the pike into free standing with feet together, and the pike resting on your left elbow. Step forward again with the left foot, and thrust hard against your opponent’s face. If your opponent parries, step forward again with your right foot, and thrust to his left side. If he does this to you, then push away his thrust with the front end of your pike, from the left side to your right, and quickly thereafter you step forward with your right foot and thrust to his groin. Should he parry, you step forward with the left foot, raise the pike above your head and thrust to his face. If he does the same double thrust to you, then parry with the front end, change through from his left to his right and thrust to his face or chest. Then, turn to your right in open guard with right foot forward and withdraw from your opponent in good defence. | ||

+ | [4] '''Free standing against the bar guard ''' | ||
+ | |||
+ | When entering before your opponent, perform the free standing thus: stand upright with your left side turned toward him, and hold your pike resting on your left arm with the point towards your opponent, and your right hand on the back end. From here, you step forward with the right foot, and thrust as hard as you can towards his body. If your opponent comes at you this way while you are standing in the crossed changer, right foot forward, then pull back your right foot, and parry his thrust to your right. Then, step forward again with your right foot, and thrust to his face. If he parries, then you step further with your left foot, change through from your right side to his left, and thrust to his chest. If he does this to you, then parry with the front end of your pike and, step forward with your left foot and thrust him in the chest as well. If he parries, and you are then standing with your left foot forward, then parry with your front end, step forward with the right leg, and thrust to his face. Then step back again and lower the point to the ground, raise your right hand over your head and the pike before your face. Should he then come after you, then execute an as long thrust as you can at him and move away from him, well defended. | ||

+ | [5] '''Binding in the middle of the pike agains a thrust to the face ''' | ||
+ | |||
+ | In this device you thus: put your left foot forward, and hold your pike in the middle, with left hand forward, and the right by your left leg. From here you shoot the pike through your hands towards your opponent’s chest. If he does this to you, and you are about to thrust to his face, standing with the left foot forward, you step forward with right, turn the pike to the left of you and thrust to his face. Should he parry, then step back with the right foot, and if the opponent comes after shooting his pike at you, then parry to your right with the crossed changer guard, step forward again with your right and thrust to his face. If he were to do a double thrust against you thus, then parry with with your front end, change through from your right side to your opponent’s left and thrust him under his left arm. If he parries, then step forward with your left and thrust to his groin. If he does it to you, and you are then standing with your right leg forward, then pull it back and parry to your left, step forward again and thrust to his front leg. Should he parry this, you raise pike and thrust to his face, and then withdraw from him away from danger. | ||

+ | This device is performed thus: stand with your left foot forward and thrust to his face from your right side towards is left. He he does so, and you are then standing with your left foot forward, then parry with your front end, and thrust to his groin. Should he do so, then pull back your left foot and parry with your front end, step forward again, and thrust to his chest. If he parries, then turn your pike over his, and thrust to his face. If he uses the same double thrust against you, then parry with the middle of your pike, step forward with your right foot and thrust your point to his face. If he sees it and parries, then turn through with your pike, step forward with your left and thrust to his right side. Should he do so, then parry with the front end to your right, step forward with your right foot and enter the strong of your pike, ie. You raise it and direct it towards your opponent’s face and sense whether he pushes his pike firmly against yours or not. From there you attack him wherever you see him open, above or on the inside. Should your opponent do this to you, however, you raise the pike above your head and parry, and then thrust to his face. Thereafter you withdraw from him well protected. | ||

+ | |||
+ | Enter the simple changer as follows: step forward with your left leg, and hold your pike with the point to the ground, your left hand by your left knee and your right on the back end to your right. From here, step forward with your right foot and thrust to your opponent’s left side. If your opponent attacks you in this manner, and you are then standing in middle pike position with your left foot forward, with both hands at chest level on your right side, then step forward with your right leg and parry with the middle of your pike, then step forward again and thrust a half pike thrust to his face, and he can do no more against you. If he attacks you thus, and you cannot parry with your front end, then change through and pull back the pike, that way you are again on equal terms with your opponent and may fight with him. Now, you step forward quickly and thrust from middle pike position wherever you see him open. Should he parry, then step forward with your left and thrust to his chest. If he thrusts at your openings in the same manner mentioned, then take two steps back in crossed changer, and take hold back end of the pike with your right hand, and from here you seek openings from the weak and the strong, and from one side to the other. Should he parry your thrusts, then wind in a long thrust to his face from your right hand, and withdraw from him protecting yourself as well as you can. | ||

+ | [8] '''A reversed thrust against a take off/parry''' | ||
+ | |||
+ | This manner is how you perform a reversed thrust: stand with your left leg forward, holding your left hand by your left knee, and the right on the back end of your pike between your legs, point directed towards your opponent. Then step forward with your right and pretend to thrust to his left side(german text says right), but instead you change grip and thrust a reversed thrust. If he does that to you however, while you are standing in a parry, then step forward with your left lower the tip to the ground raise the back end up in front of your face with straight arms, and remove his thrusts above and below, from one side the other. Having parried thus, then step forward with your right, raise your pike you your right, and turn in a thrust to your opponent’s throat. If he parries, then change through from your right to his left, and thrust to his face. If he sees it and parries, then step forward with your left foot and thrust to his left side. If he uses the same attack, and you are then standing with your right foot forward, then turn your right hand to your left and parry thus. Then enter the strong position, step forward with your right foot and thrust to his upper opening, and you may step back from your opponent well protected. | ||

+ | [9] '''An upper run-in against an upper set-on''' | ||
+ | |||
+ | When entering before your opponent to fence with pikes, then stand with your left foot forward, and grab hold of your pike in the middle, with the most part of the pike hanging behind you, arms well outstretched, left hand in front, and right hand behind your head. From here you take a step forward, and thrust to the opponent’s chest between both is arms. If he attacks you thus, and you are standing with your left foot facing him, then pull it back and parry between your arms. Then you step forward with your right foot and shoot the pike forward through your hands so that the front end comes into your left hand, and thrust to his face or chest. If he parries and comes after you, then change through twice, and step back, so that you hold the back end of your pike in your right hand. Furthermore, should your opponent use the same technique against you, then thrust a long thrust to his groin, and step forward with your right, and thrust to his chest. Should he parry while you are holding your pike extended befor you, then change through from his left to his right side, and turn in a thrust into his face. Should he parry this as sell, then step forward with your left and thrust to his left side as you move away from him well protected. | ||

+ | Perform this device as follows: when you engage with your opponent, then bind with his pike with your front end, and step forward with your left, and sense if he pushes firmly or loosely against your pike. If he is loose, then let your pike shoot back through your hands step forward with your right and thrust to his throat. If your opponent does this, and you are standing with your left foot forward, left hand by your left knee and right hand on the back end by your right leg, then step forward with said (right) leg and parry his thrust between your arms, then quickly pull back your right leg and turn your pike to the right, and as you do so pull your pike through the hands, this way you will again come on equal terms with your opponent. Then, change through from his left side to his right, and thrust to his face. If your opponent does this however, then parry with the front end to your right, pull back your right foot and shoot the point in from his right side into his face, and step away from him, well protected. | ||

+ | |||
+ | Perform the device in this manner: stand with your left leg forward, pike held above your head with the right hand on the back end, and the left in the middle, point directed toward the ground. If he then thrusts out of the strong, ie with the point directed to your face, sensing you pressing hard against his pike, and steps forward with his left leg, then parry to the right and left and, lift the front end of your pike, step forward with your right foot, turn your pike through and thrust to his face. If you see him do this to you, then step back with your left foot and, change grip with your right hand on the pike and turn it to your right side, you will parry the attack. Then, leave the bind and thrust to the right side of his face. If he does this, on the other hand, and you are standing with your right leg forward, then quickly turn your pike from his left side you his right and thrust to his groin, and from here you step away from him making sure you do so well away from harm. | ||

+ | It happens at the closing that you stand in this technique with your left foot forward and hold your Halberd above your head. Then immediately follow outward with your right foot and strike to his head. | ||

If he then also stands with his left foot toward you and holds his sword overhead in a high cut against you, and he wishes to cut in at your head, then quickly stab at his body. If he stabs at you like this, then step backwards with your left leg and cut with your sword to the left side of the shaft of his javelin with the Zwerch so that you take his thrust away with it. If he cuts opposing you like this and takes your thrust away from you, then follow in after with your right leg and thrust at him with the front end of your javelin toward the right side of his body. With this, step back from him. |

At that moment quickly cut toward his head. If he cuts from above at you like this and you also stand with left foot toward him, and you hold your sword on your right shoulder, the pommel in your left hand and pointed toward the man, then cut to his halberd with the long edge. Thus you take his cut away with it. At the same moment step in a triangle and cut to the left side of his head with the long edge. If he cuts from above at you like this, then step twice with a chasing and stab him twice from below and above as you step away from him with it. | ||

If he stabs high at you like that, and you stand with your right foot toward him and you hold your sword in the Change on your left side, the point toward the ground, then go up with your sword out of the Change and with that strike to his spear. Thus you take away his thrust on your right side. If he has cut at your spear like this, then pull your spear downwards. In that moment, go up again so that you have your spear well out front in the middle and stab him through the left side of his body. If he has stabbed you through your body, then cut strongly to him with your long edge toward his head, and this strike must be done quickly or else it is wasted. |

If he stabs you high like this, and you also stand with your left foot toward him, well in the balance, and you hold your sword with both hands on the haft on your left side, the point toward the man, then plant your long edge on his halberd and set him aside with it. In that moment, step in with your right leg and go up over your head with your sword with crossed arms and cut high to his head with your long edge. If he cuts high at you like this, then wind your halberd behind your head and back around and strike him with the blade of your halberd toward his head. |

At that moment, follow in with your right leg and let your sword quickly overrun and cut toward the left side of his head. If he cuts high at you like this, then take that away with your dussack on your left side. In that moment, leap to his right side with your left foot and cut to his right arm. If he cuts to your right arm like this, then hang well to your right side and parry his cut with your sword. In that moment, step in there with your left leg and cut to his forward leg. |

Then, if you have grabbed the right [hand] of the opponent with the left hand, you wound his head on the right side. But if the opponent comes at you in the same way from above, if you quickly grab his right [hand], you can in this way turn away his cuts. And from there, you can immediately, if you pull the right [hand], try to cut the left leg of the opponent standing in front. But if he tries the same, then push the right elbow of the opponent more inwards with your left hand, if you then pull back the right hand, you can hit his head with the point of the sickle and pull back again. | |

But if in the same way you place your right foot opposite him, and hold the sickle with the right hand in the manner of the high cut, and the left under the right arm, then you will displace his attempt to your left side with your sickle, and meanwhile, after you have with the left hand grabbed the right hand of the opponent, from the left side of your opponent cut his neck with the sickle. But if he comes at you in the same way from above, you will again grab his right hand with your left hand, and if he makes an attempt, displace this to your left side, and hit his left arm with the sickle, and from there again pull backwards. But if the opponent pulls back, you will with two steps press on to threaten the opponent and cut his head. | |

But if he comes at you in the same manner, [while you are] standing with the right foot in front, and if you hold the sickle against the opponent with the right hand and in the same manner hold the left hip with the left hand, you will displace his attempt to your right side. If from there you connect the sickle with his right arm, you will quickly pull him towards you. But if he wants to pull you towards him in the same way, if then with the left hand you grab his right, and to your right side displace the attempt of the opponent, hit his head immediately on the left side and from there pull back. But if the opponent likewise pulls back again, you will threaten him sharply by following him, and hitting the right hand of the opponent with the sickle. | |

− | + | In this manner, you can adapt to the opponent, when you stand up straight with both legs together, and with the right hand hold the sickle high, with a straight arm, next to the head, but place your left hand in the same way on the left hip, and if from there you step in with the right leg, you will hit the head of the opponent with the sickle. But if he takes the same position against you, [you] standing with the right leg in front, and with the sickle in the right hand next to the leg that stands in front, and the left hand in the same manner on the left hip, you will with a raised sickle displace his strike to your right side. If from there you follow with the left, you will hit the right leg of the opponent standing in front. But if it happens that he, from the low strike hits you in the same manner, you will with your left hand grab his right elbow from the outside, pull it towards you, and if you place the sickle on the right shoulder of he opponent, you will put him down by cutting. | |

− | + | To the aforementioned manner, you can adapt in this way: if you remember to place the right foot in front and to hold the sickle against the opponent with the right hand, if you connect the left [hand] with the left hip, you can then cut his right arm with the sickle. But if he approaches you in the same way, while you hold your right foot in front and against the enemy hold the sickle with the right, then place your left arm onto his right arm from the the front, and displace the cut of the opponent towards the left side: if you grab the aforementioned hand strongly, from there you will wound his right arm with the sickle. But if he uses this, then with the left hand grab the right of the opponent, make a pass inwards with the left foot, and if you lift his right above the<ref>German: his</ref> head, and immediately pull back your right again, you will hit his groin with the sickle. But if the opponent also uses this, bring the left hand up over his own right arm,<ref>German: grab with your left hand from below outside over his right arm</ref> and if you then in that manner pull him hard towards you, you can break the opponent’s arm, and from there cut his neck and pull back again from the opponent. | |

But if he in the same manner comes at you from above, [while you are] standing with the right [foot] in front, then hold the sickle against the opponent in the manner of the low cut, and block his right arm with the left hand, and after you have lifted this high, you will cut his right arm next to the armpit with the sickle. But if he attempts the same, after with the left hand you have grabbed the opponent’s right and have lifted this, you will displace his cut in this manner. But if you from there immediately retract the right, you will try to cut the right foot of the opponent [which is] placed in front. But if the opponent in the same manner uses this, then grab his right hand with your left, and in this manner displace his attempt, and if you then pull back the right hand immediately, you will wound the neck of the opponent with a cut, and pull back from him again. | |

And from there you can injure the knee of the opponent’s left leg, [which is] placed in front. But if the opponent in the same manner hinders you from below, you can hinder his right elbow from the inside with the opposed left hand, and if you then displace him strongly, you will displace his cut, and if you then quickly again pull the right hand towards yourself, and attack the right arm of the opponent by cutting, you will from there pull back from him again. | |

But if he in turn tries to hit your head, then grab his right hand with force with the left hand, and if you displace that to the left side, you will deflect the cut of the opponent.

+ | |||
+ | Do as follows when going towards him in this wrestling device: first of all, pay attention to whether he comes at you with his arms high or low. If he holds his arms high, then you do not need to worry about him, and use whatever techniques you want. If his arms are low, however, then keep the thumbs in your hands closed, your left hand on your left side, your right hand att your right side, and your left foot forward. Then enter the scales position, and you have your advantage over him. | ||

+ | |||
+ | When you are in the approach with your right foot standing forward, then step in toward the man with your left leg behind his right and cut toward his head with your long edge. At that moment, move your left hand from your grip to your sword blade. With that, wind the short edge on the left side of his neck. If you then stand with your right foot against him and he has confined<ref name="einengen">Choosing to read this as equivalent to modern German ''einengen''. “Trapped” as a translation for ''eineinden'' follows from this choice. Buyer beware.</ref> you like this, then plant the cross and shield of your sword under his left arm and briskly shove it upwards. Thus you take his trap<ref name="einengen"/> away. At that moment, grab the pommel of his sword with your inverted left hand and turn it well upwards. Thus you wind the sword out of his hands, and you may also be able to throw him. | ||

+ | |||
+ | When you are in the approach with your left foot standing forward, then follow in after with your right leg inside of his left. In the same instant, cut to the left side of his head with your long edge. If he moves to strike a cut from above at you like this, and you are standing with your left foot toward him, then cut to the left side of his head with your long edge to oppose him, thereby taking away his cut on your left side. At that moment, cut him from his right side upon his left so that your short edge on his sword blade comes close to his grip. Next, let your left hand go from your pommel and take hold of your blade with inverted hand and plant it on the left side of his neck. Wrench to your left side, and thus you may be able to throw him over your left leg. If he has planted upon your neck like this and wishes to throw you, then quickly let your right hand go from your grip and plant it on his left elbow. Now strongly shove away from you and kick him in the ankle with your right foot around his left. With this, pull towards you below and shove away from you above. Thus, you throw him backwards. | ||

+ | If you stand in the approach with your right foot toward the man, then step in after with your left leg and cut to the left side of his head. If he is coming in at you in the approach with his left leg toward you and has taken your cut away, then transfer your left hand from your pommel to the sword blade and place it on the left side of his neck. Wrench him with this on your right side. If he has set strongly upon you like this, then allow your sword to quickly fall away and set your right hand outside on his left elbow and shove it away from you. If he has taken away your planting, then let your right hand go from your handle and grab his left knee and lift it up high. If he has seized you in this way and intends to throw you, then grab his right hand with your left and push it down, thereby taking it away. In the same instant, hit him in the ankle with your left foot around his left. Pull that strongly toward you while you pull his right hand to you with your left and also push him strongly away from you above with your right hand, thus you throw him backwards. | ||

+ | |||
+ | When you go to the man upright in the wrestling with arms crossed in the scissors, then step in to him with your left leg and, out of the scissors, grab over and around his body with your left hand, and inside and around his left leg with your inverted right hand. Lift high upwards with your right while pushing away from you above toward your left side. Thus, you throw him over your left hip. If you have thrown him like this, then fall with your right leg between both of his by his crotch. With your left knee, kneel upon the muscle of his right arm, and grasp the muscle of his left arm with your right hand. Thus you are able to hold him down so that he cannot get away or free himself from you. As you do this, you may be able to stab him in the eyes or face with a dagger in your left hand. Or you may be able to throw dirt or sand in his face and deal with him as you wish. | ||

If you are then in the approach with your left leg coming in there toward him, and he is thrusting at your face like this, then go up in the Crown with your dussack, with your left hand forward by the point and with that take away his thrust to your right side. In that instant, release your left hand from your dussack out of the Crown and cut at him from your right side toward his face. If he cuts at your face like this, then go against his cut with the long edge and take it away on your left side. In the same moment, let the weak of your dussack fall away and step in with your right leg and cut toward his right arm. In that instant, pull back away from him. | ||

If he cuts at you from above like this, and you stand against him in a low cut, then step in with your right leg and quickly cut him outside and from below toward his right arm. If you have planted upon him from below like this, then pull your dussack down and cut above to his head with your long edge. If he cuts high to you like this, then move to oppose his cut with your dussack, taking it away on your right side.

If he goes to you like this with a thrust, and you are standing with your left leg toward him, then follow in after with your right leg and go to his dagger with your dagger’s cross, taking away his thrust on your left side. If he has taken away your thrust like this, then reach your left hand under and through your right arm and catch his dagger by the point. Pull strongly downwards so that he must give the dagger to you. If he has stripped your dagger like this and wishes to skewer you, then fall upon the inside of his right arm with your left hand and push that down hard so that you take away his thrust. In the same instant fall to his throat with your right hand. If he wants to pounce upon you like this, then grab him under his right elbow with your left hand and lift upwards so that you take away his strike.

+ | |||
+ | It happens like this in this technique: hold your Rappier in your right hand in front of your forward leg in a low thrust position directed towards his groin. He then stands with his left foot opposite you and thrusts towards your face at the upper opening.<ref name="illustration"/> Then drive up with your Rappier out of the low thrust position, fall over his Rappier and with that take away his thrust to your left side with your short edge. Then immediately step with your left leg in the triangle on your right side and strike to his forward leg. | ||
+ | |||
+ | If he strikes low towards you like this, then yank your left leg back and take it away with the long edge so that you avoid injury from him and can work against him once more. | ||

+ | [20] '''A Throw in the Sword''' | ||
+ | |||
+ | It happens like this in this technique: spring in with both feet and thrust to his face or chest. If he parries this with his Buckler, then set your left leg to the rear and strike to his left arm. Then immediately spring in with your left foot and thrust to his right side. If he sets this aside with his Buckler, then strike inward from below to his left arm. Then immediately follow outward with your right leg and wind the thrust to his face or chest. | ||
+ | |||
+ | If he fires the thrust and strike at you like this, then parry him with your Buckler and immediately spring in with your right foot and thrust him powerfully under your left arm to his right side. Should he perceive this thrust, strike his Sword away with an ''Oberhaw'', immediately let your Sword fall, step with your left leg between both of his legs, and grab with your right hand over and around his left shoulder and with your left under his right shoulder and also around his body.<ref name="illustration"/> Thus you have him in the Wag and can throw him wherever you want. | ||

If your opponent parries thus, then strike a double cross-strike to his belly and thrust him in the chest with a hanging point. Then move away from him with double strikes. | ||

+ | |||
+ | Step forward with your left foot and strike from above with your sword and make sure to wound your opponent's neck. If he does this, then parry with the buckler you are holding in your left hand and strike him in the head with your sword. If your opponent should strike toward your head on the other hand, then parry with your buckler and strike him in the leg. If he does the same, then pull back the sword from his buckler and strike a lower thwart strike inward, so that you bind with his sword and parry thus on your right side. Then you thrust him in the belly or groin. If he tries to do this to you, then parry with the short edge and move away from him with cross strikes and double thrusts. | ||

+ | [51] '''Strike to a buckler parry''' | ||
+ | |||
+ | Step forward with your right foot and hold your sword by your right breast with the point toward the opponent and your buckler in front of your face, and when your opponent steps forward with the left foot and strikes from above to your head as he takes a step forward with his right foot, you move your buckler forward and parry it to your left, as you step forward with your left foot and thrust him in the belly or groin. If your opponent does this, then push the thrust down to your right with your buckler as you step back with your right foot and do cross strikes and double thrusts. | ||

+ | |||
+ | Step forward with your left foot and hold your sword in your right hand and your buckler in your left. Then step forward with your left foot and try to thrust your opponent in his right armpit. If he tries to do thus to you, as you are standing with your left foot forward, holding your sword in your right hand, then tip your point down slightly toward your opponent, and hold your buckler in your left hand over your chest as you step forward with your right foot and put it on the outside of your opponent's right and thus you parry his thrust with a hangning point from below to your right. Immediately then pull your opponent's hand with the hilt and cross of your sword just behind his own pommel, while you with the long edge lying on your opponent's neck, pull back your pommel and hilt as hard as you can, and you will slice his neck. But if he tries to do this, then put your left foot on his right side and raise your buckler to his left side, turn your sword so that your cross is on the outside of your opponent's arm and strike it back, thus you will evade his attack. | ||

+ | [53] '''How to take the opponent's buckler''' | ||
+ | |||
+ | Stand with your right foot forward and step forward left and thrust to his chest, and then cut to his head. If he does this to you, while you are standing with your right foot forward, then grip your sword with your left hand in the middle of the blade together with your buckler, step forward and parry his attack on the buckler. Then you raise your buckler and sword to parry and step forward with your left foot as fast as you can, and grab hold on the inside of the opponent's buckler with your right hand and twist it out of his hand. Then you throw it into his face, steb back and take your sword in your right hand and thrust him in the face or chest. If he does the same to you on the other hand, then raise up your left arm to protect your face and do a cross cut from below to counter his thrust. And if you instead of the above mentioned thrust from above out of a cross cut from above you will also counter his buckler throw and his thrust. | ||

+ | [54] '''The second way of taking the opponent's buckler along with a throw''' | ||
+ | |||
+ | When you step together and both thrust at each other and both parry with the buckler, then step forward with your left foot and hold your buckler in your left hand extended toward your opponent as you thrust to his face or chest. If your opponent thrusts at you in the same manner, then grab hold of the middle of the blade with your left hand and the buckler in front of, so that the tip of the sword is pointing up, and step forward with your left foot against his thrust. If your opponent then wants to cut at you, then step in and parry with the buckler and the sword and then swiftly grab hold of the inside if his buckler and twist it out of his hand. Then step back with the other foot and throw the buckler in his face. Then grab hold of your own sword with your right hand and then step in with your right foot and thrust hin in the face or chest. If your opponent does the same to you, and you have stepped back holding up your left arm to protect your face, you will parry his attack. If he then continues to thrust to your face or chest, then step back and cut cross cuts and double thrusts at him, and you will parry all his attacks. | ||

+ | Step forward with your left foot, holding your sword with the point directed at the opponent on your right side and your buckler in front of your left breast. Then step forward with your right foot and thrust to your opponent's face or chest. If your opponent attacks you in this manner, and you are standing with your right foot forward, then parry his thrust on your buckler, and step forward with your left foot on the inside of his right and cut him in the head. If your opponent tries to cut you in this manner, then hold your buckler in front of your face to parry and cut him swiftly in his face. Should he do this, then remove his cut and step close to him. Lift your buckler and move your left arm over the outside of his right arm and around, så that his right hand that he is holding his sword with ends up behind your armpit. Fasten the buckler you are holding in your left hand firmly under his right arm and put your left leg on the outside of the back of his right knee, turn you your left, and you will throw him backwards. If this were to happen to you, in that case, make sure to parry his cuts and thrusts with your buckler. | ||

+ | [56] '''A throw with the sword''' | ||
+ | |||
+ | Put your right foot forward and thrust from above with the sword in your right hand and hold your buckler with the left arm outstretched by the sword pointing at your opponent. Then step forward with your left foot and thrust from below a half thrust to your opponent's belly or chest. If your opponent comes att you in this manner, then step forward with your right foot and parry the thrust with your buckler. Should he parry your thrust thus, then without hesitation, cut a thwart cut to his head. If your opponent does this, then put together both hands holding the sword and the buckler and parry the strike this way. Then you step in quickly and move your left arm over his right behind his sword and hold firmly, as you thrust him in the chest. However, if your opponent has taken hold of you in said manner and tries to thrust you in the chest, then parry with the buckler. Should your opponent parry with the buckler then, step with your left foot as fast as you can behind the back of his right knee as you take a firm hold of your opponent's right armpit with the left arm. If you then push away from you and upward, your opponent will fall backwards and lose his sword. If this were to happen to you, then kick him in the groin with the other foot and parry with your buckler his cuts and thrusts or whatever he were to do to you. | ||

+ | [1] '''A parry against a death strike with the poleaxe''' | ||
+ | |||
+ | Step forward with your right foot towards your opponent and hold your poleaxe over your hed with both hands and the point directed at the opponent. If he is standing with his left foot forward and is about to strike you with a death strike, then parry his attack to your left. Then you pull back your ase and thrust him in the groin. If your opponent does this on the other hand, you parry with the back end, and step forward with your right foot and strike him in the head with the axe blade. If he parries with the shaft between his hands you turn in the back end between his arms into his face. If he does this, then step back with your right foot and parry with the shaft between your arms. If he parries, you strike again to his upper opening. If your opponent strikes at you in the same manner, you parry with the shaft. Then, if you pull you your right you will thrust him win the face with the point. Then you change through with the axe and step back. | ||

+ | [2] '''A death strike against a thrust to the chest''' | ||
+ | |||
+ | This device is executed thus. Stand with both legs straight and hold the shaft of your axe with both hands and the left hand raised behind your head. Then you step forward with your right foot and strike your opponent in the head with the blade of the axe. If your opponent comes at you like this, and you are standing with your left foot forward, holding the axe with your right hand at head hight and the left hand on the lower end pointing to the opponent, then parry with the shaft to your right. Then you thrust him in the chest with the front point. If he would do the same, then parry his thrust on the shaft between your hands to your left, and thrust him with the front point over his left hand and into his chest, and pull towards you hard. When you have done this, you may change through and move back. | ||

+ | |||
+ | In this device you do thus: step forward with your right foot and hold your poleaxe in good defence turned toward the opponent. Then you step forward with your left foot and strike a death strike to his head with the axe. If your opponent comes at you in the same manner, and you are holding the poleaxe in both hands then grab the upper end of the shaft with your right and the lower with the left, step forward with your right foot and remove his strike to the left with the shaft. Then you step forward with your left foot and direct the back end over both arms, switch grips, and pull your opponent's right hand toward you (above) with the axe blade, and below, with his left hand with your left arm. If your opponent were to do this, then let go with your right hand, grab his left shoulder and push him away from you. Should he do this on the other hand, then you step back with your left foot and direct a thrust with the front point into his chest, and step back from him in good defense. | ||

If your opponent comes at you in the same manner, and you are holding the poleaxe in both hands then grab the upper end of the shaft with your right and the lower with the left, step forward with your right foot and remove his strike to the left with the shaft. Then you step forward with your left foot and direct the back end over both arms, switch grips, and pull your opponent's right hand toward you (above) with the axe blade, and below, with his left hand with your left arm. If your opponent were to do this, then let go with your right hand, grab his left shoulder and push him away from you. Should he do this on the other hand, then you step back with your left foot and direct a thrust with the front point into his chest, and step back from him in good defense. | ||

+ | |||
+ | this device is performed thus: stand with the left foot forward and hold the axe raised over in front of your face with the right hand on the middle of the shaft and the left on the back end. Then, step forward with the right foot and thrust your opponent in the groin. If he does this to you, and you are standing with your right foot forward, holding your axe before your face with both hands, right hand on the back end and the left by the blade, then parry to your left with the back end and strike hom in the head with the blade. If he parries on the shaft between his hands, you thrust the back end into his face between his both arms. Should he parry this as well, you step back with your left foot and strike him in the right arm with the blade. Then you step away from him while turning the axe around. | ||

+ | |||
+ | If you want to be the victor in this device, do as follows: stand with your right foot forward and raise the axe up in front of your face on your left side, and holding the right hand on the back end and the left on the middle of the blade. Then you step forward with your left foot and strike him in the head with the blade. Should he parry between his hands on the shaft, then move down your front end as well as the blade into the back of his right knee, and pull toward you. If he should do this, however, then put your axe blade around his neck, and pull toward you, that way he cannot hurt you. If your opponent pulls you toward him in the same manner, then take a triangle step and parry his strike between both hands on your shaft, and push up, that way you will weaken him above. Then, let go of the axe with your left hand and grab hold of his right leg and lift it up, and you will throw him backwards. | ||

+ | |||
+ | When you enter before your opponent, then stand straight with your feet together holding your axe raised up with both hands before your face. Step forward with your left foot and strike him in the head with the blade of your axe. If he were to do this to you, then strike against his strike and parry this way. Then you move in the lower end over his right arm and press your opponent's axe and yours together with your right hand. Then, turn to your right and you will pull his axe rather painfully out of his hands. If he breaks in in the same way and wants to take your axe from you, then leg him do so, and grab hold on the outside of his right armpit with your left hand, and push him away forcefully as you grab hold of the axe with the right hand again and step back. Then strike a death strike to his head with the blade. | ||

+ | |||
+ | Excute this device as follows: step forward with your right foot and hold the axe with both hands on the shaft and strike a death strike to his head with the blade. If he comes at you like this, and you are standing with your left foot forward, then turn the front end in between his arms and put the axe on the right side of his neck, and thus you may parry his strike with the back end. Then you pull the opponent toward you with the axe blade. If your opponent does this, on the other hand, then switch hands from below with the right hand on the outside of the axe and this way you press the opponent's axe down and cut him in the left side of his neck with the axe blade. If he uses the same technique, then parry his strike you your right and thrust him in the face with the front end, and move away from him. | ||

If your opponent does this, then remove his thrust with the front end to your right, and thrust him over his left arm into his face. If he does this, then parry with the axe blade, step forward with the right foot and thrust him in the chest with the front end between his arms, and move away from him while turning the axe around. | ||

+ | |||
+ | <p>In this device you step forward with your left foot and hold your spear and the shield together in your left hand and the sword in the right, and from there you thrust at your opponent's throat with the spearpoint. If he does this, on the other hand, and you, just as him, are standing with your left foot forward, with the shield and sword in your left hand and the spear in your right, you parry his thrust with the pommel of your sword, and then you thrust at his face with your spear. If he attacks you with a thrust in the same manner, you raise the shield and parry thus. But if he parries with his shield, you direct your thrust into his visor. Furthermore, should he do the same thing, you parry his attack to your right with your shield, drop your spear, step forward with your right foot, grab the sword with your right hand, and strike him in his right elbow and step away from him.</p> | ||

Then you move your left foot inside of your opponent's left, and pull towards you below as you push away from you above, and thus you throw him over.</p> | ||

+ | |||
+ | <p>In this device you step forward with your left foot and hold your spear and the shield together in your left hand and the sword in the right, and from there you thrust at your opponent's throat with the spearpoint. If he does this, on the other hand, and you, just as him, are standing with your left foot forward, with the shield and sword in your left hand and the spear in your right, you parry his thrust with the pommel of your sword, and then you thrust at his face with your spear. If he attacks you with a thrust in the same manner, you raise the shield and parry thus. But if he parries with his shield, you direct your thrust into his visor. Furthermore, should he do the same thing, you parry his attack to your right with your shield, drop your spear, step forward with your right foot, grab the sword with your right hand, and strike him in his right elbow and step away from him.</p> | ||

Then, step forward with your left foot and thrust your opponent in the armpit with the spear. If he should thrust at you in the same manner, then step back with the left foot and parry with the shield, step forward again with your left foot and thrust him in the visor with the point of your spear. If he parries with the back end of his spear, then you change through with your spear from his and thrust him with your spearpoint in the groin.</p> | ||

Should he parry with his sword then you step forward with your right foot, and grab your swordhilt with your right hand and thrust at his throat. If he turns in a thrust in the same manner, then grab hold of the pommel with your right hand, raise the sword and parry on the hilt between your both hands, move the left hand to your right on the middle of the blad and strike pommel and cross into his left leg, and then move away from him.</p> | ||

If he thrusts at you in the same way, and you have thrown away your shield as well, then step back with your left foot and remove his thrust with the front end of your spear. Then you step forward again with your left foot and aim a thrust at his visor. If he attacks you in the same manner, then parry with your spear, drop it, step back with your left foot and draw your sword, grab it with both hands and step forward with your left foot and thrust him in the neck with the tip. If he parries this as well, then grab hold with both hands on the middle of the blade and strike him in the head with cross and pommel, and then you step away from him.</p> | ||

+ | | <p>[1] '''A fight where the foot soldier has a pike and the rider a lance.'''</p> | ||
+ | |||
+ | <p>If it were to happen that a mounted opponent rides toward you in order to harm you, then put the back end of the pike in the ground and point the front end toward the opponent. Above all, make sure to be able to use the pike on both sides, so that if your mounted opponent comes at you wielding a lance you can defend yourself against him on both sides. When he engages you, you strike away his lance from your right to your left side. If he continues forward you direct you pike into his face, and he will throw himself off the saddle. Then you can draw your rapier and do whatever you wish to him.</p> | ||

+ | | <p>[2] '''How a rider is to evade the pike of a foot-soldier.'''</p> | ||
+ | |||
+ | <p>This is what you do against the rider: Step forward with your left foot and hold the pike with both hands on your right side, with the point toward the opponent, and from here you continue forward with your right foot and turn the point into his face. If you, being the rider, see the opponent doing this to you, then fasten the reins in the hook by the belt, and remove the lance from the arret and hold it across(before you) with both hands, and remove the opponent's thrust thus between both your hands to your left, and then you insert the lance again into the arret, i.e. the lance rest, a hook being there to prevent the lance from going backwards under your arm, and then you engage your opponent at full speed and run him down.</p> | ||

+ | |||
+ | <p>This is how you use the pike in this device: If you see the rider coming at you, and you are on foot, then stand with your left foot forward and hold the pike with the left hand by the chest in free position, and with the right hand on the back end, point toward the opponent. If he then attacks you with his lance, then turn the pike from your left side to his right so that you remove his lance. Then you take a step forward with the right foot and thrust forcefully with the pike into his face. Then, make sure that the back end of the pike is in the ground for good defence, so that the rider cannot hurt you in any way.</p> | ||

+ | |||
+ | <p>This is how you defend yourself with your pike against an attacking rider: Step forward with your left foot and hold your pike with the point aimed toward the opponent for a thrust. If your opponent on foot does this towards you, you spur your horse toward him and touch his lance by the front part, and remove his thrust to your right, and simultaneously as you parry, you turn the horse toward the opponent, and put his pike into your right armpit, drop the lance out of the lance rest, spur the horse toward the opponent, draw your sword and run him through with it.</p> | ||

+ | |||
+ | <p>If you wish to obtain the victory in this device, you must do as follows: If a rider rides at you with his lance, you step forward with your left foot and hold the halberd with the axe head toward him, and if he attacks with his lance, you hook the lance with your halberd and raise it, and you have averted his thrust. Then you thrust with the point into his face as hard as you can. If a footman does this to you, being the rider, and you cannot use your lance, you throw it out of your lance rest and turn the horse to the left, draw your sword and strike at his halberd, and you have parried his attack thus. Then you spur your horse toward him and run him through with the sword.</p> | ||

+ | | <p>[6] '''Another device as the previous.'''</p> | ||
+ | |||
+ | <p>This is how you use the halberd in this device against a horseman with a lance: If the rider comes at you with his lance, then step with your left foot forward toward the opponent's right side and strike at the front end of his lance with your halberd from your left side to his right, and you have averted his attack. If you then press down his lance, you will force the rider to fall to the ground struck backwards, and he cannot harm you anymore. If you do this, make sure to press down the lance swiftly with the halberd, so that he strikes himself off the saddle. Then you may fight against him however you want.</p> | ||

+ | |||
+ | <p>In this device you do as follows: Hold your lance over your right leg and ride towards your opponent, and put the lance in the arret. If you are on foot and standing with your left leg forward, holding your halberd for a strike from above while waiting for your opponent, and when he then gets close, you direct a strike from your left side to his right against his lance and press it down hard, and if you then step with your right foot in triangle the rider will break his lance. If he tries to draw his sword you run toward him with two steps and place the halberd head around his neck and pull to you, and you will throw him off the horse.</p> | ||

+ | |||
+ | <p>When riding toward your opponent, do as follows: Hold the spear extended over your right leg in your right hand, and when you are about to attack, you insert the spear in the arret, and ride toward him thus. If your opponent comes at you in said manner, then step forward with your left foot and hold your halberd in a strike from above, and strike his spear away from left to your right side, and you have averted his attack. Then you take two steps toward him and hook him in the left side of his neck with the head of the halberd and pull forcefully to you, and you will throw the rider off his horse.</p> | ||

+ | |||
+ | <p>Do thus: Raise the spear over your right leg with your right hand and as you spur your horse toward your opponent you insert the spear into the arret, and aim for his visor(!). If the rider comes at you in this manner, and you have neither pike nor halberd to protect yourself with, only the sword, then draw it and hold it up in front of your face, and move his sword upward with the cross in this manner, than you have defended yourself against his thrust. Then you raise the sword over your head, step in triangle and cut the horse's sinews so that it falls to the ground and you may do whatever you wish with the opponent.</p> | ||

If the rider comes at you in this manner, then step forward with your left foot and draw your rapier, and hold up the buckler in front of your face with your left hand and remove his strike thus.

+ | |||
+ | <p>If you are mounted and you see your opponent footman using rapier, then draw your sword as well, and ride toward him and strike toward his head. If your opponent does this very thing, you lift up your rapier and remove his strike to the left with the long edge. Then you step forward as fast a you can with to his right side, and grab hold with your left hand in his right hand and push him away in this manner, and thus he will not be able to fight against you. Then you pierce his neck with your rapier as hard as you can, and in this manner the horseman will fall.</p> | ||

Then make sure to get close to the opponent, and grab hold below in his right leg, and raise it up to his left side.

But if your opponent has locked you in the same way, you let go of the hilt with your right hand and grab hold firmly in the inside of his arm and ride past him, and you will get free.</p> | ||

+ | <p>In this device you do as follows: Draw your sword and charge, holding your sword with your right hand over your right thigh, and put the blade between both ears of your sword, i.e. on the mane, and with the point aimed toward the opponent. If your opponent comes at you with the sword drawn in the same manner, then you draw your sword as well, and hold it with your right hand on your left side in side guard over your left hand. When you ride toward him in said guard and he then aims a thrust toward your visor out of aforementioned tassel guard, then remove it to your right and when you ride past him you cut him in the back of the head.</p> | ||

If your opponent attacks you in the same way, by thrusting towards your visor, then raise the sword and bind with his, and lift it up. That way you have parried his attack, and at the same time you may cut or thrust him in the neck of visor. Of your opponent attacks you with cuts or thrusts in the same manner, you parry while riding past him. Then you turn your horse around and strike or thrust him in the back of his neck.

If your opponent does this on the other hand, then ride toward him as well, but do not draw your sword, but instead grab hold of the mouthpiece on the opponent's horse as you may see on the picture and lift up on your right side. If the horse is about to rear forcefully, then quickly ride close to him and lift up the mouthpiece, and both the horse and the opponent will fall over at the same time. But if the horse is not as incline to rear up on its hind legs, then do not use this technique, as it is much too risky.

+ | |||
+ | <p>In this following clash, you do thus: When you both ride toward each other you quickly put your reins in the lower armour hook you have on your waist, and grab hold with both hands in the chest of your opponent. If he does this, and is about to lift you off the saddle, then put the reins into the lower armour hook, and make sure to loosen your feet from the stirrups and press yourself hard against him. Then you leave your own horse and jump over to his, and sit down behind him, holding him around his arms with both your hands, and then you grab hold of his reins and pull to you, and then you may ride away wherever you want with the opponent held captive.</p> | ||

Then you reach with your left arm from behind around the opponent's neck and grab hold firmly in front in his neck, spur the horse and kick his right foot with your left by the stirrup. If you continue forward past the opponent you will throw him forward over on your horse or pull him forward off the saddle. But if you see that your opponent tries to grab hold of you in the same manner, then you lift up the right arm, and strike him as hard as you can in the inside of his elbow. If you then press down hard in this way, and continue forward beside your opponent you will get free of him.</p> | ||

If you notice he does the same, you wrap your right arm around his and press it hard to your chest. If your opponent tries to do this, however, you lower your hand and press down his left hand holding the reins, and quickly. Then you pull him over to your right side. Furthermore, should your opponent try to throw you in the same manner, when he rides past you, you grab hold firmly with your right hand that you have wrapped over your opponent's arm onto the saddle wing, just by the upper part of the saddle, and with the left hand in the saddle bow, i.e. front part of the saddle and press down forcefully with your elbow on the inside of the opponent's elbow as you ride past him, and he is forced to let go or be thrown over, and his attack is for nothing.</p> | ||

+ | | <p>[72] '''Defence on foot against the attack of a mounted opponent.'''</p> | ||
+ | |||
+ | <p>When you both have clashed together, and you have lost your lance, you turn your horse quickly and run back to it, and as soon as you dismount you hold the reins with your left hand so that you are holding your horse turned toward your opponent. This way the opponent cannot hurt you, and both him and his horse will wear out. Furthermore, you can keep yourself safe from the opponent as long as you wish and at the same time retrieve your lance. When you have gotten it back, you hold it with both hands, with the left above and the right below by the handle, and press the back end of the lance into the ground. Then you let your horse go. When your opponent then comes at you at full speed, and has only inserted his lance into the lance rest on its middle, you raise the point of your lance firmly at his face and remove his lance in the inside to your left and down on his right side. Then you raise your right arm and lower your left and press down the lance in the ground in front of the horse and if you then at the same time step to the left of your opponent, he will fall to the ground and lose his lance. Then you may fight with him however you please.</p> | ||

+ | |||
+ | <p>If your mounted opponent has drawn his sword and charges at you, and you are on the ground, then hold your lance with right hand on the handle and the left on the front end, right foot forward. When the opponent comes charging at you at full speed, then grab hold of the lance for a thrust with the front end with both hands, and thrust the lance point between the opponent's horse's front legs and raise the back end of the lance as high as you can with both hands, and you will fell both horse and rider. Then you may use whatever techniques you want against him.</p> | ||

+ | | <p>[1] '''Instruction on how both combatants shall engage each other'''</p> | ||
+ | |||
+ | <p>Thus the two armoured fighters enter the arena or enclosure to fight. Both combatants are for the most part armed with a spear, a sword, and a dagger, and they fight the whole time on life and death, until one is so exhausted he can no longer fend for his life. If one of them is so weak that he is no longer able to fight, he must give up all his property to the victor, and the victor can either accept, or take the life of his opponent. When engaging into battle, they call to the Lord. If you are standing with your left foot forward, holding your spear in your left hand held straight out with the point upward and the back end on the ground, your sword by your left side and your right hand on the hilt, and if your opponent then is standing in armour before you in the same manner, and you are then standing with your left foot forward, holding your spear in the middle with your right hand, you raise your arm above your head so that the point is directed toward your opponent and your sword rests on your left shoulder with your left hand on the hilt, then make sure to throw or twist the spear into his face or left armpit. Of your opponent comes at you thus, then hold your spear upright in front of you, and in this manner you will parry his attack to your left, and if you at the same time move to the side, you have defended yourself from your opponent's thrust.</p> | ||

+ | | <p>[2] '''Another technique with the spear'''</p> | ||
+ | |||
+ | <p>Put your left foot forward and hold your spear in the middle of the shaft with your left hand and the arm stretched out over your head, your sword in your right hand over your chest with the tip pointing upward, and thrust the spear into the opponent's chest. If he does this to you, and you are standing with your left foot forward holding your spear before you in the middle of the shaft with both hands, then raise the spear and remove his thrust to your right. Then step forward with your right foot arms raised and thrust to his face. If he tries to do this to you, you parry his thrust to your left with the left arm. Grab hold of his spear with the left hand thrust him with the sword into his face or armpit. This will cause your opponent to let go of his spear.</p> | ||

+ | | <p>[3] '''One more technique as the previous'''</p> | ||
+ | |||
+ | <p>Step forward with your left foot and hold your spear in the left hand and the sword drawn, and thrust with the spear at your opponent's face or chest. If your opponent attacks you in the same manner, and you are standing with your left foot forward, you remove his thrust with the spear from right to left. When you have parried this way, you let go of the spear and grab hold with the left hand in the middle of the sword and try to thrust him into the chest or armpit. If your opponent on the other hand attacks you thus, then step forward with your right foot and place it by his left and remove his thrust with the spear from right to left, and thus you have parried his thrust.</p> | ||

+ | | <p>[4] '''Another technique with the spear'''</p> | ||
+ | |||
+ | <p>Step forward with your left foot and hold the spear with the right hand in the middle with the point straight upward, and your sword in the left hand by your left hip. If your opponent is then standing in armour before you, with right leg forward, sword and spear held together with both hands over his forward leg, and his left hand on the hilt by the hip, then you hold the spear in the middle with your right hand, raise it over your head and thrust the tip into the visor of your opponent. If he attacks you thus, then you step forward with the left foot and raise sword and spear from left to right and remove his thrust to your right side. Then you let go of the spear and thrust him into the visor with the sword. If your opponent thrusts at your visor in the same manner, you step back with your left leg and grab the hilt with your right hand and your left on the middle of the blade, step forward again with the left foot, raise the sword and turn away his point with your forward point you your right, and thrust twice to his head.</p> | ||

+ | | <p>[5] '''First upper and lower guard'''</p> | ||
+ | |||
+ | <p>Do the lower guard as follows: stand with your left foot forward and hold the sword with left hand on the middle of the blade and the right hand on the hilt over your right leg. Then raise the sword to a winding, and direct a thrust to your opponent's right hand. If he does this, then you direct your tip on the inside over the right arm. Should your opponent do this, and you are standing in the upper guard and with the left foot forward, you move your hilt from below and turn it in over your opponent's left arm, grab hold with your right hand above in his hilt and move both swords together. If he holds your sword in the same manner, then let go of the hilt with your right hand and grab hold of the tip of your sword, step back with the left foot and away from the opponent.</p> | ||

+ | | <p>[6] '''The two side guards on right and left side'''</p> | ||
+ | |||
+ | <p>Do this device as follows: step forward with the left foot and hold your sword in front over your left leg with the point towards the opponent. Then, step forward with the right foot, raise the sword and direct the pommel towards your opponent's face. If you are then standing with your right foot forward, and see your opponent moving his pommel towards you, you press down with the middle of the sword and turn in your pommel with the right hand from underneath on the inside of his right arm. Then you step with the left foot behind his right and lay the sword against his neck. If he should do the same to you, then raise the pommel with the right hand over your head and step back with the right foot, and you will turn away from him in the previous guard.</p> | ||

+ | | <p>[7] '''Third guard on both sides'''</p> | ||
+ | |||
+ | <p>In this guard you do as follows: stand with your left foot forward and hold your sword to your right with the point downward. Then step forward with your right foot and raise the pommel towards your opponent's face. Then, you move the sword in with the left hand between both his arms and lay the long edge against the opponent's neck. If he does this to you, and you are standing with your right foot forward, you turn your sword up outside his left elbow and put the pommel against his neck. Should the opponent do this, however, and tries to throw you over, you raise the sword forcefully and direct it over both his arms with the short edge, and enter into said guard.</p> | ||

+ | |||
+ | <p>In this battle you do as follows: stand with your left foot forward and hold the sword with left and above your left knee and the tip pointing toward the ground. If he then stands before you with right foot forward and tries to thrust into your forward left foot, then step forward with the right foot and remove his attack by the cross of the sword and turn in the pommel into his face. If he tries to do the same to you, then pull him to the right with the cross on his right hand, and you will take his strength away. Then you strike with the pommel into his face. If he were about to do the same to you then parry the strike between both arms in the middle of the sword and thrust your point into his right side. Should he parry this with his forward point, then step back and hit your pommel into his head and back away from him.</p> | ||

+ | | <p>[9] '''Winding in the sword from both right sides'''</p> | ||
+ | |||
+ | <p>When you engage your opponent and draw near him in battle, put your left foot forward and hold the sword so that the pommel lies against your left leg and the left hand is held on the middle of the blade, and direct the point into your opponent's face. If you stand with left foot forward, holding the sword with the pommel against your chest on your right side you aim with the point towards the opponent, grab hold with the left hand in the middle of the blade and remove his sword to your right. Then you step forward with your right foot and turn the pommel into his face. If he tries to do this to you, then parry between both your hands, step back with the left foot and thrust him in the neck with the point and strike him in the right leg with the cross and the pommel, and back away from him.</p> | ||

+ | |||
+ | <p>In this device you do as follows: step forward with your right foot towards your opponent, and hold the sword with the point directed to the ground, and from there you thrust him in the front of his left foot past his right leg. If you are standing with your right foot forward and he thrusts at your left foot, then move your right arm over his right arm, and remove his thrust in the middle the sword you your right, and then you raise the sword and put the pommel behind his neck and pull to you. If he uses the same technique, you put your cross against his right arm from underneath. Then you change grip on the sword, that is you put your left hand where you hold with your right hand and take hold of the middle of the blad with the right hand. Then you step forward with the left foot and push your opponent away from you thus. If you are thrust back like this, you step back with the right foot and thrust him in the right elbow with your point.</p> | ||

+ | |||
+ | <p>In this device you do as follows: step forward with your left foot and hold your sword outstretched before you with the left hand on the pommel, and thrust the opponent in his forward right foot. If the opponent does this to you, you grab hold of the tip of the sword with your right hand and hit him in the head as hard as you can with the pommel. If he attacks you in the same manner, then you step forward with the right foot, raise the sword, grab hold with in the middle of the blade with your left hand and parry between both your hands. Then you turn the cross to your right and strike him swiftly with the pommel in his face.

If your opponent tries to do the same to you, and you are standing with your left foot forward, you parry with the point of your sword and turn the pommel into the opponent's left elbow, and press him down on your left side. If he does this, on the other hand, you let go of the sword, take his dagger, and pull him towards you. Then if you take his dagger that you have twisted out of the opponent's hands (sic), put it around his neck, put your left hand under your arm, grab hold of the tip of the dagger and pull towards you, you will throw the opponent on his back with his own dagger.</p> | ||

If he tries to do the same, and you are standing with your right foot forward, also with the left hand on the middle of the middle of the blade and the pommel facing the opponent, then you put the pommel over his right arm, lift the sword up and counter his thrust thus. Then you insert pommel in between his both arms and punch it hard into his chest or neck. If he does the same thing, you raise your pommel and turn it over the right arm, and set on the point of your sword in front by his right arm, and push up. That way you have averted his attack. Then, let go of the hilt with the right hand and join it to support your left, step back with the left foot and strike him in the head with the pommel. </p> | ||

+ | <p>If you want to perform this device, then do as follows: stand with left foot forward and hold the sword out raised before your face, grab hold with the left hand in the hilt and the right hand in the point. Then you move the pommel in under your opponent's arm and punch it into his right side. After that, you move your sword behind your back with the right hand on the shoulder, and raise up your left hand, and you have executed this technique correctly. If your opponent does this, however, and is about to step into your right side, you place the right foot on the outside behind his left, grab hold with the left hand on the hilt and the right hand in the middle of the blade, and if you then turn in the sword over his left arm and the middle of his sword, you will reach his throat, and if you then press down with the left hand and pull the right hand above to your right, you will force the opponent to fall backwards. </p> | ||

If he tries to do the same to you, while you are standing with your left foot forward, holding the sword outstretched against the opponent with the right hand on the hilt and the left on the middle of the blade, then parry between your hands on the blade. If he parries in this manner you kick his left knee with your right foot. If he tries to do the same to you, then turn your sword blade in under his knee and lift, that way you will force him to let go of his sword as he falls backwards. </p> | ||

If he tries to do this to you, as you are standing with your right leg forward, holding the sword with your right hand on the hilt, and the left on the middle of the blade, point toward the opponent, then parry his thrust with the forward end or the sword to your right, and step forward with your left foot and punch the pommel into his visor. If he tries to do the same, then parry his strike on the sword between your hands to your left, then let go of the sword with your left hand, grab hold of his left shoulder and push it from you, that way he will turn around. Then quickly, drop the sword, and grab around his left leg with both hands, and if you pull to you below, as you push above, you will throw forward on his face, and at the same time he should also have to throw away his sword. Then make sure that you pin his body down with both knees, draw your dagger with your right hand and stab it through his neck. </p> | ||

+ | | <p>[81] '''Another throwing technique'''</p> | ||
+ | |||
+ | <p>If you wish to be victorious in this fight then you must do as follows: step forward with your left foot and hold the sword with the right hand on the hilt over your right thigh, left hand on the middle of the blade, point toward the enemy. And from this position you step forward with your right leg and turn in a thrust with the point at his visor. If you are standing with your left foot forward, holding your sword point straight at your opponent, then parry his thrust between your hands to your left, place your right foot before his left, drop your sword, and put your right hand in his left armout, and grab hold with your left hand on the inside of his right elbow, as well as you hook your opponent's right leg with your right, and pull to you, as well as push away above, he will fall backwards. If it were to happen that you fall with him, then put your left leg on both his, and then press down, so that he cannot get up from the ground, and thus you have pinned the enemy down. </p> | ||

+ | | <p>[82] '''A throw with a deadly stab with the dagger'''</p> | ||
+ | |||
+ | <p>In said fight you behave as follows: step up with your right foot toward your opponent, and hold your sword with your right hand on the hilt and the pommel directed at the opponent, left hand on the middle of the blade. Then you step forward with your left foot and turn in the point into the opponent's groin. If he does this to you, and you are standing with your left foot forward, holding the sword with your right hand on the hilt and the left on the middle of the blade, point toward the enemy, then lower your sword and parry his thrust to your right. If your thrust is parried in the same manner, then drop your sword, grab hold with your left hand in the opponent's left, lift it up, and ram your chest into his loins so that the opponent's is forced down. Then you draw your dagger, pry open the visor on his helmet and stab it through his head. </p> | ||

+ | | <p>[83] '''Another technique as the previous'''</p> | ||
+ | |||
+ | <p>When you step together in this fight you and your opponent, then you must do as follows: take a step forward with your left leg, and hold the sword with the right hand on the hilt and the pommel facing the opponent, and the left hand on the middle of the blade, and the point over the left leg. Then you take another step forward with your right leg, and stab the opponent in the groin with the point. If you are standing with your left foot forward too, holding the sword with your right hand on the hilt toward the opponent, and the left hand on the middle of the blade, raised over your head, then parry his thrust on the blade between your hands and do a double thrust at his visor. If he attacks you in the same manner, then drop your sword, and grab his left elbow with your left hand and push him away, and you have averted his thrusts. Then, however, you grab hold of his waist with your right hand, and pull it away forcefully. That way you will throw the opponent on his face. When this is done, then knee him between his legs and press him down thus. Pull the dagger, pry open his visor and stab him in the neck. When you have thrown him over in this manner, then you take his sword and put it over his back, as is custom in a duel. </p> | ||

+ | | <p>[84] '''A throw in armoured combat followed by tying up the opponent'''</p> | ||
+ | |||
+ | <p>When you enter before your opponent, then step forward with your left foot and hold your sword with your right hand on the hilt over your head and the left on the middle of the blade with the point toward the enemy, and from here you step forward with your right foot and strike the opponent in the visor with the pommel. If he attacks you in the same manner, and you are standing with your left foot forward, holding your sword with your right hand on the hilt and the pommel toward the opponent, and the left on the middle of the blade over your right leg, then parry his strike on your blade between your hands, and hit him in the head with the cross or pommel. Then you drop the sword and reach down with both hands around behind the enemy's both legs and pull to you firmly, so that he falls forward. Thereafter you place your legs over your opponent's legs near his groin, and press down hard, so that he cannot get up. Then you take his sword and insert it through his arms and over his back, as well as take the strap, and tie his hands together, which is custom in duels. </p> | ||

+ | | <p>[85] '''The last device in armour combat where the opponent's life is taken'''</p> | ||
+ | |||
+ | <p>Thus you perform this device: step forward with your right leg, and hold the hilt of your sword in your right hand and the left on the middle of the blade before your face, pommel pointing down, point up. Then you take another step forward with your left leg and make a double thrust with your point at your opponent's visor. If he tries to attack you in the same manner, and you are standing with your right foot forward, holding your sword with your right on the hilt and the left on the middle of the blade, point toward the enemy, then lift the sword up high and parry his thrust on the blade between your hands, to your left side. Then quickly, drop your sword and put your left hand under his left armpit and shove him away from you, place your right foot outside behind his left grab hold with your right hand in his right leg and pull hard, and he will fall face first. Then you pull the dagger and stab it through the back of his neck. After that you take his sword and place it under his arms and over his back, and tie his arms together with the strap, which is custom and ancient law for the victor in ordeal by combat. </p> | ||

Paulus Hector Mair (Paul Hektor Mayr, Meyer; 1517 – 1579) was a 16th century German aristocrat, civil servant, and fencer. He was born in 1517 to a wealthy and influential Augsburg patrician family. In his youth, he likely received training in fencing and grappling from the masters of Augsburg fencing guild, and early on developed a deep fascination with fencing treatises. He began his civil service as a secretary to the Augsburg City Council; by 1541, Mair was the city treasurer, and in 1545 he also took on the office of Master of Rations.
Mair's martial background is unknown, but as a citizen of a free city he would have had military obligations whenever the city went to war, and as a member of a patrician family he likely served in the cavalry. He was also an avid collector of fencing treatises and other literature on military history. Like his contemporary Joachim Meyer, Mair believed that the Medieval martial arts were being forgotten, and he saw this as a tragedy, idealizing the arts of fencing as a civilizing and character-building influence on men. Where Meyer sought to update the traditional fencing systems and apply them to contemporary weapons of war and defense, Mair was more interested in preserving historical teachings intact. Thus, some time in the latter part of the 1540s he commissioned what would become the most extensive compendium of German fencing treatises ever made, a massive two-volume manuscript compiling virtually every fencing treatise he could access. He retained the workshop of Jörg Breu the Younger to create the illustrations for the text,[1] and hired two Augsburg fencers to pose for the illustrations.[2] This project was extraordinarily expensive and took at least four years to complete. Ultimately, three copies of this compendium were produced, each more extensive than the last; the first (MSS Dresden C.93/C.94) was written in Early New High German, the second and most artistically ambitious (Cod.icon. 393) in New Latin, and the rougher third version (Cod. 10825/10826) incorporated both languages.
Beginning in the 1540s, Mair began purchasing older fencing manuscripts, some from fellow collector Lienhart Sollinger (a Freifechter who lived in Augsburg for many years) and others from auctions. Perhaps most significant of all of his acquisitions was the partially-completed treatise of Antonius Rast, a Master of the Long Sword and three-time Captain of the Marxbrüder fencing guild. The venerable master left it incomplete when he died in 1549, and in 1553 Mair produced a complete fencing manual (Reichsstadt "Schätze" Nr. 82) based on his notes. Ultimately, he owned over a dozen fencing manuscripts over the course of his life, including the following:
- Codex I.6.2º.1 - A copy of one of Hans Talhoffer's fencing manuals, possibly the MS XIX.17-3.
- Codex I.6.2º.2 - A compilation of Jörg Wilhalm's longsword treatise and Lienhart Sollinger's manuscript reproduction of Ergrundung Ritterlicher Kunst der Fechterey.
- Codex I.6.2º.3 - A copy of Codex I.6.4º.5 with descriptive text by Hutter.
- Codex I.6.2º.4 - Jörg Breu's draftbook for his work on Mair's treatises.
- Codex I.6.2º.5 - A compilation of records of the Marxbrüder fencing guild, Hans Medel's gloss of Liechtenauer's Recital, Medel's additional teachings, and fencing prints by Maarten van Heemskerck.
- Codex I.6.4º.2 - A compilation of two treatises from the Augsburg Group and a much older, uncaptioned series of fencing drawings known as pseudo-Gladiatoria.
- Codex I.6.4º.5 - Jörg Wilhalm's draftbook.
- MS E.1939.65.354 - Gregor Erhart's fencing manual. (Formerly Codex I.6.4º.4.)
- Reichsstadt "Schätze" Nr. 82 - The expanded and finished version of Antonius Rast's fencing notes.
He also used several printed books as source material for his compendia, and presumably owned copies, including Der Allten Fechter gründtliche Kunst (printed by Christian Egenolff), Opera Nova by Achille Marozzo, and Ringer Kunst by Fabian von Auerswald.
Mair not only spent incredible sums of money on his fencing interests, but generally lead a lavish lifestyle and maintained his political influence with expensive parties and other entertainments for the burghers and patricians of Augsburg. This habit of living far beyond his means for decades exhausted his family's wealth, eventually leading him to sell the Latin version of his fencing manuscript (netting the princely sum of 800 florins) and finally to begin embezzling money from the Augsburg city coffers. This embezzlement was not discovered for many years (or perhaps was overlooked due to the political favor his parties garnered), until finally a disgruntled assistant reported him to the Augsburg City Council in 1579 and provoked an audit of his books. Mair was arrested, tried, and hanged as a thief at the age of 62. After Mair's death, his effects (including his library) were sold at auction to recoup some of the funds he had embezzled.
Whether viewed as an unwise scholar who paid the ultimate price for his art or an ignoble thief who violated his city's trust, Mair remains one of the most influential figures in the history of Kunst des Fechtens. By completing the fencing manual of Antonius Rast, Mair gave us valuable insight into the Augsburg fencing tradition; his own works are impressive on both an artistic and practical level, and his extensive commentary on the fencing illustrations in his collection serves to make potentially useful training aids out of what would otherwise be mere curiosities. Finally, in purchasing so many important fencing treatises he succeeded in preserving them for future generations; they were purchased by the fabulously wealthy Fugger family after his death and eventually passed to the Augsburg University Library, where they remain to this day.

Treatise
Much of Mair's content represents his revision and expansion of the older treatises listed above, including adding descriptive content to uncaptioned illustrations. Where available, these illustrations are displayed in the left-most column, labeled "Source Illustrations", for comparison purposes. Mair's own illustrations appear in the second column, alongside the translation. Wherever possible, the version from the manuscript or book that Mair owned is displayed; in some cases, however, the only known copy is in a book that Mair never had access to as far as we know (suggesting the existence of lost manuscripts).
The Dresden version contains the fewest pieces and its artwork is most reminiscent of Breu's style, suggesting that it was the first copy produced. The Munich adds additional plays and sections on top of the Dresden's contents and the Vienna likewise augments the Munich, so it appears that this was order of creation; conversely, the Dresden has no unique content, and the only unique plays in the Munich are in the section on jousting. To give a visual sense of this evolution of the work, the Dresden illustrations are used wherever possible; the Munich illustrations appear only for those plays that are missing from the Dresden, and the Vienna for those that are likewise missing from the Munich.

Preface It would only be right and proper, and I would have thought it good and advisable, for me to publish this knightly book of honour without any preface, as to the knowledgeable each art can with good reason defend and speak for itself. But as I become aware and notice, that this manly art of fencing, as other arts besides, which profit the beloved fatherland as useful and honourable, and by the learned are praised for men to study, are by those who out of idleness and neglect fail to respect the good virtues and arts, and those that do neither love nor feel inclination to learn, not just failing to support, but the same that from an ignorant, impertinent and lazy carelessness use disdainful words of mockery to besmirch them (as I during the long time during which I have compiled this work of honour, myself had to experience, and such things did often have to hear to my vexation). Therefore, moved and instigated against my will that I would order and place here a little preface and apology of the noble knightly art of fencing, to all beloved honourable men, be they of noble birth or otherwise. To this end I would not look on the cost, just as I did not with the other work and zeal that I put into this work, with unwavering hope that this preface would succeed to serve as good and comprehensible instruction for the reader. |

The ancient and modern Greek, Latin and German historians have put much zeal and effort into the question, in numerous points and articles, from which basis and causes, in which time, and in what land and situation, and by whose instigation, the knightly sport of fencing first took its origin and source, but in the cause and the tale of years, or in place and situation, they all are in agreement, that this knightly art of fencing was in the beginning established with the purpose of serving to the honour, virtue and stimulation to the youth of both high and low birth, and also to the protection and preservation of the fatherland. But in the question of naming who was the first inventor of this art, they are found somewhat discordant and of differing opinions. |

Porro[3] historici probati ex Graecis, Latinis, atque Theutonicis plerique consentiunt de inventoribus istius artis, nec non origine, et quo tempore ea primum sit inventa, quibusque regionibus fuerit in usu. Atqui affirmant Athleticam in utilitatem iuventutis et omnium virtutum excitationem, tum etiam ad tutandam patriam esse repertam, non solum nobilium, verum etiam eorum qui humili de stirpe nati sunt, attamen in hoc nonnihil dissentire videntur, qui dubitant, qui primus omnium fuerit eius artis author. |

And while many of the learned say that this art of the knightly sport, as other arts beside, must have come among men to influence[?] their appetites and pleasure, from above, i.e. from God and celestial influence of the stars, as is well believable. Besides this, some say that Pollux, who was honoured by the Romans, was an instigator of this honourable art; others would attribute the honour of such invention to Mercury. But both these statements must be found somewhat obscure and uninstructive from the fact that they do not explain what use or profit they would have made from this art, or which lords they took as their disciples that would have learned the art from them and in turn passed it on. But the majority of the same historiographers state and testify that Probas, the famous fencer and teacher of Theseus, the king of Athens in Greece, in which realm the knightly art in the beginning and for a long time thereafter did much prosper, was the first inventor and establisher of this art. For this same Probas did to the highest extent praise and commend the knightly exercise to king Theseus with fair and rigorous argument, to the kingdom and fatherland, to all ordered conduct and honesty, and all that serves the preservation of the liberty of the fatherland, as a highly expedient medicine against the useless, inert and recreant slothfulness and other frivolity. Which instruction said king Theseus took to heart and in consideration of that this knightly art and exercise of fencing in times of peace may be an honourable and manly exercise for the young, but in times of distress and danger may serve and succeed towards the fatherland's honour, advantage and prosperity, he put belief in Probas and himself together with some of the most noble of his court, undertook it to learn this knightly art of fencing, to which end Probas was highly assiduous. And thus the honourable art of fencing prospered from the cause that each [practitioner] was found that much more competent and able to support the fatherland in its need. Said king Theseus did build, to considerable cost, many sumptuous houses dedicated for the exercise of this art, in Athens and elsewhere in his realm, which was the beginning of the general [systematic] tuition in fencing. These events under the reign of the Athenian king Theseus, who according to the reckoning of the Urspergian[4] reigned for thirty years, took place and occurred approximately in the year 1224 before the birth of our saviour Jesus Christ, and from this circumstance it follows that this art, which has been founded by kings, and by many of royal and noble kin and blood besides, which served to themselves as a noble exercise and towards honour, advantage and necessity for the fatherland, may well and truly be called a noble and knightly sport. But what zeal and considerable cost was invested by the ancients in the knightly art of fencing, and in what earnest and honourable reputation its exercise was held, furthermore what high persons undertook to learn this art, and to what good consequence this art served in all lands and kingdoms, this I will also tell and describe. |

[002v] Quidam eruditi Athleticam ex influentia astrorum certorum in mentes hominum delabi volunt, atque ex Deo eius desiderium fluere, quod quidem non incredibile et mihi videtur, quandoquidem omnia sunt in ipso, et per ipsum (attestante Apostolo). Sunt autem qui existimant Pollucem, quem Romani coluerunt, autorem certaminis istius fuisse primum, alii vero credunt a Mercurio Athleticam originem traxisse. Sed tamen obscure ab Autoribus traditur, quamobrem ea ab utroque sit reperta, quem ad usum, item quos predicti discipulos habuerint, atque post se reliquerint. In hoc tamen plerique Historiographorum consentiunt atque affirmant, quod Phorbas, qui celebris fertur fuisse Athleta, eiusque atris peritissimus, et Thesei Athenarum regis, Athletici certaminis praeceptor (Athenis igitur longo tempore eam floruisse attestantur, nec non originem indefluxisse) Primus artis inventis fuerit. Nam is Phorbas id exercitii genus Regi Theseo Multis probabilibus argumentis in utilitatem patriae tuendae descripsit, tum etiam in usum totium Regni accommodum, ad excitanda honorem ingenia ad omnes virtutes, contra desidiosos, et fortitudinem contemnentes. Quod certe exercitium Theseus intellexit iuventuti cedere ad omnis generis virtutes, cum temporibus pacatis tum vero magno usui fore rebus bellicis, atque salutem patriae ex hoc exercitio profluere. Quare ipse rex pariter cum nobilioribus, qui eius aulam sequebantur, athleticam didicit, et plures, qui id exercitii genus ad patriam defendendam aptum et utile esse cognoverunt, quod essent ad quaevis certamina subeunda habiliores. Ex ea igitur, ratione tantum Athletica incrementi sumpsit, ut Theseus aliquot aedes constituerit. In quibus iuventus hav in re exerceretur, non solum Athenis, verumetiam in aliis locis Atticis, non minimis sumptibus. Porro id exercitium sub Theseo Athenarum Rege decimo institutum est, qui iuxta Ursbergensis supputationem regnavit ante Christum redemptorem nostrum annis MCCXIIII. Quantam autem diligentiam et operam veteres in hoc exercitio insumpserint et qui viri nobiles gymnica certamina didicerint quantis sumptibus, quidque utilitatis inde fluxerit, in sequentibus ordine demonstrabo. |

Because the human nature of budding youth may not rest or be idle, and because this knightly exercise as a manly virtue was well praised and held in high honour, not alone in Greece but all over the world, thus in the land of Greece, and in other places besides, and especially in the province of Boeotia, by the strong and widely famous fencing master Cercioni, places and sites were chosen and cleared where one could fence, wrestle, duel and practice other knightly games, which were given by him the name of Palestra, which name is still in use by the Latins. This example was followed by the mighty cities, such as Athens, Argis, Sparta, Corinth, and other peoples besides, which in the interest of beloved brevity I will refrain from describing. After the knightly art made entrance in Italy, the Romans with unspeakable cost very great and artful houses were constructed and called Theatrum, that is "show-houses", and the prize among these was attained by the Roman Consul Staurus, who built such an artful Theatrum, which stood on three hundred and sixty marble pillars, and full hundred fencers might therein fence, in honour of the god Jupiter. In these show-houses the fencing-masters would at appropriate times, specifically on holidays, assemble and hold such exercise of the knightly sport, dedicated to the honour of the gods, in the exercise of fencing, wrestling, running, both on horse and on foot. The exercise of fencing was also performed with such honourable and respectable virtuous order, that sessiones were held and introduced in which everyone, i.e. providing he was of nobility, or held an office of state, could sit and watch the knightly sport. That the Roman people loved the knightly sport to such an extent, and was assiduous to learn and visit it, that they once in such great number came to the Theatrum and show-houses, that these, in spite of being built with art and strength, could not endure such zest of the population that, as Livius writes, at Fidena such a house due to the great weight did collapse and fell to the ground, killing two thousand men.[5] Even in the current day, in many places such former and collapsed show-houses can be seen in Greece, Italy and Lombardy, especially in Rome and in Verona. |

Nachdem die menschliche Natur der plüende jugend nicht ruwen, odere feiren kan unnd aber dise ritterliche übung als ain manliche tugend, nicht allain in Grecia, sondern in aller Welt, grosslich gelobt, und in hohen eeren gehalten ward, So wurden in den Landen Grecie, und andern orten mere und besonders in der Landschaft Boecia, von dem starcken und weitberumbten fechtmeister Cercioni, plätz und ort, darauf man fechten, ringen, kampggen, und andere ritterspil üben solt, erwelt und gefreiet, die den namen Palestra von im empfangen, und dass die Lateiner noch zunennen im gebrauch haben. Denen haben nachgevolget die gewaltigen stet, Als Athen, Argis, Sparta, Corinthon, und andere Volcker mer, die ich umb geliebter kurtze willen zubeschreiben underlassen will. Nachdem aber die ritterliche kunst in Italia eingetretten, sind von den Römern gar künstliche grosse heuser, mit unseglichen kosten, wirklich erbauet, und Theatrum, das ist Schauheuser genant worden, under welchen verbauungen, der römisch Consul Staurus, welcher ein sollichen künstlichen Theatrum, der auff dreihundert und sechtzig marmolstainen seulen stunde, und hundert bar fechter darinnen fechten mochten, dem Got Jovis zu eeren erbauett, den preis erlanget hat. In welchen schauheusern dann die fechtmaister zu bequemlicher zeit, und sonderlich an den festtagen, darauff dann sollche übung des ritterspils, den Göttern zu eeren gestifftet war, zusamen kamen, und alda in übung des fechtens, ringens, lauffens, baides zu ross und fuss, hielten. Es wurde auch der übung des fechtens mit so einer eerlich ansehlichen züchtigen ordnung zugeschen, das sessiones, wohin jeder dem ritterspil zugesehen, namlich nach dem eer geadelt, oder in des rats ämbteren gewesen, sitzen solt, gemacht und geordnet wurden. Dann das römisch volck disen ritterspil dermasen geliebt und das zulernen und zubesuchen, so hochbeflissen gewesen, das sie ettwan mit so grosser antzal inn die Theatrum und schaufhauser zusamen kamen, das die bemelte geben unangesehen das sie [007*r] von kunst und sterck so fleissig gemacht solchen lust des volcks nicht haben ertragen mugenn, und wie Livius schreibt, das zu Fidena ein solch haus von wegen des grossen lasts, ernider gang zu boden gefallen, und ob zwaitausent menschen erschlagen hab. Es werden aber noch heuttigen tags an vil orten solche antzaignung der vergangene und zerfalne scheuhauser in Griechen, Italia, und Lombardia, vil gesehen, und insonders zu Rom und Diettrichs Bern noch heuttigentags gute antzaignung von sich geben. |
[2] Natura hominum ita constituta est, praecipue autem iuventutis, ut [003r] nunquam esse ociosa possit, sed animum ad aliquod negotium subinde adiungat, quare factum est, cum Athletica iam non solum in Grecia verumetiam in toto terrarum orbe celebraretur, ut certa loca in Graecia, et maxime in Boeotia ad eam artem exercendam destinarentur per cercionem Athletam strenuum, quibus luctae, Certamina Gymnica et alia honesta exercitia agerentur, dictique ii loci sunt palestre quod nomen et apud nos hodie obtinuerunt. Hos postea imitati sunt Athenienses, Argivi, Lacedaemonii, Corinthii et alii populi quamplurimi, quorum breviati studens, mentionem hoc loco facere non licet. Postquam veri in Italiam Athletica translata est Romanique in primis, sumptibus et impensis ineffabilibus Romani aedes splendidas ad eam artem exercendam construxere, easque amplissimas, que postea Theatra adpellari coeperunt, quorum Scaurus Consul Romanus unum construxit, trecentis et sexaginta columnis marmoreis nitens, in quo poterant Athletae ducenti invicem concertare, erat autem id Theatrum in Honorem Iovis aedificatum. In iis igitur Theatris pugnabantur certis temporibus diebus scilicet solennibus iisque qui Deorum honoribus addicti erant. Varia autem erant certamina, cursus nimirum, luctarumque dimicationes pariter pedestres et equestres. Ad eas spectandas certae sedes distribuebantur iuxta cuiusvis dignitatem spectantium. Populus Romanus tanto amore, tantaque voluptate ista certamina prosequutus est, ut ita frequentes in Theatris convenerint, ut etiamsi ea essent firmissime coagmentata, aliquando prae multitudine et turba spectantium collapsa sint. Livius quoque scripsit Fidenis Theatrum corruisse, atque viginti milia hominum [003v] oppressisse, qui spectandi gratia convenerant. Caeterum multis in locis hodie vestigia collapsorum Theatrorum visuntur in Graecia, Italia Lombardia, Romae et Veronae. |

Above we have heard how this knightly art of manhood was afforded and established by the learned and wise, also by the kings and princes as leaders of lands and kingdoms, which was done for the reason that land and people, widows and orphans would be kept in peace, calm and liberty, protected and saved from tyrants. For this to have its perfect and prosperous success, the highest heads, i.e. kings, princes, consuls and senators, did themselves undertake, learn and practice this knightly art, so as to present an example and motivation for their subjects, and there would be a great number of high potentates, i.e. emperors, kings, princes and noblemen, to be named at this point, which I have foregone, particularly in the case of the Greeks, not to put too much of a burden on the kind reader, and only alone the most notable Romans will I most briefly introduce and describe as a testimonial on the topic. |

Romulus, the first founder and lawmaker of the city of Rome, and king thereat, according to the description by Plutarch, did hold himself so praiseworthy and fairly by his strength, swiftness and art of fencing in the war against the Fidenates that the enemy was beaten and the name of Rome did receive much praise, profit and honour. |

Romulus primus Romanorum Rex, conditor urbis, et legislator contra Fidenates tanta pugnandi arte, robore et velocitate pugnasse dicitur (Plutarcho teste) ut omnes ultra vires humanas certasse eum faterentur, et in eo Proelio maxima pars caedis soli Romulo attribueretur. |

But that the worthy Romans did place their trust, hope and refuge in the knightly art of fencing even at the time of most dire need is testified by Julius Caesar himself, and by Crispus Palustinus and even by the entire worship of writers. |
Das aber die werden Römer ir vertrauen, hoffnung und zuflucht in die ritterlichen kunst dess fechtens, ja auch in der zeit der höchsten not gesetzt haben, bezeugt Julius Cesar selb, auch Crispus Palustinus,[6] und schier die gantz schar der Scribenten. |

The said Julius Caesar writes that as he undertook his quick march upon Rome, that Pompey was in such need to flee Rome and so fearful that he did call to him and exhort the masters of the knightly art of fencing together with their school disciples and their family for his protection and led them away with him. With this masterful move Pompey did imagine that he had create for himself a double profit, firstly by keeping around him valiant persons experienced in such knightly art and secondly that he by this would vex Julius his enemy by reducing, breaking and divesting him of his strength and support. |
Bemelter Julius Cesar schreibt, als er seinen schnellen zug auf Rom furgenommen, das dem Pompeio so notig von Rom zu fliehen, auch so furchtsam gewesen, das Er die maister der ritterlichen kunst des fechtens, sambt irer schul discipel und geschlechter in die vil beruefft, auffgemanet, und zu seinem beschutz, mit im hinweg gefuert hab. Mit herllichem stuck pompaiens vermainet, ime zwen nütz geschaffet haben, Erstlich, das er mit sollichen ritterlich kunst, erfarene tapffere personen bey ime behalten, und damit desterbass benarrt wurde, fur das ander, das dem Julio seinem feind, sein sterck und hilff geringert, zerbrochen und entzogen wurde. |

Likewise the Roman senator Palustrinus writes on the Roman insurgence and rabblement of Catilinus that the most famous prince of all orators, Cicero, at the time Roman mayor and keeper of the city of Rome, upon whom the entire senate of the city of Rome laid the burden of the Roman public interest so that the city would not take ruinous damage by the impudent rabblement of Catilinus, among other prudent actions did order to assemble all valiant and honest masters of the sword, and their associated families and disciples, who in all weapons had learned, been instructed and exercised in how to use them to full advantage, not just in the city of Rome but also in Capua and other cities of Italy, which thereafter did receive the Roman freedom, so that they in the most dire need of the city of Rome did handsomely perform the most urgent office of the night-watch, which council the worthy Romans took in this and in similar pernicious riots, so that the noble Romans did ever and always hold this knightly art in highest honour so that they might rely on the same in times of acute need, from which their might, power and glory did increase daily.[7] |
Dessgleichen schreibt der römisch senatore Palustinus in der römischen aufrur und rottierung Catalini auch, das der hochberuembt fürst aller Oratores Cicero, diser zeit römischer Burgermaister und erhalter der stat Rom, Als im von dem gantzen senat der stat Rom, auff das die stat von der frechen Rottierung Catalini nicht verderblichen schaden empfinge, die gantz bürde des romischen gemainen nutz auferlegt worden, Welcher under anderen waisslichen furschungen geordert hat, namlich, das alle tapffer und redliche maister des schwerts, und derselben zugethanen geschlechter oder discipel, welliche in allen gewherenn mit allem vortail dieselben zugebrauchen gelert, underwisen, und geubt gewesen, nicht allain in der stat Rom, sonde zu Capua und allen andern stetten in Italian die sich dann der römischen freihait gebrauchen, zusamen beruffen, und denselben in solcher der stat Rom [007*v] höchster not, das allersorgklichest ambt, als die nacht schiltwacht, durch welliche alle rottirung leichtlich abgetriben werden mag, statlich beholfen hat, wellicher ratschlag dan werden Römern in diser und anderen dergleichen verderblichen auffruern, wol verschlossen hab, derhalben die Edlen Römer dise ritterliche kunst auff das sie derselben in der zeit furfallender nott gemessen mochten, je und allwegen hohen eeren gehalten, dadurch dann ir macht, gwalt und herrlichkait, taglich zugenomen. |

Julius, the first Roman emperor, did entrust his life to his body-guard, native Germans and famous fencers, more than four hundred in number, and to no-one else, and in Rome on the field of Mars he did himself fence, and did donate several treasures and prizes to the fencers shortly before his death. Likewise did emperor Augustus with great delight support and help the fencers, which example of love for the knightly art was freely followed by Tiberius the third Roman emperor, as is all recorded by Suetonius Tranquillus[8] and by others besides in their accounts. |

The Romans were had the custom in spiritual matters of honouring the gods with this exercise of the knightly sport on their customary fest-days. In the month of March did they honourably hold a great feast lasting five days, of which three days of fencing for Pallas as a goddess of war. During these three days a special captain was designated who should instruct the youth in the upholding of manly honesty in fencing with all weapons twice daily, in the morning and in the evening. As the funeral of the body of Brutus should be held, his two sons Marcus and Decius did ordain abundant prizes and treasures for the fencers for which they should fence. Likewise as the emperor Probus won his victory against the Germans and did triumph he did let fence a total of three hundred[9] naked fencers in front of the public. |

Likewise, Dominicanus by night and Gordianus at one time five hundred naked fencers, and after him emperor Philip the Arab, in a spectacle for the Roman people and in honour of his triumph did let fence a full thousand naked fencers on a single day.[10] Of such examples and histories would be many others to be told, but I feel that this should suffice for a general indication. |

There was however in the beginning and during that time a different mindset in fencing, and as each judicious fencer may gauge for himself, the artful plays and hidden holds, steps and strikes may in origin not have been worked out as they have now, but over time, as the learned, whom I shall name below, also kings, princes and noblemen did dedicate themselves to the knightly exercise, by their assiduity were discovered the best artful plays and advantages with which a man might win in all tasks and cases of necessity, and this has gone on for such a time that in the end they were set down in epitomes or books, with figures and writing, so that one may still in this current day consult the experience of those ancients who did love the art. |
[005r] Es hat aber Im anfanng Vnnd zu diser zeit · ein anndere Mainung Inn dem Fechten gehabt · vnnd nachdem ein Jeder verstenndiger Fechter selbs ermessen kan · so haben die Kunstliche stuckh vnnd verborgne griff · trit vnnd straich Im anfanng nicht wie Jetzund · herfurgethan werden mögen · aber mit der Zeit · als sich die gelerten · die ich hernach benennen will · Auch die Kunig / Fursten vnnd herren · sich der Ritterlichen übung angenommen · alda seind die bösten Kunstlichsten stuckh vnnd vortail · damit der mann Inn allem thun vnnd faellen der nott · gewunnen werden möcht · durch Iren vleÿß herfurkumen · vnnd hat solches so lanng gewehret · das sie zuletst Inn Zettel oder Buecher · mit bossen vnnd schrifften · gebracht worden sein · als man dann beÿ den alten · so die Kunst geliebt noch heutigs tags · Inn der erfarung sihet · |
Es hat aber im anfang und zu diser zeit ein anderer meinung in dem fechten gehabt, und nach dem ein jeder verstandiger fechter selbs ermessen knn, so haben die künstliche stück und verborgene griff, tritt und straich, im anfang nicht wie jetzund, herfür gethan worden mugen, aber mit der zeit, als sich die gelerten, die ich hernach benennen will, auch die künig, fürsten unnd herren, sich der ritterlichen übung angenomen, alda seind die besten künstlichsten stück und vortail, damit der mann in allem thun und fällen der not, gewunnen werden möcht, durch iren fleis herfürkomen, und hat solches so lang geweret, das sie zuletzt in zettel oder büchern, mit bossen und schrifften, gebracht worden sein, als man dann bey den alten, so die kunst geliebt, noch heutigs tags in der erfarung sihet. |
Caeterum eo tempore, ubi primum Athletica exerceri coepit longe [004v] alia Ictuum, congressuum et aliorum eius artis habitum ratio fuit, nam ab initio statim ea tam atrificiose, ut nunc in usu sunt, excogitari non poterant, verum succedenti tempore in melius cessere, cum reges, principes et heroes eam artem ipsi coepissent tractare et exercere, tum optima quemque eius artis antea incognita atque occulta in luce prodierunt. Ea itaque ratione contigit, ut imagines athletarum habitibus certis in certaminibus mutuis utentium, tabulis insculperentur, nec non libris inscriberentur ut adhuc nostro saeculo videre licet. |

In addition, the ancients, and especially the Greeks, did have such desire and love for the knightly exercise, that they did forego any kind of sweet food or drink several days before they would fence, likewise the lust of women besides all else that weakens the body and makes for heavy breathing, and did peruse such foods, as meat and other kinds, as do strengthen the body. On this matter did the learned medici, and especially the most famous Galen,[11] repeatedly and artfully discuss, whether austerity and abstinence or the practice of fencing would profit more for the life of man. Also Saint Paul does report such an example in his epistle where he says, you see that those who would fence and fight over a transient honour or treasure are wont to forego all lust, as if he would say, why do not you the same, as pious Christians who are fighting not for an earthly but for a heavenly honour in this world.[12] And therefore all those who love this knightly art do well to consider that in those times there were no drunken and immodest but sober, apt and most artful fencers. Also, it is rarely found in writing that among the ancients fencing was undertaken out of envy or hatred, as in our times regrettably occurs often, but out of love and artfulness. After the ancients did chastise themselves as they were expecting the day of fencing, they and the weapons with which they would fence were transported in all honesty on wagons to the fencing place or Theatrum, and for them the prizes and treasures were painted in fine likeness and carried before them, and also beforehand publicly posted on the market-place, and thus made known to the common man. This custom is attributed by the historiographers with great praise to Terentius Lucanus, who on three consecutive days did permanently have thirty naked fencers on the field, and when the fencers, masters and disciples entered the fencing place they put down their weapons in proper order (as is still the custom today); then the names of all fencers were written on pieces of paper and then with great assiduity the lot was drawn arbitrarily, and those two who were drawn by the lot then did have to fight most artfully and honourably for the treasure. For this, each of the fencers did most assiduously invoke their god, one Hercules, the other Mercury, yet others Pollux and Castor, and so forth, and pray that the lot would pair them with good and artful fencers, and not immodest ones who were not well experienced in the art. All of this does illustrate that the ancients did fence above all for art and knightly virtue and honour than for any other things, for which reason, for the later generations of fencers and for the honour of the knightly art, the fight-schools as they were held and the promenading houses and halls of the rich were painted in their likeness, and those who held them, and those who won the prize were finely depicted, and the highest prize in this was retained by the freedman of emperor Nero who at Antium at the great imperial palace and promenade did most artfully and gracefully depict the likeness of the fencing-schools and fencers.[13] |

[008*r] Zudem haben die alten, und insonders die Griechen, ein solchen lust und liebe zu der ritterlichen übung gehabt, das sie sich etlich tag zuvor, eemalen sie haben fechten wollen, etlicher schleckhaftiger speis und getranck, auch von dem wollust der weiber, sambt allem was den leib schwechet, und schweren athem machet, enthalten, und sich der speis, als flaisch und anders, so den leib sterckt, gebraucht. Derhalben die gelerten Medici, und insonder der weitberuembt Galenus, mermalen davon kunstlich disputiert haben, ob der abpruch und abstinentz, oder die übung des fechtens, dem leben das menschens nutzer seie. Der hailig Paulus meldet solchs Exempelsz wais auch in seiner Epistel da er sagt, ir sehent das sich alle die, welche umb ein zergengkliche Eer unnd Clainat, fechten und streitten wollen, sich von allem wollust enthalten, als wolt er sagen, warumb nit ir als fromme Christen auch, die nit umb ein irdisch, sonder umb ein himmlische eer in diser welt streitten ·/· Und haben derhalben alle liebhaber diser ritterlichen kunst, wol zugedencken, das es diser zeit nicht wolle truncken, und onbeschaiden, sonder nüchtern, geschickte, unnd gantz künstliche fechter geben hatt. Man findet auch selten in schrifften, das bey den uralten aus neid und hasz, sonder aus lieb unnd kunst, gefochten worden seig, als laider zu unser zeit viel beschihet. Wann die alten sich gekastigiret, und also den tag des fechtens erwartet haben, da hat man dann die fechter mit iren gewhören darinnen sie haben fechten sollen gantz eerlich auff wägen zu dem fechtplatz oder Theatrum, gefüert, und inen die gewinneter unnd Clainaten fein abgemalt Conterfect vorher getragen, auch solchs am markt zuvor angeschlagen, dem gemainen mann solchs damit zu wissen gethan. Disen gebrauch geben die historischreiber dem Terencio Lucano, welcher drey tag nacheinander allweg dreissig bar fechter auf dem platz zu fechten gehalten, mit grossem lob zu, und wann dann die fechter, maister und jünger auff den fechtplatz komen, haben sie dann die gewehren (.wie dann noch in gebrauch ist.) nach ordnung nidergelegt, alsz dann saind aller fechter namen auff zedelen von papir geschriben worden und darnach das losz gantz ongefarlich mit höchstem flais gehalten, uind welche zwen dann mit dem losz herausz komen sein, habend dann umb die klainat, gantz künstlich und eerlich fechten müessen.

Antiquos et Grecos Athletica tantopere delectavit, ut antequamque in certamina gymnica descenderent omnis generis deliciis quem corporis vires exhaurirent, abstinerent, praecipue autem sibi a Venere cavebant, etiam ab iis quae spiritus difficultatem redderent, contra autem carnibus et aliis cibis qui corpus corroborant, vescebantur. Idcirco saepe Medici exellentiores interse disceptarunt, et Galenus ille peritissimus disputavit, num abstinentia, vel exercitum Athleticum vitae humanae commodius et utilius sit. Et Paulus mentionem eius rei facit in Epistola prima ad Corinthios inquirens: “nonne videtis quod qui pro Corona peritura decertant per omnia sunt temperantes? “ Innuens, ut nos quemadmodum pios Christianos deced, pro corona aeterna et non tantum peritura decertemus. Et hoc loco monendi sumus, ad Athleticam ebriosos, immodestas, et furiosos, ineptos plane esse: contra vero sobrios et temperantes, nam veteres non ex invidia et odio moti concitatique mutuo concertarunt sed potius amore mutuo, atque ipsius artis delectatione. Cum tempus decertandi Athleticae advenisset, Athletae Curribus praeciosis in Theatra vectabantur iis prabea splendide atque eleganter picta, priusquam vero id adornaretur, publice affigebatur, quo tempore inituri esset Athletae certamen, quo eius populus certior redderetur, seque ad id spectandum conferret, eum morem Terentio Lucano at [005r] tribuere historiographi videntur, qui tribus continuis diebus triginta paria Athletarum confligere mutuis certaminibus more Athletico curavit in palaestra. Quum igitur in locis consuetis pugiles, atque ipsorum discipuli convenissent, ordine sicuti fortes et peritos Athletas decebat, omnis generis arma humi disposuerunt, quod et hodie in usu remansit. Post eorum, nômina papyro inscripta in urnam iniecta sunt, et qui simul educti essent duo aitem una educebantur sine fraude, ii mutuo congrediebantur, atque pro brabeo interse artificiose et more Athletico pugnabant. Quorum alii Herculeum alii Mercurium, alii vero Pollucem et Castorem, et alii alios invocacere, ut sibi in Gymnicis certaminibus contingerent Athletae periti, impolluti, atque ab omni fraude alieni; quaecerta et manifesta sunt iuditia, qui veteres magis propter temperatos moderatosque mores, tum propter ipsam virtutem concertarint, quam ob alias res acquirendas. Quapropter Palestrae concertantium in honorem artis Athleticae, amplis diutius aulis et aedibus necnon ambulacris ornatissime adpingebantur, quique obtinuerint victoriam eleganter descripti: inter quos primas tenuit Neronis libertus, qui palaestras adhibitis Athletis Antii, elegantissime depingi curavit. |

So did also the learned philosophers write about this knightly art, and the same were not ashamed to learn its, and among them Pythagoras, who was held a good fencer, was the foremost, as he did win the prize with his artful fencing at the celebration of the 48th Olympiad. Likewise did do many other excellent philosophers, without necessarily naming them all. So does Marcus Tullius Cicero, the Roman mayor and eventually administrator of the entire Roman empire write on the praise of fencing [T. q. folio.125.] I consider and trust entirely that nobody at all can be counted among the number of the learned orators who were not well versed and experienced in all arts that are knightly and even if we do not employ them in speaking, nor is it possible to discern this in us, if we are exercised in knightly sports, but the agility and the bearing of the body does concord and correspond with the agility of the voice, both in cheerful and in lamentable topics, such that it appears all the more agreeable to the listener. This is confirmed by the most learned orator Quintilianus who says that the persons who are given to praise and do not have contempt for the knightly sport of fencing and takes this as the cause that the same have great advantage and furtherance in the art of being well-spoken due to their agility Anacharsis[14] who lived at the time of king Croesus in Lydia, at the time when Rome had stood for 194 years, wrote that he did greatly marvel at how the Greeks were such stern judges while the fencers did bear themselves so heartily and well with[?] open spaces, houses, prizes, treasures and highest praise, as if he would say that the Greeks do well uphold the law and give to each man his due, to one his due praise and to the other his due punishment. Many more similar pronouncements furthering the honour of fencing could be mentioned, but as I feel that no amount would suffice for those who disparage this art, it should suffice for the present time. |

Neque vero Philosophos eruditissimos puduit Athleticam didicisse exercuisse, atque ea de re volumina aedidisse, quorum primus exixtimatur Pythagoras Athleta peritissimus fuisse, dicitur enim obtinuisse victoriam pariter cum suis pugilibus Olympiade XLVIII. Cuiusmodi multi alii fuere Philosophi, quorum hoc loco meminisse supervacaneum esse videtur. Cicero' aliubi Athleticam ad caelum usque sustulit cum inquit: “omnino [005v] existimo neminem in numerum Oratorum esse referendum, qui non in omnibus artibus praecipue etiam iis, que equestrem ordinem decent, sit eruditus” etiam si non sermone Athletica exerceatur nec eloquentia percipi possit, attamen in nobis cognoscitur, num in ea disciplina simus edocti, nam gestus et habitus corporis, si in ea simus exerciti adiuvant vocem in laeticia et querelis, qua fit ut longe auditoribus simus gratiores, atque suaviores. Quod certe et Quintilianus affirmat, eos, qui Athleticam artem artificose collent, magnopere esse laudandos et nequaquam esse aspernandos, addut insuper rationes, qui scilicet ii Athletica adiuventur in eloquentia, motum n. et gestum addere ei vim non exiguam et indecentem. Anacharsis qui Croesi tempore floruit, anno ab urbe condita centesimo nonagesimo quarto memoriae reliquit, se maxime mirari, quod Graeci habeant tam gravet et severos iudices, et nihilominus Athletas, qui invicem se laedere soliti sunt, tantis honoribus afficerent ut iis brabea constituerent aedes palaestras, et Theatra construerent, quasi diceret, Graecos severos esse et graves in puniendis vitiis, interim tamen iuvenes suos ad quamvis exercitia honesta, et certamina communis patriae defendendae gratia, atque libertatis excitarent. Plures sententiae huius modi possent hic allegari, quae Athletica ornarent, sed eas nunc omitto. |

But before I proceed to the last portion, where I speak about the usefulness of the knightly sport, I cannot restrain myself from most briefly discussing the duel as the most warlike ornament of fencing, even though in this book for weighty reasons only little is contained on the topic of duelling. The most learned doctor Johannes Aventinus[15] gives testimony in the first book of his chronicle that he made on the origin of the old and venerable house of Bavaria, that at the time of Jacob the patriarch, there was in Germany a king named Gampar or Kempfer,[16] who in the Saxon tongue, which is most similar to the German one, is known as king Gemper, from whom the word kampf ("duel") takes its origin, which the ancients, such as Homer, Orpheus, Ariostiphus, Diodorus, Siculus, and Strabo, besides many others beside, do clearly testify. This Gampar with his Germans made war on all of Asia, and filled it with his warlike name. From this the name of kampf or kempfer took its origin as a warlike deed But the abovementioned Aventinus says who did first make use of the duel, that even Hercules the son of Osir the king of the Egyptians, born from his spouse Isis, who is also called Ceres, did first bring the duel to German lands. There are also those who say that long before the Trojan War in Arcadia the duel was practiced by a native prince called Lycaon. But so that the kind reader may not be made confused or doubtful, he should know that this Lycaon lived long after both king Kampfer and Hercules. |
Aber ehemalen vnnd ich vonn · Dem letsten stuckh · das ist von dem nutz des Ritterspils etwas sage kan ich mich auß vrsachen · das der kampff als ein ernstliche zierd des Fechtens · wiewol von dem Kampff Inn disem Buch auß wichtigen vrsachen · wenig begriffen · mitnichten enthallten · sonder von demselben ein wenig· vnnd das auf das kurtzest zumelden mich vnndersahen · [006v] Der Hochgelert doctor · Johannes Auentinus · Zeuget Inn seinem ersten Buch · seiner Chronica · so er von dem herkomen des altloblichen haus zu Bairn gemacht hat · das zu der zeit Jacobs des Patriarchen · Inn Teutschlannden · ein Kunig Gampar · oder Kempffer · aber Sächsisch · welche sprach der Teutschen zungen am enlichisten zugemessen wirt · der Kunig · gemper · genannt wirt · dauon das wort Kempfen seinen vrsprung habe welche die alten · als Homerus · Orpheus· Ariostiphus · Diodorus · Siculus vnd Strabo · neben vil anndern mer · clärlich bezeugen · diser Gampar · hat mit seinen Teutschen das ganntz Asiam bekriegt · vnnd das mit seinnem ernstlichen Namen erfullet Daher der nam des kampff · oder kempffer als ainer ernstliche hanndlung · seinnen vrspru~g haben soll · wer aber sich des kampfs zu dem ersten gebraucht · sagt vorgemellter · Auentinus ·das In Hercules · der sun Osirs · des Kunigs der Egiptiern auß der Isidis die genannt wirt Ceres · seinem gemahel erborn · den kampff Inn Teutschlannden · erstlich gebracht habe · Es seind auch etlich die sagen · das lanng vor dem Troianischen krieg In Arcadia · von ainnem lanndsfursten · Licaon · genannt · der kampff gehallten worden seÿ · Damit aber der guethertzig Leser · Inn diser Rechnung nut Irr · oder Zweiffelhafftig gemacht werde · soll er wissen · das diser Licaon · lanng nach dem Kunig kampffer vnnd dem Hercule gelebt hat · |
Aber eemalen unnd ich von dem letzten stück, das ist von dem nutz des ritterspils etwas sage, kan ich mich aus ursachen, das der kampff als ein ernstliche zierd des fechtens, wiewol von dem kampff in disem buch aus wichtigen ursachen, wenig begriffen, mit nichten enthalten, sonder von demselben ein wenig, unnd das auf das kürtzest zumelden, mich underfahen. Der hochgelert doctor Johannes Aventinus zeuget in seinem ersten buch seiner Chronica, so er von dem herkomen des altloblichen haus zu Baiern gemacht hat, das zu der zeit Jacobs des patriarchen in Teutschlanden, ein kunig Gampar oder Kempffer, aber sächsisch, welche sprach der Teutschen zungen am enlichsten zugemessen wirt, der kunig Gemper genant wird, davon das wort kampff seinen ursprung habe, welches die alten, als Homerus, Orpheus, Ariostiphus, Diodorus, Siculus, und Strabo neben vil anderen mer, clärlich bezeugen. Diser Gampar hat mit seinen Teutschen das gantz Asiam bekriegt, und das mit seinen ernstlichen namen erfüllet. Daher der nam des kampff oder kempffer als ainer ernstliche hanndlung seinnen ursprung haben soll. Wer aber sich des kampfs zu dem ersten gebraucht, sagt der vorgemelter Aventinus, das ja Hercules der sun Osirs des kunigs der Egiptiern, aus der Isidis die genant wirt Ceres seinen gemahl erboren, den kampff in Teutschlannden, erstlich gebracht habe. Es seind auch ettlich die sagenn, das lang vor dem Troianischen krieg In Arcadia von einem Landfürsten Licaon genant, der kampff gehalten worden sey. Damit aber der guthertzig Leser inn diser rechnung nit irr, oder zweiffelhafftig gemacht werde, soll er wissen, das diser Licaon lang nach dem künig kampffer und dem Herculis gelebt hatt. |
Priusquam vero de utilitate Athleticae artis dicam, pauca quaedam de dimicationibus pedestribus premittenda censeo, quae nimium Athleticae magnum et minime poenitendum adfert ornamentum. Ioannes Aventinus, vir eruditissimus, libro primo Chronicorum, quae scripsit de Bavariae origine, attestatur, temporibus Patriarchae Iacob, in Germania Regem regnasse nomine Gampar, quem nos Germani appllamus “Kempfer”. I. Concertatorem atque inde id nomen traxisse primam, quod contestantur multi scriptores antiquissimi, ut pote Homerus, Orpheus, Aristippus, Diodorus Siculus, et Strabo. Is igitur Gampar totam [006r] Asiam debellavit exercitu ex Germanis collecto, idque tanta severitate et animi gravitate, ut res ipsa nomini proprio responderet, itaque nomen Kempfer, idest proeliator, vel concertator, et verbum Kempfen id est certare, appellationem a Rege Gampar, quae vox Saxonica est, quae proxime ad nostram accedit linguam, sortita sunt. Merito igitur affirmare audemus, vocem Kempfen, qua nos Germani utimur, vocem inquam Severam ipsa quidem pronunctiatione a Rege nobilissimo ortam. Qui autem pedestrium dimicationum primus omnium fuerit peritus iisque sit usus, addit Aventinus, Herculem Osiridis Regis Aegyptiorum filium ex Iside, in Germaniam dimicationum industriam attulisse dimicationes extitisse illas artificiosas, atque a Lycaone Principe Arcadiae exercitus. Ne autem lector incertus relinquatir atque hac in re ambiguus, intelligat Lycaonem multo post Regem Gampar et Herculem vixisse. |

In the year of the world 1484 before the birth of Christ our saviour, Hercules did hold his duel with Antheus, he did lift him up from the ground by his strength and by embracing his abdomen did strongly crush him and asphyxiate him, as he might not otherwise have won. |

Eusebius[17] writes that Athletes, the first king of the Corinthians, as is also confirmed by the Urspergian abbot,[4] in the year 1088 before the birth of Christ our saviour by his strength and agility did conquer the kingdom of the Cointhians with fencing and duelling, and did reign with good fortune for 35 years. |

Eusebius affirmat pariter attestante in Chronicis Abbate Urspringensi, qui Athletes Rex Corinthiorum Primus, ante Christum natum anno MLXXXVIII, tanta industria animi et virium robore usus sit, ut Athletica et dimicationibus regnum sibi vinducavit, atque idem annos triginta quinque felicissime gubernavit. |

Pyrechmen the duellist did defeat Degmemus Etheus in a duel. Likewise did Pitacus Mitilonaus slay Atheus Phrynoneus in a duel. Hector, a son of king Priamus before Troy did hold a duel and earn a knightly vicotry against Ajax. The Great Alexander did hold an armed duel with Porus the king of India, and defeated him by his agility.[18] |

Likewise did also the royal prophet David honourably defeat the great duellist and giant Goliath. [Lib i. Regnum.] Also Ancheor not without extraordinary agility did lay low Turnus in a duel, and after the Albanians did set their ancestry, glory and reign against the Romans and three strong duellists of Albanian family known as the Cruciati were chosen to duel three Romans with the name of Horace the Horacii on the Roman side with extraordinary agility won the upper hand and slew the Cruciati and thus subjugating all of Italy. Likewise the German who challenged Valerius Corvinus to a duel was slain in a knightly deed. Manlius Torquatus also did kill a German prince in a duel and took off his neck-ring, by this winning great honour for himself and the name of Rome. I will be silent on the duels that were held everywhere in Germany from oldest times. In ancient German writings, kept in Schäbisch Hall, in Kochen[?] and in Würzburg, there are separate duelling rules and many duels were held there. Likewise in Munich on the Iser, Seitz von Althaim and Diepolt Gess in the year 1370 did hold a knightly duel on horseback, in which Seitz von Althaim gained a knightly victory. Likewise in the year 1409, a knightly duel on foot and in linen shirts behind two shields was held in Augsburg on the Lech on the wine-market between Dieterich Hachsenacker and Wigleo Marschalk, in which duel Marschalk did bravely slay Hachsenacker.[19] The duel did have separate laws and statutes in laws, and their ordering and how they should be held is described and clearly set out in city-books everywhere, treatment of which topic, however, in the interest of brevity I will omit here and will describe and explain it elsewhere. |

Deszglaichen hat auch der kuniglich prophet David dem grossen kampffer und risen Goliath eerlich angesiget.Lib i. Regnum. Es hat auch Ancheor dem Turno nicht on sonder geschicklichkait im kamff abgelegen, unnd nachdem die ALbaneser all ir alt herkomen, herrlichkait und regiment an die römer gesetzet, unnd drey starck kempffer des Albanesischen geschlechts Cruciaten genant an drey die römer mit namen Horacii, zu dem kampff erwelet wurden, haben die Horacii auff der römer sitten mit sonderer geschicklichkait, die obhand genomen, die Cruciaten erlegt, und also das gantz Italien dardurch erobert. Es ist auch der Teutsch so den Valerium Corvinum zu dem kampff erfordert, ritterlich erschlagren worden. Manlius Torquatus hat auch ain Teuschen fürsten in dem kampff erlegtt, und im sain halszband abgezogen, damit in und dem gantz römischen namen, grosz eer eingelegt. Ich will geschweigen der kämpff so in Teutschlanden allenthalben vor alten zeitten fürgangen saind. Man findet in alten Teutschen geschrifften, das zu schwäbischn hall an dem Kochen und zu Würtzburg, besondere kampffrecht gehalten, auch vil kämpff alda gehalten worden sind. Deszglaichen hat zu münchen an der Yser, Seitz von Althaim unnd Diepolt Gesz anno .1370. zu rosz ainen ritterlich kampff gehalten, darinnen der Seitz von Althaim ritterlich obgesiget hat. Deszgelaichen hat Dieterich Hachsenacker mit dem Wigluso Marschalck zu Augspurg am Lech anno .1409. an dem Wainmarckt zu fusz in hemmeter hinder zwaien schilten, ritterlich gekempffet, inn welchem kampff der marschalck den hachsenacker tapffer erlegt hat.

Simili ratione et Davit Propheta Regius magnanimum gigante Goliath longe viribus impar prostravit. Nec Anthenor contra Thurnum decernens sine singulari ingenii industria obtinere victoriam potuit. Et postquam Albani suum imperium defendentes, gloriamque pristinam retinere tentantes commississent omnem imperii fortunam tribus fratribus Curiatiis, quis in conspectu utriusque exercitus cum Horatiis itidem tribus fratribus Romanis dimicari iussi, Curiatii cecidere, devicti ab Horatiis Athleticae experientia, et hac ratione totum Latium Romanis cessit. Quid si dicam de Corvino Valierio, qui Gallum singulari monomachia vicit? Tum etiam Manlius Torquatus Gallum procera satura atque ingenti virium robore accidit detracta eius torque, quam collo suo cruentam posthac imposuit. Unde magnam et sibi et populo Romano gloriam peperit. Scriptores antiqui nobis produnt multas et laudabiles dimicationes Halae Suevorum, atque Herbipoli Franconiae esse olim exercitas, et de iis iusta esse Iuditioa facta. Pari conditione Altheimerus contra Theobaldium Giss, anno MCCCLXX dimicatione equestri pugnavit adversus Wigleum Marscalcum Augustae Vindelicorum, anno MCCCIX in foro Vinario induti [007r] tantum indusiis lineis uterque, pedestre certamen ineuntes, in quo Marschalchius contra adversarium victoriam adeptus est, ista quoque certamina in Iure Civili suas leges habent et statuta, tum etiam hodie in annalibus multarum Civitatum reperiuntur eorum ordinationes, quemadmodum exerceri debant, descripta. |

If one would look however towards the usefulness for defense and well-being of this knightly exercise, there are found numerous good examples and testimonies; for whence all the well-rounded, proficient and obedient men-at-arms if not from experience and the maintenance of good order. But who can exert good order in situations of emergency if not those with innate virility who desire to further this same quality by constant courageousness, and those would be the same as can instruct others in manhood, virtue and honesty. If these honest men have a position and influence with high potentates governments of kingdoms, provinces and cities, doubtlessly they will gain many as disciples and students who love and exert virility, so that in a city, not to mention in a province, such persons who are inclined to protect the fatherland, and who will undertake to gain agility to this end by the practice of knightly exercise, will be found in great numbers. So it must most surely follow that the same kingdoms, provinces and cities, even if in their location and fortifications they may not appear strong or firm, but with such inhabitants and citizens inhabited and occupied, will appear and be considered that much more firm, stronger and more militant against the enemy, as is well shown and testified by the following examples and histories. The virility of the Greeks and especially of the Lacedaemonians, citizens of the most famous city of Sparta are very well known to anyone acquainted with history. [Pluta: fol.75.] Furthermore, their knightly virtues before the city of Troy, and in many other places, are evident. Plutarch writes much praise of their manhood in his Aphotegmata[20] and says that these Spartans had the custom that whenever they went to war against their enemies, their kings would always have to go ahead in the foremost rank and be the first to attack the enemy with manly courage, and one of their best knights would, if the king had earlier won a treasure such as a crown or a wreath in a fencing-school, carry this finely adorned in front of him, so as to show that their king was equipped with a spirit of manhood, and they would have other expert and honest warriors with them. For this they would contest all the more manfully and artfully for the treasures in the fencing-schools, in order to gain much honour and be placed next to the king in war and with honest praise and courage would move against the enemy in the front of the army. They did also disdain the best positions, such as fortifications, walls and trenches, and against these did much praise knightly manhood. Agis, the second king of the Lacedaemonians, as at one time he moved on the city of Corinth, saw that this same city was surrounded by strong, long walls and fortifications, and he said, alas, who are these women that have taken and occupy the fortified place, as if he would say that honest and doughty men should not have any regard for such strong fortification but in need should praise the courage of the heart and the honesty of the mind and the prowess of the fist and prefer them over all fortification. By such honesty this king Agis did honourably reign over the realm of the Spartans for fifty years and left it behind in good stability. [Apopht. fol.17.] Agesilaus the sixth king of the Spartans was at one time asked why the city of Sparta was not protected and so ill equipped with walls and fortifications. To this the king answered and said, see these armed citizens, well-exercised in all knightly sports: these are the fortification and walls of the city of Sparta, by which he meant that virility is to be praised above all fortifications. This king Agesilaus did also reign over and preserve the realm of the Spartans for 44 years. |

Si velimus huius artis et exercitii honestissimi commodi, et dignitatem animo recte perpendere, multa et varia testimonia eorum, atque exempla nobis ubique occurrent. Unde .n. milites habiles ad quamvis certamina subeunda, et strenui prodeunt, nisi ab ipsa Athletica edocti? Quis autem in neccessitatibus istarum rerum pulcherrimum ordinem servare potest, nisi is ipse, qui ingenua virtus et fortitudo, tum Athleticae studium sinte insita? Ii denique animi sui constantia ea promovere cupiunt. Tum vero ii erunt, qui alios sua virtute, integritateque praecellentes instruere poterunt. Quandoquidem autem viri eiusmodi fortes et strenui suis virtutibus sibi palaestras aquisiverint ad Regibus, Principibus, et rerum publicarum administratoribus placide atque benevole concessas immo ii etiam Athletis ea loca ultro obtulerint, facile inde colligere possumus qui ii ipsi huius artis discendae gratia sese discipulos exhibuerunt, eamque postea exercuerint. Cum igitur multi in Civitatibus, tantum abest, ut dicam regnis reperti fuerint ad patriam tuendam propensi variis virtutibus praediti, quae ex hoc honestissimo exercitio profluere videntur, certo sequi necesse est, etiam si ea regna, principatus, urbesque moenium propugnaculis et tutela non admodum munita esse visa sint, tamen strenuis et fortibus viris inhabitata cum fuerint longe mumintora apparuerunt, quam si vallis fossisque profundis fuissent circundata: quod quidem mox in sequentibus declarabitur. Virtus Graecorum, et praecipue Lacedaemoniorum, Spartaeque, Civium ex multis scriptoribus cognita est, tum autem vel maxime in bello Troiano apparuit. Multa praeclara facta ipsorum Plutarchis alicubi commemorat, et ait Consuetudinem eam Lacedaemonios habuisse, contra hostes egressos, regem ipsorum semper in prima acie constitisse, et hostem [007v] primum animo forti fuisse adgressum, et addit, quod coronam vel brabeum quod Res in palaestra ex victoria esset adeptus, quispiam ex viris eius strenuissimis decenter praetulerit in ipsius Regis conspectu. Quod erat certum inditium virtulum regiarum, tum etiam qui essent reges viris fortibus in bellis stipati. Quapropter ipsorum ingentia excitabantur ad Athleticam omni virtute strenuemque subeundam, acriterque pugnabant, quo coronam huiusmodi vel brabeum inde auferrent, et aliis digniores haberentur, proximeque regem in proelium contra hostem procedentem consistere liceret, fossis, vallis, ceterisque irbium munitionibus virtutem suam anteponere maluerunt, quod ex hoc liquet dict: Agis secundus Lacedaemoniorum Rexu cum Corinthiorum muros aliquando praeteriret, illosque altos, et vallis munitos atque in multum spatium protensos conspiceret, quae nam, inquit, sunt hunc locum habitantes mulieres? Innuens fortes viros his munitionibus minime egere, sed potius opus esse virtute. Is igitur Agis fertur quinquaginta annos felicissime regnasse, et regnum stabile posteris reliquisse. Ceterum Agesilaus Spartanorum Rex, cuidam percontanti, quam ob causam Sparta non congeretur moenibus et vallis, quo munitior esset adversus hostem, ostendit Cives armatos, hi, inquiens, sunt Spartanae Civitatis moenia, significans respublicas nullo munimento tutiores esse quam virtute civium: atque is annis quadraginta quattuor felicissime regnum obtinuit. |

Herodotus writes in his seventh book, Polymnia, how Xerxes, the king of the Persians [and] Medes, out of presumption and prompted by an exiled Greek named Demarathus did incite a handsome great war on water and on land against the Greeks. But when king Xerxes with his people reached the borders of the Greeks at a pass called the Thermopyle, he ordered the most renowned and strongest men and captains of the Persians in great number to take that same place as an entrance to the land of Greece. Before that, the Greeks had occupied that place with three hundred Spartan citizens who according to their custom had with them their king Leonidas, and they did wait there with all avidity of denying the enemy entry and held good and careful watch with all knightly experience and preparation against the Persians. As the Persians arrived at this said place, they found such a warlike and manly opposition on the part of the Greek garrison that they required many numerous attacks and attempts, and they lost a notable number, namely up to 20,000 among whom two kings, three princes and many of the Persian nobility from the legion known as the immortals along with their best warriors. As the king perceived his misfortune, he cried with a loud voice, O Jupiter, I have been deceived in this, that I led on such a long campaign all too many but only little well-exercised soldiers, as if he would say, conquest and victory does not depend on the amount and number of the army, but on the knightly virility of the warriors. And he did suffer such great damage from these three-hundred men at the said place, that he did many times rue the war which he had ventured against the Greeks, and it did often cause him to sigh. And in many months he did not succeed in taking this place, not with all his army, until at the last he turned his mind to treason. Only then did a shepherd, whom he had coaxed with much cost and promise, communicate to him a secret and unknown path down from the mountains, by which path and by treason the honest Spartans were surrounded from both sides with much might and great number of men so that all of them, after long and honest defense, were slain by the Persians, even to the last man (as none of them would have been parted from their king). And as the pass had been taken, king Xerxes and a number of his captains came on the battlefield and out of curiosity wanted to inspect the Spartans, and found them lying on their bellies, and not their backs, and their faces were hewn most grievously, he did praise them most fittingly, even though they were his enemies, saying, O how blessed is this land that generates many such exercised honest men. And inquiring after the occupation and disport favoured by such men, he was answered that they were never idle and of great frugality. Inquiring further for what reward they would do such, the Arcadians replied that they would ever exercise themselves in fencing-schools and duelling-spaces, on horseback and on foot, and those who excelled there would be honoured by a wreath made from oil-palm, which among them was held as the highest praise. [Herodo: fol:224.] As the king heard this, he turned to his captains and said, O Demarathe Demarathe (i.e. the name of the man who instigated him to wage war against the Greeks), against what manner of men did you incite us to make war, such as do not perform and exercise their duels and knightly sport for gain or payment but for manly honour and virtue, and he did much deplore that he had proposed to war with such honest men. And after many battles he fought against them, at sea and on land, he must retreat and pull out of the land of Greece nothing achieved, and with great loss of men and in disgrace.[21] Of these and comparable deeds of honour that have their origin and source in the knightly exercises, as have occurred both among the Greeks and the Romans, there would be much more to tell. But it would seem to me to become over-much and so as to not displease the reader I will forbear. |

Herodotus schreibet in seinem sibenden Buch Polymnia, wie das Xerxes der künig der persier medier, aus anmassung und anraitzung eines vertibnen Griechens Demarathus genant, ainen treffenlichen grossen krieg, mit ainer gar hohen antzal volcks zu rosz und fusz, als zuvor kaum erhört worden, auf wasser und zu land, wider die Griechen gefüeret hab, als aber der künig Xerxes die Grentzen der Griechen an ainer clausen Termopilen genant, mit seinem volck erlangt hatt, verordnet er die namhafftigsten und stercksten männer und haubtleut der persier mit grosser anzal dasselb ort, zu ainem eingang des lands Grecie zu erobern. Es hetten aber disz ort die Griechen mit dreihundert spartanischen bürgern zuvor besetzet, welche irer gewonhait nach, iren künig Leonides zu sich genomen, und also auf den faind mit allen begirden, im den eingang zuwheren, alda wartende, unnd darneben gutte wach und achtung mit aller riterlichen übung und anschlag auf die persier hetten. Als aber die persier an disz bemelt ort komen, haben sie so ainen ernstlichen und manlichen widerstand on der Griechischen besatzung befunden, das sie etlich und vil stürm und anlauff, unnd auch ain merckliche antzal, nemlich bis in zwantzigtausent darunder zwen kunig, drei fürsten unnd seer vil von dem persischen adel aus der legion der untödtlichen genant, sambt der bestenn kriegszleut darvon verloren haben. In dem der kunig seines unglücks wargenomen, unnd mit lautter stimme geschrien, O Jupiter, ich bin in dem betrogen worden, das ich gar zuvil, aber wenig guts geübter kriegsfolck, mit mir so ainen weitten weg auszgefüert hab, als wolt er [010*r] sagen, es ligt der sig unnd victori, nicht an der menge und antzal des volcks, sonder an der ritterlichen manhait der krieger. Er hatt auch ainen aolchen grossen schaden von disen dreihundert personen an bemeltem ort erlitten, das in der krieg, den er wider die Greichen fürgenommen, zu vilmalen gerauen, und offtermalen daruber ersüfftzet hat. Zudem hat er disz ort in ettlich monaten, mitt allem sainem volck nicht genemen mugen, bis er zuletst sain gemmüt auff die verräterey begeben hat. Dann im ist durch ainen hirten, den er mit reichlichen unkosten und verhaissung überredz, ain haimlichen und unbekanten weg, von oben an dem gepürg herab, verkündtschafft worden, durch welchen weg und verräterey, die redlichen spartaner, hinden und vornen, mit grossem gewaltt und hoher antzal volcks umbringt und umbgeben worden sind, das sie alle, nach langer redlicher wher, bis auff den letsten mann (.dann kainer von irem künig hat weichen wollen.) von den persiern erschlagen worden sain. Und wie die Clausen erobert, und künig Xerxes it etlichen seiner haubtleut auf die walstat komen, und zu ainem verwunderen die spartaner hat sehen wollen, hatt er sie auff den beuchen, und nicht auf dem ruggen funden ligen, und das ire angesichter jämerlich zerhauen gewesen, ersehen, hatt er sie, weiwol seine faind, trefflich seer gelobt, und gesagt, O wie selig ist disz land, das diser geübten redlich leutt vil erzeucht, unnd darauff befragt, was doch solche leut für handtierung und kurtzweil triben, ist im geantwort worden, das sie nimmer müessig, und grosser abstinentz weren. Darauf er wider gefragt, was doch ir belonung darumb sey, ist im zuantwort durch die Arcadier gefallen das sie stets in den fechtschulen und auf den kampfplätzen, zu rosz und fusz sich übten, und welcher das best darinnen hette, der der würde dann mit ainem krantz aus ölpaumen gemacht vereert, des bey iren das höchst lob were. Herodo: fol:224. Als solches der künig gehört, hat er abermalen sich zu seinen kaubtleutten gewendet, und gesagt, O Demarathe Demarathe (.wer maind den, welcher in wider die Griechen zu kriegen angesetzt hatte.) auff was männer hast du uns angeraitzt zu kriegen, die nicht umb gut oder gelt sonder umb manliche Eer unnd tugend, ire kämpff und ritterspil treiben und üben, und hat sich hoch beclagt, das er sich wider solche redliche leut zu bekriegen auffgelainet hette. Er hat auch nach vilen schlachten, zu wasser unnd land mit inen gethan, ongeschafft allerding, mit grossem verlust seines volcks, ja auch mit schaden widerumb aus dem land Grecia wich und ziehen müessen /. Diser und dergleichen eerlichen thaten, so aus der ritterlichen übung D: entsprungen und hergeflossen, weren noch vil, baides bei den Griechen und Römern fürgangen und beschehen, zuerzelen. Es will mir sein aber zuvil werden, unnd derhalben auff das der leser nicht verdrossz werde, solches underlassen. |
Testatur Herodotus libro septimo, quod Xerxes Persarum et Medorum Rex instinctu suasuque, cuiusdam Graeci Demarathi exulis, contra Grecos infinitum exercitum equestrem, atque ingentes et in auditas copias pedestres duxerit, quibus terra marique bellum inferret. Atque rex cum regiones Graeciae iuxta Thermopylarum angustias cum exercitu numerosissimo adprehendisset, fortissimos quosque sui exercitus ducet praeparabat ad eas angustias quasi aditum in Graecia primum occupandas. Verum Graeci cum lucum prius Civibus Spartanis tercentis munierant, qui more suo antiquo regem suum Leonidem sibi adiunxerant, cupide magnoque cum desiderio, hostis adventum expectantes, ut eum aditu arcerent: Pariter autem magnam excubiarum curam [008r] agentes adhibitis interim militaribus exercitiis, ne opinantes ab hoste opprimerentur. Cum autem Persae ad angustias supra commemoratas pervenissent, praesidium Graecorum tanta virtute illis restitit, ut omnis hostium impetus, atque oppugnationes frustra assumptae iuderentur, quin etiam eo ipso proelio hostium Viginiti milia cecidere inter quos duo reges, principes tres, et nobilium optimum quique occubuerunt. Postquam Xerxes calamitatem istam animadvertisset, O magne Iuppiter, inquit, quanta de spe decidi, quantumque sum deceptus, qui tantum exercitum, sed fere imbellem mecum adduxerim ,atque tam procul in terras alienas, significans victoriam non in quantitate exercitus consistere, et ab ea pendere, verum ex militum virtute profluere, tantam insuper iactura Rex militum suorum in loco praedicto fecit, et tantum diminutus est, ut saepius eum suscepti contra Graecos belli poenituerit, necnon crebro Xercem ingemuisse ferunt tanta calamitate norum, neque vero, Thermopylas unquam occupare potuit omni excercitu admoto, donec animum ad proditionem adiiceret. Pastor. N. quispiam quem pecunia corruperat atque promissionibus induxerat, occultum callem per rupes aliis ignotum monstravit, per eum strenui Spartani undique a fronte et tergo circumventi ab hostibus, postquam a rege atque a se invicem divelli acerrime dimicantes non potuissent, occumbere maluerunt, quam turpiter terga dare. Cum igitur angustiae essent ab hostibus superatae, et rex quibusdam cum ducibus sui excercitus ad locum ubi clades tanta facta esset, pervenisset, Spartanos tantae virtutis viros videre cupiens, omnes pronos, et minime supinos deiectos reperit ventribus nimirum recumbentes, atque adversis vulneribus mirum in modum saucios, et confossos, misere itaque concisos Xerxes cum vidisset, et si hostes fuerant, tamen ipsorum virtutem collaudavit, dicens, beatissimam eam terram esse, quae tantos viros procrearet, et eos quidem quamplurimos. Percontanti deinde, quae nam exercitia haberent, responsum est eos numquem esse ociosos, sed semper olympia agere, et certamina Gymnica, eaque equestria inire. Ceterum cu mrursus interrogasset quodnam praemium esset propositum, propter quod certarent, oleaginam coronam Arcades inquirunt, ibi Rex ad duces suos conversis, inquit, qui non pecuniarum agitent certamen, sed virtutis? Neque fere unque contra eos pugnavit, quin acerrime Graecorum virtute pelleretur: atque post multa proelia comissa cum ingenti [008v] sui exercitus detrimento demum turpissime fuga salutem quaerere coactus est, huius rei exempla plurima et apud Graecus et Romanos, historiograhi nobis demonstrant. |

Cornelius Tacitus among the ancients, and Johannes Aventinus among the moderns in my opinion did most clearly elaborate and describe the character and quality of the ancient Germans and Romans, the way they were fostered in their youth and exercised the knightly sport, in which descriptions may be clearly seen how the ancient Germans from their early youth were educated in all knightly exercise.[22] |

Cornelius Tacitus ex Antiquis, et Ioannes Aventinus ex neotericis, meo quidem iuditio Germanorum antiquissimorum, atque Romanorum ingenium inclinationem et exercitia diligentissime descripsisse mihi videntur, in quibus verissime cognoscitur, qui veteres Germani in disciplinis militaribus et exercitiis Athleticis fuerint educti. |

No wine at all did they cultivate, and neither did they import any. Their garments were cut close to the body and very tight. They did not allow any peddler to bring them any foreign jewelry, gems or garments. Their weapons were swords, battle-axe, bladed spear and short and narrow blades they called frimmen, i.e. rapiers or daggers. No helmets or iron hats did they at first have, but shields, targes and pavises[23] behind which they would bravely disrobe, and which they finely adorned with colours, from whence originate the heraldic coats of arms. Thrown darts and shooting-arrows, and javelins did they also use, but no youth might carry a side-arm unless his neighbors first did testify him to be an honest man fit for the army. Such testimony would he who would carry arms need to present at the following assembly and diet. Then the authorities or his closest friends would gird him with his weapon and on his neck hang a shield, congratulate him, and henceforth he would be declared [a free man] of his province. In warfare and battle they had this custom, that they would take with them their wives and children, even those still in the cradle, and they must prepare and serve food and drink for the men, oil, try, bandage and treat their wounds and they then showed their wounds to their mothers and wives, who felt no abhorrence therefrom, but gave much praise for them. And when they fought a battle against their enemies, the wives and children must keep nearby, so that the men could hear the weeping of their little children, and the wives would shout and admonish their men to be brave and keen and not to flee, fighting not just for their country and people but also for their wives and children. This did often contribute to their victory, as Tacitus reports. For this reason they conducted their marriage according to the following manner. None could take a wife other than he was of grown age, and likewise the virgins must be of proper age, resulting in great, tall, strong people, and as they were joined, they practiced the custom that the wife would bring no dowry to the man, neither money nor property, but for a sword, which she gave to him for the purpose that he must use it to protect her, her children, and the fatherland. The man on the other hand must have a certain property, which however did not include money, or silken garment or clothes, with which he might adorn and bedeck the bride, but he must own two heads of cattle and an ox, joined in a yoke, a saddled horse a pavise or shield, a hewing-knife and a thrusting-spear. If he had these, the bride was given in his hand. This was all her marriage-portion, dowry, morning-gift, wreath and ring, hand-fasting and wedding-feast, church-going and consecration. The closest friends would inspect all the mentioned pieces, and if they were good, they were satisfied and wished them happiness and fertility in birth, and they were joined in that hour and the marriage was concluded. But the significance and meaning of these pieces was that just as the cattle under the yoke the couple must never part, in joy or sorrow, in war or otherwise, but they must live and lie together, journey and travel, and keenly dare all things, which was signified by the saddled horse. Also, the sword, shield, knife and spear must be kept by the wife in the event of the man's death, so that she might pass to her sons and children their father's marriage-portion at the proper time, and it would be kept and passed on even to the third generation. |

Gar kainen wein haben sie bey inen wachsen, unnd auch kainen zu inen fieren lassen. Ire [010*v] Claider sind vast dem leib nach geschnitten, und gar eng gemacht worden. Sie haben auch kainen kauffman frembder gezierd, clainat oder claidung zu inen zufieren, gar nit gestattet. Ire gewheren seind schwerter, mordagst, blatspis, und schmale kurtze eisen, die sie frimmen, das seind stoszdegen und Tolchen bey inen gewesen, kaine helm oder Eisenhuet haben sie anfenglich gehabt, aber schiltlinn, tartschen und Gafelen, darhinder sie sich tapffer enthuelten, und dieselben fain mit farben geziert, daher die schilt und wappen herkomen. Pfeil zu dem werffen und schiessz auch scheflin haben sie auch gebraucht. Es hat aber kain junger gesell kain seittenwher an im tragen dürffen, er habe dann von seinen nachbauren, das er ein redlicher mann, und tauglich zu der wher were, gutte zeugknus zuvor gebracht. Solche zeugknus muste diser, so die gewhere tragen wolt, auff der nechsten vesamlung und landsztag fürbringen, alszdann gurtet ime die Oberkait, oder nechste freund, die wher umb, und hengen im ain schilt an den halsz, wünschen im glück, alszdann ward er auch ainer von der landschafft ernent. Inn dem krieg und streit, hielten sie disen gebrauch, das sie ire weib und kinder, und ob der schon in der wieg lagen, mit sich füerten, die musten den mannen kochen, das essen und trincken zutragen, die wunden ölen, truchnen, binden, hailen, unnd zaigten dann iren müettern und weibern ire wunden, darab sie gar kainen grausen hetten, sonder sie vast darumb lobten. Unnd wann sie ain schlacht hielten, mit den fainden, so musten die weib und kinder nicht weit von inen halten, auf das die mann die jung und claine kinder hörten wainen, alszdann schreien und ermaneten die weiber die männer, das sie tapffer und keck, nicht allain für land und leut, sonder auch für ire weib und kinder stritten, und nicht fliehen solten. Welches offtermalen, als Tacitus meldet, zu dem sig dienstlich gewesen sein soll. Von dessen wegen sie ihre heirat nachvolgender mainung beschlossen haben. Kainer hat ain weib dürffen nemen, er haben dann ain volkomen alter auff im, deszgelaichen musten die jungkfrawen auch in guttem alter sein, welche dann grosz lang starck leut geben hat und wann man sie zusamen gab, so schulten sie den gebrauch, das des weib dem mann gar nichts, weder von gelt oder gut, zu heiratgut zubracht, oder gab, anders dann ain schwert, das sie im gab zu ainer antaignung, das er sie, ire kinder, und das vatterland, damit beschützen solt. Der mann aber muste haben etliche stücl, das aber nicht gelt, seiden gewand oder klaider waren, damit er die praut hett mugen schmücken und zieren, sonder es musten sain zway rinder und ein ochs in ain joch zusamen gespannet, ain gesatlet pfert, ain gafesen oder schilt, ain messer unnd ain alspiesz. Mit disem gab man im die braut an die hand. Disz alles was ir hairatgut, haimsteuer, morgengab, krantz unnd mäschring, stulfestin und hochzeit, kirchgang unnd ainsegnen. Die nechsten freund besichtigten auch alle vorbemelte stück, unnd wann sie gut waren, hetten sie ain gefallen darab, und wünschten inen vil glück und fruchtbarkait der geburt, und wurden von stund an zusamen gelegt, unnd der hairat hiemit beschlossen. Sie haben aber hiemit disen stücken antzaigen, mainen, nnd bedeutten wollen, nemlich das sie, wie die zusamen gespanten rind, ainander lebenlang, und in lieb noch laid, in kriegen oder sonst, nimmermer verlassen solten, sonder mitainander leben und ligen, ziehen und raisen, unnd alles kecklich wagen, welchs das gesatlet pferd bedeuttet hatt. Es musten auch solche zugebrachten schwert, schilt, messer und spiesz, nach absterbenn des mans, von dem waib behalten werden, auff das iren sunen und kinder, soch ires vatters hairatgut, zu sainer zeit auch zugestelt wurde, unnd also bis in das dritt gelid auszgetailt und behalten werden. |
Nullas vineas plantarunt, neque ad se vina advehi aliunde passi sunt, vestitu usi non fluitante sicut Sarmathae et Parthi, sed scricta et singulos artus constringente, Nullos mercatores ad se commerare, ne importarent ea, quae ad effeminandos animos pertinerent, Arma ipsorum, fuere enses, secures letales, pugionesque, ab initio Galeis caruerunt, et Casside, verum usi sunt clypeis, peltis et scutis, quibus hosti [009r] ibiectis latere tuti poterant, ea autem coloribus variis condecorabant, unde imagines Nobilium originem ducunt. Item telis ad elaculandum aptis, tum etiam hastilibus ferro acuto. Verum adolescentes nullo ense accingi audebant, nisi vicinus quispiam testimonium perhibuisset eum esse strenuum et ad arma gerenda habilem, utque idoneum ea igitur testimonia ii, qui gerere ensem volebat in conventu atque comitiis quae agebantur exhibere coram cogebantur, et tum si adprobassent principes conventus in ipso concilio vel principum aliquis, vel pater, vel propinquus scuto, frameaque iuvenem ornabant, atque eam rem feliciter evenire exoptabant, et tum primum nomen sortiebantur, ut nominarentur approbati milites. In bello atque proeliis ea consuetudine usi sunt, ut secum uxores liberosque educerent, etiamsi essent in cunabulis, eae maritis cibos et hortamina pugnantibus gestabant, oleo vulnera mittigabant obligabatn atque sanabant. Nec illae numerare aut exugere plagas ullo modo horrebant, quantumvis essent martiali vinculo coniugate, imo ob virtutem eos laudabant. Et cum ferro in proeliis decernerent cum hostibus, uxores et liberi non longe a conflictu aberant, ut cum mariti liberos suos parvulos et vagientes plorantes audirent, uxores adhortabantur maritos, ut fortiter et strenue adversus hostem, non tantum patriae tuendae causa, verum etiam sua liberorumque pugnarent, et ne unquam committerent ut in fugam ab hostibus verterentur: quid quidem Tacito teste, ipsis saepissime magnae utilitati fuit, iis exhortationibus moti victoriam non raro obinuere. Inde etiam observatum est, ut nullus eorum uxorem ducere fuerit ausus, nisi aetate aliquantum esset provecta: idem et virgines servare cogebantur, quod certe eo cessit, ut fortes et proceri homines nascerentur, ut Leones a leonibus, ab Aquilis aquilae, non imbelles columbae. Quando autem matrimonia essent contracta, virgo nullam aliam ad sponsum dotem afferebat, quam ensem, ea re significans, ut maritus se, liberos, aque patriam eo tueretur. Pari ratione et maritus quendam [009v] sponsae offerebat, non divitias, neque vestes preciosas, quibus nova nupta comaretur, sed binas boves et taurum eodem iugo iunctos, item ecuum frenatum, scutum cum framea atque gladio, in haec itaque munera uxor accipiebatur, et haec erant sponsali, nuptiae et annuli. Propinqui insuper praedictas dotes mutuo conspiciebant, et si probatas cognovissent, matrimonium feliciter evenire iis optabant, et partus felices, post autem curabant ut quam primum coniungerentur thalamo. Itaque mulier, ne se extra virtutum cogitationes extraque bellorum casus putet ipsis incipientis. Matrimonii auspiciis admonetur, venire se laborum, periculorumque sociam, idem in pace idem im proelio passuram ausuramque nec unquam velle distrahi, sed potius omnia pari forte periclitari atque fortunam in cunctis malis sustinere, quod quidem equus sellatus designabat et iuncti boves. Insuper arma mariti scilicet dotes post obitum ipsius, uxor cogebatur reservare, ut posteris marentis sui dotes, quas uxori attulisset, itidem dari posset. |

At their high festivals they had this disport, that when the old were gathered together, the young must perform a sword-dance, and dance artfully over the naked swords, and those who were best at this were doing very well. They also had the custom that when any of them killed an enemy who was a great lord, they would cut off his head and fit his cranium in silver or gold depending on their wealth, and on feast days they would drink from it, and would let their children and nobody else drink from it, unless they had testimony that he was a man capable of military service and had in warfare put one or several men from life to death. Such a one, and nobody else, might drink from the honour-vessel. Not any peddlers did they allow to come to them to bring them foreign clothing or gems or other jewelry, and they never abandoned their manner of costume, never allowing the wearing of foreign styles, and with these habits did the Germans first originate, and they held to them so stoutly and bravely that by their manly honesty they harried and warred and inhabited and built fortresses in nearly all countries, such as Spain, France, Italy, Greece, Asia and Africa, and for several hundred years they did much damage to the Romans with their knightly exercise and warfare, and fought battles with them in many places, now winning, now losing, and eventually pushed them out of German lands altogether, until at last Julius the first emperor for seven years waged war and finally conquered the parts now known as France, but which at the time (as Aventius writes) was German, so that the river Rhine became a boundary of the Roman empire. Also the warrior women called by the Latins the Amazones had their origin with the Germans, which took the land of Scythia with a great host and dwelt there for a long time, and from there made war on other countries. Under the reign of their queen Pentesilea, these were held in great honour at Troy in the war against the Greeks, in all knightly armour on horse and on foot. So this is now a brief summary of the traditions and laws of our ancient Germans, such as were proscribed and set down by their king Tuisto the grandson of Noah and by their king Herman.[24] From the above, kind fencer and reader, you may deduce to what extent this hard knightly exercise, kept so firmly by our ancient Germans, gave to Germany great liberty, honour and everlasting praise, and if things were still the same (concerning knightly and manly exercise) in German lands, and the knightly exercise were still held in such esteem, if vices such as usury, games, excessive eating and drinking, blaspheming, and disdain of all good arts besides other frivolity would be avoided and punished, what great profit, praise and honour for all of Germany would arise from this still in the present day. But instead all vices have taken such a terrible hold, primarily at the princely courts but also in cities and villages, that the abuses have grown to the point that aberration and lack of virtue out of old and evil habit are now adhered to as if it were a law, which is evident and in plain daylight so that anyone can see the pitiful state of affairs. |

Sie hatten auch den gebrauch, wann einer seinen feind, der ein grosser herr gewesen, in dem krieg erlegt hette, das sie im sein haubt abschlugen und sein hirnschal in silber oder gold nach jedes vermögen einfaszen, und an den festtägen daraus truncken, und liessend auch ire kinder, und sonst niemand daraus trincken, er hette dann zuvor zeugknus, das er ein taugenlicher mann zu der gewher were, und im krieg einen oder mer vom leben zu dem tod gebracht hette. Diser , und sonst keiner, darf aus disem Eergeschirr trincken. Gar keinen kaufman haben sie zu inen komen lassen, der inen frembde kleidung oder kirsenwerck, clainaten und andere getzierd zufieren wollen, saind auch aus ir manier der klaidung nie kommen, haben kain frembde zugebrauchen nicht gestattet, mit diser gewonhait seind die Teutschen anfangklich herkomen, und haben sich dermassen, so vest und tapffer darinnen gehalten, das sie durch ir mannliche redlichkeit gar nahe alle land, als Hispanien, Franckreich, Italien, Grecien, Asien unnd Aphrica,, durchzogen, bekrieft, bewont, und verste stett darinnen gebaut haben, unnd den Römern durch ettliche hundert jar, grossen abpruch mit irer ritterlichen übung und streitten bewisen, an mer orten wol schachte mit inen gehalten, jetz ob, dann unden gelegen, und zuletst aus Teutschen landen gar vertriben bis zuletst Julius der erst kaiser, das tail so jetzt franckreich genant wirt, aber zu der zeit (.wie Aventinus schreibt.)

Es haben auch die kriegsweiber so die Lateiner Amazones nennen, iren ursprung von den Teutschen, die mit grossem hauffen das land Scithia eingenomen unnd lange zeit darinnen gewont, und andere länder daraus bekriegt haben. Sie seind auch under irer künigin Pentesilla vor Troia, im streitt wider die Griechen, in allen ritterlichen rüstungen zu rosz und fusz, mit grossen eeren gesehen worden.

Diebus solennibus his exercitiis dediti erant cum seniores convenissent, opportebat iuniores super strictis ensibus choros ducere laetos, et qui ceteros ea in re praecelleret, is palmam auferebat, etiam id Germanis in usu erat, si quis hostem qui fuerat nobili stirpe progenitus, in bello monomachia superasset et eius caput praecidisset, cranium auro vel argento iuxta cuiusque facultates occuparet, atque diebus festis ex iis poculis biberet, neque vero ullos homines, praeter liberos ex iis bibere admittebat, aut si quis testimonia haberet se esse habilem ad arma gerenda, et in bello unum atque alterum ex hostibus superasset. His igitur exercitiis consuetudine atque virtute usi prope omnes terras, ut pote Hispanias, Gallias, Italiam, Graeciam Asiam et Africam peragrarunt, debellarunt, inhabitarunt, et urbes munitissimas in iis terris condidere. Romanos multis annis virtute antecesserunt, in multis locis cum iis conflixerunt, quibus proeliis iam victoriam contra hostes [010r] obtinebant, iam vero vincebant. Tandem vero Germania pulsi, dispergebantur ad id usque tepus donec Iulius primus Romanorum Imperator, Gallos qui tunc temporis teste Aventino erant Germani, septennali bello continuo persequutus in suam potestatem redegit et Rheni tractum Romani Imperii terminum constituit. Ferunt itidem Amazonas in bello Troiano contra Graecos sub Regina Pentesilea acerrime pugnasse certamine equestri simul et pedestri. Et haec fuere, quae migi scribenda constitui de origine, legibus, et consuetudinibus Germanorum quas ipsis Tuiscon Nohae nepos, atque Hermannus Germaniae Reges tradiderunt. Ex his omnibus (optime lector) colligere poteris, quantam ipsorum virtus et exercitia Gymnica necnon equestria, gloriam atque libertatem peperint: et si ista tam honesta exercitia adhuc nostro seculo pullularent, in flore essent, plurisque aestimarentur, vitiis qui in viertutum locum successere ut sunt, avaritia, aleae, potationes, Gula, ignavia, bonarum artium contemptus, levitas animi, et multis huiusmodi e medio sublatis, quantam gloriam quantas denique Germani utilitates inde sibi parere hodierno die possent? Omnis generis vitia adeo in aulis Principum, oppidis et vicis invaluerunt, ut iam prope pro consuetudine et lege serventur. |

Our ancient and pious Germans for a long time did not allow any foreign peddler to bring them foreign clothing and costly armour. Much less did they allow the manufacture or use of such among them, indeed they would have been ashamed to be seen straying from their German knightly character and custom. The Spartans slew one of their warriors for the only reason that he had somewhat changed his costume and had decorated his shield with purple silk, so much did foreign finery appall them. Charles, the first of this name, known as the Great, who was properly a native German, and who first brought the rule of the Roman Empire to the Germans, was in the habit of always using the old German costume and none other for as long as he lived. Not more than on three instances, and this only to please the pope, did he don a Latin long mantle and broad slippers, which he later did often rue. Many of his princes and rich noblemen in the Italian wars had bought many costly ornaments and foreign garments. But as they put them on for a high festival and the emperor spotted them, he chided them loudly in front of all the people, mocked them and said, wherefore, wherefore you free Swabians and Franks, how you have utterly perverted yourselves and changed the German character and manner with foreign costume. Are you not now wearing on your bodies the clothing of those on whom you earlier so valiantly made war and forced to submit to you? What, would you also pervert your courage in like manner? Fie for the shame that you would put an everlasting blame on the German name, which is frightful to all other nations, with this transformation of yours. Look at yourself, how you are clothed. While your emperor, making allowance for the necessity of nature may cover himself. Why do you spend your gold and silver so as to corrupt your fathers for such shameful goods and clothing? Or do you no longer want to be free, but slaves like your enemies, whose clothes you are wearing? He then forced the same princes and noblemen to join him in assiduous hunting, both in summer and wintertime, and they must keep wearing the above described adornment and clothing, and he led them through great hedges and bushwork. After the hunt, he sat beside them at the fire, and their foreign clothing was torn by the branches, and the remaining tatters were singed and burned by the fire, such that they no longer offered protection. But the clothing of the pious emperor, which was a wolf's pelt, remained whole and fresh, and he mocked them greatly for what costly but useless clothes they had bought for a high price. This pious emperor Charles with his keen and firm courage and great heart did appear so frightening to all nations that all pagan kings feared him. The kings of Asia, Persia and Africa sent him messages and honoured him with gifts, and so much he attained with them that for him the Egyptian king did freely offer all of Jerusalem, along with the tomb of Christ, cleared of all pagans, to the Christians, just so he would keep him as a friend in his coalition. As he received the foreign messages he would always have his imperial sword on his side, plated with gold and hung on a golden knight's belt, and keep his hand on its pommel, so as to present his virility in this way. But how the clothing and armour of the ancients compare with the modern clothing of our time, is most easy to describe, as just within living memory they have undergone manifold changes, and still in the present day it is the custom that he who would just invent much novelty is held dear by the lords, so that it happens that manhood was changed to lust and vanity, and the praise of the Germans is failing, may that God would mend this. In what way however our Germans of these days follow and keep to the ancient Germans with regard to wine-drinking, games and exercise of knightly sport, their marriage and their meals, much could be written on this, as regrettably these things, when compared would present a very strange and awkward relation. The old, when they sat at their meals and symposia with their friends of high or low birth, would tell about the honest deeds of their ancestors, which was heard by the young, who took to heart to have desire and love towards the knightly art of fencing from which the most chivalrous gain praise. This with artful assiduity they exercised, and vices such as drinking, gambling, lust of women, vanity of clothing, they did forego. [Apoph: fol.721.] Plutarch writes in his Apophtegmata that king Antigonus once asked the philosopher Menedemus if he should go drinking with a number of good fellows of his. Menedemus replied with a single phrase and said, ah, he is a king's son, by which he would indicate that the habit of wine-drinking does ill befit kings, princes and others of superior rank, meaning that there is other exercise and practice than drinking, to which to apply themselves would be more praisworthy and more profitable for them. [Apoph: fol.312.] Likewise with Alexander the Great in his youth, at one time after he had been drinking wine and came back home to court, and his father Philip was told that his son Alexander had been drinking wine and had been singing very well, king Philipp was much displeased and chided him with these words, saying, are you not ashamed of yourself that you are so apt in drinking and singing, as if he would say, are you not a king's son, why are you dealing with such disdainful practice, are you proposing to support your kingdom by such frivolity after my death, or do you have such modest and childlike neighbours in the cities of Athens, Corinth, Argis, Corcica and others, so turn your mind to knightly arts, which serve for the development of your realm, honour and prosperity. At this instruction and scolding Alexander was so dismayed that he fast dedicated himself to knightly exercises, for which he gained later reward on many duelling-fields, and finally culminated in this, that within twelve years he subjugated and conquered the entire world with his knightly disposition. And truly, as I see it, if such knightly exercise according to the ancient manner and custom, in place of frivolous exercise, which over time have become so ubiquitous not just at royal or princely courts but also in the cities and everywhere and have displaced the exercise of good virtue, should again become well-established with both high and lower government, it would surely be highly profitable and useful for Germany and its degenerated prestige and dodgy reputation. |

Unser uralten fromme Teutschen, haben lang kainen frembden kauffman, frembd claidung, und kostliche rüstung zu inen zufüeren, gestattet. Noch vilminder dieselben bey inen zumachen und zutragen, zugelassen, ja sie hetten sich geschambt, das sie aus irer Teutschen ritterlichen art und gewonhait gangen weren. Die Spartaner schlugend ainen irer kriegszleut zutodt, [011*v] allain darumbe, das er sain klaidung etwas verendert, und sein schilt mit purpurseidenn gezieret hett. So gar haben sie sich ab dem frembden bracht entsatzet. Carolus der erst des namens, der gros genant, welcher ain recht geborner Teutscher gewesen, und das Römisch Reich erstlich an die Teutschen gebracht, hat dise gewonhait gehabt, das er sich ja und allweg der alten Teutschen klaidung und sonst kainer anderen gebraucht hat, unnd all sein lebenlang, nicht mer dann zu dreymalen, unnd das das dannocht dem pabst zulieb, ainen welschen lang Mantel, und brait Bantoffel angelegt hat, der in hernach zu vilmalen gerauen hat. Etlich seiner fürsten und reich Edelleutt, hetten in den Italianischen Kriegen, etliche kostliche gefild, gezierd und frembde klaidung, gekaufft. Als sie aber auf ein hochzeitlich fest dieselben anlegten, und sie der kaiser ersahe, schri er sie vor allem volck mit lautter stimm an, verspottet sie und sprach, woher, woher, ir freyen Schwaben unnd Francken, wie habt ir auch so gar verkert. Der Teutschen art und manier mit der frembden klaidung verendert. Tragt ir nicht die klaidung deren, so ir ritterlich bestritten, auch zudienen gezwungen haben, an eurem leib, wie, wolt ir eure gemüet auch also verkeren, pfuch der schanden, das ir also dem Teutschen namen, der allen anderen völckern erschrockenlich ist, mit diser eurer veranderung ein ewigs onlob erschöpffen. Sicht euch selbs an, wie ir geklaidet sein. Es kan doch euer kainer, wann er der notturft der natur, seinen weg auszlasset, sich selbs bedecken. Warumb gebt ir euer gold und silber auff das ir euere vätter verderben wollen umb so schantliche waren und und klaidung. Oder wolt ir nicht mer frey, sonder sclaven wie euere feind, deren klaidung ir antragen werden /. Er hat auch dieselben Fürsten und Edelleut mit allem fleis, sommers unnd winters zeitten, mit im auf das gejaid gefüeret, und haben vorbemelte gezierd unnd klaidung anhaben müessen, die er dann durch die grossen hegcken und gesträusz gefüert hat. Unnd nach dem gejaid, sich neben inen zu dem feur gesetzt, alda inen ire frembde klaider in stauden zerrissen, unnd das übrig bey dem feur besengt und verbrent worden sein, dermassen, das sie nicht lang geweret haben. Aber des frommen kaisers klaidung, das ein wolfszbeltz gewesen ist gantz und frisch beliben, darbey er ir gar höflich gespottet, auff mainung was sie doch für kostlich, aber unnütze klaidung, umb ein hoch gelt erkaufft haben /. Diser fromme kaiser Carolus, hat mit solchem seinen küenen und steiffen gemüet, ein so gross hertzlich, und allen völckern so erschröcklich aussehen gemachet, das in alle haidnische künig gefürcht. Der künig aus Asia, Persia unnd Aphrica haben potschafften zu im geschickt, in mit geschenck vereert, und sovil von inen zuwegen bracht, das im der Egiptisch kunig das gantz Hierusalem, mit sambt dem Grab Christi, von allen Haiden geraumbt und den Christen von seinet wegen frey übergeben und geschenckt hat, allain das er in zu freund, in seiner verainigung halte. Wann er die frembden potschafften verhort, hat er allweg sein kaiserliches schwert, das mit gold beschlagen, und an ainer güldin rittergürtel gehangen, an der seitten, und die hand auff dem knopff gehabt, und also sein manhait damit sehen lassen. Wie und aber die klaidung und rüstung der alten, mit den neuen klaidungen zu unser zeit, sich gegeneinander vergleichen, ist on not zuschreiben, dann allain in menschen gedencken, sich dieselben mannigfaltig verendert haben, und noch heuttigs tags in brauch ist, wer nur vil newes erfinden möcht, der ist den herrn ein lieber mann, also geet es zu, das sich die mannhait in wollust und hoffart verendert, unnd das lob der Teutschen darauff zuscheittern geet, gott wöll es ainmal bessern.[012r] Wie es aber unsere Teutschen diser zeit, den alten Teutschen mit dem weintrincken, spilen unnd übung des ritterspils, auch ire heirat und malzeitten beschlieszlich nachkomen unnd halten, davon were vil zuschreiben, dann laider die sachen, so man sie gegenainander halten, gar ain seltsame unnd abscheuliche abglaichung geben würd. Die alten, so sie in iren maltzeiten und gastereyen bey iren freünden, hohes oder niders stands gesessen seind, haben sie von iren alt vorfaren redlichen thaten gesagt, welches die jung gehört, unnd iren zuhertzen gangen, lust und leibe zu der ritterlichenn kunst des fechtens, daraus den rittermessigen das lob ervolgt, getragen. Das mit künstlichem flais settigs geübt, und ander untugend, als trincken, spilen, wollust der weiber, hochfart der Claidung sich enthalten. Apoph: fol.721. Plutarchus schreibet in seiner Apophtegmata, das der künig Antigonus, den philosophum Menedemum auff ain zeit fraged, ob er zu guten gesellen zu ainem undertrunck geen solte. Menedemus antwurt im mit ainem wort unnd sagt, Ey, er ist aines künigs sune, wolt damit anzaigen, das der künig, fürsten und obern, zu dem wein zugeen, ubel anstüende. Vermaint sie hetten wol ander exercitium und übung, die inen vil loblicher, auch nutzlicher, dann das zutrincken, weren deren sie sich gebrauchen sollen. Apoph: fol.312. Deszgleichen het Alexander der gros auch, als er in seiner jugend auff ain Zeit bey dem wein gewesen, und wider heim zuhof kame, ward seinem vatter Philippo angesagt, wie das sein sone Alexander bey dem wein gewesen, und so wol gesungen hette, dessen der künig Philippus übel zufriden was, und straft in mit dien worten, unnd sagt, schämst du dich nit vor dir selber, das du so wol zechen und singen kanst, als wolt er sagen, bist du nicht aines künigs sun, was geest du dann mit solch schnöden übung umb, wilt du nurch solche leichtvertige übungen, deine künigreich nach mainem tod erhalten, oder hast du an den stetten Athen, Corinthum, Argis, Corcica, und ander mer, so schlechte kindische Nachbaurn, so wende dain gemüet zu anderen ritterlichen künsten, die zuerbawung deines reichs, eeren unnd wolfartt, dieen. Ab welcher leer unnd straff, sich Alexander dermassen entsetzet, das er den ritterlichen übungen so vast ist obgelegen, das er hernacher auf vilen kampfplätz, den danck erlangt, und zuletst dahin komen, das er in zwelff jaren die gantz welt, mit seinem ritterlichen gemüett, bezwungen und bestritten hat. Und warlich wie mich die sach ansicht, so ist gentzlich zu achten, wann solche ritterliche übung nach der alten art unnd gebraüch, an stat anderer leichtvertigen übungen, welche durch lenge der zeit, nicht allain an dem küniglich und fürstlich höfen, sonder auch in den stetten, und sonst allenthalben, so gwaltig aingerissen, und die übung guter tugenden vertrungen haben, widerumb bey den hohen und nidern potentaten seinen gang gewinnen möchte. Das solchs alle, Teutschland, an seiner verfalnen Reputation und ferrlichen ansehen, hochnutzlich und dienstlich sein würde. |
Antiquissimi antecessores nostri nullos mercatores ad se (ut supra commemoratum est) mercium mutandarum gracia commeare sunt passi, vel qui sibi vestes preciosas venditarent: Multo minus eas per suos vestiarios fieri, et iis induerentur permiscrunt, namque eos puduisset, repudiata sua consuetudine et moribus, peregrinam ut assumerent. Spartani quum quispiam ex suis militibus, habitum suum nonnihil mutasset, atque scutum purpura exornasset, eum trucidavere, tantum ab alieno fastu et luxu animi eorum abhorruerunt. Carolus eius [010v] nominis primus, Magnus a virtutes dictus, qui primus ex Germanis Imperium Romanorum est adeptus, subinde antiquorum Germanorum vestitu usus est, et alieno numquam, excepto qui in gratiam papae ter dumtaxat longo pallio Italorum ritu, et latis crepidis indutus est, cuius facti post ut historici affirmant cum saepissime paenituit. Et cum bello Italico eius principes et nobiles sibi comparassent preciosas pelles tunicis suis subducendas fimbrias et alias vestes peregrinas, iisque die quondam solenni induti in comspectum imperatoris venissent, exclamans omni exercitu praesente dixit: O Suevi et Franci unde proditis, quae haec subita vestra mutatio? Ridens ipsorum habitum peregrinum et addit, nonne eorum vestibus induti estis quos strenue superastis et coegistis, ut sub vestro iugo servire, atque vobis subditos esse necesse est? an etiam animos vestros generosos mutare statuistis? Quae (malum) isthaec est dementia, vultis ne nomen vestrum praeclarum, quod aliis gentibus hactenus fuit formidabile atque tremendum, ista vestium molitiae perpetua ignominia polluere? Quaeso tandem vestitum vestrum respicite, eiusque rationem habete, qui vos nulla ex parte honeste in reddendo naturae opere contegit. Quid argentum et aurum dilapidatis? An propterea, ut patres vestros pecunia spolietis? An non in posterum libertatem vestram tueri cupitis, sed potius Sclavos ut hostes vestri, quorum vestitu utiminin vos exhibere? Eos igitur principes nobilesque tata opera ad Venationes secum eduxit diebus aestivis, et Brumae temporibus veste peregrina indutos, atque per arbusta et frutices arctissimos transire, Imperatorem suum sequentes, reversos autem ad ignem sedere coegit, quo citius eae vestes arborum spinis, et ignis vicinitate consumerentur. Vestis autem ipsius Imperatoris, erant pelles lupinae, quae non tam cito perirent, ea re significare voluit, qui preciosas quidem vestes comperaveritur magno, at inutiles. Porro imperatoris tantam authoritatem sibi apud omnes exteros gravitate moreum, et animo constanti conciliavit, ut cunctarum gentum regibus eius severitas esset terrori. Reges Asiae, Persiae et Africae legatos suos ad Carolum miserunt Magnum, quo de agimus, regia munera offerentes, tantumque impetravit ab iis ut Rex Aegyptiorum Hierosolimam adhibito Christi redemptoris busto, remotis gentibus Christum negantibus in potestatem Christianorum concesserit, atque adep ipsis donavit, hac conditione ut in amicitiam Imperatoris reciperetur. Quum [011r] vero legatos peregrinos audiret seper accinctus erat ense Imperatorio, qui erat auro exornatus, aureo item cingulo dependens equitum auratorum more, manu nodo ensis superimpostita, et ex ea forma ipsius apparuit virtus. Nunc autem si vestitus noster cum antiquorum conferatur longe alia ratio apparebit, veteris suo tantum quem a maioribus acceperant utebantur, si autem apud nos quispiam vestitum antea numquam conspectum licet, in lucem dederit, longe maiorem gratiam sibi apud omnes conciliabit, et quo quisque magis peregrinarum vestitum est studiosus, eo acceptior esse videtur. Ceterum, quanta inter antiquos Germanos et neotericos differentia, quantumque moribus different satis apparet, si nostrae ingurgitationes comparentur antiquorum temperantia, si coniugia, si denique exercitia videbimus nos longe ab illorum legibus recessisse, et longe maioribus nostris rebus omnibus esse inferiores. Nam maiores nostri cum convivia celebrarent, virtutes et egregia suorum maiorum facta commemorabant, quas iuventus accumbens cum percepisset, aemulari eas studere coepit summo studio, delectati itaque harum exercitio, magno desiderio excellere postea in iis et suis aequalibus perstare conabantur. Unde contigit, ut spretis aleis, potationibus, venere, et in vestibus luxu, soli Athleticae incubuerit. Plutarchus in Apophtegmatis scripsit, Antigonum Regem aliquando Menedemum Philosophum interrogasse, deberet ne ad commessationem quandam adire, eum post multum silentium nihil aliud respondisse, quam ut recordaretur regis filium se esse, subindicans luxum indecorum esse regibus, aut potentibus licere quod libet. Simili ratione Alexander magnus a pater obiurgatus est. Philippus n quum audisset filium suum quodam in loco egregie potasse, et post scite cecinisse, civiliter eium obiurgavit, dicens, Non te tui pudet, qui noris tam belle canere? Significans alias artes esse rege digniores. Et rursus, an putas his te exercitiis puerilibus regnum post obitum meum obtenturum? Vel huiusmodi exempla tibi vicini tui Athenenses, Corinthii, Argivi, et Corcyrei exhiberent? Animum ad virtutes et exercitia honestiora appellas, quae ad aedificationem regni tui faciunt, quibusque gloriam tibi et salutem comparare poteris. Qua obiurgatione Alexander tantum motus, ut posthac [011v] athleticis certaminibus deditus in palaestra fortiter pugnans saepe victoriam obtinuerit, atque eo devenit, ut prope totum terrarum orbem duodecim annis in suam potestatem receperit. |

To the honour-loving custom of the knightly sport did the Roman emperor Henry, the first of this name, wish to dedicate himself and lend support with all his appetite and desire, so that it would not decay, with the good and timely counsel of his princes and other lords. And he did establish the praiseworthy knightly sport of the tourney in the year 938 with the counsel of his princes and lords, adorned with twelve praiseworthy, honourable and Christian articles, so as to conserve honour, virtue and honesty in the Holy Empire of the German Nation. In this manner that none among the nobility, princes or counts, might participate in the knightly sport of the tourney if they violated the said twelve articles. Whoever did so was made the mockery of all princes, lords and ladies, put on the barriers, denuded of horse, weapons and armour, and publicly proclaimed a villain by the heralds, so that the princes, lords and noblemen were incited to good virtues and avoided many great vices. |

Henricus Primus eius nominis, Romanorum Imperator, cum videret gloriam Germanorum esse collapsam, nullaque certaminum exercitia existere, equestris concursis, quos nos Torneamenta vocamus, Anno 938 instituit, pariter cum suis principibus atque aliis Heroibus, qui aulam suam sequebantur, quo antiqua Germanorum gloria, quam sibi peperant in palaestris, gymnicis et equestribus pugnis, retineretur. Fecit autem duodecim articulos qui in praedictis certaminibus servarentur, ea contitione, ut si quispiam principum, Comitum atque Nobilium eos fuisset transgressus equestrem hunc concursum, id est Torneamenta exercere non auderet. Si quis autem eos egressus nihilominus certamen inisset, in conspectum principum atque omnium, qui spectandi gratia accesserant, supra septa ponebatur equo et armis spoliatus atque praeconem publice tanquam scelerosus promulabatur. Unde aulici hanc contumeliam veriti, abstinebant a vitiis et virtuti studebant. |

The said twelve articles were set down in great earnest by the emperor and the princes of the holy empire, and recited orally. The first was recited by the emperor himself, [i.e.] whoso blasphemes the Christian faith and the holy Trinity or despoils and weakens the church of Christ. [The second by] the count Palatine: whoso treacherously acts against any proscription or prohibition of the emperor's. [The third by] the duke of Swabia: whoso dishonours or weakens ladies or virgins. [The fourth by] the duke of Bavaria: whoso is recognized as in breach of treaty, in perjury or dishonour. [The fifth by] the duke of Franconia, whoso betrays his own lord and deserts him. And so on by other lords beside: [6th] whoso slays his bed-fellow or instigates manslaughter; [7th] whoso despoils churches or hermitages, widows or orphans by threat of violence; [8th] whoso harries, pillages or feuds with another without declaration or proper claim. [9th] whoso would change or alter the law and order of the empire and cause unrest in the streets; [10th] whoso breaches his own or another's honour. [11th] Whoso is of noble birth but does not maintain his noble state by his pensions, revenue and liege's guerdon but instead involves himself with merchant's trade and usury. [12th] that none [may participate] unless he is of right noble birth on the part of [all] his four grandfathers and grandmothers. All these, blemished by such vices, must avoid the highly honourable knightly sport of the tourney and fully excluded on pains of severe penalty. At all times at each tourney, of which the first was held in the year 938 in Magdeburg and the last in the year 1487 in Worms, numbering thirty-six,[25] there attended the highest-born and most noble princesses, countesses and baronesses, in the state of wife, virgin or widow, who helped inspect helmets and coats-of-arms, observe[?], present treasures and prizes, gave thanks and honour[?] and held dances, all of this invented and performed for the preservation of honour and virtue. |

Sunt autem illi duodecim atriculi magna Imperatoris imperiique totius principum gravitate compositi et recitati: .1. Primum ipse Caesar retulit, erat autem is, ne quis fidem Catholicam et Trinitatem blasphemet, vel Christi Ecclesiam depraedetur. .2. Comes Palatinus, nequis Caesaris edictum aspernetur temere. .3. Dux Sueviae, nequis coniugem alterius vel virginem vitiet. .4. Dux Bavariae, Periuri hoc certaminis genis non exerceant. .5. Dux Franciae: qui dominum suum prodiderit, eumve deserverit, extollatur. .6. Sequuntur nunc et aliorum heroum statuta ad Torneamenta pertinentia: qui eiusdem lecti consortem interfecisset, vel interficiendum mandasset. .7. Qui templa, viduas et orbos spoliasset. .8. Qui aliquem depraedatus fuisset, vel incendiis iniuste persecuutus contra ius bellum. .9. Qui innovationem legum Imperialium induxisset, [012r] eaque effecisset, ut viae Regiae non tutae essent. .10. Item qui suipsius coniugii vel aliorum disturbator fuerit..11. Qui familia, nobili progenitus mercatorem et feneratorem egisset potius, quam ut suis annuis redditibus et stipendiis Principum se sustenasset. .12. Qui denique originem nobilitatis non duxisset a tritavis, paternis, atque adeo maternis. His igitur vitiis qui erant contaminati, ludis Torneamentorum arcebantur, neque umquam admittebantur. His ludis aderant(quorum primus Magdeburgi Saxoniae anno 938 Ultimus Wormatiae anno 1487, actus est eorumque fuere numero 36 potentiores Principissae, Comitissae, Baronumque stirpe progenitae maritatae, simul etiam virgines, tum etiam quae maritis erant orbatae, Cassides et dimicantium arma simul cum arbitris ad eam rem delectis probantes, atque victoribus prabea distribuerent, eos summis laudibus efferentes, necnon post finitis certaminibus in Choris ducendis cum victoribus alios praecedebant primasque habebant, atque haec omnia ad retinendam gloriam pristinam sunt excogitata. |

But at length it could not persist and the knightly exercise did not take root, as the jurists say, it should be clearly set down and established in the laws of the imperial fencers. Namely, as all games have been prohibited, so should the knightly game of fencing not just remain unprohibited, but should be and remain freely allowed for everyone, which would serve the [? and] ingraining of the knightly exercise, but with much surprise we hear that all the world would obstruct, rage and rant for the prohibited if it serves to no good, and the little which many should love, they let be abandoned and fall into disdain, so that nigh all good virtue is eclipsed, as is regrettably often the case both in times of peace and of war. But on the other hand all sorts of new-fangled arts, as for example the pernicious shooting, are seen in this our time, of which the princes and lords now make avid use in warfare, by which the knightly art is sorely weakened and there is a sore decline in the supply of brave heroes. By this harsh art, many a courageous hero's life was stolen surreptitiously and from afar, who would otherwise could well have saved and made for himself an immortal name of praise by virtue of his knightly spirit. Plutarch writes [Apoph. fol: 61.], as Archidamus for the first time set eyes on a catapult, which was first invented in Sicily, he began to lament with a loud voice, by the god Hercules, the courage of men will go to ruin, as if he would say, if more such and alike instruments were to be invented and used in war, there will be no longer any difference between bawdy, slothful and lusty, valiant men-at-arms. And thus will decay all knightly exercise, and in its place all cunning, sloth and vice will grow apace, and such has regretfully happened and is now in full fashion. From this it has truly been shown over time that there is a great scarcity of doughty, brave and strong men who have invented artillery, mortars, catapults or other such implements. Socrates was asked by the Spartans, where were all the strong heroes and doughty, well-versed warriors. Well, said Socrates, at Troy. By which he wanted to convey that as at Troy was held knightly exercise but that there the very nucleus of Greek knighthood, warring for honour, had over time fallen, so that at the present time there was only left a shadow or spectre of their former praise. What can I say, oftentimes men, and especially the Roman emperor and king, were trying to aid this knightly art, but this has never really taken hold, as we have amply set out above. Finally, the knightly art has come to this, that it developed the Brotherhood known as Saint Mark's, which the most eminent, most mighty Roman emperors of most praiseworthy memory, Frederick, the third of this name, Maximilian, and now the invincible prince, Charles himself all three nobly born of the old and praiseworthy house of Austria,[26] so that this knightly exercise may not decay completely, and at this time may once again be aided with privileges and liberties, presented furnished with their best and most gracious sympathy. Namely such that on every autumn's fair in Frankfurt, those who would be or become master of the sword, must first be examined in their masterly test in the iron-run[?] and golden art by ordained and sworn masters of Saint Mark's Brotherhood, and all that is pertinent to the knightly fencing with all virtue they must request and confirm their completion under oath. These [masters of the sword] may then hold schools as far as does extend the Roman Empire of the German Nation and may teach to other men on their request the proper manner of the sword. But for two reasons this exercise is held in low regard, the first, that gamblers, drunkards, usurers and lovers of beautiful women have been given much room in the highest places, such as princely courts and in the chief cities of the empire, and knightly art and exercise may not thrive due to them, but must always stay hidden behind the door, and the second, that numerous masters of the sword and otherwise masters, also Freifechter and numerous other fencers, to their own damage and disadvantage and that of the praiseworthy ancient art, act ineptly and ignominiously, foster envy and hatred in their fencing in schools, such that the young would hold the old in contempt at the fencing-school, and force on them their wantonness, and in addition abuse themselves of too much wine, from which results much frivolous discord, much to the chagrin of the authorities, and causes a considerable decline in the noble art. All this then serves more the extirpation than to the taking root of the noble and ancient knightly art, as pains me at the heart, and I would rather (in the interest of the noble art) hide it by my silence than to report it, especially as these vices are also hardly conductive to civil order. So I would gladly instruct all pious honest fencers to the profit and benefit of the fatherland, in the hope that they should be rewarded for it by everlasting praise. [Apoph. fol: .7.] Plutarch writes in his courtly aphorisms that the excellent scholar Carillus was asked, which were the most praiseworthy cities, and he answered to this effect, that those cities were the best and safest, in which the citizens do not quarrel for ambition or authority, but one desires to excel the other by means of manly virtue (but without rioting) and would gladly be the foremost in the furtherance of communal benefit. For this the gods of the Spartans were all conceived as wearing armour and carrying arms, as if they wanted to convey that even the gods themselves had enmity and hatred for sloth and idleness. But [now] all would defend lust and sloth and pretend that one could still rule and sustain a land and people, even though the knightly sport of fencing is no longer as much in fashion as it used to be in the beginning, because this art would also produce insolent, proud and foolhardy men, and for this reason should be closely supervised. To these I know no short answer, then it is true, that a regrettably large number of men who undertake to learn the knightly art within their own insolent wantonness, and that for this reason, they use their force to commit outrage and in anger cause injury to other men, as happened in Rome at one time as two fencing-masters did attach to themselves a great number of fencers and rioted in Italy causing so much damage to the common man that the mayors of Rome led the whole army against them, fought them, and had to exterminate them. Those, who are such men, I do not deem worthy of being named honest fencers, nor are they in no way worthy of any praise, and I do not wish to publish this work of honour to their praise, but to impel them to good virtue. Such reckless fencers to not consort with honourable men, but with lions, bears, leopards, tigers, wild cattle, and buffaloes, or with bad, outlawed, evil men as was the custom of the Romans. For their use of fencing and foolhardiness they shall receive no praise whatsoever from my part. But there is found no faculty in all the world which does not share in such danger and worry, for a man may study whatever he likes, be he a theologian, jurist, medicus or some other besides, if his heart is not honest, pious and his spirit not upright, then all that which he is capable of and which he studied will only serve to the detriment and damage of himself and of others. Therefore no-one who desires to learn the knightly art should be dismayed by such lazy insinuations, and it does seem to me that such lazy insinuation does exclusively emanate from lazy and ignominious men who as the Epicureans put their attention only on all laziness and bodily lust, and that they have good and lazy days, a calm life, the best dainties, the best wine and drink according to all their whims and pleasure, may God provide for honest manhood and knightly sport by which land and people are sustained, and if these would utterly decay, they would not care much. Yea they would not care to have their garment wrinkled[?] for the sake of the common good, and that much less would they risk the smallest part of their pleasure. These are the right fellows born in the kingdom of Cockaigne. The ancients have composed a fable of the land of Cockaigne as a determent for the young, where the houses are built from gingerbread, with fences made from wattled sausages, and hail and rain of sugar, the streams and fountains are filled with tasty wine, and all fowls are roasted, and do not have to be caught but roasted they fly into the mouth of anyone who so desires. Also, who can sleep and keep lazy for the longest time, and can hold himself with superfluous eating and drinking in a way that goes against nature, these are supported by a liberal yearly provision, and other similar things besides, such is contained in the order and statutes of this land of Cockaigne.[27] But while the ancients had the opposite intent in this, and wanted to incite the lazy men to prowess by means of mockery, these fellows are so much opposed to it as if they would want to own the land of Cockaigne, and take a position of government and authority therein, and all good arts they disdain, besmirch and even try to extirpate by their lazy insinuation just to gloss over their slothfulness and their inert, godless lives. |

Es hat aber in die lenge auch nit besteen, und die ritterlich übung zu pflanzung nicht helffen wöllen, unnd wie dem die Juristen sagen, das in den Legibus der Kaiserlichen Fechtern clar verfaszt unnd aufgerichtet sein soll. Nemlich so alle Spil verbotten worden, so soll doch das ritterspil der kunst des fechtens, nicht allain menigclich unverbotten, sondern jederman frey erlaubt sein und plaiben. Welchs zu aufzauffung und pflantzung der ritterlichen übung dienet, aber mit grossem verwundern ist zuhören, das alle wellt stellet, wüetet und tobt, nach dem verbotnen, so kainen guten dienet, und das wenig, welchs manigclich lieben soll, lassen farn, und gantz aus der achtung komen. Damit dann gar nahent alle gute tugenden erloschen, wie dan in frids und kriegszeiten, laider offt gesehen wirt / Es werden aber sonst allerlay newerfundenen künsten, als das verderblich geschosz aines ist, diser unser zeit gesehe, welcher sich die füsten und herren im krieg diszmals vast gebrauchen, durch welchs stück dise ritterliche kunst auch vast bekrenckt, und die tapfferen helden, seer vast inn abnemen komen sein. Dann durch dise strenge kunst, manchem küenen helden, sein lebenn haimlicher wais, von weittem her, abgestolen wirt, der sich sonst mit seinem ritterlichen gemüet, wol erettet, und ime ainen onsterblichen Namen des lobs hett machen mügen. Archidamus ersahe auff ain zeit, als Plutarchus schreibt Apoph. fol: 61., ainen Wurfzeug, so allererst aus Sicilia, komen was, da fieng er mit lautter stim an zuschreien, Bey dem Got Hercules, der männer [013*r] tapfferkait werden zuschetteren geen. Als wolte er sagen, Wann dise unnd dergleichen Instruent mer erfunden und in den kriegen gebraucht werden soll so wirt kain underschaid zwischen den unflätig faulen und den lustigen und endlichen kriegsleuten mer sein werden. Unnd werden also alle exercitiones der ritterlichen übung fallen, unnd dargegen alle list, faullhait unnd untugend überhand nemen, des dann laider beschehen, und jetzund gwaltig in schwanck geet. Daraus dann mit der Zeit warlichen ervolget ist, das an vedlichen tapffern, starcken leutten, dieweil das Geschütz, mörser, wurfzeug, unnd andere dergleichen mer, erfanden, grosse mangel erscheinet. Socrates ward von den Spartanern gefract, wa doch die starcken helden, unnd vedliche geübte kriegsleut waren. Ja sagt Socrates, vor Troia, damit er zu versteen hat geben wollen, wie vor Troia so ritterliche übung gehalten worden, und aber daselbst der recht keren der griechischen ritterschafft, umb redlichkait willen gestritten, mit der zeit gefallen, das diser zeit nunn ain schein oder schatten von derselben lob mer vorhanden sey. Was soll ich aber sagen, man hat diser ritterlichen kunst, unnd besonders der römischen kaiser und kunig, offermalen zuhilff komen wollen. Es hat aber nie recht von statten geen wollen, als dann oben vil davon gehört ist. Und ist die ritterliche kunst letstlichen dahin komen, das nun ain Bruderschaft Sannt Marten genant, daraus worden ist, welches die allerdurchleuchtigsten, grosmechtigsten römischen kaiser hochloblichster gedechtnis Friderichs des namens der dritt, Maximilianus, und ietzt der unüberwindtlichst fürst Carolus selbst, alle drey aus dem altloblichen haus Österreich loblich erboren, damit doch dise ritterliche übung nicht gar verfiele, unnd mit der zeit widerumb geholffen werden möcht mit privilegien und freihaiten zu dem besten, allergnedigsten mainung fürsehen und begabet. Nemlich, das alle franckfurter herbstmesz, die maister des schwerts sein und werden wollen, durch verordnete unnd darauff geschworene maister Sannt Marx Bruderschaft, ire maisterliche prob in der Eisenfart und guldin kunst, probieren, unnd also was zu dem ritterlichen fechten gehörig, mit aller zucht begeren, und das mit aidszpflichten zuvolntziehen bestettigen, also zuvor erlangen müessen. Dise mögen dann so weit das Römisch Reich Teutscher Nation sich erstreckt, schulen halten, unnd ander leut so begeren, nach des schwerts gerechtigkait lernen. Es wirt aber dise übung aus zwaien stücken gar gering geachtet. Das erst, das die spiler, zutrincker, wucherer, unnd liebhaber schöner weiber, an den höchsten orten, als fürstenhöfen, unnd auch in den grösten stetten des reichs, grossen platz haben, unnd die ritterliche kunst und übungen, vor inen nicht aufkomen, sondern allweg hinder der thür beleiben musz. Das ander, das auch etliche maister des schwerts unnd ander angelobte maister, auch Freyfechter und etliche sonst fechter, sich inen, und der loblichen alten kunst, zuschaden und nachtail, so ongeschickt und onlöblich, mit aller leichtfertigkait selbs halten, in irem fechten auf der schulen den neid und hasz herfürbrechen, und das die jungen, die alten, auff den fechtschulen etwan gar verachtlich halten, und inen also iren mutwillen zugebrauchen verhengen. Unnd zudem sich selbs des weins gar zuvil miszbrauchen, derhalben vil laichtvertiger unainigkait daraus erwachset, der Oberkait grossen verdrusz, und der edlen kunst mercklichen abgang mit sich bringet. Welchs dan alles diser edlen uralten ritterlichen kunst, mer zu ainer auszreittung denn zu ainer pflantzung dienet, das mir von hertzen laid, unnd solchs zumelden (.der edlen kunst zulieb.) mit schweigen lieber verbergen wolte, dann dise untugenden auch zu kainem bürgerlichen regiment gar nicht dienen. So wolte ich auch alle fromme redliche fechter, geren zu dem nutz und frommen des vatterlands waichen und anfüeren, in hoffnung das es inen mit ewigem lob vergolten werden solt. /. Apoph. fol: ..7. Plutarchus schreibet in seinen höflichen sprüchen,das der treffenlich hochgelert mann Carillus befragt wurde, welchs doch die loblichsten Stett weren, denen er auf dise wais geantwortet hat, Das dise Stet, in welcher sich die Bürger, nicht umb Eergeitzigkait noch Obrigkait mitainander zancken, [013*v] sonder so ainer den andern mit manlicher tugend (.doch on aufrur.) begert zuübertreffen, und den gemainen nutz zufürdern, gern der maist sain wolte, am allerbesten und sicheristen weren. Derhalben die Götter der Spartaner alle mit harnasch unnd wheren angethan, gemacht wurden. Als wolten sie damit zuversteen geben, das auch die Götter selbs, der faulkait und müessiggang faind, unnd gehessig weren. Es will sich aber schier jedermann auf den wollust und faulkait verantworttenn, und fürgeben, man künde dannocht land und leut regiern und erhalten, wann schon das ritterspil des fechtens nicht, wie im anfang, also gar in schwanck gange. Dann dise kunst bringe auch freche, stoltze unnd verwegene laichtvertige leut mit sich, derhalben wol darauf zuschawen sey. Denen waisz ich nit basz zu antworten, dann wie die warhait selbs ist, das laider vil personen, so sich diser ritterlichen kunst mit aigner frecher mutwilligkait zulernen anmassen, und das all darumbe, das si iren gewalt frevenlich brauchen und andren leuten durch zorn schaden zufüegen, wie dann in Rom auf ain zeit zugangen, da zwen fechtmaister, ain grosse untzal fechter an sich hanckten, unnd in Italia dermassen rumorten, und dem gemainen mann so grossen schaden bewisen, das auch die Bürgermaister zu rom gantze Heer wider sie auffüerten, bestreitten, unnd dieselben erlegen musten. Denen, so solche leut sind, achte ich nit wdrig, das sie redliche fechter, noch kaines lobs mit nichten widrig sein, will inen auch dises Eernwerck mitt nichten zu lob, sonder mer zu raitzung gutter tugenden, an tag gegeben haben. Dann die unbesinte fechter, keren nicht mit eerbarn leutten, sonder mit Lewen, Beren, Leobarden, Tigerthier, Aurochsen und Biffel oder argen verurtailten bösen Leutten wie dann etwan der Römer gebrauch gewesen. Ir fechten und verwegenhait zugebrauchen, unnd soll inen kain lob von mir mit nichten widerfaren. Es wirt aber kain facultet in aller Welt befunden, die solchen gefard und besorgung nicht trage, dann es lerne der mensch was er wölle, das zu gutten raichet, es sey gleich ein Theologus, Jurist, Medicus, oder anderer mer, wann sein hertz nicht redlich, fromb, unnd sein gemüet nicht aufrecht ist, so wirt alles was er kan und gelernt hat, im selbs und seinen nechsten zuschaden und nachtail raichen. Derhalben kainer, so dise ritterlihe kunst zu lernen lust hat, gar kain entsitzen ab solcher faulen ainred haben soll, mich bedünckt aber, das diese faule ainred, allain von faulen schimpffischen leutten, die nicht mer, dann wie die Epicurer, auff alle faullkait und wollust des laibs, ire achtung haben, herfliesse, und mann sie nun gutte faule tag, ruwigs wesen, die besten schleckbiszlen, den besten wein unnd getranck nach allem irem gefallen, mit der wölle hetten, Got gebe wie es umb die redliche manhait und ritterspil, dardurch land und leut erhalten wirtt, zuginge, unnd wann sie schon gar zugrund süncke were inen nicht vil daran gelegenn. Ja sie liessend sich von des gemainen nutz wegen, nicht ain nestel trucken, noch vilminder wanigest tail des wollusts underwegen. Dise seind eben die rechten gesellen, so in dem künigreich schlaraffenland erboren seind. Die alten haben der jugend zu ainer abschreckung der müssig faulkait, ain fabel von dem schlaraffenland erdichtet, darinnen die häuser mit letzelten gebawen, mit gladen gedeckt, die zäun aus bratwürsten geflochten, und sey der hagel unnd regen von zucker. Die fliessenden wasser und Brunnen, seiend mit gutem geschmackem wein erfüllet. Deszgleichen seiend alle geflügel gebratten, und bedürff sie nicht fahen, sonder fliegen jedem, wann er nun wolle, also gebraten in das maul. Zudem wer zu dem langisten schlaffen, unnd sich faulklich halten kunde, auch sich [014*r] mit überflüssigem essen und trincken, das es auch wider die Natur sey, dermassen so onlustig halten künde, dieselben werden mit reichlicher provision järlich underhalten, nnd ander faule stück mer, so die ordnung und statuta dises schlaraffenlands in sich halten. Aber wie die alten das widerspil hiemit gemaint, und dardurch die faulen menschen spotszweis zu der endlichkait haben raitzen wollen, also stellen sich solche gesellen dermassen dargegen, als ob sie das Schlaraffenland gar besitzen wöllen, das regiment und obrigkait darinnen gar einnemen, unnd alle gute künsten, zu beschönung irer faulkait mit irer faulen ainred, und tragen ungotseligen leben, verachten, besudeln, unnd gar aussreitten wollen. |
Iurisperiti legibus cautum esse affirmant, vetitis omnibus aliis exercitiis et ludis concessam esse solam Athleticam, utpote quae faceret ad excitationem eruditionemque pugnarum equestrium. Sed mirum in modum natura humana constituta est, ut semper in vetitum nitamur, atque negata cupiamus, quae ad nullas virtutes nos excitent. Et eo res tandem rediit, ut nullae virtutes in precio habeantur, ut est videre temporibus bellicis et tranquillis. Verum aliae multae et inauditae artes in singulos dies effiguntur. Quid dicam de Tormentis nuper repertis quibus nostri Principes vel maxime nostro saeculo utuntur? Quibus optimi quique et fortissimi milites transverberantur, et ipsorum virtus [012v] nequiquam iis prodest quibusque lucis usura eximproviso fraude clandestina eripitur vel strenuissimis, qui sua virtute se egregie tueri potuissent, et gloriam aeternam sibi comparare. Archidamus cum vidisset iaculum catapulta mittendum id temperis primum ex Sicilia advectum, exclamans inquit Hercules viri virtus periit. Significans quoties instrumentis bellum geritur, quae misso telo saxove procul feriunt, minimum interesse inter fortem virum et ignavum. Verum ubi cominus res geratur tum apparere, qui viri sint et qui non. Socrates interrogatus aliquando a Spartanis ubinam fortissimi et integerrimi essent milites, ad Troiam fuisse, respondit: innuens qui bello Troiano bellica exercitia, et omnis generis certamina floruissent, et fortissimos quosque Graecorum fortiter pugnando cecidisse, atque tantae virtutis exiguam speciem adhuc superstitem esse, ita ut nunc nostro aevo ex tam amplissimo dimicationum genere et laudabili fraternitas, ut vocant Sancti Marci reliqua sit, quam Illustrissimis Romanorum Imperator Fridericus eius nominis tercius post Maximilianus, insuper et Carolus quintus invicissimus domus Austriacae domini, atque inde progeniem ducentes, privilegiis honestissimis donarunt, ea ratione tantum, ut ad Athleticam ingenuos excitarent. Quare singulis nundinis Francfordiensibus, quae autumno sunt sollennes, Athletae, quos ensis longiorum magistros Germani appellant, tum etiam Athleticae studiosi, qui creari magistri cupiunt, convenire solent, atque pariter ibidem in arte (ut vocant) aurea et ferrea, id est qui pro auro, ferro decernere audentes consueverunt, Athleticam virtutem exercent, inde ii si eprum exercitum Athleticum electis ad eam rem magistris approbatur, qui magistri promovei adpetunt, Coronam impetrarint, iureiurando prius dato, se leges et statuta, quae sibi essent praelecta, accurate servaturos, iis licet publice in tota Germania, quantum Romanorum Imperium extendutur Scholas Athleticas aperire, aliosque eam artem iuxta consuetudinem et ritum Athleticum docere. Porro Athletica duas av causas vilipenditur, primo, qui aleatores vinosi, faeneratores, tum etiam amatores in Principum aulis versantes, nec non Urbibus praecipuis agentes plurimi ab universis aestimantur, eo fit ut hoc tam spendidum[28] exercitum nusquam locum habeat, verum hinc inde cev spectaculum ociosum pellatur. Altera ratio hae est: Sunt quidam eius artis magistri iureiurando confirmati, rituque solenni, tum etiam ii qui eum gradum non assumpserunt, quos [013r] liberos Athletas vulgo appellant, adeo immodesti, imperiti, atque adeo ad omnis generis vitia propensi, in iisque plane submersi, ut in palaestris omne potius invidiam ostensantes quam Athleticam exerceant, hinc fieri solet, ut in palaestris magistri aetate et artis industria provecti iunioribus sint quasi ludibrio, qui discipulis nimium indulgeant atque vinum avidiis quam decet, ingurgitent. Quo circa frequenter evenit, ut inter eos iurgia, odium discordia, et irae nascantur, molesti etiam ipsi magistratui, denique isthaec mmodesta Athetharum quorundam ipsi arti contemptum parit, quod certe magis ad artis Athleticae eradicationem quam excitationem facit, neque vero ista vitia commemorata respublicas exornant. Quare teste Plutarcho in Apophtegmatis Charillus interroganti cuidam, quam arbitraretur optimam rempublicam. In qua, inquit, plurimi cives de virtute decertant citra seditionem. In plerisque Civitatibus certamen est de opibus, et honoribus, de virtute qui vertent pene nulli: qui vera virtute praeditus est, nihil spectat, nisi ut prosit reipublicae. Propterea Lacedaemoniorum statuae omnes ponebantur armatae, ea re significantes diis gratam esse fortitudinem, invisam vero ignaviam, simulque iuventutem armis ferendis debere assuescere, quo simul et minus indulgerent delitiis, atque habiliores bello evaderent. Sunt autem quidam voluptarii nihilominus citra Athleticam respublica posse gubernari affirmantes, eam .n. efficere iuventutem temerariam et plus audacia fervere. Iis hoc modo respondeo, plurimos esse, qui ob eam tantum causam Athleticam discunt, ut temere et fraudulenter alios laedere possint, et culpa eius rei minime in ipsam retorquenda est. In Italia gladiatores aliquando multa loca esse depopulatos, Cives depraedatos, et ea ratione in Italia sevisse,[29] ut Romanorum optimi milites sub Coss. Contra eps magno cum exercitu proficisci cogerentur. Huiusmodi igitur gladiatores, qui eam ob rem artem discuntm ut more belluarum saeviant nulla adhibita ratione, indigni sunt, ut Athletae vocentur, sed potius latrones, qui concertent cum leonibus, ursis, leopardis, atque trucibus uris, denique condemnatis scelerosis ut moris Roma aliquem erat. Quicunque gladiatoriam discere cupiunt, non deterreantur ociosorum hominem verbis frivolis, ut supra commemoratum est, nam Theologi, Iurisperiti, Medici si suas facultates optime norint et calleant, attamen si animus ipsorum minus sit integer atque syncerus, obesse potius quam prodesse proximo cupient. Ista autem omnia quibus bonas artes, et honesta exercitia mali contaminant ab hominibus ociosis, ignavis et voluptariis, qui ventri dumtaxat sunt dediti, atque in Castra Epicuri sese coniecerunt, [013v] denique non curantes rebuspublicis animo forti et integro praeesse, profluere videntur. Eos igitur iudico in Utopia natos. Finxerunt antecessores nostri Utopia terram esse optimam, omnibus divitiis refertam nomine excogitato, in qua desides, imperiti somnolenti, atque aliis huiusmodi vitiis obnoxii magnas divitias acquirant id autem ut deterrerent iuvenes av ignavia. Ceterum, sicuti illi quidem ex hoc figmento sensum contrarium intelleti voluere,nimirum ut ociosi ignavique adolescentes ad virtutem atque labores provocarentur ita praedicti Athletae furibundi rerum publicarum Utopiae gubernacula sustinere debebant. |

All kinds of examples of honesty are found in the histories, which indicate clearly that the empires, countries and cities are sustained by honesty of spirit and prowess of the fist, but that they dissolve and are undone by lazy inertia. The Assyrian Empire, which was the first empire in this world, did take its origin with king Ninus and by thirty-six kings was ruled in full honesty during one thousand two hundred and forty years. But on his accession their final king, Sardanapolus[30] ruled in such a way that under his rule sloth, lust of women, excessive eating and drinking, and gambling, became so rife that he drowned in these said vices, while honesty was in such low esteem that his own people grew disobedient and deserted him, and was divided in gangs and parties, and he was finally chased and exiled from his own empire, and thus by his negligent laziness, disrespect of knightly exercise and bad government, the Assyrian Empire came to its end with him. This king was often found in his women's quarters when he should have been dedicating himself to knighthood, and to please them he used to work the spindle. He had made costly preparation of his tomb before his death, and on it he ordered the following inscription [folio. 46.] Sardanapolus Anecendarases. Ede, bibe, lude. which in German means this, Sardanapolus of Anecendarasis, eat, drink, play. In this the kind reader may well perceive what difference in success and failure there is between slothful and valiant lords. As Xerxes, king in Persia, re-conquered and brought into his power the city of Babylon after it had seceded from him, he considered how he could keep the great city of Babylon so that it would not secede from him again, and to this end he ordered that all Babylonian citizens and inhabitants may not carry any weapon, and may no longer exercise knightly sport, but he allowed them to visit the taverns and drink wine every night, to sing and whistle and also that they might have beautiful women, and might wear plaited dresses. All this he did with the intent of turning honest men into soft women, which indeed then did come to pass as they became used to pleasures, so that their manhood declined and thence he might rein them as with a bridle, which also did come to pass. |

Das Assirisch Reich, welchs das erst Reich auf diser welt gewesen, hat sein anfang von dem künig Nino empfangen, unnd ist durch sechsunddreissig künig, auf Tausent, zwaihundert und viertzig jarlang, gantz eerlich geregiert worden. Als aber ir letzter künig, Sardanapolus in das regiment komen, hat er dergestalt geregieret, das er in seinem regiment der faulkait, wollust der weiber, dem überessen und trincken, unnd spilen, so vast obgelegen, dardurch er in den bemelten lastern so gar ertrüncken, dargegen der redlichkait so wenig geachtet, das im sein aigen volck gantz ongehorsam worden, von im abgefallen, in rotten und parthen gethailt, und entlich von seinem gantzen reich vertriben und veriagt worden ist, und hat also das Assirisch Reich, durch sein hinlessige faulkait, und nit achten ritterlicher übung, auch üble regierung, in im sein endschafft genomen. Diser künig ist offtermalen, wann er solte der ritterschaft obgelegen sein, in seinem Frawenzimmer gefunden worden, und inen zulieb an der gunggel gespunnen.

Omnium virtutum et integritatis exempla ex historicis satis apparent quae abunde declarant omnes terras, omnes denique gentes, et Civitates animi integrirate, virtute, et strenuitate conservari, contra autem ignavia omnia collabi. Regnum Assyriorum, quod fuit omnium primum a rege Nino originem traxit, atque per triginta sex reges feliciter annis 1240 gubernatum. Verum capessente regnum Sardanapalo Rege Assyriorum ultimo, collapsum est, nam veneri et voluptatibus plus operam dedit, quam ut sui Imperii curam susciperet: in tantum vitiis immersus, ut omnis generis virtutes respueret, et contemptui essent. Inde contigit ut eius aulici, qui erant Regi a Consiliis omnes ab eo deficerent, et subditi eum summo odio prosequerentur, nec ullis rebus obsequerentur, in partes dissecti conspirantes, Regem tandem regno pepulerunt. Itaque regnum Assyriorum ignavia Sardanapali concidit. Is autem cum regia exercitia agere debebat, frequenter in Gymnecaeo inventus est inter mulierculas pensum trahens, ante obitum fieri sibi monumentum, et statuam curavit, cui epitaphum Assyriis Litteris huiusmodi iscribi iussit, Sardanapale Anacydaraxis fili, ede, bibe lude et cum te mortalem noris, praesentubis exple animum, post mortem nulla voluptas. Unde studiosus lector facilime cognoscere poterit, quantum fortes, virtutisque studiosi, et ignavi different in rerum publicarum gubernaculis sustinendis. Xerxes Persarum Rex posque Babylonem, quae defecerat, un suam potestatem recipisset animo voluens, qua nam ratione tantam, tamque potentem urbem posset obtinere, ne denuo descisceret, praecepit omnibus eius urbis civibus, ut essent inermes, nulla exercitia Athletica in posterum exercerent [014r] edixit: at econtra permissit, ut commessationes quotidianas adiernt, musicam exercerent, veneri operam darent, tunicas multas habentes plicas gestarent. Id autem ea ratione factum est, ut eos prorsus ad arma gerenda inhabiles redderet, inde si voluptatibus essent prorsus dediti, nullam fortitudinis rationem habentes, facilius eos posset cohercere, quod quidem Regem non fefellit. |

That God must hate the slothful is evident from the example of Gideon, as God would have his glory and victory over the Midianites not by means of the slothful, of whom there were entire troops, but by the valiant, keen and expert, of whom there were hardly three hundred, and who brought the water to the mouth with their hands. Saint David praised God the almighty many times, so that he might lend him grace and strength, and that his fingers would be ready to make war on his enemies.[31] He also says how his help or hope are not in his sword, bow or arrow, but his hope is in the Lord. But for this he does not throw away his sword nor his arrow or bow, but he makes use of them as [instruments?] of God, by which God would show his glory, which example, then, is also appropriate to any pious and honest Christian fencer, namely that he remember to not spare his body in the time of need, for the faith and the true religion, against the Turks and infidels and for the freedom of the fatherland, for the protection and defense of widows and orphans, and that he should at all times employ the knightly art to such praiseworthy ends. |
Das gott aber die faulen hasse · wirt auß dem Exempel Vedionis wol offenbar · dann gott sein herrlichkait vnnd Sig an den Madianitern nicht durch die faulen · deren ganntz hauffen verhannden waren · sonder durch die endlichen kecken vnnd kundigen · deren kaum dreihundert was · vnnd das wasser mit der hand zu dem mund zu trincken · prachten · haben wolt · Der hailig Dauid lobet Gott den almechtigen zu vilmalen · das er Ime gnad vnnd sterckh verlihen · das seine finger wider seine feind zu streiten berait sein Er sagt auch wie das sein hilff oder hoffnung nit stand Inn seinem schwert · bogen oder pfeil · sunder sein hoffnung stee Inn den herrn · Er wirfft aber weder seine schwerter noch pfeil oder bogen von Im hinweg · sonder gebraucht sich dern alls ainer Munemeÿ · [016r] gottes · darunder Gott sein herrlichkait erzaigen werd · Welchs dann ainnem Jeden Christenlichen fromen redlichen fechter · auch billichen zu steet · Namlich das er gedenncke das er Inn der zeit der nott · fur den glauben vnnd ware Religion · wider den Turcken vnnd vnglaubigen · auch fur die Freÿhait des vatterlannds · zu schutz vnnd schirm · witwen vnnd waisen · seinen Leib mitnichten sparen · vnnd die Ritterliche Kunst Jeder zeit zu solchen loblichen sachen gebrauchen wölle |
Das Gott aber die faulen hasse, wirt aus dem Exempel Gedionis wol offenbar. Dann Gott sein herrlichkait und sig an den Madianitern, nicht durch die faulen, deren gantze hauffen vorhanden waren, sonder durch die endlich kecken, und kundigen, deren kaum dreihundert was, und das wasser mit der hand zu dem mund zutrincken brachten, haben wolt. Der hailig David [014*v] lobet Gott den Allmechtigen zu vilmalen, das er im gnad unnd sterck verlihen, das seine finger wider seine feind zustreitten berait sein. Er sagt auch wie das sein hilff oder hoffnung nitt stand in seinem schwert, bogen oder pfeil, sonder sein hoffnung stee in dem herren. Er würfft aber weder seine schwerted noch pfeil oder pogen von im hinwegck, sonder gebraucht sich deren als ainer Munemey Gottes, darunder Gott sein herrlichkait erzaigen werd, welchs dann ainem jeden Christenlichen frommen redlichen fechter, auch billichen zusteet, nemlich, das er gedencke. das er in der zeit der not, für den glauben und ware religion, wider die Türcken unnd unglaubigen, auch für die fraihait des vatterlands, zu schutz und schirm witwen unnd waisen, seinen leib mit nichten sparen, unnd die ritterliche kunst jeder zeit zu solchen loblichenn sachen gebrauchen wölle. |
Quod autem Deus ignavos odio prosequatur, exemplo Gedeonis manifestum est. Et Davidis, qui saepius Deo omnipotenti gratias ingentes egit, qui gratiam sibi et fortitudinem largitus esset, ut vires manuum contra hostem in promptu fuerint paratae, multis etiam locis affirmat, auxilium et spem suam non in armis consistere, verum a Deo pendere. Sed tamen neque arma neque arcus et tela reiecit, verum iis tanquam minumentis divinis est usus, quibus Deus potentiam suam ostensurus esset. Qua spe quilibet strenuus Athleta niti debet, qui verae et Catholicae religionis sit studiosus: atque animo proponat se pro fide Catholica et religione si necessitas expostulet, strenue pugnaturum contra Turcas incredulos, tum etiam pro libertate patriae, in viduarum liberorumque et orborum defensionem. |

In this way, form and manner I have undertaken the knightly exercise of the sword, and did learn fencing with various weapons and properly tried it in various schools, and in it I did find such pleasure and love that I have undertaken to make this knightly honour-book. But what pains and labour I had with it throughout fully four years, every judicious reader of this book will well see and recognize; I did not allow myself to be put to shame by any cost, neither by pains nor labour that I did invest in it. I have included not without special reverence many old and new illustrated plays, which I have adopted from princes and lords, Jews and Christians and old fencing-masters. And much I had to purchase. From these I drew only the very best and most suitable to the art, and these said plays in all weapons as are contained in this book I let be practiced and fenced again and again by two brave and doughty fencers, who shared my desire and love for the knightly art, who did receive no small reward. And these same with all plays and articles I let be written down properly and assiduously, as is seen in each weapon and from play to play in this book (which is divided in two parts and equipped and adorned with additional very usable registers) [I am] in the certain hope that the proper lovers of this knightly art will put this knightly art-book to the best use and with grateful spirit shall be willing towards the Almighty for all well-being of body and soul, to which end I wish and desire for all honest and art-loving fencers the strength and the grace of God the Almighty. Amen. |

Athleticam igitur ipse didici, eamque publice in palaestris saepissime exercui, unde tanta voluptate affectus sum, ut colligerem gladiatorum habitus varios, eosque praestantiores duntaxat, atque in libros duos redigerem certis formis, eosque duobus iustissimis Indicibus exornavi. Qui autem labores mihi fuerint subeundi per totum quadriennium? Quo partim a principibus, partim aliis heroibus atque solertissimis gladiatoribus eos quasi extorsi non citra magnam rei meae familiaris [014v] iacturam: neque vero umquam sumptuum et molestiarum poenitebit, modo conspexero me omnibus Athleticam magno amore prosequentibus gratum fecisse. Hi autem habitus quo etiam essent probatiores, duos gladiatores artis peritissimos adhibui, qui pariter mecum eos comprobarent habitus, et postquam eos iustos et optimos esse conperimus, tum primum ut pote probatos depingi et describi curavi, etiam eos Athletas magnis muneribus sum remuneratus, divisi autem librum in duo volumina, quibus quam accuratissime indices iustissimos adieci et utilissimos, ut est videre. Non dubito quin ii qui Athletica magnopere delectantur, hoc libro, quo omnem armorum habitus et formae sunt conscriptae diligentissime, ut usum suae salutis et patriae defendendae causa sint usuri, atque ingentes gratias Deo optimus Maximus pro corporis et animae salute sin acturi, quibus gratiam et fortitudinem Deus per filium suum unicum concedat atque largiatur. |

The sword is the age-old main piece, which is also held in much knightly practice by Jews, heathens, and Christians, and in which even today mastery is attempted. For which [136] instances with much variety, breaks, and hews to the highest art are included, with poses and narrative. |

||||
The dussack, which the ancients called knife (Messer), and which the good people of Sparta used intensively and through it achieved great honour, has 44 instances with poses and narrative. |
Der Tusegk wellichen die Allten Messer genannt haben · Vnd sich das Redlich volckh · die Sparthaner dessen vast gebraucht · vnnd dardurch grosse Ehr eingelegt haben · hat schrifftlich vnd mit bössen 40 · stend Inn sich hallten · |

||||
The short staff has its origin with the Romans and Persians, is used instead of the short spear (Schäfflin) and has [22] good instances in the book. |
Das Stennglin hat seinen vrsprung von den Römern vnnd Persiern · wirt an Stat der Schefftlin gebraucht · hatt gar guter stend · 18 · Inn Im begriffen · |
·3· Das Stenglin hat seinen ursprung uon den Rỏmern unnd Persiern, wirt an stat der scheftlin gebraucht, hat gar gutter stend ·22· Inn Im begriffen, |

||||
The long pike, now a formidable fighting tool, but not very old, has 12 plays in the book. |
[017r] Der lanng spieß der Zeit ain prächtlich Fechten · aber an den Jaren nit vast allt · hat Inn Im · 12 · stuckh · |

||||
The halberd, a very old weapon first invented by the fighting women called Amazons, is described and depicted with 20 good poses. |
Die hellenparten · gar ain allte whor · haben die Kriegsweiber · so man Amatzones genennt hatt · erstlich erfunden · Ist mit · 20 · guten stenden geschriben vnnd possiert worden · |
·5· Die hellenbarn gar ein alte wher, haben die kriegßweiber, so man Amazones genent hat, erstlich erfunden, Ist mit ·20· gutten stenden beschriben unnd possiert worden, |
Bipennis antiquissimis usus, quod Amazonum inventum dicitur, continet .20. Optimos habitus, itidem ut in aliis factum, imaginibus depictos. |
||||
The ancients have also applied an art of fencing to the scythe, which also has its special attack and defence, of which in this book you will see 10 instances. |
Es haben · die allten ain kunst des Fechtens mit der Segens gehallten · hat auch sein besondere versatzung vnnd vortail · hatt stennd Inn Ir wie gsehen wirt · 10 · |
·6· Es haben die alten ein kunst des fechtens mit der Segenß gehalten, hat auch sein besondere uersatung unnd uortail, hat · · Stend In Ir wie gesehen wirt, |
[015v] Antiqui etiam utebantur Athletica, qua falcem foenariam exercerent, quae et ipsa industria quadam regitur, 10 habitus complectitur. |
||||
Then there is also and old weapon which the Sarmatians, Huns, and other peoples used for ages called the flail, of which the book holds 8 plays. |
Noch ist ain allten Gewhör · welliche die Sarmati · hunos vnnd andre vulcker vor Jaren gebraucht haben · der Trischel genannt · hellt Inn Im · 8 · stuckh begriffen · |
·7· Noch ist ein alte gewher, welche die Sarmati · Hunos, unnd andere uỏlcker, uor Jarn gebrauchtt haben, der Drischel genant, helt in Im ·8· stuck begriffen, |
Alii inde habitus consequuntur, quibus Sarmate et hunni frequenter sunt usi antiquitus, exercituum nimirum tribuli, quo frumenti grana siliquis excutiuntur, cuius .8. sunt habitus. |
||||
The peasant staff is a weapon when in straits; it’s not that someone will lose his life by it, but it provides relief in defence, in this book 8 plays. |
Die Baurstang Ist ain gewhör Inn der not · nicht das ainer dardurch das leben verliere · aber zu ainer gögenwhor tröstlich · hellt Inn Ir · 8 · stuckh |

||||
Further weapon against weapon, as when one is overtaken without warning or unawares, in this book [36] serious and well thought-out plays. |
Item whör gögen whör · als da ainer den andern etwann vngewarnet oder vnuersehens ÿbereilt · gar ernstlich vnnd gut · hellt Inn Im · 12 · stuckh · |
·9· Item wher wider wher, als da ainer den andern etwan angewarnet, oder onuersehens ubereilt, gar ernstlich unnd gut, helt In Im ·12· Stuck, |
Varia arma contra variis armis utentes, cum quis ex improviso obruitur se possit defendere sunt autem formae eorum .12. |
||||
In the same vein regarding the sickle, fencing in which brings 16 plays into the book. |
[017v] Deßgleÿchen Inn der Sichel auch · weliches Fechten bis In · 16 · stuckh mit sich bringt · |
·10· Deßgleichen Inn der Sichel auch, Weliches fechtenn bis Inn ·16· Stuck mit sich bringet, |
Falcis frumentariae effigies sunt .16. |
||||
The dagger has its origin with the ancient Germans and is also referred to as "awl" in the law of Hermann the German King; in a tight spot it is a dangerous weapon, which takes a lively, courageous man and has many attacks which serve the preservation of life, of which [64] plays follow each other in this book. |
Der Tolch hatt seinen vrsprung · von den vrallten Teutschen · wirt auch Inn dem gesatz Hermam der Teutschen Kunig · pfriemen genannt · vnd ist Inn der not ain ernstliche whör · muß ainnen kecken vnerschrocknen Man haben · hatt vil vortails · so zu der erhalltung des lebens diennet · Inn sich · diser stuckh send · 44 · wie sie dann nachainannder volgen · |
[015*v] ·11· Der Tolch hat seinen ursprung uon den urallten Teutschen, wirt auch in dem gesatz Hermanni der Teutschen künig, pfriemen genant, Unnd ist in der not ein ernstliche wher, muß ainen kecken unerschrocknen mann haben, hat uil uortails, so zu der erhaltung des lebens dienet, Inn sich, Diser Stuckh seind wie sie dann nacheinander uolgen, |

Continet autem habitus .48. |
||||
Out of dagger comes wrestling, which are taught and learnt together and one through the other; in sum, it includes defences and plays which are very important and which soon lead to victory or death, and of these wrestling plays there are [130]. |
Auß dem Tolchen kumbt das Ringen · vnnd werden vast · mit vnd durch ainannder geregiert vnd gelernet · Inn Summa es send gewhören vnd stuckh · die ain grossen ernst Inn sich haben · vnd dem man gar bald den sig · oder den tod furdern · diser Ringenstuckh seind · 106 · |
·12· Aus dem Tolchen kumbt das Ringen, unnd werden uast mit unnd durcheinander geregiertt und gelernet, Summa, Es seind gewhern unnd stuck, die ein grossen ernst in sich haben, unnd den Mann gar bald dem sig oder den tod furdern, Diser Ringenstuck seind ·1 |
[016r] Luctarum varie species ex habitibus pugionis oriuntur, quae saepius commiscerentur, atque simul plerique addiscuntr, qui quidem habitus maxime sunt ad defensionem, vel alteri mortem inferendam excogitati, quarum species sunt .106. |
||||
Then the fight with the buckler in the Italian[33] fashion with the side-sword,[34] this book has [56] instances.[35] |
Item der kampff mit der Rundellen · vast auf Welsche Manier mit dem Rapier · hellt Inn · 46 · stennd · |
·13· Item der kampff mit der Rundeln, uast auff welsche moniere mitt dem Rappier, helt Inn, Stend ,. |
Dimicationes pedestres, inquibus utimur clypeis orbicularibus et ensibus Hispanis, more Italorum, habitus sunt .56. |
||||
The poleaxe (Mordagst) was also invented and used by the aforementioned Amazons, and it is surprising to hear that two such important weapons had their origin with this female tribe, and I would have doubted it if Aventinus and many others had not convincingly reported so. This poleaxe has in the book 16 serious plays. |
Die Mordagst ist auch gleicherweis von den vorbemellten Amazones erfunden vnnd gebraucht worden · vnnd ist ain wunder zu hören · das soliche zwo ernstliche ge= [018r] whỏrn · von dem Weiblichen stammen Iren anfanng haben sollen vnnd were mir auch schier zweifelhafftig zu glauben · wa nit Auentinius, vnnd anndre · mer glaubhafftig dauon geschriben hetten · dise Mordagst hellt Inn Ir ernstliche stuckh · 16 · |
·14· Die Mordagst ist auch gleicherweiß uon dem uorbemelten Amazones erfunden unnd gebraucht worden, unnd ist ein wunder zu hỏren, Das soliche zwo ernstliche gewohern, uon dem weiplich Stammen, Iren anfang haben sollen, unnd were mur auch schier zweiffelhafftig zuglauben, wa nit Auentinius, unnd andere mer, so glaubhafftig dauon geschriben hetten, Dise Mordagst helt in Ir ernstliche Stuck ·16· |
Secures letales ab Amazonibus item repertas esse ferunt, atque iis usas verum mirabile est auditu a muliebri sexu tam letalia duo arma esse inventa. Multi etiam incredibile videretur, ni Aventinus veritatis studiosissimus pluresque alii ea de re scripsissent, ea continet .16. habitus. |
||||
Similarly the fight with the long shield and spear is set forth in 16 plays. |
Dergleichen wirt der kampff mit der Tartschen vnnd spieß In · 16 · stucken herfur gethan · |
·16· Dergleichen wirt der kampff mit der schneidenden Tartschen unnd Spieß, Inn ·16· stucke herfurgethan, |
Dimicatio, qua scutis utimur, complectitur .16. |
||||
The fight in armour on foot has [86] instances. |
Der kampff Im Harnasch zu fuoß hatt 76 stennd · |
·17· Der kampff im harnasch zufuß, hat ·86· Stend, |
Dimicatio, ubi armis induti Athletae concertant, status habet .86. |
||||
There are still many good plays regarding the fight and prove great manliness, that is the mounted fight, comprising [73] quite artful plays. |
Noch send etliche gute stuckh · die den kampff betreffen vnnd grosse Manhait anzaigen · vnnd ist der kampff zu Roß · hellt Inn sich · 58 · stuckh gar kunstlich |
·15· Noch seind etliche gutte Stuck, die den kampff betreffe, unnd grosse Mannhait anzaigenn, Erstlich ist der kampff zu Roß, helt in sich ·7 · Stuck gar kunstlich, |
Sequitur dimicatio equestris, exercitium dignissimum, perstantissimumque, in quo virtute non exigua opus est, ea continet .73. |
||||
Injunction to and instruction on a fighter’s mood, and of which disposition he should be, follow hereafter. Whosoever wants to engage in the knightly art of fencing, in whichever arms they may be, fighting mounted or on foot, he must have these attitude or attributes, to whit, if he wants to perform the plays, he shall have four qualities, that is strong as a courageous lion, keen-eyed as an eagle, fast as a lynx and cunning as a fox. Who has just one of these qualities in him will not be easily cheated and his superiority not easily surrendered. For therewith he may prove and achieve his manliness in the knightly art to his own praise. But if he has none of these in him, he will not achieve much of note or honour, except to suffer great injury, along with the scorn and the ignominy. |
[18v] Ermanung vnd erzelung ainnes Fechters gemuet · vnnd mit was aigenschafft er sein soll etc volgt hernach Wer sich Inn die Ritterlich Kunst der Fechtereÿ begeben will · es seÿ In was wehren · es seÿ · auch Im Ringen · kempffen zu Rỏß oder zu fuoß · der muoß dise art oder aigenschafft an Im haben · namlich · so er die stuckh treiben will · so soll er mit vier dingen begabt sein · namlich starckh wie ain vnuerzagter leo · Scharpffsichtig wie ain Adler · Schnell wie ain Luchs · vnnd listig wie ain Fuchs · Wa nun ainer dise oberzelte art an Im hette · wirt er nit leichtlich betrogen · vnd seinen vortail auch nit leichtlich ÿbergeben · dann darmit mag er sein mandlichait mit der Ritterlichen kunst zu seinnem lob erzaigen · vnnd erlanngen · Wa aber ainner diser ding kains an Im hette · so wurd er nit vil nutz oder Ehr erlanngen · sunder nur grossen schaden empfahen mitsampt dem spot vnnd schanden · |
[16v] Exhortatio ad gladiatores, quibus dotibus praeditos esse necesse sit quove animo. Quicunque Athleticae studiosus esse cupit eaque arma quae sequuntur honeste tractare, sive pedestribus sive equestribus pugnis, his dotibus quattuor eum praeditum esse oportet: fortes Leonum strenuorum more, Visum habeat acutum veluti Aquilae feroces: velox uti lynx, Astutus ut vulpes. Si quis igitur in his modo commemoratis virtutibus excellat is haud falletur facile verum eas palam exerceat ad suam gloriam. Sin autem quis carens iis dotibus gladiatoriam discere conaretur, Exiguam gloriae speciem vel potius nullam inde consequetur. |
|||||
Now follow the plays, and the sword first hereafter. |
Nun volgen die stuckh · vnnd das Schwert am ersten hernacher · |
||||||
Of the three structures[36] Three things are to be closely focussed on, in mounted fighting or on foot, that is the three structures, the upper, middle and lower structure, that is: If you are standing high with both thighs together upright in the highest stance, that is Upper Structure. But if you are medium low, that is the Middle Structure. But if you stand low, that is the Lower Structure. With this teaching you need to be familiar, so you know what the structure is or how to execute it. |
[019r] Von den dreÿ Wagen Dreÿ ding seind Inn allem Fechten vnnd Ringen · auch Im kampff zu Roß vnnd zu fuoß · Inn guter acht zu haben Namlich der dreÿ wagen · der Obern · mitlen · vnnd vnndern wag · das ist · so du hoch mit baiden Schenncklen zusamen auffrecht In der höche stäst · das haist die Oberwag · Stastu aber mittelmessig nider · das haist die mitel wag · stastu aber nider · das haist die vnnder wag · Diser leer mustu aber auch bericht sein · damit du wissest was die wag seÿ oder wie man sich darein schicken soll · |
||||||
The six vulnerabilities of the human body There are six vulnerabilities with every person, which every fencer shall have in good practice, memory and knowledge, that is one vulnerability on the tip of your chin, one in the front of your throat, one behind each elbow, one in front at the fist, one in the middle of the arm and in the back of each knee. So these are the six vulnerabilities of each human, which a practiced [fencer] can exploit from one advantage to the next, and can work from as he pleases. |
Die sechs Schweche~ Es sennd Sechs Schwechen an ainem Jeden Mentschen · das soll ain Jeder Fechter Inn guter Übung vnnd gedechtnuß haben vnnd wissen · Namlich ist ain [019v] Schweche vornen am kin · aine vornen am Hals · aine hinder baiden Elnpogen · aine vornen beÿ der faust · aine in der mitt des Arms · vnnd Inn Jeder Kniepuge aine · das send allso die Sechs Schwechen des mentschen · das ain geiebter auß ainem vortail Inn den anndern kan kumen Vnnd darauß arbaiten nach seiner glegenhait · |
De sex partibus humani corporis infirmioribus. In corpore humano sex partes sunt quae reliquis infirmiores existunt, quas quemlibet pugilem nosse magnopere necesse erit: mentum, anterior pars colli, musculi secundum cubitum brachii utriusque existentes, iunctura manuum, medietas brachiorum, Ultima pars, poples uterque. His itaque cognititis quivis Athleta superaturus est facile eum qui earum nullam habet cognitionem. |
|||||
Assume one [fencer] not familiar with these six vulnerabilities, he will not achieve much, whereas otherwise he is able to artfully defeat an attacker by taking advantage of these six vulnerabilities. These six vulnerabilities are to be sought on the right and on the left side of every person. |
Wa · nun ainer Diser oberzelten Sechs Schwechen nit bericht ist · wirt er nit vil aussrichten · so er sunst ainem sein furnemen auß disen sechs Schwechen Kunstlich brechen kan · Dise Sechs schwechen send an der rechten vnnd lincken seiten zu suchen · an ainem Jeden mentschen · / |
Eas igitur qui ignorat, adversus adversarium suum infeliciter pugnabit, nam ex earum scientia facile omnem hostis conatum Athletae infringunt: eae autem partes in latere utroque investigari solent. |

[1] The Zornhaw against the Thrust It happens that you stand with the Zornhaw ("Wrath Strike") with the left foot forward. Then follow after with the right and hit him strongly from above to the left side. If he deflects this, then strike nimbly to the next opening. If he strikes you wrathfully like this, then wind against the Zornhaw in the Hanging Point and let your point properly go forward shooting in to the face or chest. If he perceives this thrust, then drive with the sword well up over your head, spring with your right foot to his left side and cut him with the Zwirchhaw to the head. If he strikes towards your head like this with the Zwirchhaw with crossed arms, then displace this with your long edge, then immediately yank back your sword[37] and wind your point from your left side to his face or chest. |

[2] The Krumphaw from Both Sides When you come to the closing with the opponent, set the left foot forward and hold your sword with the point at your right side and remain hence standing in the Krumphaw ("Crooked/Off-line strike"). If he then strikes you from above to an opening, step outward with your right foot and give him a Krump to his right side and strike him at the nearest opening. If he gives you a Krump like this and you stand with your right foot forward likewise in the Krumphaw, then step in with your left leg and displace his strike with your long edge. Then immediately follow outward with the right foot and drop a Krump onto his sword with your short edge and with that cut through his head. |

[3] The Zwirchhaw from Both Sides When you come to the closing with the opponent, stand with the right foot forward such that the short edge is wound towards you. Then follow outward with your left leg and strike the Zwirchhaw ("Across Strike") with crossed arms. If he displaces this, then wind in the weak and strike him long to the upper opening. If rather you stand with the left foot forward and likewise lie against him in the Zwirch with crossed arms, then follow outward with your right foot and turn your hand so that the flat of the sword stands in front of him and strike with the Zwirch in towards his left ear. If he displaces your Zwirch, then let a double feint pass and strike him to the top of his head on the right side. |

[4] The Schillerhaw ("Squinting Strike") from Both Sides When you come to the closing with the opponent, set your left leg out in front such that the short edge is wound under. Then step out with your right foot, wind your pommel beneath your right arm and set upon him with the point. If he sets upon you with the point like this, then displace it and immediately wind in the Zwirch, hang with your sword against the Zwirch on your right side and step out with the left foot. Then wind the point in between his arms such that the short edge stays on top.[37] If he winds his point in between your arms like this, then set this aside with your long edge. With that press downward and let the weak run and strike him with the long edge to his head. |

[5] Schaitlerhaw Stand with the left leg in front and lift your sword above your head with extended arms.[37] Then spring in towards him with the right foot and strike with the long edge directly to the top of his head. Then sink the point downward to his face or chest.

[9] The Strong and Weak with Which to Instantly Note Evenness You stand with the right foot forward and bind his sword with your Schweche ("weak"). Then determine whether he is soft or hard at his sword. When he is soft at the sword drop down on his left side, step out with your left leg, and Zuck ("yank") all hits you will throw at the opponent. When you stand opposite him likewise in the weak and he does the Zucken ("yank") against you, then step back with your right foot and strike a Creizhaw ("Crossing Strike") to his right ear. If he displaces your Creizhaw, then drop down and shoot the point double to the face and with that strike his head from above. If he hits towards your head like this, then do not displace this. Rather step away from the strike to his right side and Zwirch to his head. |

[10] A Nachraisen ("Traveling After") with a Cut You stand with your left foot forward in the Unterhau ("Upward Strike") and he adheres to your hands from above.[37] So step outward with your right foot and drop a Krump on him at your left side. If he drops a Krump on you and you stand with your left foot forward, then drop down quickly and step out with your right leg. With that strike him from above to the right side of his head. When he displaces this, strike him from below to his left side with your long edge. Then immediately step back and strike him from above a long one to the head. If he travels after, then set the point in his chest. If he sets aside your point, then strike with extended arms back away from him. If he strikes back away from you like this, then travel after him double with cuts and strikes from above and below, whatever he makes you do. |

[15] A High and a Low Nachraisen You stand with your left leg forward and your sword at your right chest with the long edge turned towards the opponent.[37] Step in with your right leg, drop down on his left side and strike him there with your long edge. You then stand with the right foot forward, so take away the strike with the half edge, follow outward with the left leg and strike to his right ear. Should he perceive this strike and displace it, wind the Zwirch to his left side and then immediately drop down and strike him again to the left side. If he strikes double towards you like this, displace this with your long edge, then immediately step outward with your right leg and cut to his neck with the short edge. With that turn the long edge on him and cut to his head and his body. |

[16] An Uberlauffen ("Running Over") with a Sword Capture You do an extended strike while stepping in with the right leg and he likewise strikes in high. Step outward with your left leg, wind your pommel to your right side in over his arm[45] and jerk inward to your right side so that you capture his sword.[37] If he intends to capture your sword like this, then set your left leg in front of his right, release your sword to him and forcefully and quickly thrust to his left shoulder as you jerk his right leg backwards with your left. Thus you throw him forward onto his face. If he will throw you onto your face like this, then yank your right leg at once towards you and step behind your left as you cut to his head. If he intends to cut you like this and has both swords, then grab his left elbow with your right hand and his left knee with your left hand. Thus you throw him over and over. |

If he strikes towards you like this, then wind your pommel in over his arm as you pivot to your left side,[45] thus you capture his sword.[37] If he intends to capture your sword like this, then set your right foot in front of his left and quickly throw him. Or set your left hand high upon him and yank the right against you. Thus you lock his arm. If he will lock your arm like this, then let your sword drop, grab his right hand with your left and under his right shoulder with your right and capture him at the shoulder. Thus you may throw him or carry him away with an armlock. |

[18] The Oberhaw with the Sword Capture When you come to the closing with the opponent, set your right leg forward, follow outward with the right leg and strike long to his head. If you strikes towards you like this and you stand with your left foot forward, then displace his Oberhaw ("Downward Strike"), step outward with your right foot or leg and grab inward over his right arm with your left to his hilt.[37] Then travel towards your left side so that his sword is captured. If he has captured your sword like this, then set your left hand on his right elbow and the right on his left, and with that shove him away from you. If he shoves you away from him like this, then let both swords drop and immediately spring turning backwards, run your pommel between his legs with extended arms, and with that lift upward and stand him on his head. |

[21] A High and a Low Einschiessen ("Shooting In") So you stand with your right foot forward and he is opposite you with his left and shoots the point in against your face or chest. Strike high over his position to his head,[37] then step outward with your left leg, hang and with that wind to the next opening. If he then hangs and winds towards your head, step with your right leg in front of his left and strike towards the left side. If he should perceive this strike, then step back with your left leg and wind him the hanging point such that your hilt stands before your head. Then immediately step in with your left leg again and wind him your point with crossed hands from your left towards the right side of his face. If he displaces this, then follow outward with your right leg and strike him high directly with your long edge. |

[22] A Thrust with the Pflug Abzunemen ("Parry Position") You stand with your left foot forward with arms extended in front of your face such that the point stands opposite your opponent. Then step outward with your right foot and wind the point into his face. Should you stand opposite him in the Pflug with the right foot forward and perceive this thrust,[37] then follow outward with your left foot and wind the point out on your right side and then strike him at the upper opening. Should he perceive this strike and displace it, then strike with the Zwirch to his right side with crossed arms. If he strikes towards your right side like this, set your right foot forward and hang the blade at the right side so that he strikes it. Then immediately follow outward with your left leg and strike to his upper opening. If he strikes high towards you like this, displace this with your long edge as you drive out in front of your head. Then set the edge on his left arm near your crossguard and with that shove him on his right side. Thus you may cut him as well. |

[23] Two Thrusts from which One goes into Winding You stand with the right foot forward and fire the point at the opponent.[37] Then follow outward with your left leg and wind the point in the face or chest with extended arms. If he displaces this, then step backwards with your left leg and wind into the Prechfennster ("Speaking Window") such that your hilt stands before your head. If he lies in the Prechfennster like this, wind the point in his face out of the Rosen ("Rose") such that your right foot stands forward, then step outward with your left leg, set your right foot behind his left and wind with the short edge to his head. Then immediately strike with the long edge to his right arm. If he strikes towards your right arm like this, follow outward with your left foot and set a Krump onto his sword and with that cut to his head and body. Should he cut towards you like this, then bite another Krump and with that strike to his next opening. |

[24] A Durchlauffen ("Run Through") with a Ringen ("Grapple") When you come to the closing with the opponent, strike high to his head as you step inward with your right foot in front of his right. If he displaces this, then let your sword fall over behind your back, run your head through his right arm, grab with your right hand around his body towards his left side and with your left hand to the back of his right knee.[50] Thus you throw him. If you will break this, then let your sword fall and drop your right arm high over his left. Thus you may lift him with that. If he has grabbed you like this, then yank your right leg back, release your right hand from his body and grab behind his right knee with it. Then thrust with your left hand into his chest. Thus you throw him back. |

[27] A Thrust out of the Hacken ("Leg Hook") When you come to the opponent at the closing, step in with your right foot and strike high to his head. If he then strikes one like this towards you, displace it and yank his right leg towards you with your left.[51] Then release the left hand from your sword, go in under his right arm and set upon his chin. With that thrust him high away from you.[37] If he then sets upon your chin like this and will throw you, let your sword drop and take the right arm and set it on his left elbow.

[28] An Entry with a Grapple You come to the closing with the opponent, so set your right leg forward and strike high and long to his head. Then release your left hand from your sword and set it on his right elbow, follow outward with your left leg and shove him away from you. If he shoves you away from him like this and you stand with your left foot forward, then drop your left arm onto his right[37] and wind his right arm under your shoulder. Set your right front in front of his left, go under his neck with your right arm, and wrench your sword pommel downward. If he intends to wrench you downward with his pommel, then press with your neck so that he wrenches around further. Then immediately drop your pommel over his left arm, take it again low with your left hand and with that push strongly downward. Thus you cut him through his head. |

[29] A Throw at the Sword When you come to the closing with the opponent Zwirch high to his head with your long edge, then let your sword drop and grab between his arms with your right hand to his neck around on his right side. Then immediately step with your left leg behind his left and yank low towards yourself (as in illustration). With that throw him to your right side. If he has trapped you like this high and low and intends to throw you, then press his arm with your arms together. Thus you counter him. If he has trapped your arm like this and intends to counter you, then step inward with your right foot in front of his left and immediately pull your arm powerfully from him and take his sword out of his hand. With that turn to your right side and cut him with the long edge from above. |

[30] An Uberlauffen with a Grapple When you go to close with the opponent stand with your left foot forward and strike him with a Krump. Then follow outward with your right leg and Zwirch to the other side. Should he perceive your Zwirch and displace it, drop both your hands between his arms such that your right hand stands high on his hilt and pass your left hand under his right around to the pommel. With that pull him towards you. If he then pulls you towards himself like this, step with your right foot behind his left and let your sword drop. Then grab with your left hand under his left thigh and with your right forward on his neck. Then immediately throw him swiftly behind you. |

[31] A Grapple with a Cut When you go to close with the opponent stand with your right foot forward and strike him to the top of the head. If he then strikes against you, displace this and strike him with crossed arms in towards the right side of his head. If he then strikes you one like this, displace his strike, let your sword drop and step outward with your right foot in front of his right. He lets his sword drop to cut through the face or wherever he may, so grab his right elbow with your right hand and with your left forward on the same.[37] Thus with that you lock his arm. Then immediately yank towards yourself so you may also throw him. |

[32] An Underhaw with a Sword Capture When you come to the opponent at the closing, strike with the Underhaw ("low strike") stepping forward with your right foot such that the long edge stands upwards, then follow outward with your left leg and shoot the point double to the face or chest. If he displaces the thrust, then drop down in the Underhaw such that your hilt stands before your head. If he stands like this in front of you, then set the Krump on his sword such that your right foot stands forward, grab both blades with your left hand high in front[37] and with that pull from your right to your left side. Thus you capture his sword. If he intends to capture your sword like this, release it, step outward with your right leg, grab his right elbow with your left hand and the back of his right knee with your right hand and with that lift directly upwards. Thus you thrust him backwards. |

[33] An Einfallen ("Dropping In") with a Cut You strike with the Windthaw ("winding/turning strike") and then turn out of it into a low cut towards his right side. Should you perceive this cut, step in with your right foot and shove the cut out with your long edge. As you do this drop your long edge between his hands onto the hilt and immediately invert the right hand and sweep his sword down with the half blade the same as yours[37] and subsequently yank it out of his hands. Then cut in high or low and you have both swords. If he will then cut like this towards you and has both swords held together, release your hands from your sword and step behind his right leg with your left and grab his waist with extended arms. Thus you throw him with both swords together. |

[34] A Cut through the Hand You come to the closing with the opponent, so set your right leg forward and from here you will strike to the high opening. Then immediately drop down and strike again low to his right side. If he displaces this, then step behind his right leg with your left and wind the Zwirch out to strike to his high opening such that your hilt stands in front of your head. If he then strikes high towards you like this and you stand with your right foot forward, release your right hand from your hilt and grab with it to the half blade and with the left hand pull up to the cross. With that displace his strike on the sword blade between your hands and sweep his sword blade low and high with both your hands,[37] then with that turn to your left side so that you cut him. |

[35] Two Cuts from Above and from Below When you come to the closing with the opponent stand with your right foot forward and strike him with the Wechsel ("Changing strike"). Then wind into the right Fligelhaw ("Flying strike") such that your hilt stands in front of your head. Set upon him with the cut to his left side over both of his arms. If he has set upon you with a cut like this, then step in with your left leg and set your strong outward onto both of his arms.[37] Thus you counter his low cut with your high. Then follow outward with your right foot and drop a Krump over his arm. If he does a Krump to you like this, then let the weak of your sword run, step in with your left foot and strike with the long edge high to his head. Then turn your short edge on his neck and shove him away from you. Thus he may come to no more work before you. |

[36] Two Lannge Orter ("Longpoint") out of the Long Cut When you come to the opponent step in with your right leg and strike him with your long edge to his right arm.[37] If he displaces this, then wind into the Hanging Point such that the hilt stands in front of your head, step to your left side with your left foot and strike him with the Creizhaw ("Crossing strike") to his right side with crossed arms. If he strikes against you like this and you stand with your left foot forward, set his strike aside with the short edge, follow outward with your right foot and strike to the top of his head. If he strikes towards your high opening like this and you stand with your left foot forward, displace this with your long edge, follow outward with your right leg and Zwirch him to the left side of his head. Should you perceive this strike coming around, take it away with the Krumphaw and strike high to his head with the long cut. |

[37] A High Cut with the Schaitler When you come to the closing with the opponent step forward with your left foot and strike a long one over both of his arms to his right side.[52] Thus you may cut him low or high. If he then strikes towards you one like this and you stand with your left foot forward, then take the cut away with a Krumphaw at your left side and with that cut him through the head. If he cuts through your head like this, then drop another Krump on him and then likewise cut through his head on his right side. If he displaces this further, then take a double Feler ("feint") to both sides and then immediately strike with crossed arms to his right ear. Should you perceive this strike, displace it with the long edge, let the weak of your sword run, and with that strike to his right arm. Then step back and wind into the Hanging Point, immediately follow outward with the left leg and stick the point into his chest. |

[38] Another High Cut Stand with your left foot forward and strike a long one like this over both of his arms near his right ear.[37] Then follow outward with your right foot and strike a Zwirch to his left side. If you have then struck the Zwirch, yank your sword free up over your head and make as if you will strike to the top of his head. Then immediately step with your left leg around to his right side and cut over his arm. If he cuts over your arm like this, displace this cut with the long edge, turn the sword with the short edge onto his blade and with that strike to his head. Should you perceive this strike, displace it with your long edge and immediately shoot to his face or chest out of the Ochsen ("Ox") with crossed arms. If he displaces this, then spring with your left foot onto his left side and strike with the Zwirch to his head. |

[39] An Inverting Cut with an Ansezen ("Set Upon") When you both come together at the closing stand with your left foot forward and take care of the opening over his left arm with your cut and set upon him with the long edge such that the cross stands on his elbow. Then shove him away from you.[37] If he then shoves you away like this, take your left leg and pivot to your right. Thus you go out of the cut. With that strike high to the right side of his head such that your left leg comes forward again. Then immediately follow outward with your right foot again and strike to his head with the long edge out of the stance vom Tag ("from the roof"). If he displaces this, then strike his right arm with a Fligelhaw ("flying strike") from below. If he travels after the strike and will shove it away, then strike him to the high opening with your short edge. If he strike towards you like this and you stand with your left foot forward, Zwirch to the right side of his head. |

[40] Another Inverting Cut When you both come together at the closing take note of the level of the opening at his arm and set upon him with your long edge on his right shoulder and your cross below his right shoulder and with this shove him out in front of you. If he shoves you away like this and you have your hands crossed in front of your head,[37] then step out in front of you with your right leg, pivot backwards with your left and thrust your point in his face. If he displaces your thrust, then quickly take the timing in front of you and strike low and high to his four openings. If he seeks your openings like this, then hang and wind out of the Pflug to strike him strongly from above. If he displaces this, then follow outward with your right leg, dopelier ("double") high, ajundier ("mutate"?) low and with that seek his openings as well. |

[41] The First Cut from Below When you come to the closing with the opponent pay attention to whether he seems high of low opposite you. If he goes high with his arms opposite you, then cut him from below. If he rather goes low with his arms opposite you, then cut him from above. If you then stand opposite him with your left foot forward and he cuts from below towards you,[37] then step back with your left foot and set the long edge upon his sword. Thus you have countered the cut from below and may work whatever you want low or high to his openings. Then immediately strike to his right ear with crossed arms. If he displaces this, then yank back your sword to half blade and strike again wherever you want. Then immediately wind with crossed arms and thrust your point into his face again from your left to his right side. |

[42] The Other Cut from Below When you both come together at the closing, take note of the openings at his body low and high. If he then strikes high towards your head, cut in from below through his arm.[37] If he cuts towards you from below, step with your left leg in front of his right and strike the Zwirch with crossed arms to hit him at the right side of his head. Then spring to his right side with your right foot out of the Zwirch and strike long as you move away from him. If he has struck away from you like this, then travel after him double with cuts and strikes and strike with the long edge to the high opening. If he strikes high towards you like this and you have leaned backwards, then step in again with your left leg as you wind and hang up over your head with your blade on your right side so that his strike goes away off of your blade. With that strike high to his head. |

[43] A High Hanging from both Sides When you come to the closing with the opponent, stand with your right foot forward and hold your sword on your right side with your hilt in front of your head.[37] Follow outward with your left leg and wind your point into his face with crossed hands out of the Hanging. If he winds the point towards your face like this and you likewise stand opposite him in the Hanging with your right set forward, then follow outward with your left leg and shove out into the winding with the long edge to your right side with crossed hands. Let the weak of your sword run and strike him high. If he displaces this, then Zwirch to his right side. If he displaces this as well, then follow outward with your right leg and Zwirch to the left side of his head. If he Zwirches towards you on both sides like this, then set the Krump on his sword and cut to his head. |

[44] Another High Hanging When you come to the closing with the opponent, stand with your left foot forward with crossed arms such that your point hangs towards the ground on your left side.[37] Step in with your right foot and wind your point into his face such that your hilt stands in front of your head. If he winds the point towards your face like this, then take his point away to your left side with the short edge. Then follow outward with your right foot and cut him through the head. If he intends to cut you like this and you stand with your right foot forward, then set this aside with your short edge. Then immediately follow outward with your left foot and cut through his head also with the short edge. If he displaces this, then wind your pommel over his right arm and with that turn to your left side. Then immediately pivot around onto your right side. Thus you cut through his head. |

[45] The Prechfennster from Both Sides It happens like this in the Prechfennster ("Speaking Window"): stand with your right foot forward and hold your hilt in front of your head such that your thumbs are underneath, the point is high on your right side, and you look out at the opponent between your arms.[41] Drop the sword down on your right side as you step in with your left foot and strike him powerfully to the head. If he strikes high towards you like this and you likewise lie in the Prechfennster and stand with the left foot forward, then displace the strike with your long edge with crossed arms as you follow outward with your right foot. Then drop the short edge down and strike on the left side of his head. If he strikes towards you like this, set this aside with your short edge, follow outward with your right leg and wind the short edge at his left ear. |

[46] Two Windings with Similar Free Points It happens like this in the Winding: stand with your right foot forward such that your short edge is wound opposite of you with the point in the opponent’s face.[37] Follow outward with your left leg, wind into the Krumphaw shooting the short edge over his sword and then strike to his head with your long edge. If you then also stand like this in the Winding with the right foot opposite him and he shoots over you and strikes high, then let your wind run double and strike with the long edge against his strike. Follow outward with the left foot and you may work from there with strikes, thrusts, and cuts. If he fires strikes and thrusts at you like this, then displace this with the Krieg ("in-fighting") and work with his Schwech ("weak") and Sterck ("strong"), in the Vor ("before") and the Nach ("after"). |

[47] Two Winding In at the Sword It happens like this with the Winding In: stand with your left foot forward and hold the short edge opposite the opponent with crossed hands with your left hand over your right arm.[37] Wind through in the Rose and then immediately drop down at your left side, step in with your right leg and wind towards his face. If he then winds like this towards your face and you likewise stand opposite him in the Winding with your right foot set forward, then wind your long edge on his long, drop downward with your short edge at your right side, and step well in towards him in the bind. Thus you will not become caught in the winding. Then immediately wind around and through, invert your hand and grab around the pommel such that you stand in the Einkhiren ("Unicorn") and then stab with your point to his face or chest. |

[48] A Double Winding from which a Hanging Proceeds It happens like this in the Winding: stand with your left foot forward and hold your sword with crossed arms with the flat at your left leg such that the point stands opposite the opponent.[37] If he then intends to strike high towards your head, step in with your right leg with the hilt in front of your head to displace his strike. Then spring with your left leg behind his right and strike with the Creizhaw ("Crossing Strike") to his head. If he strikes towards your high opening like this and you stand with your left foot forward, displace his Creizhaw with your long edge, travel outward with your right foot, and cut towards his head and body. If he intends to cut towards you like this, then shove out the short and long against him to work with the Winding to the waist and heart, from one opening to the other. |

[49] A Winding Aside from both free Right Sides You come to the closing with the opponent in the Winding Aside and stand with your right foot forward.[37] Follow outward with your left leg, wind the half edge downward, and shoot the long point into his face with extended arms. Should you perceive this thrust and stand with your right forward, then set it aside, step in with your left foot, and set the short edge Krump onto his sword. His thrust is deflected like this. If he deflects your thrust like this, wind aside and strike in over his arm to the right side of his head. If he strikes towards you like this, displace it and then immediately follow outward with your right foot and strike with the short edge to his head. If he strike towards you like this with short and long to your right side, displace this likewise with short and long edges, then follow outward with your right foot and seek his next opening. |

[50] A Thrust out of the Word Inndes ("Simultaneously") When you come to the closing with the opponent and he fires his long point against your face or chest, step with your right leg opposite him and set the thrust aside with your long edge.[37] If you have then set his thrust aside like this, wind quickly downward and change high again to the face. If he displaces this, then step in with your left leg and strike with crossed arms to his right ear from above. If he strike towards you like this and you stand with your right foot forward, then set it back again and wind your point double to his face or chest. If he displaces this once more, then strike into the Alber vom Tag ("Fool from the Roof"). If he then intends to strike towards your high opening, wind out with crossed hands into the Versazung ("Parry Position"), step in with your right foot and immediately wind and hang and strike high to his head. |

[51] A Thrust against the Einschiessen ("Shooting In") Strike like this at the closing with the opponent: set your left leg forward and shoot in the point to his face or chest such that your half edge stands downward. If you then stand with your right foot opposite him and he fires the point at you like this over your crossed arms[37] and you have shot in at him as well, then wind your short edge to your right side and with that set his thrust aside. You may work from here whatever you will, weak and strong and take note of the word Indes ("Immediately"). If he intends to work towards you like this weak and hard on your sword, take heed of the level of the opening at his body with your point. Then step outward with your right leg and at the same time strike with the long edge to his head. If he works quickly on you like this, then displace him with the Krieg ("war/in-fighting") from one side to the other. Because of this you may at the same time bring strikes, thrusts, and cuts. |

[52] A Thrust against a High Nachraisen ("Traveling After") It happens like this when you come to the opponent: stand with your right foot forward such that your long edge is wound upward and the hilt is in front of your head. Then fire the point opposite his face or at his throat. If he fires the point opposite your face or chest like this, then stand with your left foot forward and travel after him long and high to his head with outstretched arms.[37] Then follow outward with your right foot and wind into the Hanging Point and with that strike him again a high long one to his right side. If he strikes towards you like this, then displace this with your long edge, step outward with your left foot, and strike with the Zwirch to the right side of his head. If he displaces the Zwirch, then yank back your strike and hit him again quickly. If he strikes at you double like this, step away from his strike with a false step on your left side and strike him to the right. |

Verum, si is contra te dupliciter modo eodem feriat, tum gradu falso eius ictum ex parte corporis tui sinistra devites, et versus advesarii dextram ferias. |

[53] A Zucken from Both Sides Strike yourself into the Zucken like this such that your left foot stands forward and you strike to his right side with crossed arms.[41] Then immediately wind your sword at your right side, step in with your right foot, and strike yourself into the low Zucken such that your hilt stands in front of your head with your point opposite the opponent. If you then stand like this opposite the opponent with your right foot forward and arms extended such that the long edge stands opposite him,[42] then hang on your right side, follow outward with your left leg, and strike high to the top of his head. If he displaces your strike, then strike the Zwirch towards the left side of his head. If he Zwirches towards your left side like this, set this aside with your short edge, follow outward with your left foot, and strike to his right arm. If he displaces this, then wind to his face. If he winds towards you like this, shove this out with your long edge, follow outward with your right foot, and strike to his high opening. |

[54] A Zucken with Short and Long Edges It happens like this in the Zucken: stand upright with both feet together and lift the sword across in front of you with outstretched arms such that the short edge stands opposite you.[37] Then take the Fligel ("Flying Strike") in from below from your left side, follow outward with your left leg, and strike to his right side. If he strikes the Fligel against your right side and you stand with your right foot forward, then drop a Krump on his sword and follow outward with the left foot. Thus you may cut him on both sides to the head and to the body wherever you want. If he intends to cut you like this, displace it with winding on your sword, follow outward with your right foot, and strike with the short edge to his head. Then immediately yank back your sword and wind the point to his face or chest. If he sets this aside, then take all hits double and with that strike to the right side of his head. |

[55] A Binding with a Sword Capture When you both come together at the closing and the other has you in the bind, step forward with your left foot and grab with your left hand over his right to his pommel. Thus you may capture his sword. If he then grabs over your right arm like this and has caught your sword near the pommel, then thrust at his left elbow with your left hand as you set your left foot in front of his left.[37] Thus you push him back and may well come out of harm from him. If he intends to push you like this, let your sword drop, release your left hand from his sword, yank your left leg back and then immediately grab with both hands to his left foot and with that yank towards you. Thus you may throw him backwards. If he will throw you like this, then catch him by his throat and turn his face against the sun. |

Then with that cut high to the right side of his head. If he displaces this cut drive out with the short edge over your head and let the weak run on his left side. Then strike high to his head. If he strikes high towards you like this, then displace this with the long edge and immediately strike with crossed arms to his right ear. If he displaces this, hang and wind and immediately thrust with your point to his face or chest. Then strike yourself back away from him. |

[60] A Feler at the Pflug upon Joining When you will strike the Feler ("Feint"), it happens as follows: stand with your left foot forward and hold your sword extended in front of you with outstretched arms such that the long edge stands below.[41] Follow outward with your right foot and let the Feler run double on your left side to his right. If you then stand opposite him in the Pflug with crossed hands and with your left foot forward such that the point is opposite the opponent[42] and he strikes the Feler double at you, then step in with your right foot and wind out with the hilt over your head such that the point hangs to the rear on your right side and immediately Hang as he strikes. Then strike to the right side of his head. If he displaces this, follow outward with your left foot and strike with crossed hands to his right side. If he strikes towards you like this, displace this with your long edge, follow outward with the left leg, and strike directly to the top of his head. |

[61] Two Openings from the Left Side Thus you both come together at the closing, so stand with your left foot forward and take note of his high opening. With that strike a long high one to the opening at his head. If you then stand with the right foot opposite him and have likewise struck to the opening at his left side,[37] then step back with your right leg and wind out with the hilt in front of your head such that the long edge stands high. Thus his strike is displaced. Then immediately yank your sword back behind your head and shove the point into his face from your left to his right side. If he intends to thrust towards your face like this, set this aside with the long edge and immediately strike him quickly to his head. If he displaces this, step backwards with your left foot and strike from below to his right arm. Then immediately follow outward again with the left leg and seek his openings from one side to the other. |

[62] Two Openings from the Right Side When you come before the opponent and stand with your right foot forward, take note of the opening at his right side with your long edge with extended arms. If he then strikes towards your right side like this, do not displace this but rather strike high to his head.[37] If he then strikes a long high one towards you like this, drive with your sword up over your head, spring with your left foot behind his right, and likewise strike him to the top of the head. If you should perceive this strike coming around, then step in towards him with the right foot and strike over both of his arms. With that you may also shove him away from you. If he then shoves you away from him, immediately work quickly with him in the Vor and in the Nach and at the same time take note whether he is weak or strong at his sword and seek the next opening from both sides. If he displaces this, then wind your point to his face or chest. |

[63] Feeling for the Weak and the Strong You come together at the closing like this in the bind. Set your right foot forward and immediately determine whether he is soft or hard at his sword. If he is weak, then step in with your left foot and strike with crossed arms to his right ear. But if he is hard at his sword and holds strongly against you, then let the weak off and strike to his head. If he strikes a high one out of the weak towards you like this and you stand with your right foot forward, then shove this aside with the long edge, drop a Krumb on him and with that cut to the next opening on his left side. If he intends to cut you like this, then shove aside the Krumb and immediately cut to his head. If he displaces this, wind your point in his face and then travel after him double with cuts and strikes. If he travels after you long like this, then hang and wind, spring backwards to your right side and at the same time seek his high opening. |

[64] Schrannkhut from Both Sides So you lie in the Schrannkhut ("Barrier Guard") like this with extended arms such that your left foot stands forward and he strikes high towards your head. Follow outward with your right foot and take his strike away with your short edge and then strike high to the top of his head. If you then stand opposite him likewise in the Schrannkhut and your left foot stands forward, then step with your right foot behind your left and set his strike aside with your long edge and then wind to his neck. Thus you may cut or slash him wherever you want. If he will then cut you, follow outward with your left leg and strike with the Zwirch to the left side of his head. If he displaces this, then strike him with crossed arms to his right side. If he strikes towards you like this, then displace this with your long edge and immediately counter with strike, thrust or cut from one side to the other. |

If you then stand with your right foot opposite him and hold your sword under your left shoulder and he stabs towards your face, then grab to your half blade, drive out in front of your head, and thrust his point away with the Kron ("Crown"). Then you may thrust your point to the face or chest, and may also hit to his head with the pommel. If he intends to hit you with the pommel like this, displace this also with the Kron and immediately stab your point in his face and then hit with your pommel to his head. |

[68] A Reissen ("Snatching") with a Sword Capture When you come together at the closing and the other binds on the Schildt ("shield"), set your left foot forward and strike to his left side with your short edge. If he then strikes towards your left side and you stand with your left foot forward, then drop a Krumb on his sword and step with your right foot outside behind his left. Thus his sword comes under your left shoulder. Drop your right hand on his handle and come to the aide of your right with your left. With that turn to your left side and you may throw him or capture the sword. If he will capture your sword, then release it and grab with your right hand forward onto his right and with your left on his right elbow and with that shove away from you. Thus you may lock his arm. Should you perceive this armlock, step with your left foot onto his right side and come to the aide of your right hand with the left.[37] Then you turn yourself out of the armlock. |

[69] The Wechsel from which the Thrust Proceeds It happens like this in the Wechsel ("Changer"): stand with your left foot forward and strike with your sword out in front of his face such that your short edge stands high and then wind your sword at your left side with crossed hands and put the point in his face as you follow outward with your right leg. Thus the point comes in at him twice. If you then stand like this in the Wechsel opposite him such that your right foot stands forward and you perceive the double thrust, then step back with your right leg and shove the thrust away with your long edge. Then immediately wind your short edge onto his sword, step in again with your left foot, and press his sword at your right arm. Then you may cut to his high opening. If he intends to cut towards you like this, displace him with the Krumphaw and with that cut to his head. If he sets this aside, then wind into the Hanging Point such that your hilt stands in front of your head, follow outward with the left foot, and wind the point double to his face. |

[70] The Einkiren with an Absetzen When you come before the opponent, it happens like this in the Einkiren ("Unicorn"): stand with your left foot forward with arms inverted in front of your head such that the short edge stands below and the point is opposite the opponent.[37] Follow outward with your right foot and with that stab your point to his face or chest. Then immediately wind into the Zwirch and strike to his right side with crossed hands. If he then fires the Einkiren at you like this, set your left foot forward and set aside the Einkiren with your long edge. Follow outward with your right leg and strike high to his head with your long edge. If he displaces this, then immediately work quickly from one opening to another low and high, wherever he makes you. If he seeks your openings like this, then immediately work with him quickly at the Vor and at the Nach. If it is the Vor, you come to the lead. If it is the Nach, you strike after. |

[71] A Right and a Left Thrust It happens like this in the left thrust: set your right foot forward and hold your sword over your head with extended arms such that the point stands to the rear.[37] Then follow outward with your left leg and shoot the point to his face from your left to his right side. If he displaces this, wind into the Hanging Point and strike again at his left side. If you then stand like this opposite him with your right foot forward such that the hilt is in front of your head and the point stands opposite the opponent and he strikes double at you, displace this and let the weak run double. Then immediately seek the next upper two openings. If he seeks your upper openings like this, block this and immediately strike quickly with the short edge to his head. If he displaces this, immediately wind quickly to his face, follow outward with your right leg, and strike high to his head. |

[72] A Thrust to the Face out of the Bind When you come together at the closing and the other has bound at the swords, stand with your right foot forward in the bind, then follow outward with your left leg and strike to the high opening. If he then strikes a high one towards you like this and you stand with your left foot forward, displace this. If he then yanks back and intends to strike again, bring your pommel in between both his arms towards his face.[37] Thus you split his arms one from another and can also strike, cut, or stab through his head. Should you perceive this previously described technique and he will counter you with his pommel, then press downward with your hands on his arms and immediately cut to his head. Should you perceive this cut, set your long edge on his right arm and with that slash and cut on the right side to his next opening. |

[73] A Position out of the Pflug against the Oberhaw It happens like this: stand with your right foot forward with your sword flat such that the point is opposite the ground. If he then strikes the Oberhaw at you,[37] step in front with your left leg and set his strike aside with crossed arms with the long edge, then stab to the left side of his face. Thus you wind into the Hanging Point. If he stabs towards your face like this and you stand with your right foot forward, spring with your left foot onto his left side and set the stab aside. Then step with your right foot well onto his right side and strike quickly high to his head. If he displaces this, then take the Dopelhaw ("Doubled Strike") with a thrust and work towards his next opening. If he seeks your opening like this, follow outward with your right leg, hang and wind against his strike so that his blow is displaced. Then immediately strike with crossed arms to the right side of his head. |

[74] Two High Strikes to the Head When you come to the closing with the opponent, set your left foot forward and immediately take note of the level of his strike. If he strikes high towards your head, step with your right foot behind your left and wind the hilt out in front of your head. Thus his strike goes aside on your flat. Then follow outward with your right foot and with that hit high to the top of his head. If he then strikes a high one towards you like this and you stand opposite him with your left foot, set his strike aside with your short edge and cut through his face with your long [edge]. If he intends to cut you like this, release your left hand from your sword and thrust on his right elbow. Thus you shove him away from you and have taken his strength so that he cannot work further. |

Si in adversarii gladio regendo more athletico conspectum perveneris, sinistrum praeponito atque ictum ipsius diligenter observato, et si is versus caput tuum feriat superne, tum dextrum laevo tuo postpones, capulumque sursum pro capite tuo si inflexeris, ab ensis tui latitudine adversarii ictus delabetur, et dextro insequutus pede, versus eius verticem superne ferias. Si vero te modo eodem fuerit aggressus adversarius, sinistrum praefigentem, ictus eius acie brevi praemissa avertito, acieque longa faciem proscindas. Cum vero is idem conari volet, tum ab ense tuo manum laevam remove, atque dextrum adversarii cubitum si impuleris, facile eum abs te repelles. Tum etiam infirmum reddideris adversarium, ut omnes suos labores frustra quosqunque susceperit sumat. |

[75] A Reissen with a Sword Capture When you come together at the closing, stand with your left leg in front and strike high to the right side of his head. If you then stand opposite him like this also with your left foot forward and he strikes high towards your right side, displace this with your long edge, and during the displacement release your right hand from your sword and grab his left with it. If he has then released his right hand from his sword and grabbed your left, release your left hand from your sword as well and grab his blade as well as your own.[37] Then step with your right foot behind his left and turn from him to your left side. Thus you capture his sword. If he will capture your sword, let him! But set your left hand on his right elbow and with that turn to your left side so that you lock his arm. |

[76] A Reissen with a Throw When you come to the opponent at the closing, stand with your left foot forward and bind on his sword. If he holds strongly against you in the bind, then drop your pommel over his arm and with that snatch him towards you.[37] If he snatches you towards himself like this, set your right leg behind his left, let your sword fall and grab his jaw with your left hand and his left leg half-way above the knee with your right hand. With that you may throw him backwards. If he holds you like this, grab your sword’s blade with your left hand near the point and set your sword between between hands onto his neck. With that you shove him away from you and he must release you. If he has then set upon you like this and has shoved you away from him, turn yourself to the rear and cut to his head with doubled cuts. That is, with short and long edges. |

Sed si is idem contra te usurparit tum dextrum, eius pedi sinistro postponito, ensem abiicito et manu tua sinistra mentum adversarii apprehendito, dextraque sinistri pedis eius partem quae paulo supra poplitem exstit, et hac ratione eum reiicere poteris prosternendo. Si autem te eodem modo fuerit complexus, tum apprehende manu sinistra ensem adversarii iuxta mucronem, atque collum eius gladio tuo inter manus tuas attingito, et adversarium ea ratione facile epuleris, tum te missum facere adversarius cogetur. Verum si te consimilii modo aggreditur hostis, retrorsum te flectes, et incisione duplici versum caput ipsius incidendo utitor, acie tum longa tum brevi ensis tui praemittenda. |

[77] Two Entries from which Two Cuts Proceed When you come to the closing with the opponent it happens like this: set your right foot forward and strike a high one with the Sturzhaw ("Plunging Cut") to his left side. Then follow outward with your left foot, grab your sword’s blade with your right hand near the Schildt, and cut through his face. If you then stand with your left foot opposite him and he intends to cut you, release your left hand from your pommel, thrust your sword through between his arms towards his face and immediately grab with your left hand over his right arm forward on your sword’s blade.[37] Then step in towards him with your right leg and wind your sword to your left side such that your pommel comes upward. Thus you cut over both of his arms and may thrust the pommel into his face or chest. |

[78] Two Einschiessen with their Points You stand with the right foot forward and shoot the point at his left side such that your short edge is turned downwards with the hilt in front of your head. Then follow outward with your left leg and wind your short edge to his face or chest. If he displaces this, step back with your left foot and strike with the Zwirch to his left side. If he strikes towards you like this and you stand with the left foot forward and hold your hilt with crossed arms in front of your head, then follow outward with your right foot and wind his sword to your left side with your short edge.[37] Then follow outward with your left leg so that you can strike or cut to his head with your long edge. If he intends to cut you like this, drop the Krumb on his sword. Then immediately step in and around with your left leg and with that cut to the right side of his head or wherever he makes you. |

[79] A Sword Capture with a Cut When you come to the closing with the opponent it happens like this: stand with the right foot forward and take note of the level of his strike. Then immediately cut to his head with the long edge.[37] If you stand with the left foot opposite him and he cuts high towards you like this, drop a Krumb over his hand, wind your left arm over both of his arms, and with that snatch to your right side. Thus you capture his sword. If he intends to capture your sword like this, then let him! But step with your left foot behind his left, grab forward around his throat with your left hand, and behind his left knee with your right. Thus you throw him from below upwards. If he intends to throw you like this, then let your sword fall as well, grab with your right hand inside his left arm, and set the left hand on his throat. At the same time step with your right foot behind his left and thrust him onto the back. |

[80] A Binding from which to Capture the Sword You each have bound the other at the sword and you stand with your right foot forward.[37] Wind your left arm over his right with the pommel, step with your left foot in front of his left, and with that turn to your right side. Thus you capture his sword. If he holds you like this and turns himself, then release your left hand from your sword, set it under his left elbow, and with that shove him away from you. If he then shoves you away from him, let both swords fall and grab his left arm with both hands. Then turn to your right side and lock his arm. If he will lock your arm like this, grab with your left hand forward on his right and lift it upward. Thus you are free of his arm-lock. Then immediately grab his throat with your right hand, extend your arm, and shove high away from you. Thus you throw him downwards. |

[81] An Inverting Thrust with a Throw When you come to the closing with the opponent, act as if you will strike high to his head. But then immediately release your left hand from your sword, grab behind his left knee, and yank towards you as you thrust high with your pommel towards his face. If he then holds you like this, likewise release your left hand from your sword and capture him powerfully near the right elbow and with your pommel over his right arm.[37] Then yank towards you. If you have grabbed him powerfully like this, shove upwards. Thus you lock his arm. If he will lock your arm, then let your sword fall and thrust with your right hand on his jaw. Thus you throw him backwards. If he holds you low and high like this and intends to throw you, and you have your left hand on his right elbow, yank your left foot towards you from below and shove high away from you. Thus you will be free of the throw. |

Sin autem te hostis superne et inferne fuerit complexus teque cupiverit sternere, contingente te cubitum eius dextrum manu sinistra, inferne, pedem sinistrum versus te attrahito superne propellito, et periculum ne consternaris, devitabis. |

[82] A Face Thrust with a Similar Side Thrust When you come to the opponent at the closing, stand with the right foot forward and strike to his right arm. If he displaces this, then act as if you will strike him high but immediately thrust your pommel into his face.[37] Should you perceive this thrust, step inward with your right foot in front of his right and put your head through his right arm. Thus you go out of the thrust and with that can thrust the pommel into his right side. If he thrusts to your right side like this, set the short edge of your sword on his neck. Should you perceive this setting upon, step back with your right foot. Then you may strike, cut, or stab him. If he will work against you like this at the same time, then work with him also weak and strong. With that you take the initiative to his next opening. |

[058v] Qua ratione visus, simul etiam latus impulsu adpetatur. Digladiando cum adversario adpropinquaris, dextrum pedem proponito, atque versus dextrum eius brachium ferito. Verum id si exciperit adversarius, te preparato, quasi superne feriturus contraipsum, subito interim nodum ensis tui in ipsius faciem impellito. Si vero id adversario fieri observaris, tum dextro pede, eius pedem dextrum interius praecedas, caput tuum si per brachium adversarii dextrum exeras transeundo, impulsum eius effugere licebit, interimque nodum tuum in latus eius dextrum torqueto. Verum si adversarius idem moliatur versus latus tuum dextrum nodum ensis impingendo, tum ensem ex acie brevi adversarii collo adiungito. Sed si id ab adversario tibi contigerit, dextrum pedem si retuleris, ferire, incidere, atque pungere eum poteris.

[83] A Throw out of the Strong to the Weak When you come together at the closing and the other has you in the bind, let your sword fall, stand with your right foot forward, and thrust your head into his abdomen. At the same time sweep both of your hands behind his knees.[37] Thus you may throw him on the back or outward over your head. If he then holds you like this and intends to throw you, thrust your pommel onto his head. Then he must release you. Should you perceive this thrust, put your arms on both his arms and with that lift upwards. At the same time kick your left foot behind his right and thrust high away from you. Thus he falls on the back. If he intends to thrust you backwards like this, then likewise let your sword fall and grab with both hands near the middle of his body. Thus you may carry him away or throw him from you. |

[84] A Strike with a Verkerer ("Inverter") When you come to the opponent at the closing and he is opposite you, strike high to his head. If he then strikes a high one towards you like this, displace this and immediately step inward with your right foot in front of his right. Release your left hand from your sword and thrust against his right elbow. Set your long edge upon his right hand near his sword and shove away from you. Thus you spin him around.[37] If he spins you like this and has released his left hand from his sword, then step backwards with your right foot. Thus you will be free of him. Then strike with a long high one. If he goes out of the Verkerer ("Inverter/Spinner") like this and strikes a long high one at your head, drive out with your sword and grab with your left hand around to your pommel. Thus you displace his strike, and then strike to his right arm. |

[85] A Verkerer with an Ansetzen When you come together at the closing stand with your right foot forward and strike with the Underhaw long to his left side such that your hilt stands in front of your head. If he strikes one towards you like this and you stand with your right foot forward, displace this and then immediately release your right hand from your sword and set it upon his right elbow.[37] With that wind your head through his right arm as you let your sword fall. Then grab with your left hand onto your right side[59] and with your right forward near his right [hand]. Thus you can lock his arm outward or inward. If he will lock your arm like this, release your left hand from your sword, drop it onto his right elbow, follow outward with the left leg, let your sword likewise fall, and grab with your right hand behind his right knee. Thus you may throw him as well. |

[86] An Ansezen with a Verkerer When you come together at the closing and the other has you in the bind and your left foot is set forward, release the left hand from your sword, set it upon his right elbow, and with that shove him backwards. Thus you spin him.[37] If you have bound him on the sword like this and he has spun you, then step backwards with your right foot. Thus you go out of the spin. Then immediately strike in from below from your right side to his right arm. |

[87] Another Ansetzen with a Nachraisen When you come to the closing with the opponent, stand with your right foot forward and strike with an Underhaw with your long edge from your left to his right side between both of his arms. Then immediately pivot to the rear so that you yank the sword back through his hands. If he yanks the sword through your hands like this and you stand with your left foot forward, travel after him and cut through the head with your long edge.[37] If he will cut through your head like this, then set this aside with the flat of your sword, step backwards with your right foot, and strike to his right arm. If he displaces your strike, then let a double Feler ("feint") run and strike to his left side. Then immediately hang, wind, and shoot your point to his face or chest. |

Verum si adversarius idem contra te moliatur, sinistrum praeponito, insequitor instando atque acie ensis tui longa caput eius prestringito, et si vicissim eum modum adversus te usurparit, ensis latitudine ictum avertito, dextro regressus, versus eius brachium dextrum ferito adversario eum ictum excipiente, tum dupliciti ictu erratico, quo corpus eius minus contingas utitor, atque latus adversarii sinsitrum appetito, interimque inclinato et inflectito, nec non mucronem ensis tui in faciem adversarii vel pectus impellito. |

[88] A Verkerer with a Cut When you come to the closing with the opponent, set your right foot forward and strike high to his head. If he strikes at your high opening like this and winds towards your neck, release your left hand from your sword and grab both swords together.[37] Then with that snatch away from you. If he snatches to the front like this and you stand with your left foot forward, follow outward with your right, strike to his next opening, and shove him away from you so that you spin him. Then immediately work quickly from one opening to another with strikes, stabs, and cuts wherever he makes you. If he strikes and thrusts at you like this, set this aside low and high with short and long edges. Then immediately strike to his next opening. If he displaces this, then quickly seek another opening. If he seeks your openings like this, then Zwirch double to his right side and with that strike yourself away from him to the rear. |

[061v] Qua ratione adversarium possis simul convertere, et perstringere incisione. Si gladio rite regendo ad adversarium progressus fueris dextrum praeponito versusque eius caput ferito. Sed si is vicissim nuditatem supernam feriundo quaerat, atque versus collum tuum inflectat, tum ab ense tuo manum laevam separato, atque gladium utrumque arripito vellendo. Sin autem adversarius idem moliatur, te sinistrum praeponente pedem, dextro statum insequutus, proximam nuditatme pulsato, et abse te eum propelles, atque ea ratione eum converteris! Subito interim aliam ex alia nuditatem appetes, ictibus, incisuris, atque punctionibus utendo ubicumque absque sui defensione nudus repertus fuerit. Verum si is crebris ictubus punctionibusque te aggreditur, inferne et superne acie tum longa tum brevi praemissa avertito, subitoque versus nuditatem proximam ferias. Excipiente autem adversario, celerrime aliam eius acquirito. Cumque is tuas adem ratione quaesiverit, tum transversarium usurpando duplicem versus adversarii latus dextrum, feriundo retrorsum te coniicias. |

[89] A Throw with the Point When you come together at the closing it happens like this: stand with your left foot forward and strike a high one at the same time as him. Then immediately release your left hand from your pommel and grab your sword’s blade. Press his sword towards you with your hilt and set your point on his neck so that you can cut him.[37] Then immediately press to your left side and lift his right foot upwards with your left. Thus you throw him with the point. If he intends to throw you like this and you stand with your right foot forward, step with your left to his right side and shove your hilt over your head strongly with the long edge upwards. Thus you go out of the throw. Then immediately yank your left leg back and strike to his high opening. If he displaces this, then hang and wind and thrust the point into his face. |

Atque pede sinistro eius pedem dextrum si sursum levaris, adversarium prosternes cum mucrone. Verum si eadem contra te molitus fuerit dextrum praeponentem, tum laevum pedem in eius latus dextrum dirigito, sursum aciem longam firmiter tendito, capuloque supra caput elevato, ne prosternaris, tibi cavebis, interim vero laevum referto, et versus nuditatem supernam ferito: excipiente id adversario, inclinabis inflectes et mucronem in eius faciem pungendo impellito. |

[90] A Cut with a Throw When you come together at the closing, stand with your right foot forward and bind on his sword. Then follow outward with your left, release your left hand from your pommel and grab at your half-blade, and set your long edge on his left shoulder over his chest. Thus you may cut him. Should you perceive this cut, step with your right foot in front of his left, release your right hand from your sword, and grab him over the shoulder blades.[37] Then immediately grab your sword’s blade again with your right hand and press directly downwards. Thus you force him to the ground. If he intends to press you like this, grab his blade between your hilt. Thus you may throw him just as he tried to throw you. |

[91] A Sword Capture with a Cut It happens like this at the closing: stand with your right foot forward and strike a long high one to his head. If he displaces this and strikes inward at you as well, then release your left hand from your pommel; hold both swords together, and with that snatch to your left side. Thus you capture his sword. If he snatches from you towards himself like this, step with your left foot on his right, then step outward with your right and cut him with your long edge. Then shove him away from you. Thus you free your sword and immediately strike quickly with a high one. If he strikes one towards you like this, displace it with your long edge. Thus you come high to the cut again and may strike, cut, or stab him. If he will work at you at the same time like this, step back with your right foot. Thus you may also go at him with a counter, strike, thrust, or cut and work quickly with him in the Vor and in the Nach. |

Si autem id ab adversario tibi observaris, acie longa eum excipies, et superne rursum in incisionem te praeparaveris, simulque hoc modo ferire, incidere, atque pungere poteris. Si autem inde adversarius contra te laborarit, retrorsum pedem dextrum diriges, et vicissim ictus, incisiones punctionesque versus ipsum usurpare licebit, nec non celerrime cum eo pro partibus prioribus viriliter certabis. |

[92] An Uberfallen with a Cut When you come together at the closing and the other binds you, stand with your left foot forward and at the same time feel whether he is soft or hard at his sword. If he is hard and holds strongly against you, hang and wind and strike strongly to his right side. Should you perceive this strike, displace it with your long edge such that your right foot stands forward, release your left hand from your sword and grab in over his left arm and between both of his arms. Then immediately yank your sword to your right side such that the point comes onto the left side of his neck.[37] If he sets the point on your neck like this, cut him with your long edge below his left shoulder as you step outward with your right leg. Thus you shove him away from you with the cut. |

Sin vero idem fieri ab adversario intellexeris, acie longa praemissa excipies, eo tamen modo, ut pedem dextrum praeposueris: Ceterum manum laevam ab ense tuo remove, eamque super adversarii brachium sinistrum intra brachium eius utrumque diriges, posthaec gladium tuum ita reges a dextro latere, ut mucro ensis tui parti colli adversarii sinistrae adplicetur. Verum si is habitu contra te eodem usus fuerit, tum eius axillam sinistram proscindito acie gladii tui longa praemissa, atque pede sinsitro insequutus, incisione adversarium propuleris. |

[93] An Armlock with the Sword When you come together at the closing, step with your left foot at his right side, release your left hand from your sword, grab over his cross to his pommel, and with that snatch upwards on your left side. Then follow outward with your right foot and strike to his high opening with your long edge. If you then stand with your right foot forward and he steps towards you with his left and grabs your pommel with his left hand, then grab your blade with your left hand and sweep his arm onto the hilt.[37] Then immediately wind his arm back to the rear on your right side. Thus you lock his arm aside. If he will lock your arm like this, then grab with your right hand to his left and with your left from below on his right and shove directly upwards. Thus you throw the armlock free. |

Dextrum vero si proposueris, isque sinistrum ei imposuerit, et nodum ensis tui manu sinistra arripere fuerit conatus, tum manu laeva ensis medium arripe, et brachium pariter cum capulo adversarii apprehende, inde brachium eius retrorsum versus latus tuum sinistrum si deflexeris, brachium adversarii infringes. Sin vero is ratione contra te eadem fuerit usus tum dextra manu eius sinsitram apprehende, atque laeva inferne adversarii dextram fortiter sursum cum levaris, te liberum a praedicto discrimine reddes. |

[94] An Einprechen with a Cut When you come together at the closing and the other has bound on the sword and your left foot is set forward, drop out of the bind into the cut from below to his left side. Should you perceive this cut, drop both of your arms over his sword, release your left hand from your sword and grab to his left elbow, and set your right foot in front of his left. Then shove him away from you. If he shoves you away from him like this and you have your left hand on your sword’s blade,[37] then step backwards with your left foot and capture his sword on his left shoulder. Then immediately strike high to his head. If he displaces this, follow outward with your left foot once again and wind your point double to his face or chest. |

[95] An Oberhaw with a Groin Thrust When you come together at the closing and the other strikes in strongly in the Zornhaw, determine whether he is soft or hard at his sword. If he is soft against you, then cut to his head. If he intends to cut you like this, then hang on your right side so that his cut is in vain. Then immediately set your left leg between both of his feet and release your left hand from your sword. Thrust between his arms and onto his chin with your left hand. Thus you thrust him into a fall. During the fall grab with your left hand on your sword’s blade and thrust the point into his groin or wherever you want.[37] |

[96] An Oberhaw against the Cut from Below You come to the opponent at the closing thus: stand with your right foot forward and strike strongly with the Oberhaw to his head. If he strikes in strongly against you like this and goes out high with his arms, then stand with your left foot forward, release your left hand from your pommel, and grab your half-blade. Then immediately drop a cut onto both of his arms and with that shove him backwards.[37] If he shoves you away from him like this, step backwards with your right foot and strike in towards his left side from below. If he strikes in at you like this, shove it away with a cut between your hands, step back with your left foot, and strike strongly to the top of his head. If he strikes a high one against you like this, then follow outward with your right foot and wind into the Ochsen with crossed arms. Then immediately follow outward with your left leg and shoot the point into his face. |

[97] A Cut with a Snatch When you come together at the closing and both strike in high at each other, stand with your right foot forward and take note of the cut in the striking. With that cut in over his chest. Should you perceive the cut like this, step with your right foot in front of his right, release your left hand from your pommel and hold him around his neck with it. Sweep his blade into your left hand with yours, extend your right foot directly at the back of his right knee,[37] and snatch downwards strongly. Thus you snatch him to the ground. If he intends to snatch you like this and has both swords held together, then yank your right foot back and step behind his right on the outside. Then immediately cut strongly away from you with the edge. Thus his snatch is countered. Then immediately strike his head with the long edge. If he displaces your strike, wind with your point to his face or chest. |

Atque firmiter in poplitem eius dextrum impelles in modum cancellorum, superne si fortiter deorsum convulseris, tum hostem deiicies in terra vellendo. Verum si is ea contra te ratione utuatur, comprehenderitque gladium utrumque, pedem dextrum levato post adversarii pedem dextrum exterius collocato, interimque usurpando incisuram fortiter abs te si removeris, eius vellicationem evitabis, subito autem caput adversarii acie longa praemissa appetes, eum si hostis exceperit, tum mucronem versus faciem eius vel pectus dirigito. |

[98] A Verkerterhaw ("Spinning/Inverting Strike") When you come together at the closing and each strike together with the Underhaw, come forward with your left foot and strike him from below from your right to his left side. If he strikes towards your left side like this in the Underhaw, stand with your left foot forward and likewise strike against him to his left side with crossed hands. Then immediately release your left hand from your pommel, set it on his left elbow, and cut under his left shoulder with your right hand with your long edge.[37] Then shove him away from you. Thus you spin him. If he intends to spin you like this set your left leg back. Thus you go out of the spin. Then immediately cut to his head. If he cuts towards your head like this, displace it with your long edge, immediately step in with your right foot, and strike to his left arm. |

[066v] Ictus conversi habitus. Utrique si conveneritis ensibus rite more athletico gubernandus, usique sitis ictibus infernis ad invicem, sinistrum pedem praepones, atque versus adversarii latus sinistrum ex latere corporis tui dextro inferne ferias. Verum si appetat ipse feriundo ictum infernum, latus tuum sinistrum, tum sinistro innitens consistas. Vicissim manibus cancellatis contra latus eius sinistrum ictum gubernes, interim vero manum laevam ab ensis tui nodo separes, imponeque eam cubito adversarii sinsitro, atque manum dextra sinisram eius axillam proscindes acie longa praemissa, eoque habitu si abs te propuleris, adversarium convertes. Porro te eadem ratione adversarium aggredientem pedem sinistrum referto, et eo modo, quo minus convertaris ab adversario, effugies, subitoque inde caput eius constringes. Si is idem conetur adversum te, acie ensis tui longa avertes, atque sine mora destro insequutus, brachium adversarii sinistrum conquassabis. |

[99] An Einprechen with a Cut So you come together at the closing and strike out like this against the other: stand with your left foot forward and take note of the Einprechen ("entry") in the striking out. If he then strikes out in front of you like this and goes out high with his arms, break in upon him with the point between his arms such that your hand with your cross stands upon his chest. If he has broken in on you like this, then step with your left foot around the back of his left knee from the outside, with that yank directly downward as you set your long edge on his neck.[37] Then cut him to the ground. If he intends to cut you to the ground like this, step with your right foot in front of his left and immediately set your cross on his chest. With that shove him away from you as you yank your left towards you. Thus you throw the cut and the Hacken ("Leg Hook") free. Then immediately strike quickly to his right side. |
[071r] Ainn einprechen mit ainnem schnidt. Item so Ir mit Dem zufechten zusamen kument. vnnd also gogen ainannder aufstreicht. so nimb des einprechens Inn dem aufstreichen gewar. vnnd stand mit deinnem Linncken fuosz vor. streicht er dann auf vor dir vnd gat hoch auf mit seinnen Armen. so prich Im mit dem ort zwischen seinnen armen hinnein. das deinne hend an seinner prust steend. mit deinnem creitz. hat er dir also eingeprochen. so tritt mit deinnem Linncken fuosz umb sein Lincke kniepug ausswendig. zeuch damit fast vnndersich. vnnd setz Im dein Lannge schneid ann seinnen hals. schneid In damit zu der erden. begert er dich also zuschneiden. so trit mit deinnem Rechten fuosz fur seinen Linncken. Indes setz Im dein Creitz an sein prust. scheub In damit oben von dir vnnd zuckh deinnen Linncken zu dir. so wirstu des schnidts vnnd des hacken ledig. Indes haw Im behend Nach seiner rechten seiten. |
[050r] Ein einbrechen mit ainem schnit. Item so Ir mit dem zufechten zusamen komend, und also gegeneinander aufstreicht, so nimb des einbrechens zu dem aufstreichen gewar, unnd stand mit deinem linggen fuß vor. Streicht er dann auff vor dir, und geet auch auff mit seinen armen, so brich Im mit dem ort zwischen seinen armen hinein, das deine hend an seiner prust steend mit deinem kreutz. Hat er dir also eingebrochen, so tritt mit deinem linggen fuß umb sein lingge kniebug außwendig, zeuch damit vast undersich, und setz Im dein lange schneid an seinen hals, schneid In damit zu der erden. Begert er dich also zuschneiden, so trit mit deinem rechten fuß für seinen lingken.

In des haw Im behend nach seiner rechten. |
[067r] Irruptio cum incisionis habitu. Si digladiando conveneritis, et gladios vibraveritis sursum, tum diligenter irruptionem ex ipso vibrationis habitu observabis praefixo pede sinistro. Sed si adversarius ensem sursum vibrarit, alteque brachia levarit, mucronem ensis tui intra brachia eius ingerito, pectori adversarii manibus tuis applicatus pariter cum ensis cruce. Sin autem eadem ratione versum te irruperit hostis, tum dextro pede circumduces eius poplitem sinistrum exterius, eoque habitu deprimito fortiter, atque longam ensis tui aciem eius collo adplices, proscindendo adversarium humi prosternes. Cum vero ipse idem effuere conetur, tum dextrum pedi adversarii praepones sinistro, atque interim crucem ensis tui eius pectori applicabis, eo modo abs te eum propelles superne, attractoque versus te pede sinistro, te facile ab incisura itidemque a discrimine infligendi pedis, idest quo minus adversarius pede suo suram aggrediatur pedis tui, atque te prosternat, liberabis inde autem celeriter eius latus sinistrum pulsato. |

[100] Two Underhaw from Both Sides When you come together at the closing with the Underhaw, set your right leg in front and strike towards his left side.[37] If he then also stands with the right foot opposite you and strikes at your left side, step with your left foot behind his right and strike high to his head. If he strikes towards your head like this and you stand with your right foot forward, follow outward with your left and displace his strike with your long edge. Then immediately thrust your left foot to his groin. If he thrusts towards your groin like this, release your left hand from your sword, sweep his left leg, and lift it upward. Thus you throw him on his back. If he has grabbed your left leg like this and will throw you backwards, set your point on his neck and shove him away from you. Thus he must release you. |
[071v] Zwen vnnderhew vonn baiden seiten. Item wann Ir Inn dem zufechten mit vnderhaw_ zusamen Kument. so setz deinnen rechten schennckel hinfur vnnd haw Im nach seinner Linncken seiten. stat er dann auch mit dem rechten fuosz gogen dir vnnd hawt dir auch auf dein linncke seiten. so trit mit deinnem Linncken fuosz hinnder seinnen rechten. vnnd haw Im oben zu seinnem kopff. hawt er dir also zu deinnem kopff. vnnd du mit deinnem rechten fuosz vorstast. so volg mit deinnem Linncken hinnach vnnd versetz Im den haw mit deinner Lanngen schneid. stosz Indes mit deinnem Linncken fuosz.

[067v] Duo ictus inferiores ex latere utroque. Quum usurpando ictus inferiores congredmini, dextrum praefigito pedem versusque sinistrum adversasrii latus ferito. Sed si vicissim contra te dextro is innitens constiterit, idemque latus appetiverit, tum retro ipsius pedem dextrum, tuum sinistrum dirigens versus caput adversarii superne ferias. Ceterum si is idem conetur efficere te dextrum praeponentem, sinistro mox insequitor, atque ictum eius acie ensis tui longa praemissa excipito, inde laevum pedem genitalibus impellito adversarii. Sin autem ratione eadem is fuerit usus ab ense tuo manum sinistram seiunges, et adversarii pedem laevum apprehende, eoque modo si sublevaris, eum supinum prosternes. Sin vero tibi pedem praenominatum arripuerit, conaturque te supinum sternere, tum mucronem gladii tui, eius collo adiungito, eoque habitu si propuleris, adversarius te missum facere cogetur. |

[101] An Oberhaw with an Einschiessen When you come to the opponent at the closing, stand with your left foot forward and strike the Oberhaw in strongly from above to his head. If he displaces your strike, wind your short edge on his neck and immediately strike quickly with crossed arms around to the right side of his head with the Zwirch. If he strikes the Zwirch against you like this, displace it with your long edge and step with your left foot inside in front of his left. Then immediately release your left hand from your pommel and grab him behind his left knee. With that lift directly upwards and shoot your short edge over both of his arms.[37] Then shove high directly away from you. Thus you may throw him. If he intends to throw you like this, cut strongly from high downwards. Thus he must release you. Then immediately wind into the Hanging Point, step outward with your right leg, and strike to his right ear. |

Item wann du mit dem zufechten zu dem Mann kumpst. so stee mit deinnem Linncken fuosz vor. vnnd haw Im den oberhaw starckh von oben ein zu seinem kopff. versetzt er dir den haw. so winnd Im dein kurtze schneid an seinnen hals. vnnd haw Indes behennd mit gecreitzgiten armen widerumb zu seinner rechten seiten sein seinnes kopffs. mit der zwirch. hawt er die zwirch also gogen dir. so versetz Im die mit deinner Lanngen schneid. vnnd trit mit deinnem Linncken fuosz fur seinnen Linncken Innwenndig Indes lasz deinn linncken hannd von deinnem knopff vnnd greiff Im nach seiner lincken kniepug. heb damit fast vbersich. vnnd scheusz Im dein kurtze schneid vber seinne baid arm. scheub oben vast von dir. so magstu In werffen. begert er dich also zuwerffen. so schneid starkh oben nider. so muosz Er dich lassen.

[068r] Ictus superior cum impulsu ensis. Perveniente te in conspectum adversarii, pedem sinistrum praepones et fortiter e supernis ictum praenominatum versus eius caput ferito. Sed si ictum hostis eluserit, tum ensis tui aciem brevem collo eius inflectendo adiungito. Inde celeriter brachiis cancellatis transversarium usurpando rursum versus partem capitis eius dextram ferias. Si modo eodem sinistrum eius laevo praeponens interius. Si a nodo ensis tui manum sinistram removeris, eadem eius poplitem sinsitrum apprehenderis sublevarisque habitu praedicto fortiter, impellito aciem ensis tui brevem suprabrachium adversarii utrumque, abs te impetu, haud exiguo eum superne abigito, et ea ratione prosternere licebit. Verum si idem is fuerit molitus, firmiter si e supernis deorsum incidendo depresseris, irritos eius labores efficies, interim autem in mucronem pendentem inflectes et si fueris dextro insecutus, feriundo dextram adversarii aurem adpetito. |

[102] A Throw at the Sword When you both strike in at the other strongly with the Zornhaw and each intend to displace high at his head, determine whether he is soft or hard at his sword. If he is soft and does not hold strongly against you, then wind your short edge at his left ear. If he displaces this, then immediately let your sword fall and stoop with your head between his legs, grab around both of his knees with your arms, and with that lift upwards. Thus you throw him or may carry him wherever you want.[37] If he holds you for a throw like this or will carry you away, let your sword fall, grab with your left hand to his left foot and with your right inside to his groin. Thus you stop the throw and lock him in so that he can no longer hurt you by throwing you from him. |
[072v] Ainn wurff Inn dem Schwert. Item wann Ir Inn dem zornhaw ainnannder Starck oben einhawent vnnd ain Jeglicher seinnen kopff hoch zuuersetzen begert. so empfind ob er waich oder hert sey ann seinnem schwert.

[068v] Quo habitu adversarius queat prosterni ex ense Quando acriter ex ictibus, qui ex ira fieri solent, unde etiam nomen sortitur ictus irae appellantur, mutus ad invicem feriatis, et uterque summo studio caput suum defendere nitatur: tum studiose observabis, num gladium adversarius firmiter vel minus in manibus contineat. Si infirmum senseris, atque molliter resistentem, aurem eius laevam inflectendo praemissa acie brevi adpetes. Excipiente id adversario, celerrime gladium abiice, et inter eius genitalia capite inclinato, poplitem ipsius utrumque ambobus brachiis tuis apprehende, sursum si ea ratione sublevaris, eum prosternere, vel asportare, in quemcunque locum voles poteris. Ceterum, si te eodem habitu fuerit aggressus, ense itidem abiecto, manu sinistra, ipsius pedem sinistrum apprehende, necnon dextra interius loca tegenda, tum te quo minus concidas, liberabis. Inde autem te in ipsum si reieceris, nullo modo abseque sui detrimento te prosternerne quibit. |

[103] Another Throw at the Sword When you come together at the closing and the other has you in the bind, stand with your right foot forward and immediately work quickly with him weak and strong and wind your pommel between his arms. If he intends to wind in upon you like this, set this aside with the Kron and immediately stab with your point to his face or chest. If he sets your point aside, cut over both of his arms and with that snatch his sword out of his hands. If he snatches your sword out of your hands like this and you stand with your left foot forward, then grab with your right hand at his right side and with your left at his left side with extended arms. Thus you throw him onto his head.[37] |
[073r] Einn annderer wurff Inn dem schwert. Item wann Ir mit dem zufechten zusamen kument. Vnnd ainannder angepvnnden habt. so stee mit deinnem rechten fuosz vor. Indes arbait behend mit Im schwech vnnd sterckh. vnnd winnd Im mit deinnem knopff zwischen seinen Armen hinnein. Begert er dir also einzuwinnden. so setz Im das ab mit der Kron. Indes stich Im mit deinnem Ort zu seinnem gesicht oder der prust. setz er dir deinnen ort ab. so schneid In vber baid arm. reisz Im damit seinn schwert ausz seinnen henden. reist er dir deinn schwert also ausz deinnen henden. vnnd du mit deinnem Lincken fuosz vorstast. so greiff Im mit deinner rechten hannd auf seinn rechten seiten. vnd mit deinner Linncken auf seinn lincke seiten mit geschrennckten Armen. so wirfstu In auf seinnen kopff. |

In des arbait behend mit Im schwech und sterck, unnd wind Im mit deinem knopff zwischen seinen armen hinein. Begert er dir also einzuwinden, so setz Im das ab mit der Cron. In des stich Im mit deinem ort zu seinem gesicht oder der prust, setz er dir deinen ort ab, so schneid In über baid arm, reiß Im damit sein schwert aus seinen henden. Reist er dir dein schwert also aus deinen henden, und du mit deinem linggen fuß vorsteest, so greiff Im mit deiner rechten hand auf sein rechte seitten, und mit deiner linggen auff sein lingke seitten mit geschrenckten armen, so wurfst du In auff seinen kopff. |
[069r] Alius modus, quo pacto ex ense adversarius possit sterni. Cum ex primo congressu enses mutuo contigeritis, dextrum pedem praefigere memineris, interim celeriter laborabis cum adversario per locum ensis firmiorem et infirmiorem, atque inflectendo ensis tui ndoum inter eius brachia dirigito. Et si is idem contra te usurparit, tum corona eum habitum excipito, id est manu sinistra medium ensem tenendo dextra capulum, subitoque mucronem in faciem vel pectus eius alacriter infigito. Si mucronem averterit adversarius, tum eius brachium utrumque scindendo laedito, eoque habitu ensem ex manibus ipsius evelles. Verum si ensem ex manibus tuis eodem modo evellere conabitur adversarius, te sinistro pede innitente, tum dextrum eius latus, manu dextra, nec non manu sinistra adversarii sinistrum cancellatis brachiis si arripueris, in caput eum facile praecipitaveris. |

[104] The Sunnen Zaigen ("showing the sun") with a Throw When you come together at the closing, stand with your left foot forward and hit from below at his left ear. If you then stand with your left foot opposite him and he hits towards your left ear like this, displace this with your long edge, immediately let the weak of your sword run, and strike to his right ear with crossed arms. If he displaces this, let your sword fall, thrust your right hand on his jaw, and grab high at the right side of his head with your left. Thus you turn his face against the sun. If he holds you like this, grab with your right hand around the back of his left knee and with your left on his jaw and immediately work with him weak and strong.[37] |
[073v] Das Sunnen zaigen mit ainnem Wurff. Item wann Ir mit dem zufechten zusamen kument. So stannd mit deinnem Linncken fuosz vor vnnd streich vonn vnnden auf. seinnem linncken Ohr zu. stastu dann also mit deinnem Linncken fuosz gogen Im. vnnd er dir zu deinnem linncken Ohr streicht. so versetz Im das mit lannger schneid.

Hat er dich also gefaßt, so greiff mit deiner rechten hand umb sein lingge kniebug und mit der linggen an seinen kinbacken. In des arbait mit Im schwech und sterck. |
[069v] Quem in modum adversario caput versus solem elevando convertere possis, addita sternendi ratione. Si fueritis ensibus consetudine athletica regendis mutuo congressi, praepones pedem sinistrum, atque ab inferne sursum versus aurem adversarii sinistram ensem celeriter vibrando regito. Consistente vero te pede sinistro priori, eodemque habitu te fuerit aggressus acie ensis tui longa avertes, inde loco ensis infirmiori utitor, atque feriundo aurem eius dextram adpetes brachiis cancellatis, excipiente id adversario, gladium abiicias, atque mentum eius manu dextra impellito, sinistraque partem capitis adversarii dextram si apprehenderis, versus solem convertes eius faciem. Porro si te ratione eadem apprehenderit, tum manu dextra eius poplitem sinsitrum circumducendo arripe, atque sinistra eius mentum, interimque cum adversario fortiter certabis ex ensis loco tum firmiori tum infirmiori. |

[105] An Inside Armlock When you come together at the closing and each hit together with high strikes, it happens like this: stand with your right foot forward and immediately let your sword fall. Then grab with your left hand on his right and with your right between both of his arms inside to his right elbow bend. Then turn yourself upwards on your left side to lock his arm.[37] If he will then lock your arm and you stand with your right foot forward and hold your sword in your left hand, drop your pommel over his right arm and snatch directly downwards. Thus you have countered him and may yank your long edge over his head and quickly stab your point to his face. |
[074r] Ainn Innwenndiger Armpruch. Item wann Ir mit dem zufechten zusamen komend. Vnnd euch mit obern hewen zusamen hawent. so schickh dich also. stannd mit deinnem Rechten fuosz vor Indes lasz deinn schwert fallen greiff Im mit deinner Linncken hannd nach seinner rechten. vnnd mit deinner rechten zwischen seinnen baiden armen hinnein Innwenndignach seinnem rechten Armbug vnnd winnd dich vbersich auf dein Lincken seiten. so prichstu Im den arm. will er dir dann den Arm prechen. vnnd du mit deinnem rechten fuosz vorstast. vnnd heltst dein schwert Inn deinner linncken hannd. so fall mit deinnem knopff vber seinnen rechten Arm reisz damit fast vnndersich. so hast du Im das prochen vnnd magst Im dein Lannge schneid vber den kopff ziehen. vnnd In behennd mit deinnem Ort zu seinnem gesicht stechen. |

Reiß damit vast undersich, so hast du Im das brochen, und magst Im dein lange schneid über den kopff ziehen, und In behend mit deinem ort zu seinem gesicht stechen. |
[070r] Fractio brachii interior. Cum in primo conflictu ictibus supernis usi invicem fueritis, dextrum pedem praepones, inde gladium abiice, sinistraque manu, adversarii dextram apprehendere conaberis: nec non manu dextra intra utrumque ipsius brachium, dextri lacerti curvaturam interius sursum si televaris inflectendo versus latus tuum sinistrum, absque ulla difficultate hostis brachium infregeris. Porrp si te ratione eadem fuerit adversarius aggressus, dextro innitentem, manu sinistra si ensem tenueris, tum supra eius brachium dextrum nodum ensis tui dirigens, valde deorsum vellendo deprimito, et periculum tibi ab adversario structum, devitabis, simulque atque longa leviter ducenda caput eius sauciabus, atque celeriter mucronem in faciem adversarii infigito. |

[106] An Outside Armlock When you come together at the closing it happens like this: stand with your right foot forward and strike high with the Zwirch to his head. If he strikes the Zwirch towards you like this and you stand with your right foot forward, displace it with your long edge, immediately let your sword fall, grab with your right hand on his right elbow and with your left forward near his right [hand]. With that turn yourself to your right side so that you lock his arm outward.[37] If he will lock your arm like this, likewise let your sword fall and set your left hand on his right elbow. Thus you lock his arm as well. Then immediately grab his right leg with your right hand and with your left around his body on his right side. Then with that lift upwards so that you throw him. |

[070v] Fractio brachii exterior. Si in adversarii conspectum prope gladiatorio more ense gubernando acesseris, dextrum praeponere pedem non dubites, et transversarium exercendo caput eius superne appetes. Sed si is contra te ictum eundem usurparit, dextrum praefigentem, eum habitum acie ensis tui longa praemissa avertes, interea autem gladium proiicias, dextrum eius cubitum manu tua dextra arripe, nec non manu sinistra eius manum anteriorem dextram eo modo in latus corporis tui dextrum si deflexeris, brachium infringes adversario extrinsecus. Verum si hostis ratione consimili tibi brachium infringere conetur, vicissim ensem abiicies atque laevam manum eius cubito dextro imponito, et vicissim brachium adversarii dextra, ilia ipsius circundabis, et si sublevaris, adversarium prosternes. |

[107] An Armlock with a Throw When you come together at the closing, strike in the Schranckhut ("Barrier Guard") on your right side such that your long edge stands high. Then step with your right foot behind his right such that the back of your right knee stands on his right. If he then strikes against you like this and you lie in the Schranckhut, then take his strike away with your long edge, immediately let your sword fall, grab with your right hand on his right [hand] and with your left on his right elbow.[37] Then press with that onto your right side so that you lock his arm. If he holds you like this and intends to lock your arm and you have the sword low in both hands and your right foot set forward, then set your left leg behind his right. Thus you will be free of the armlock and may work with him whatever you want. |
[075r] Ainn armbruch mit ainnem wurff. Item wann Ir mit dem zufechten zusamen kument. So haw dich Inn die schrannckhut auf deinn Rechten seiten. das dein Lannge schneid oben stee. vnnd trit mit deinnem rechten fuosz hinnder seinnen rechten. das Im dein rechte kniebug Inn seinner rechte stee. hawt er dann also gogen dir. vnnd du Inn der schranckhut ligst. so nimb seinnen haw hinnweckh mit deinner Lanngen schneid.

[071r] Qua ratione infringere brachium liceat. Utroque invicem congresso gladiis rite regendis, uteris custodia cancellata, is habitus autem ita se habet, mucronem terrae imponito, nodus ensis sursum ut vergat, capulum manibus cancellatis contineas, ut habitus us supra sufficienter descriptus est. id autem fiat ex latere corporis tui dextro. Tum etiam acies longa superior existat, atque dextrum adversarii sinistro pedi postpones, ut poples tuus dexter in illius poplite dextro consistat. Sed si contra te hostis feriat habitu praenominato utentem scilicet cancellata custodia, tum acie longa eius ictum avertes , inde vero ensem abiicies, manuque dextra eius dextram apprehendito, atque sinistrum, et ea ratione brachium adversario infringes. Sin autem te contra fuerit complexus, brachium tuum infringere cupiat, contineasque ensem adhuc manu utraque pede dextro praeposito, tum pedem sinistrum retro adversarii dextrum ponito, et te ea ratione liberabis, ne brachium ab hoste infringatur, simulque ictubus, quos voles uteris |

[108] An Underhaw with an Armlock When you come to the opponent at the closing, set your right foot forward and strike in the Underhaw. If he displaces this, step in front with your left leg and wind the point into his face. Should you perceive this thrust and stand with your left foot forward, set it aside with your long edge, immediately let your sword fall, set your left hand on his right elbow and the right below his right shoulder, yank towards you with that and shove high away form you. Thus you lock his arm.[37] If he has set upon you like this and will lock your arm, yank your left foot backwards and cut with the entire strong [portion of the blade] through the head. If he cuts you like this, let your hand go from his elbow and step with a false step in the triangle. Thus his cut is in vain and you cannot be harmed. |

[071v] Ictus unferus, addito etiam quo modo possis adversario brachium confringere. Cum prope in conspectum adversarii perveneris, pedem dextrum praeponito, praeparatoque te in ictum infernum, et si eum exceperit adversarius, sinistro progredi memento, et mucronem ensis tui contra faciem inflectes. Sin autem id ab eo fieri intellexeris prefixo pede sinistro, tum eum acie longa praemissa avertito, interim autem ensem abiicies atque eius cubito dextro manum sinistram imponito, et dextram dirigito sub eius dextram axillam, eo modo versum te attrahito, superne autem adversarium si propuleris, brachium infringes. Et si is utatur ratione eadem, volueritque brachium tibi infringere, pedem sinistrum referes, nec non omnibus viribus incidendo caput eius sauciabis. Cum vero te perstringere habitu praedicto volet hostis, tum manus tuas a cubito eius seiunges, utitorque falso gradu in triangulum eundo, atque hoc modo adversarii incisionem eludes, nec quicquam conari quibit. |

[109] The First Technique in the Kron It happens hence that you close against the Kron. Strike him with the long edge to the top of his head such that your right foot stands forward. If he displaces this with the Kron, then step in with your left leg, take your strike once again and wind your point to his chest. If he sets your point aside also with the Kron, follow outward with your right foot and grip with your left hand at the mid-point of your blade and thrust powerfully to his face. If he goes on to displace this, then step with your left foot on his right side and thrust to his groin. If you come to perceive such a groin thrust and stand with your left foot forward in the Kron, then set it aside with the Kron, follow outward with your right foot, and thrust with your point to his face. If he displaces this, then strike him with your crossguard to his head. |

[072r] Primus habitus ex corona. Contra coronam hoc modo te adaptabis: acie longa ensis tui praemissas versus adversarii verticem ferias praefixo pede dextro. Si is coronae habitu exceperit tum sinistro ingredere, rursusque ictum eundem arripito, et mucronem tui ensis contra adversarii pectus impelle inflectendo. Sed si vicissim eum corona averterit, dextro consequitor pede, necnon tuum ensem medium manu sinistra apprehendes, totisque viribus versus faciem eius ficito. Cumque rursum exceperit adversarius, tum in dextrum eius latus pede sinsitro concede, figendoque eius genitalia appetes. Et si idem ab adversario fieri intelliges, praevixerisque pedem sinistrum in habitu coronae, tum corona punctione eius contra te factam avertes, consecutus dextro, mucronem tui ensis in eius faciem impellito, cumque is ei exceperit, tum crucem ensis tui eius capiti illides. |

[110] The Cut through the Kron When you come to the closing with the opponent and he stands against you in the Kron, then stand with your left foot forward and strike him with an Underhau from your right side. With that Cut in through the Kron over his chest and over his right arm. If he cuts you like this and you stand with your right foot forward, then follow outward with the left and set the cut aside with the portion of your blade between your hands. Then immediately wind upward and stab the point to his face or chest. If he displaces the point, then release your right hand from your hilt and grip near your left at your sword’s blade. Then immediately strike to his head with the crossguard and with the pommel. If he strikes you with his pommel like this, then displace him with the Kron, and grip with your left hand at your sword’s blade. Thus you can also cut or thrust him. |

[072v] Incisio per coronam. Quando digladiando ad adversarium accessisti, et is contra te in coronae habitu constiterit, sinistrum pedem praefigere non dubites, atque versus eum uctum infernum de latere tuo dextro feriendo usurpabis, et per coronam eo habitu pectus adversarii incidendo perstringes, perque brachium eius dextrum. Sin vero ipse te ea ratione perstrinxerit, tuque pedem dextrum praefixeris, sinistro statim consequitor, atque ense tuo incisuram adversarii inter manus tuas avertito, inter autem sursum inflectes et mucronem in adversarii faciem vel pectus impellito. Sed si eum exceperit hostis, tum a capulo ensis tui manum dextram seiunges, eamque sinistrae consistenti in medio ense adiuges, indeque subito crucem et nodum ensis tui capiti eius illidito. Si autem ipse idem moliatur efficere, cum coronae habitu averteris, ensem medium sinsitra arripe manu, et stringes adversarium nec non pungere eum licebit. |

[111] Blowing through the Kron It happens hence at the closing on the Kron. Stand with your right foot forward and strike him with an Oberhau to the head. Follow with your left foot after the strike such that your crossguard comes on his blade with the long edge. Then immediately pull downwards so that you cut him through the top of the head. If he cuts you through the top of the head like this and you stand with your right foot forward, then step with your left leg in front of his left and push upon his sword at his left side such that the pommel comes onto his neck. With that pull to your right side. If he pulls you like this to his right side, then set this aside with your Schildt ("ricasso") and stab your pommel into his face. If he stabs you to the face like this, then follow outward with the right foot and set aside the stab with your sword’s blade between your hands. Then immediately stab with your point to his face or chest. |

[112] A Cut with an Uberfallen ("dropping/falling over") from the Kron When you come to the closing with the opponent, set your left foot forward, follow with the right outward and strike with an Unterhau to his left side with crossed arms. If he strikes like this to your left side and you stand with your right foot forward, then release your left hand from your sword and grab his sword’s blade such that you keep his point under your left shoulder. Then immediately shoot your sword over his hilt with your right hand and with your short edge. Thus you displace his cut in the Kron and with that can take his sword. If he intends to take your sword like this, then step with your left leg in front of his right and release your left hand from your sword’s pommel. With that grab your mid blade and cut him hence back away from you. |

[113] The First Kampfstuck of the Longsword When you close with the opponent, it happens consequently that you use this Kampfstuck. Stand with your right foot forward and grip your sword’s blade near the point with your left hand and wind your right extended forward with your pommel opposite his face. Follow with your left leg outward and thrust the pommel into his face. If he displaces this, take your pommel once more and wind back in at your right side. Then immediately stab the point into his face. If he stabs the point to your face like this and you stand with your left foot forward, then take his point out to your left side with your point, follow with your right foot outward, and thrust your pommel into his face or chest. If he thrusts his pommel at you like this, then set this aside with the portion of your blade between your hands and work with him nimbly at the Vor ("before") and at the Nach ("after"). |

[114] The Second Kampfstuck of the Longsword When you come at the opponent with this Kampfstuck, it happens hence as follows. Stand with your left foot forward and hold your sword on your right side. Grip your blade with your left hand with your point wound forward. Follow with your right foot outward and grab your blade with your right hand near to your left. Then immediately strike him with your pommel to his head. If he strikes like this towards your head and you stand with your right foot forward in the half Kron ("crown"), then follow with your left foot outward and drive upward well into the complete Kron over your head so that you displace him.

[115] The Third Kampfstuck of the Longsword When you go to close with the opponent such that your right foot stands forward, then wind your hand in front and grasp your sword by the blade. Then immediately strike him with your pommel to his upper opening and follow with your left leg outward so that the blow is struck properly. If you do not do this, the blow will be too short. If he strikes with his pommel like this at you, then step with your right foot forward and displace him with the half Kron. Then immediately set your sword blade at his crossguard and with that pull his sword out of his hands. If he pulls your sword away like this, then step with your right foot behind his left, grab with your left hand at his left foot and with the right hand on his left shoulder, and shove him with both swords over and over. Should he perceive the shove, then step with a false step in the triangle. Thus you go from him out of the shove. |

Cum autem id fieri ab hoste intellexeris, falso gradu in triangulum directo usus, impulsu eum vitabis. |

[116] The Fourth Kampstuck of the Longsword When you come together at the closing and both fire the points at each other’s chest, then stand with your left foot forward, step with the right outward, and strike with the pommel to his left ear. If he strikes like this to your left ear, do not displace him, but rather thrust with your point to his face or chest. If he thrusts like this to your face, then set his point aside with your point and wind your pommel under his left arm. Pull with that towards your right side. If he pulls you like this towards him, then release your left hand from your blade and wind inside between his arms. Then immediately pull upward at your right side. If he pulls you like this towards him, then release your left hand from your blade and thrust in with that on his right elbow. Thus you have him locked, and may work with him as you will. |

Follow with the right foot outward and set your pommel behind his neck, and with that pull to your right side. If he pulls you like this, then grip your hilt once again with your right hand and set your right leg behind your left. Thus you should stop his pulling and cut over both of his arms. Should you perceive such a cut, then set it aside with the Kron. Then immediately thrust to his face with your point. |

[1] The Zornhaw against the Schaitler When you proceed to close with the opponent, stand with your left foot forward and it happens like this with the Zornhaw. Hold your Duseggen with extended arm above your head on the right side such that the point hangs to the rear,[41] strike with the Zornhaw to the left side of his head, immediately follow outward with your right foot, and thrust to the right side of his face. If he thrusts like this towards your face and you stand in the Schaitler with your left foot forward,[42] set his thrust aside with your long edge, follow outward with your right leg, and immediately strike to the left side of his head. If he displaces this, spring with your left foot before his right and strike with the long edge to his head. If he then strikes a long one from above towards you like this, step in with your left leg and displace his strike, then immediately strike towards him with an Underhaw from your right to his left side. |

[2] The Underhaw from Both Sides It happens that you stand in the Underhaw with your right foot forward and hold your Duseggen with the hilt in front of your head and the point extended towards the opponent.[41] Immediately follow outward with your left leg and strike with the Zwirch' to the right side of his head. If he displaces the Zwirch, pull the blow back completely and strike again to his right arm. If he strikes you double like this at your right side and you stand with your left foot forward, set this aside with your long edge and immediately wind upwards over your head, step outward with your right foot and strike quickly to the upper opening on his right side. If he displaces this, wind the point to his face or chest. If he then sets you aside like this, follow outward with your right foot and strike from above to the top of his head. |

[3] The Bogen from Both Sides So you come to the opponent at the closing and it happens that you stand in the Bogen ("bow") with your right foot forward such that your long edge is turned upward and your point is extended towards the opponent.[37] Immediately follow outward with your left leg and strike to his right elbow from below. If he displaces this, step with your right foot in front of and inside his right foot and strike to his head from above. If he strikes to you like this from above and you also stand opposite him in the Bogen, set your right leg backwards and strike into the Zwirchhaw so that his strike is displaced. Then immediately step in with your right foot once again and strike him on his left side. If he displaces this, follow outward with your left foot and thrust to his face. If he then thrusts like this to your face, set it aside with your long edge. Then immediately step outward with your left foot and strike with the Zwirchhaw to his right arm. |

[101r] Arcus ex latere utroque. Quum in adversarii conspectum acinace gubernando rite perveneris, dextrum praeponere non dubitabis, ita tamen ut superne acies acinacis tui longa appareat, mucro recta in hostem porrectus. Deinde laevo pede insequeris, atque sursum de terra ad dextrum adversarii cubitum feries. Is vero si habitum hunc exceperit tum eius pedi dextro dextrum tuum pedem praepones interius, et superne caput adversarii pulsabis. Sin vero idem adversarius contra te usurparit, teque in habitu arcus consistente contra hostem dextrum pedem referes retrorsum et si feriendo usus fueris transversario ictu ictus adversarii hoc modo fuerit aversus. Subito autem crure dextro intro concedes et latus eius sinistrum feriundo acquires. Hoste id excipiente sinistro consequutus si fueris, mucronem in faciem eius infigito. Et cum ratione adversarius consimili contra te utatur, mucronem eius acie longa acinacis tui praemissa avertes, celeriter interim insequutus pede sinistro habitu transversarii dextrum hostis brachium adpetes. |

[4] Two Absetzen from Both Sides When you go to close with the opponent, it happens that you stand in the Absetzen ("Set Aside/Parry Position") with your right foot forward and hold the Duseggen at your right chest. Immediately follow outward with your left leg and strike to his right arm from below. If he strikes to your right arm like this and you also stand in the Absetzen with your right foot set forward, set it aside with your long edge. Then immediately follow outward with your left leg, grab with your left hand at his right, and strike him to his head. If he has grabbed you like this and struck one from above, set your left hand on his right elbow and shove to stop his blow. Then immediately pull your right arm back, step behind him and strike to his upper opening. He displaces this promptly, so catch him again with a Zwirchhaw to his head. If he does a Zwirchhaw like this to your head, catch him with a Krumphaw and cut to his face, then strike yourself from there to the rear. |
[117v] Zwan absetzen vonn baiden seiten Item wann du mit Dem zufechten zu dem Man geest. so schickh dich also Inn das absetzen. stannd mit deinnem Rechten fuosz vor vnd halt den duseggen an deinner rechten prust.

[101v] Duae aversiones ex latere utroque. Quum ad hostem acinace more athletico regendo accesseris, dextrum praepones, atque iuxta pectus acinacem continebis dextrum, interimque insequutus pede dextro sinistro versus brachium adversarii dexrum ex loco infero sursum ferito. Si is eadem contra te facere molitur, et tu in habitu aversionis consisteris praefixo pede dextro, acie longa acinacis tuo praemissa excipies ictum. Subitoque insequere laevo, et apprehende manu tua sinistra eius dextram caput feriundo adpetito. Et si is hostis te modo eodem arripuerit, atque superne ad te feriat, tum ensis cubito dextro manum sinistram si adiunxeris vis ictus avertetur adversarii. Interea brachium tuum sinistrum versum te adducito et retrorsum si concesseris, nuditatem eius supernam pulsabis. Sed si rursum is exceperit, tum vicissim instando, nec non transversarium usurpando versus caput ferias. Cum vero eodem habitu te aggredi studuerit, curve illi incides feriundo, et perstringes incisione faciem eius, eaque ratione retrorsum ictibus gubernandis concedes. |

[5] The Zwingerhaw with the Schrankhut You come to the opponent at the closing and it happens that you stand in the Zwingerhaw ("Swinging Strike") with your right foot forward and your Duseggen at your left shoulder.[41] Immediately follow outward with your left leg and strike his right arm. Thus you swing in so that he must displace.[60] If he swings towards you like this to displace you and you stand with your right foot forward in the Schrankhut ("Barrier Guard") with the point on the ground and the long edge directed at the opponent,[42] then pull your right foot back and go upwards with the Duseggen in front of your head. Then immediately step outward again with the right leg and strike to his left side. If he displaces this, hang on your right side so that the long edge is turned upwards, spring with your left foot behind his right, and strike with the Zwirch to his right ear. If he does the Zwirch like this to your right side, displace it with your long edge. Then immediately step in with your right leg and cut inward to his right arm from below while simultaneously gripping his right hand with your left so that you have gained the upper opening. |

[6] The Entrusthaw against the Oberhaw It happens that you stand in the Entrusthaw ("Anger Strike") with your left foot forward and hold your Duseggen with the hilt at your right knee such that the point is turned towards the opponent.[41] He then strikes to your upper opening, so follow outward with your right foot and go with your Duseggen up over your head so that the long edge is turned upward and his strike is displaced. Then immediately strike quickly with the Zwirch to his right ear. If he strikes like this with a Zwirch to your right ear and you stand with your right foot forward, displace him with your long edge and follow outward with the left foot. Then quickly Ablauffen ("flow off") and strike his right arm. If he displaces this, follow after him double with a thrust to his face or chest. If he then follows after you like this, step to the rear with your right leg and strike him at the same time double to his head. If he strikes double like this towards you, step with your right foot in front of his left and wind with your short edge on his long edge at his left side. Then immediately cut to his face or neck. |

[102v] Ictus severus contra ictum supernum. Eum habitum ita exercebis: sinistrum pedem praeponito, et acinacem supra genu dextrum tuum contineto ex capulo ita ut mucro contra adversarium sit porrectus, et si versus nuditatem supernam adversarius feriat, dextro pede consequitor, et elevato acinace supra tuum caput, conversa acie longa superne, frustra hostis feriet, eadem ratione eius ictus eludetur. Celeriter autem transversarius ictum usurpando adversarii aurem dextram pulsabis. Sin vero habitu consimili is usus fuerit contra te, te dextrum praefigente pedem, ictum eius acie longa praemissa avertes. Sinistro insequitor, et celeriter ictu iterato, eius brachium dextrum adpetito. Sed si is rursus ictum averterit, dupliciter instando consequeris, mucronem in faciem eius vel pectus infigendo. Quum vero modo non dissimili tibi obviarit, pedem dextrum referto, et caput eius ictu gemino appetes. Sin autem is eadem ictus ratione contra te utatur, tum pedem dextrum adversarii sinsitro praepones, atque aciem acinacis tui brevem in eius longam inflectendo adpones versus adversarii latus sinsitrum, et inde incidendo in eius faciem vel collum prorumpes. |

[7] A Low Mundiern with a Geferhaw When you come to the closing with the opponent, it happens that you stand in the low Mundiern ("transition/changer") with your right foot forward, the long edge below the hilt near your right knee such that the point is going in between your legs. Immediately go up and follow outward with your left leg such that your long edge is turned upward and the point directed at the opponent. Follow outward with your right foot once again and strike with the long edge to his head. You stand against him in the Geferhaw ("Danger Strike") with your right foot set forward and he strikes like this at you. Set your right leg to the rear again and go with your Duseggen well up over your head such that the long edge stands above. Thus his strike is displaced. Then immediately work quickly at the weak and strong seeking from one opening to another, from below and above. If he then seeks your openings like this from above, Duplier ("double") the opponent towards his face so that you deceive him to think you have made a following stroke to his head. If he consequently sets this aside, strike a Creizhaw ("Cross Strike") in front of his face to his right arm. |

[103r] Mutatio acinacis inferna cum ictu fortuito.

Interimque acinacem levabis sursum sinistro insimul consequitor, ut tamen acies longa superior existat, mucroque contra adversarium porrectus, atque rursus crure dextro insequutus, acie longa praemissa caput eius pulsato. Sin vero in ictu praedicto scilicet fortuito constiteris, dextrum pedem praeponens, isque te hac ratione aggreditur, dextrum referto, et acinace sursum supra caput sublato, ut acies longa appareat, ita ictus adversarii fuerit elisus. Interea tandem memineris, ut certes cum ipso ex loco acinacis infirmiori et firmiori aliam nuditatem ex alia requirendo tum superne tum inferne. Verum si adversarius nuditates tuas eadem ratione perquisiverit superne duplicabis, inferne mutabis contra faciem ipsius adversarii, et eo modo occaecabis eum, ut eo potentiorem perfectioremque ictum versus caput eius regere possis. Eum si adversarius averterit, tum ictum cruciatum in ipsius conspectu sev pro facie usurpando brachium eius dextrum appetes. |

[8] Two Positions from which the Creizhaw Proceeds When you come together at the closing, it happens with these positions: your right foot is set forward, your Duseggen held with the hilt near your right knee with your left hand behind near the point.[41] He then strikes to your opening from above, so go up with your Duseggen above your head such that your left foot is set forward. Thus his strike is displaced. Then immediately strike with a doubled Creuzhaw ("Cross Strike") to his head. If he strikes you double like this from above and you have your Duseggen at your right leg with the long edge directed at your opponent, the point directed at the ground, and your right foot set forward,[42] shove this away crosswise with your short edge. Then immediately set upon him with a cut from below on his right arm and grab his right elbow with your left hand so that you shove him from you. Follow outward with your left leg and strike him to the upper opening. If he shoves you from himself like this and intends to strike you from above, spring backwards with your left foot so that you can once again come to your work. |

Quum acinace rite gubernando ad invicem fueritis congressi, dextrum praepones iuxtaque genu dextrum acinacis tui capulum continebis, manum sinistram prope mucronem, et si adversarius superne nuditatem tuam adpetat feriundo, tum supra caput tuum acinacem tolles sursum, sinistro tamen pede praefixo, et ea ratione facile ictum adversarii eludes. Subito autem caput eius ictu duplici cruciato affliges. Verum si idem contra te fuerit molitus adversarius, te supra pedem dextrum acinacem continente, acie longa contra hostem porrecta si sit, mucro versus terram deorsum, atque dextrum praeposueris, adversarium crucis modo acie brevi avertito. Interea autem brachio eius dextro incisionem infernam si impresseris, atque cubito ipsius dextro manum laevam adiunxeris, adversarium propelles. Insequutus confestim pede sinistro eius nuditatem supernam feriundo inquires. Sin vero is te eodem habitu repulerit, nec non superne cupiat pulsare tuum, pedem sinistrom resiliendo si retuleris ictus tuos rursum resumere licebit, adversario vel minime praepediente. |

[9] Perceiving the Weak and Strong When you come together at the closing, set your right foot forward and strike him in opposition in the bind. Perceive whether he is soft or hard with his Duseggen. If he is hard and holds against you strongly, follow outward with your left leg and allow the weak to quickly pass and strike his head on his right side. If he then strikes you like this from above and you also stand against him in the bind with your right foot set forward, follow outward with the left and displace his strike with the strong of your Duseggen. Then immediately step in once more with your right leg and strike to his left side. If he displaces this, pull the right foot back again and thrust to his face. If he then thrusts like this to your face, take the thrust away with your short edge and cut with the long edge to his face. If he cuts like this to your face, drop a Krump on him so that you have the cut as good as he and may work with him all the previous techniques. |

Si firmus fuerit repertus, fortiterque restiterit, pede sinistro insequeris, celeriter si loco acinacis tui imbecilliori, qui est iuxta mucronem fueris usus partem capitis adversarii dextruam adpetes. Si autem is idem contra te moliatur, tuque vicissim primo acinacium contactu utaris versus adversarium, praeponens pedem dextrum, tum sinistro consequitor atque eius ictum eludes loco acinacis firmiori, qui est versus capulum. Interim memineris ut pedem dextrum rursus introponas, nec non versus latus adversarii sinistrum ferias. Hoste id excipiente, tu dextro relato pede, mucronem in faciem eius infigito. Ceterum, si hoc habitu contra te fuerit usus, eum acie acinacis tui brevi deflectes, atque acie longa eiusdem proscindendo eius faciem appetes. Cum vero is eadem conetur adversus te, curve ei obviam acinace gubernando si processeris, tum aeque ac adversarius incisione uti poteris, nec non omnes modo praedictos habitus exercere tibi licebit. |

[10] A Cut with a Reyssen When you come before the opponent, it happens that you stand with your right foot forward, your Duseggen extended well away from you, and cut to his head. If he intends to cut to you like this and you also stand with the right foot opposite him, strike a straight strike to his head and in the process drop your hilt over his right arm near his Duseggen and Reyssen ("snatch") downwards so that you have countered his cut. Then immediately follow outward with your left leg at this right side and strike with the Zwirchhaw to his head. If he does a Zwirchhaw like this towards your head, set your right leg back and displace his Zwirch with your long edge. Then immediately shoot in with your Duseggen to his face. Should he perceive the Einschiessen ("shooting in") and displace it, step in with your right foot once more and let a double Feler ("failer/feint") quickly pass. Then immediately strike his right arm. If he strikes like this to your right side, step in the triangle and turn the long edge above your head so that the strike goes along your long edge. Then immediately follow after him double and strike to his upper opening. |

Porro, si idem contra te moliatur adversarius, tuque vicissim dextro innitaris, tum recta superne caput eius adpetes, et in ipso actu ictus regendo acinacis tui capulo supra brachium adversarii dextrum iuxta eiusdem acinacem, habitu eo si deorsum convulseris, eius incisio iam elusa est. Deinde sinistro confestim insequutus pede versus latus adversarii dextrum transversarium usurpando caput eius pulsato. Sed si idem molitus fuerit hostis, caput tuum adpetendo transversario, retrorsum pede dextro concedes, eumque ictum acie longa praemissa avertes. Subito autem acinacem in faciem impellendo diriges. Cum vero id a te fieri observarit, nec non eum habitum desclinarit, rursus intro dextrum pedem dirigito, uterisque quam celerrime duplici icto erratico. Inde vero eius brachium dextrum feriendo adpetes. Ceterum, adversario latus tuum dextrum ea ratione appetente, in triangulum concedes, aciem longam si sura caput direxeris, ictus eius per eam elabetur. Statim vero instando si insequutus fueris, nuditatem supernam hostis acinace contundes. |

[11] Two Cuts from Above It happens that you stand in the cut from above with your right foot forward and do an extended cut from above low on his right arm. Should he perceive this cut, then grip the back of your Duseggen with your left hand, jerk out and cut him with the strong away from you. If he intends to cut you with the strong like this and you stand with your right foot forward, step with the right to the rear so that you go out from his cut. Then immediately go in again with your right foot with your Duseggen above your head such that the long edge is turned upward and the point hangs to the rear. Then immediately follow outward with your left leg and do a double strike to his head. If he intends to displace this with the Zwirchhaw, then grip with your left hand over his right hand and take his position away so that you may again strike to the upper opening. If he strikes double like this to your upper opening, then grip with your left hand at his right elbow and turn him hence away from you. With that strike or cut to his head. |

[105r] Duae incisiones supernae. In supernam incisionem hoc modo te praeparabis: dextrum praepones pedem, et recta deorsum ictu regendo eius brachium incides dextrum. Adversarius autem id si animadverterit, tum tui acinacis dorsum manu laeva contingas, et fortiter eo habitu incidendo propellas. Sin vero is idem conabitur te dextro innitente, pedem praedictum modo referto, et eo modo incisionem adversarii effugies. Statim vero dextro innitens rursum procedito, acinace supra caput constituto ita, ut acies longa sit conversa superne, atque mucro retrorsum vergat. Interim sinistro insecutus pede versus caput eius ictu gemino uteris. Cumque adversarius avertere eum conetur transversario, tum manu tua sinistra ultra adversarii manum dextram regenda, sui defensionem avertito. Simulque supernam nuditatem eius adpetere feriundo poteris. Ceterum hostis si eadem moliatur, eius cubitum manu laeva arripere non cessabis, eumque si abegeris propellendo, acinace stringere vel ferier adversarii caput licebit. Zwenn ober schnit. |

[12] An Einschiessen against the Kron It happens like this with the Einschiessen ("shooting in"). Set your right foot forward and shoot the point to his face or chest with an extended arm. If he shoots the point to your face like this and you stand against him in the Kron ("Crown") with your left foot set forward, take this away with the Kron. Then immediately turn yourself out of the Kron into a position with your Duseggen over your head. Follow outward with your right leg and strike from below to his right arm. If he displaces this, allow it to Ablauffen ("run off") and strike from above to his right side. If he strikes you like this from below and above, drop a Krump on him over his right arm and step in with your left leg, set your left hand on his right elbow and shove him away from you so that you can strike him to the head from above. If he has then set upon you and shoved you away from himself like this, pull your right foot to the rear so that you go out of his grip and come to similar work with him. Immediately thrust to his face with your point. If he sets this aside, then step in again with your right leg and strike from below to his left side. Then immediately strike with an Oberhaw as you move away from him. |

Verum si is mucronem in tuam faciem adegerit, te in habitu Coronae consistente, atque sinistrum praefixeris, coronae habitu eum avertes. Interim vero ex eo habitu deflectes in tui defensionem, elevato acinace supra caput tuum, dextro pede insecutus, ex loco infero sursum eius brachium dextrum tundendo appetes. Et si hostis id exceperit, tum deflectes ictum versusque eius latus dextrum superne feries. Porro si is superne et inferne te laedere cupiverit, curve ei concides supra brachium adversarii dextrum. Introque pede dextro procedes, manu sinistra eius cubito dextro applicata si propuleris abs te, facile caput eius contundere licebit. Sin vero ratione consimili adversarius utetur atque te removerit, dextrum referre memineris, et hoc modo praenominatum habitum vitabis, et aequales conatus cum adversario exercebis. Interim vero in eius faciem mucronem impellito. Sed si eum averterit, rursus intro dextro concedas pede, atque si ex loco infero sursum feriundo, eius latus sinistrum adpetes, ictum supernum usurpando ab adversario te separato. |

[13] A Schaitelhaw with an Abnemen When you come to close with the opponent, the Schaitelhaw ("Vertex Strike") happens like this: stand with your right foot forward and strike with an extended arm to his head. If you strikes straight at you from above like this and you stand with your left foot forward, strike a similar one and while striking grab his right hand with your left. Thus you catch him and can send the Schaitelhaw to his head.[37] If he has caught you like this and thrown the Schaitelhaw, step with your left foot in front of his right and grab his right with your left forward near the Duseggen so that you can cut through to the face. If he intends to cut through to your face like this, step back with your left foot and turn yourself up with your Duseggen at your right side such that the long edge stands above. Then immediately strike quickly to his left side. If he displaces this, spring with your right foot to his right side and strike with a doubled Creizhaw to his head. |

Verum si is superne contra caput tuum acinacem direxerit, praeponente pedem te dextrum, tum pariter cum adversario ferias. Inque ipso ictu inferrendo, eius manum dextram manu sinistra captabis, et eo modo assequeris aversionem, simulque dirigere versus caput adversarii ictum quo vertex appetitur poteris. Sin vero is idem contra te moliatur, tunc pedem sinistrum eius dextro proponito, et si hostis manus dextae partem anteriorem iuxta acinacem manu tua sinistra adpraehenderis, faciem eius incisione laedere licebit. Ceterum, si idem adversarius conetur perficere, pedem sinistrum referre non dubitabis, sursum inflectendo acinacem dirigito in latus tui corporis dextrum, ut acies eius longa superior adpareat, atque mora omni remota, ictum in latus adversarii sinistrum convertito. Porro, si exceperit ipsum, concestim resiliendo dextro pede in latus adversarii dextrum concedes atque cruciatum ictum usurpando geminum caput eius appetito. |

[14] A Cut from Below with a Zwirchhaw It happens at the closing that you stand in the cut from below with your left foot forward and make as if you will strike him from above. Then immediately grip with your left hand forward on the Duseggen and turn into the cut from below to his right arm. If you stand opposite him with your left foot forward in the Zwirchhaw and he cuts like this towards your right arm, turn yourself with your Duseggen above his and with that snatch towards yourself. Thus you have countered his cut and may cut him. If he intends to set this aside, step to the rear with your left leg and thrust to his face. If he then thrusts like this to your face, displace this with the Bogen, step outward with your right foot and strike to his left side. If he displaces this, step to the rear with your right foot and strike with a Zwirch to his right arm. If he strikes like this to your right side, follow after him with your left foot and strike from below to his right elbow. If he displaces this, allow it to immediately Ablauffen ("flow off") and strike from above to his right arm. |

Ceterum si contra eum constiteris, sinistrum pede praeponens arrepto transversario, et incidere brachium tuum dextrum conetur, tum acinacem inflectendo supra acinacem hostis reges, eo habitu si attraxeris versum te vellendo, adversarii incisionem effugies. Simul etiam eum stringere poteris. Sin autem eam volet avertere, pedem sinistrum retrorsum reduces, atque mucronem versus faciem eius dirigito. Porro, si idem scilicet habitum praenominatum usurpet, arcus habitu qui paulo superius descriptus est, eum excipies, dextro si fueris confestim insequutus versus latus adversarii sinistrum ferias: et si ictum tuum eluserit, pedem dextrum referes, atque feriundo transversarium, brachium eius dextrum contundes. Verum si is eo modo te aggreditur, tum instando pede sinistro sursum regendo ictum ab inferne sursum directum versus adversarii cubitum dextrum feries.

[15] A Cut from Above with an Absezen When you come to the closing with the opponent it happens that you stand with your right foot forward in the cut from above and strike with an extended Oberhaw to his head. Then with that cut him to his face. If he intends to cut you like this, step in with your right foot and displace his cut with your long edge. Then immediately grip with your left hand forward on your Duseggen and drop your point onto his neck, snatch in towards you,[37] and follow with your left leg outward. Thus you can throw him. If he intends to throw you like this, step with your right foot to the rear, come with your left hand to the hilt of your Duseggen and cut him like this with the strong away from you. Thus you will be free of the throw. Then immediately spring in once again and strike with a Schaitler to his head. If he displaces this, hang at your left side and strike double once again a long one from above. If he strikes you like this double from above, then wind through under his strike with your Duseggen well over your head into a good position and make as if you will strike him from above, and then thrust to his face. |

[107r] Incisio superna addita simul aversione. Si in conspectum adversarii accesseris, in superne incisionis habitum hac ratione te accommodabis: dextro praefixo caput adversarii ictu superno recta facit adpetes, et eo habitu stringendo eius faciem sauciabis. Verum si is idem efficere conetur, intro pede dextro concedes, atque incisionem ab hoste in te factam avertito acie longa acinacis tui praemissa. Interim vero partem acinacis tui anteriorem manu sinistra arripe, mucroneque eius collum premito, et ad te eum si convelles, consequutus pede sinistro adversarium prosternere tibi licebit. Si vero te consternere conetur eadem ratione, dextrum reduces pedem retrorsum, manuque sinistra acinaci tuo auxilium ferto, et eiusdem loco firmiori incidendo hostem propelles, et ea defensione ne humum prostratus tundas, te liberabis. Confestim vero insiliendo rursus intro procedas, et ictu quo vertex adpetitur caput adversarii pulsato. Sin exceperit ictum, tum in latus tuum sinistrum inclinando acinacem diriges, atque dupliciter superne contra eum ferias acie longa praemissa. Sed si eadem is conetur efficere, tum per eius ictum inflectendo transibis, elevato acinace supra caput in tui defensionem, tanquam superne eum ferire cupias si simularis, mucronem versus adversarii faciem diriges impellendo. |

[16] A Zornhaw against a Cut from Above It happens that you step in with your right foot with the Zornhaw and strike him powerfully to the head from above. If he strikes you wrathfully like this from above, step inside with your right foot in front of his right, grip the Duseggen with your left hand and set him aside from below his right hand. Thus your hilt comes up onto his head. Then immediately cut hard from above away from you and yank your right foot from beneath you. Thus you cut him to the ground. If he has set you aside like this upward from below and intends to cut you to the ground, then step to the rear with your right foot and strike his left arm strongly from above. Thus will you be free of the defense from below and above. If he then follows after you closely, strike from below with a Zwirch to his right arm. If he does a Zwirch like this to your right side, step in with your left foot, displace him with your long edge and strike with a double Feler ("failer/feint") to his head. If he intends to displace you like this from above, then immediately grab his right with your left hand and go with your Duseggen above your head in the Zwirch. Thus you have taken the Vor ("Before"). |

Eo itaque habitu acinacis tui capulus, eius capiti imminebit. Interim vero fortiter incidendo hostem abiges, atque dextro pede firmiter inferne versus te si attraxeris, incidendo adversarium prosternes. Sin vero ea ratione contra te fuerit usus, atque te stringendo cupiverit prosternere, ut humum saucius tundas, dextrum pedem referto, et si fortiter e supernis brachium eius sinistrum appetendo ferias, te liberabis, securumque reddes ab adversario.

[17] A Verkerer ("Turner/Inverter") with a Doubled Oberhaw When you come to the closing with the opponent it happens that you stand with your left foot forward and strike him double from above. Then as soon as you perceive his Duseggen, follow outward with your right leg, grip with your left hand to his right shoulder and shove him away from you so that you turn him.[37] If he turns you away from him like this and you stand with your right foot forward in the turn, yank your left foot to the rear and thrust double to his face or chest. If he displaces this, then follow inward with your right foot once again and strike to his head. Should he perceive this strike and displace you at once, go up with your Duseggen in front of your head such that the point hangs at the left side, grip your point with your left hand and hit him with the hilt to his head. If he strikes at you like this with his hilt, stop him with the Kron. Then immediately allow it to flow off and strike with a Zwirch to his head. If he displaces this, strike from one opening to another, below and above, whichever opening you can find. |

[18] A Zwirchhaw against the Krumphaw It happens like this with the Zwirchhaw. Step in with the left leg and strike him with an extended Zwirchhaw to the right side of his head. If he then does a Zwirch to you like this and you stand with your right foot forward, follow outward with your left and drop a Krump on him at his right side. Then immediately cut through to his face and strike to his right arm. If he displaces this strike, then strike from below to his right side. If he strikes from below towards you like this, grip with your left hand from above over his right and press downward. Thus his strike is countered and you hit him from above to the head.[37] If he has set you up like this, step in with your right leg and grab his right arm with your left hand. Thus you take his strike away and can come to similar work with him. If he is in similar work with you, then strike him immediately straight to the top of his head. If he displaces this, spring with your left foot well to his left side, drive with the Duseggen up above the head and strike him quickly double from above. If he strikes double like this towards you, set him aside Krump with your short edge. Thus you may thereafter strike or cut him. |

[19] A Throw out of the Hacken It happens at the closing that you strike in towards him with a long extended Oberhaw. If he then also strikes towards you out of the long blow, step inside with your right foot behind his left. Thus you come into the Hacken ("Leg Hook"). If he comes to you like this in the Hacken, drop a Krump on him with your right arm over his and with your left hand around his neck in the front, then yank towards you with the Hacken.[37] Thus you can throw him. If he intends to throw you like this, spring with your left foot behind his left and grab his left elbow with your left hand. Thus you go into him from below and above. Then immediately strike with an Oberhaw away from him. If he then follows after you, wind your Duseggen up over your head in a good position and at the same time follow after [him]. Thus you set aside his strike with your long edge. Then immediately thrust to his face or chest. If he will further set this aside, then cut from above to his head. If he will then cut towards you like this from above, counter the two cuts from below from both sides. |

Sin autem easdem angustias te compellere ex habitu iam praedicto conetur, curvo utitor ictu brachium dextrum supra eius brachium regendo, et manu sinistra partem colli anteriorem impellendo, pede eius popliti iniecto versus te si attraxeris, humum tundat, efficies prostratus. Verum adversarius si ex eodem propugnaculo sternere te conabitur, tunc in latus sinistrum eius proruendo pede sinistro concedes, atque manum sinistram adversarii cubito sinistro si adplicaris, inferne et superne discrimen ab adversario in te excogitatum devitabis, inde ab eo recedes facto ictu superno. Ceterum, instando si te urgere voluerit, inflectendo acinacem tuum supra caput levabis in tui tutissimam defensionem, atque in ipsa hostis instantia aciem aciniacis tui longa praemittendo eius ictum avertes. Subitoque mucronem in eius faciem vel pectus immittes. Sed si is porro adversarius excusserit, caput incisione superne affliges.

[20] The Alber vom Tag against the Wechselhaw from Below It happens that you stand in the Alber vom Tag ("Fool’s from the Roof") with both feet together, your Duseggen above your head such that the point hangs to the rear. Then immediately step in with your right leg and take the thrust behind your head from your left side to his right side. If you stand then in the Wechsel ("Changer") with your right foot set forward and he fires you the point like this, then wind up out of the Wechsel with your left foot set forward and set his thrust aside with your long edge. Then immediately step in the triangle and strike him long to his head from above. If he displaces this, then step with your right leg on his left side and strike once more to the upper opening. If he strikes to you double like this from above, then displace him with your long edge and step inside in front of his right leg with your left. Then immediately grip with your left arm over his right so that you can strike to his head. If he has grasped you like this, then grip with your left hand at his right arm and shove him away from you. Thus you will also free your right arm. Then immediately step in front of his right foot with your left and turn yourself away from his arm at your right side such that your long edge is turned upward. Step with your left leg to the rear and strike long away from him. |

[21] An Armpruch against an Einschiessen When you come to the opponent at the closing, step in with your right foot and strike a long one from above to his head. If he intends to displace this, then strike in the Windhaw ("Turning Strike"), step with your right leg to the rear, and strike his right arm. If he strikes like this towards your right arm and you stand with your right foot forward, displace this with your long edge. Then immediately strike from below to his right side. If he further displaces this, then quickly seek the next opening. If he seeks your opening like this, then go upward in the Zwirch well above your head such that your left foot stands forward and strike his right arm. If he displaces this, strike a long one to his right side. If he strikes you double like this, then displace him and step with your right leg at his right and shoot the point to his face. If he shoots the point to your face like this, displace him with your long edge. Then immediately step in with your left leg and drop your hilt over his right arm, grip his right elbow with your left hand and turn to your left side.[37] Thus you lock his arm and you can also throw him. |

[22] A Doppelhaw against the Winding It happens like this in the Doppelhaw ("Double Strike"): stand with your right foot forward and strike with the short edge to his head. If he strikes like this towards your head and you stand opposite him in the Winden ("winding"), take heed of his strike and step opposite him with your right leg as you turn against him. In the winding grip with your left hand forward on his Duseggen near his point,[37] then follow outward with your right leg and turn yourself to his right side. If he turns towards you like this at your right side, then step in with your left foot, set upon him with your left hand from below on his right shoulder and shove him away from you. Thus you will free your Duseggen, and then strike with a Zwirchhaw to his right arm. Thus you hinder his arm. Then immediately yank your left foot back and strike from below at his face. If he strikes towards you like this from below, displace him with your long edge. Then immediately follow outward with your left foot and wind the point to his face. If he displaces this, then strike double to his right arm. If he has struck like this towards you, then step with your left leg at his right side and thrust his right elbow with your left hand. Then you can cut him from below or above. |

[23] An Absetzen against a Cut When you come to the closing with the opponent, it happens that you step in with your left foot and strike from below to his right elbow. If he intends to displace this, step backwards with your left foot and strike his left side with a doubled Creizhaw. If he strikes towards you like this and you stand with your right foot forward, then displace him with your long edge and strike to his right side. If he displaces this, then follow outward with your left leg and thrust to his face. Should he perceive this thrust and intends to displace it, strike him long from above to the top of his head. If he then strikes like this from above towards you, step in with your left leg once again and strike as if you would hit his head. Then immediately grip with your left hand forward on your Duseggen and drive it forward with your point around his neck.[37] Step inside with your right foot in front of his right and with that yank to your right.

If he then strikes towards you from above, go at him with an upward cut to his right side and during the cut grab with your left hand inside over his right arm such that his Duseggen is between your arms.[37] Thus you can capture his Duseggen. Then immediately step with your right foot in front of his right and turn to his right side. Thus you lock his arm. If he intends to lock your arm like this, then come with your left hand to help your right. Thus you will free yourself from the armlock. Then immediately follow outward with your left leg, grip his right leg with your left hand and set your right hand forward at his neck. Yank towards you from below with the left hand and shove away from you from above. Thus you throw him onto his back. |

Et si is ictibus supernis te aggreditur, tum incisionem infernam versus latus eius dextrum vibrabis, simulque in ipso incisionis habitu, manu sinistra interius adversarii brachio dextro applicata, ita ut eius acinaces inter brachia tua subsistat. Eo igitur modo hostem acinace spoliabis. Postea pedem dextrum eius dextro praefiges, et in latus adversarii dextrum si deflectes, confringere brachium eius poteris. Sin vero hostis ex eodem munimento te fuerit aggressus, tum manu sinistra tuae dextrae si auxiliaberis periculo quo minus brachium tibi possit infringi te liberabis. Confestim vero insequutus sinistro dextrum pedem manu sinistra apprehendito, et acinacem parti gutturis hostis anteriori si adiunxeris atque manu sinistra inferne si adtraxeris, superne autem protruseris, supinum hostem prosternes. |

[28] The Guard vom Tag and the Bogen from which a Throw Proceeds When you come to the opponent at the closing, step in towards him with your right foot and it happens that you are in the guard vom Tag ("from the Roof") with your arm extended well up over your head, your long edge turned upward and the point hanging to the rear. Then immediately turn your point into his face or chest. If he displaces this, step in with your left leg and strike with the Zwirch to his right arm. If he further displaces you, then strike with a Schaitel to his head. If he then strikes like this double towards you, displace him with the Bogen, follow inward with your left leg and strike to his face. If he displaces this, then turn to your right side with your Duseggen well up over your head, follow outward with your right leg and thrust to his chest. If he thrusts like this to your chest, then set him aside with your long edge and immediately strike from below to his right arm. If he sets this aside, then strike from above to his right arm. If he then strikes like this to your right arm, displace him with the Bogen. Then immediately grab his right foot with your left hand, yank towards you and thrust your Duseggen to his groin.[37] Thus you can throw him. |

[29] A Duseggen Capture with a Throw It happens with this technique that you stand with your left foot forward and hit him with strikes from above. When you then come to him, step in with your right foot and strike out with the Krumphaw to the left side of his head. If he strikes a Krump towards you like this and you stand with your right foot forward, then displace him with your short edge and immediately cut with the long edge to his neck. If he will displace this, then step in with your left leg and strike from below to his right arm. Then immediately yank your left leg to the rear again and strike from below to his left side. If he strikes towards your left side like this, take heed of his strike and step in with your left leg and hit him long from above to the head. Then immediately grip with your left hand over his Duseggen to his right arm and turn him to your right side. Thus you capture his Duseggen and then set the point of your Duseggen on his neck.[37] If he sets upon you like this, let him take your Duseggen, then grip his left elbow with your left hand and between his feet with your right. Thus you throw him. |

[30] The Luginslannd against a Throw When you come to the closing with the opponent, it then happens like this in the Luginslannd ("Watchtower"): step in with your left leg and hold your Duseggen above your head such that the long edge is turned upward and the point is directed at the opponent. Then immediately step in with your right leg and thrust your point to his face. If he displaces this, strike with the long edge to his head. If he thrusts and strikes towards you like this, displace him, step outward with your right leg, and strike to his right foot. If he intends to displace this, then step well in towards him, turn with your right foot and strike with a Creizhaw to his face. If he strikes like this towards your face, then step in with your left leg and displace him with your long edge and at the same time strike to his right arm. If he strikes towards you like this, then step to the rear with your right leg once again as you let your Duseggen fall, grab with your right hand to his left leg and with your left hand below his left elbow. Thus you capture his sleeve and can throw him to the rear.[37] |

[31] A Schaitler against the Bogen It happens that you close with this technique: you freely strike in towards him long and high in the Schaitelhaw ("Vertex Strike"). Thus you come to him and then step in with your left leg and shoot the short edge to his face. If he displaces this thrust, let a double Feler pass, follow inward with your right leg and strike from above to the right side of his head. If he strikes like this towards you, step in towards him with your right foot and displace him with the Bogen such that your hilt stands well before your head. Then immediately follow outward with your left leg and wind into the double cut, cutting to his face. If he displaces this, then follow outward with your right leg and strike with the long edge to his head. If he strikes you from above like this, then step in with your left leg, drop down at your right side and strike long from above to the right side of his head. Then immediately grip his left shoulder with your left hand and shove him away from you. If he shoves you away like this, step in with your left foot in front of his left, grab with your left hand behind his left knee and cut to his face out of the Bogen.[37] |

[32] A Duseggen Capture with an Armpruch It happens at the closing that you step in with your left leg and strike with a doubled strike to his head. If he displaces this, then follow outward with your right leg and Zwirch to his right side. If he further displaces this, then set your left leg at his right side as you wind your Duseggen into the left side of his face such that the long edge stands above. If he thrusts like this towards your face, then step in with your right leg and set him aside with your long edge. Then immediately set your left leg in front of his left and drop your hilt over his right arm. Thus you strike in through his head. Then immediately grab his right elbow with your left hand so that you lock his arm. If he intends to lock your arm like this and has dropped over you with his hilt, then grab his right elbow with your left hand with your Duseggen over his right arm and turn to your right side. Then immediately come to the aide of your right hand with your left. Thus you capture his Duseggen. If he has captured your Duseggen like this, then thrust with your left hand at his left elbow. Thus you get away from him and he cannot harm you. |

Interea autem inflectes acinacem versus faciem ex adversarii latere sinistro ita ut acies eiusdem longa superior appareat. Sin vero is contra te modo laborarit, dextro intro concedas et eius conatum acie longa acinacis tui praemissa eludas. Celeriter autem eius pedi sinistro laevum praepones, atque capulo tui acinacis ultra hostis brachium dextrum regendo caput sauciare ex eo habitu licebit. Postea curabis ut eius cubitum dextrum manu sinistra apprehendas, brachiumque ea ratione confringas. Ceterum, adversario ex eo propugnaculo erumpente, et tuum brachium infringere conante eius cubitum dextrum manu vicissim laeva apprehende, acinace tamen tuo supra dextrum hostis brachium applicato, versus latus tui corporis dextum te convertes, et si manu tuo sinistra dextrae subveneris, acinacem ex manibus adversarii extorqueris.

[33] Two Tie-ups from which a Throw Proceeds It happens consequently at the closing that you step in with your left foot and strike from below to his left side. If he displaces this, Schill and Schaitel him at the right side of his head. Then immediately follow with your right leg outward and wind your point to his face or chest. If he winds the point like this to your face, then set your left foot in front and set him aside with your long edge. Then immediately step outward with your right leg, hang and wind likewise your point to his face, and then strike to his right side. If he displaces this, then strike quickly double to his right arm. If he strikes double like this at your right side, step in the triangle and displace him with your long edge. Then immediately do an extended Zwirch to his right ear. If he does a Zwirch towards you like this, then grip with your left hand around his neck. Thus you have countered his strike. If he has grabbed you like this, then step with your left leg behind his left knee in the Hacken ("leg hook"). Then immediately grab with your left hand around his body across the waist. With this you can then throw him.[37] |

If he then follows after you, grip your Duseggen with your left hand with the long edge upward and stab the point in his face. If he stabs the point in your face like this with both hands, then step behind his left foot with your right into the Hacken and drive outward in the Kron. Thus you displace his stab.

[36] A Zornhaw against a Lanngen Ort When you come to the closing with the opponent, step into him with your left leg and hold your Duseggen above your head with extended arm at your right side such that the point hangs to the rear and the long edge is turned upward.[41] Then immediately follow outward with your right leg and strike with the Zornhaw double to the right side of his head. If he displaces this, then thrust your point to his face or chest. If he then thrusts like this towards your face, displace him with your long edge and step in with your right leg, then immediately shove your point to his chest at his right side. If he displaces this, then follow outward with your left leg and strike with a Creizhaw to the right side of his head. If he further displaces this, then strike with an Underhaw to his right arm. If he then seeks your openings from above and below like this, step into him with your left leg and displace him with your long edge. Then immediately strike to the great toe of his foremost foot. If he intends to set this aside, then thrust and strike quickly to his head at the upper openings. |

Then immediately go out of the guard vom Tag with your point towards his face, follow outward with your right foot and wind at your right side with your hilt above your head into a good position. Then spring with your left foot well at his right side and Zwirch him short and long to the head. If he displaces your Zwirch, then strike quickly to his right arm.

[41] A way of placing the dussack on the opponent's neck and push him The following device is performed in this manner: step forward with your right foot and hold your dussack raised over your head. If your opponent is standing before you this way, then step forward with your left foot and strike from above to his head. If he strikes you in this manner, then you too step forward with your left foot and parry him with the long edge. Then you step to your opponent's left so that your foot is standing below beside his left foot. Then you turn your dussack so that your point is pointing toward your opponent's right and swiftly grab hold of the middle of your dussack with your left hand and press against your opponent's neck with the long edge forward, and then with all your might push him back with your dussack, and if you at the same time put your foot in behind his knee, you can throw him over by pulling him to you. If you are held in the same manner above and below, then reach with your left hand under his right and raise it up. Then, if you as quickly as you can try to thrust him in the face, he will have to let you go, and parry your thrust, and this way you will get away safe and sound. |

Sed si tu pari ratione ab hoste interclusus superne et inferne fueris, tum sinistram tuam manum dextrae hostis subiicie, et sursum agas firmiter eam.

[42] A strike from above followed by an arm-lock In this device you stand with your left foot forward and hold your dussack with the right arm outstretched in a strike from above, so that the long edge is pointing forward. Then you step forward with your right foot and strike straight toward his head with the long edge. If the opponent does this to you, then step forward with your right foot toward him and strike as well against his strike and thrust your point into his face so that you parry his strike with the short edge, but when you are doing so, make sure to step in with your left foot and reach with your arm over his right arm behind his dussack, so that you have it firmly locked behind your shoulder blade. If your opponent is holding you in the same manner, then place your right foot on the inside behind his left and quickly turn your arm to the left and put it around his neck, and then you grab hold above his chest and pull him over your left foot, that way he will fall over and can do no more. |

Inde dextro pede ingressus contra adversarium, directe caput eius acie longa praemissa pulsato. Verum si is idem contra te usurparit, dextrum pedem praeponente, tum vel obviam ferias, vel mucronem in visum ipsius impellito ea ratione ut ictum hostilem acie brevi avertas. Sed ex eo ipso habitu curabis, ingressus ad hostem sinistro pede brachiumque tuum hostili brachio dextro interne superiniicias retro ipsius acinacem subiiciasque brachium, simulatque acinacem ipsius alae tuae sinistrae firmiter tenendo. Sin autem pari ratione te adprehenderit adversarius tum dextrum pedem interne ultra ipsius laevum colloces, nec non subito inversum brachium sinistrorsum collo eius circumiicias, inde correpto eius pectore superne ipsum per pedem in latus sinistrum tuum protrahas si rite confeceris, hostis concidet nec quicquam conari vel moliri poterit. |

[43] A throwing technique with the dussack In this device you stand with your right foot forward and strike a feigned strike from above at your opponent, and at the same time you step forward with your left foot, but as soon as you have pulled back the strike, you move the point in toward his face. If your opponent tries to do the same, and thrusts towards your face, and you are standing in the scale position, then step forward with your left foot and your dussack raised with straight arm over your head, with the point toward the opponent and the long edge up. If you do this, as well as you thrust with the point toward the left side of his face you will parry his thrust to your right. Then you go down into the scale position with your left leg outside his left and hold your dussack in protection with the long edge facing up. Then you grab hold of with your left hand in his left foot that he has stepped forward with, lift it up and strike from below to his arm with the long edge and the outermost part of your dussack, and at the same time you hold your dussack in good defense resting against his right arm, and in this manner you can throw your opponent over. If he were to do the same to you, then grab hold with your left hand in the inside of his wrist, and pull hard toward you, that way you will force him to fall with you if he does not let go. |
[121r] Adversarii prosternendi effigies per acinacem.

Sin vero adversarius idem pari ratione moliatur mucronemque visui impegerit te in libra constitente, sinistrumque praeponente nec non acinacem supra caput levatum contineas brachio porrecto, mucro contra hostem vergat, acies longa superior adpareat. Haec si rite constent in sinistrum hostilis visus latus mucronem impellito pariter cum ipso hoste atque ea ratione ipsius vim in dextrum latus tuum avertito. Inde in libra progressus sinistro pede eundem ultra ipsius sinistrum colloces in tui defensione acinacem continens ita ut longa acies superior sit. Post manu sinistra sinistrum pedem hostis praefixum corripias, celeriter eundem subleves atque ab inferne sursum regendo ictum brachium parte acinacis anteriori saucies aciem longam usurpando, nec non inde acinacem in tui defensione pro facie tua contineas brachium ipsius contingentem, et itaque ratione adversarium prosternere poteris.

[44] Another technique in the same manner In this device, where both of you are using the same technique, and both are standing with left foot forward, and you are holding your dussack with straight arm, so that the long edge is facing up, and you direct your point from your left side into the opponent's face. Then you lower your dussack a little and turn your hand so that the short edge is facing up, and strike twice toward your opponent's head. If your opponent strikes his point into your face, you enter scale position, and pull in your right hand you are holding your dussack with, towards your chest and turn up the point and remove his thrust with the long egde, and if he tries to strike twice to your head, raise the dussack in defence so that the long edge is facing up, and thrust into his face. Then you lower the dussack and grab hold of his left foot that he has forward, and lift it up. Of he tries to strike at your head at the same time you step forward out of your parry and remove his strike you your left, and lay the dussack with the long edge against his right hand. Then you push away from you above, as you lift up below and he will fall to the ground. If you were to be held by your opponent in the same way, then grab hold as quickly as you can with your left hand onto the inside of his right hand, press down and pull against you, and he will fall with you, and you stop him from placing his dussack to your arm, and in the fall you can hit him in the head. |

In hoc congressu cum utrique habitibus utris usi estis, et sinistros pedes utros praeposuistis, tuque porrecto brachio acinacem contines, ita ut longa acies superne consistat, tum mucrone de latere tuo sinistro in visum hostis coniicias. Verum inde acinace paululum demisso, manum tuam ea ratione convertas, ut acies brevis superior sit, post gemino ictu caput ferias hostis. Sed si adversarius mucronem acinacis tui in tuum visum concusserit, te in libra constistente, atque manum dextram qua acinacem contines pectori tuo admoveris, mucrone sursum converso, tum hostili punctioni aciem tui acinacis longam obiicito, nec non eandem vim hostilem ea ratione avertito in latus tuum dextrum. Et si is gemino ictu caput ferire conetur, celeriter in tui defensione acinace constituto eo modo ut longa acies superior sit, mucronem visui ipsius impingas. Inde celerrime demisso acinace, sinistra manu sinistrum adversarii itidem pedem praepositum corripito, atque sursum alleves. Sin vero interea caput ferire tuum conetur, tum ex tui defensione ab inferne hosti obviabis, nec non ictum hostilem in latus sinistrum tuum reiicias, et eodem conatum aciem acinacis tui longam brachio ipsius dextro inferne adplicato iuxta manum. Inde superne cum tui defensione abs te repellas inferne vero sursum alleves, et ea ratione concidet adversarius. Sin tu ab hoste pari modo fueris correptus, tum quantum celerrime poteris laeva manu interne manum ipsius dextram adprehende et supprimendo versum te eam si attraxeris una tecum corruet, atque eo pacto vetabis ne brachio tuo acinacem applicet suum, etiam in ipso prosternendi actu caput adversarii sauciare licebit. |

[1] The First Two Upper Bindings from the Right Side It happens that you are closing with the staff. Step towards him with your right foot on the inside and wind from above from your right shoulder with the right hand outside of his staff. In the winding feel for whether he is soft or hard in the bind. If he is hard against you and holds against your strong, follow with your left leg after and at the same time change through from his left upon his right side and stab him to his face. If he stabs like this to your face and you also stand against him in the bind with your right foot forward, your right hand forward midway on your staff, then set this aside with our foremost point on your right side. Step with your left leg inside and wind your rearmost point to his face. If he sets this aside, then follow after with your right leg and strike him wickedly with your upper point out of the bind to his head. If he strikes similarly from above to your head, set your left leg back and displace this with your foremost point. At the same time, thrust him to his chest. If he displaces this, pull back your thrust against him and stab him in his right arm. Then wind backwards away from him. |

[2] The First Two Lower Bindings from the Left Side It happens that you have closed and stand with your left foot forward holding your staff at your left shoulder with your left hand forward. You stand this way against him and he the same in the lower bind. Step inside with your right leg and stab him from the inside to the outside over his left arm to the chest. If he displaces this, then follow after again with your left leg and wind your rearmost point to his face. If he stabs to your face like this and you stand with your left foot forward, set aside his stab and step inside with your right foot and at the same time thrust your foremost point to his face. If he sets this aside, then change through immediately and thrust to his left side. If he sets this aside, then follow after with your left foot and at the same time wind nimbly double with your foremost point and rearmost point to his face. If he winds double like this to your face, set this aside with your own winding from both sides. Then immediately follow after with your right leg and stab him to his face. If he displaces this, yank your right leg back and strike him with your staff with an inverted hand to his head and then immediately grab with your left hand once again your staff and cover your face with a good stance. |

[3] The Next Two Upper Bindings from the Left Side It happens that you close to the upper bind from your left side. He stands against you likewise in the bind from his left side. Step in with your left leg and at the same time feel whether he is hard or soft in the bind. If he is soft, step outward with your right leg and thrust to his face. If he does a take off, then immediately wind through from your right upon his right side. If he winds like this to your right side and you likewise stand against him in the bind with your left foot placed forward, displace this and at the same time step outward with your right leg and thrust to his face inside over his right arm. If he displaces this, wind through with your point at his right side and thrust with your point to his right side. If he sets this aside, follow outward with your left leg and wind through with your rearmost point between his arms to his face. If he winds like this to your face, set your right leg back and set this aside with your foremost point. Then immediately wind your rearmost point likewise to his face. Follow outward again with your right leg and strike him with the half-staff with both hands to his head. With that withdraw into a good guard. |

[4] The Next Two Lower Bindings from the Right Side It happens that you close to the lower bind with your right foot set forward and your right hand extended in front near the point. Immediately wind your right hand to the hip and stab him to his face. If he stabs you like this to your face and you also stand against him in the bind with your right foot placed forward, set it aside with your foremost point and make as if you will stab to his right leg. Then immediately step with your left foot outward and wind your rearmost point to his face or chest. If he winds like this to your face, step back with your right foot and set this aside with your rearmost point. Then immediately step in once more with your right foot and stab with your foremost point to his face. If he displaces this, change through with your point and follow outward with your left leg and with that stab at his right side.

[5] An Absetzen against a Doubled Mittelhau It happens that when closing in the Absetzen you step in with your left leg, your staff pointed at the ground and your right hand stretched above your head. Immediately wind your right hand to your hip and thrust to his face. If he thrusts to your face like this and you stand against him in the doubled Mittelhau with your right foot forward, then set aside his thrust with your foremost point and at the same time step after with your left leg and thrust with your lower point to his face. If he displaces this, change through from below and strike his right arm. If he displaces this, step in with your right leg and thrust with your long point to his face. If he perceives the thrust and displaces it, yank your right leg back and thrust to his left leg. If he thrusts like this to your left leg do not displace him, rather thrust quickly to his face. Then immediately wind back from him into a good stance. |

He then stands against you from his left side also in the strong with his left foot placed forward and you both have each other in the bind. Make as if you will stab to his face, then immediately change through from his right to his left side, follow outward with your left leg and stab him to the chest. If he displaces this, follow outward with your right leg and wind your rearmost point inside between his arms to his face. If he winds like this to your face, step in with your right foot and set this aside with your rearmost point. Then immediately change through with your point and stab to his face. If he sets this aside, go over and strike to his head. If he strikes like this to your head, set your staff at the ground on your left side and oppose him with your staff to block him between your hands. Then immediately thrust to his face and yank yourself back into a good stance. |

[157v] Dextrum et sinistrum propugnaculum seu castrum. In castrum ex latere dextro ita te adaptabis, praeponito dextrum pedem, de latere dextro hastam contineas in loco eius firmiore. Et si adversarius contra te de latere suo sinistro vicissim in loco fortiori consistat praefigens sinistrum, et utrique invicem hastas ex primo congressu contigeritis, te componito, tamenque visum hostis velis adgredi impulsu. Sed ex ea fraude, circumflectendo hastam rotabis ex latere eius dextro versus sinistrum, atque insequutus pede sinistro, pectus adversariis punctione adgreditor. Sed si hostis averterit impulsum, dextro subito insequere, et mucronem hastae posteriorem intra adversariis brachium utrumque in visum impellito. Sin vero idem is usurparit, dextro pede intro procedes, atque mucrone posterioris impulsum eius avertes, interim vero longa mucrone rotando hastam ab eius hasta transmuta, atque vicissim eam in eius faciem propelles. Verum si id averterit adversarius, tum si sinistrum praefixeris, mucronem anteriorem in faciem hostis porrexeris, corpus circumagas ita ut dexter prior sit, atque caput ictu hastae quassato. Si vero is vicissim eadem ratione utatur, hastam humo infige ex latere tuo dextro, atque obviam eis si processeris, intra manum tuam utramque ictum eius excipito, subito interea appete visum eius impulsu, et ab eo discedes in tuta tamen tuis defensione. |

[7] A Face Thrust against a Lower Abnemen It happens that in the closing to the Face Thrust you hold your staff at your right side with your left hand at the half-staff, your right hand behind near your right leg and your foremost point opposite his face. He then stands against you in the Abnemen with his left foot placed forward, his staff at the ground and the right hand extended behind near the point. Follow outward with your right leg and thrust to his face. If he thrusts like this to your face, step in with your right leg and go with the staff in front of his face to set his thrust aside. Then immediately wind your rearmost point inside between his arms to his throat. If he winds like this to your throat, set your right leg back, set this aside with your foremost point and strike him at the bind to his head. Then with that yank yourself back into a good stance and take heed that you are not followed after to the face. |

[10] Two Einprechen from which a Throw Proceeds When you come to the opponent at the closing, step inward with your left leg and thrust with your staff to his face from your right side. If he displaces this, set your right leg to the rear and let your staff shoot through your hand and strike inward with the long point to his head. If he strikes like this to your head, displace this with the portion of your staff between your hands. Then immediately step inward with your right leg and thrust your foremost point into his face. If he sets this aside, change through at his staff, follow outward with your left foot and thrust your rearmost point to his right side. If he thrusts you like this to your right side, displace it and step inward with your right leg towards him and immediately thrust your rearmost point to his face. If he thrusts to your face like this, displace it, step inward with your right leg towards him and drop into the Absetzen with your foremost point at his neck and your right foot behind his left,[37] then press over away from you into his cheek and yank from below towards you so that he falls to the rear. |

[11] Two Thrusts to the Upper Openings When you come to the closing with the opponent step inward with your left leg and hold your arms extended with the staff, your right hand above your head and the point directed towards his chest. He then stands likewise against you in the high thrust position to your upper opening with his left foot set forward. Then follow outward with your right leg, wind with your right arm to your right side and in the winding thrust your long point into his face. Should he perceive the thrust and displace it, change through from his left to his right side and thrust to his chest. If he thrusts towards you like this, set it aside and follow outward with your right leg and at the same time wind your rearmost point to his face into the Einwinden ("in-winding"). Then step with your right foot to the rear and thrust to his chest with your long point. If he displaces this, step inward with your right foot once again and strike with the long point from above to his head. If he strikes towards you from above like this, set it aside with a winding at your staff and immediately thrust double to his face. With that step back into a good stance. |

Cum vero impulsum animadverterit, atque eum eluserit se defendendo, mutando de eius latere sinistro in latus dextrum si transieris hasta, pectus adversariis punctione adgreditor. Et si is eadem ratione utetur, impetum eius avertes, et dextro pede consequitor, interea mucronem hastae tuae posteriorem in faciem hostis animose impellito, nec non in ipso inflexionis habitu pedem dextrum si reduxeris retrorsum, mucronem longum pectori ipsius infigito.

[12] A Long Point against a Bind When you go to close with the opponent, strike in freely from the Sturzhau ("plunging strike") double towards him so that you come before the opponent standing with your left foot forward, your right hand at your hip and your staff’s point opposite his face. Then immediately follow outward with your right leg and thrust your long point to his throat. If the thrusts to your throat like this and you stand with your left foot forward in the bind against him, take it away with your foremost point and immediately follow outward with your right foot and strike to his head, and in doing so, wind your staff around in front of his neck. Then step with your left foot in front of his right, press over and away from you and strike him from above so you can take advantage of his weak position. If he intends to weaken you like this, follow outward with your left foot, take away his point with your staff and immediately wind your foremost point to his face. If he displaces this, change through and thrust him once again to the face from the previously described stance. If he thrusts you double to the face like this, set it aside with your foremost point and wind the rearmost point to his chest. With that yank yourself back into a good stance. |

[13] An Inverted Strike against an Abnemen It happens that at the closing you strike towards him with a doubled Prusthau ("chest strike") as you come to him. Then step in with your right foot towards him and at the same time release the staff to quickly pass over and strike his head with an inverted hand. Then once again grip the staff with your left and wind your foremost point into his face. If you then stand like this against him with your left foot forward and with your staff extended and the point directed at the ground, take aside his strike with the portion of the staff between your hands,[37] step in with your right leg and wind your short point in your right hand to his face. If he displaces this, step to the rear again with your right foot and thrust your long point to his face. If he thrusts to your face double like this, take it away with your foremost point and immediately step in with your left foot and thrust your rearmost point double to his face. Should he perceive this double thrust and displace it, strike him quickly with your long point to his right side. If he displaces this as well, wind double to his chest. With that step back into a good stance. |

[14] A Gewicht Stab against a Groin Stab When you come to close with the opponent, step in with your left leg and hold your staff with your right hand above your head and your left hand well forward on your staff and stab to his left elbow so that you capture his gewicht ("sleeve"?). If he thrusts like this to the sleeve of your left arm and you likewise have your staff in your right hand above your head and your left foot set forward, set this aside upwards from upon your staff and immediately thrust to his groin. Thus you hit him with your thrust below his, which is in vain. Then immediately follow inward with your right leg and wind your rearmost point to his face. If he winds like this to your face, set it aside with your foremost point. Then hold your staff directly in front of your face and immediately step in with your right foot towards him and strike his staff out of his foremost hand with your rearmost point and thrust with your foremost point to his face. If he sets this aside, yank your right leg back and shoot your long point to his chest. With that step back in to a good stance. |

[15] A position in the Wag against a Gewalt Stoss It happens at the closing that you stand in this position with the feet equally together, your staff pointed at the ground, the left hand mid-way on the staff, the right hand at your right side and present yourself with your body in the Wag ("balanced stance" or "position"). Then immediately step in with your left leg and thrust your long point to his chest. If he thrusts like this to your chest and you stand with your left foot forward, your staff at your left leg pointed at the ground and your right hand over your head near your point, then step in with your right leg and set this aside with your foremost point from your right hand. Then immediately step again with your right foot to the rear and thrust with the Gewalt Stoss ("power thrust") with your strong and with your long point to his face. If he thrusts with the strong like this to your face, step in with your left foot in the triangle so that you avoid his thrust. Then immediately step in with your right leg towards him and release your staff to pass over and strike his head. Then grip your staff once again with your left hand and wind double away from him back into a good stance. |

[16] A Long Point with an Abnemen against a Crossed Wechsel When you come to the closing with the opponent step in with your right foot and hold your staff forward pointed at the ground with your right hand mid-way and the left near your point back at your left hip. He then stands opposed to you in the Crossed Wechsel ("changer") with his right foot set forward. Go forward with your long point and at the same time follow outward with your left leg and thrust to his face. If he sets this aside, follow outward with your right foot and wind your rearmost point to his face or chest. If he thrusts double like this to your face, go forward with your staff and set this aside with your foremost point. Then follow outward with your left leg and thrust your rearmost point to his face out of the Crossed Wechsel. If he displaces this, quickly wind him again double to his left side. If he nachraisen ("travel after") you like this, set this aside with your half staff. Then follow outward with your left leg and stab with your rearmost point to his left side. Then immediately yank your left leg back and strike him with your foremost point to his head. With that step back into a good stance. |

[17] Two Upper Thrusts to the Chest from the Left Side It happens at the closing that you step in with your left foot towards him and thrust with your staff from your left side inward between his arms to his left chest. He then stands opposed to you also in the Upper Thrust from his left side with his left foot set forward and thrusts to your chest as well. Then release your left hand from your staff and grip with it to his staff near his point and at the same time wind your point beneath his left shoulder with your right hand. Then step in towards him with your right foot and with that wind both staves at your right side with crosswise arms. Thus you will have him such that he cannot work against you. If he has you locked up like this such that you cannot work with your staff, then quickly allow the staff to drop, set your left foot behind his right from the outside, grab with your right hand to the back of his right knee and with your left below his right shoulder well around and across your body. Thus you will with this prevent him from harming you. |

[18] A Thrown and Pinned position from which He Cannot Escape Hold yourself as follows at this closing. Strike inward with the Sturzhau ("plunging strike") towards him, then set your left foot forward and thrust your foremost point to his face. If he thrusts like this to your face when you are opposite him at the closing, then set it aside with a forward wind at your staff, step in with your right foot towards him and thrust your long point to his chest. If he thrusts like this to your chest, then step well in towards him and set the thrust aside with the mid-point of your staff between your hands. Then immediately throw your staff outward over your head, put your body in the Wag and grab with both hands to his waist. Then squeeze him to you and lift him well upwards so that you have him in the weak position. Then immediately throw him down so that you have used him to break your own fall. Knee him to his groin with your right foot between his feet and your left beneath his right. Seize both his hands for by the throat and press hard everywhere to the ground so that you control him.[37] If you have thus been violently thrown down and controlled, quickly take heed that your hand is not locked up, but rather stop him with either hand in his face, the thumb under the chin and the other fingers beneath the eye sockets. Grab hence strongly with either hand. Thrust him strongly to the groin. Extend a foot that is unencumbered and at the same time yank him against you so that you give him a good one to the groin. With these three grips you can bring him to the mark. |

[19] A parry with half staff position on both sides This is what you do when entering before your opponent: if he is standing with his right foot forward and thrusts at your face, do thus: stand with your right foot forward, hold the staff with the arms outstretched over your head, step forward with your left foot and turn in the back end of the staff into his face, and you have parried his thrust. You can do these techniques from both sides with both full or half staff position, by turning the staff both before he attacks and after. |

[20] A strike with a parry Do as follows in this play: strike with long staff toward the head of the opponent and step forward with your left foot. If your opponent comes at you in this manner, then hold the staff in half staff thrust and raise it high in the air. Step forward with your left foot and parry his strike in the middle of your staff, then turn the back end between his both hands and thrust him in the face, and hit him in the head with the front end, whereby you may step away from him in good defence. |

[21] An high and a low bind in half staff position this is what you do when fencing in towards your opponent: when you both bind from below or from above against each other, then step forward with your left foot, and thrust with the back end to his face. If he parries, then strike him in the head with the front end. If he does this, on the other hand, then parry with half and whole staff and strike him as soon as you see him open. |

[1] The first two bindings with the pike on the weak and the strong Do this device thus: hold your pike on your left side, and stand with your left foot forward. Stretch out your right hand holding the back end of your pike on your right side and take hold of it with the left hand. Then, step forward with your right foot and thrust to his face. If he attacks you thus, and you then stand with your left foot forward, holding your pike with at level with your left knee, and the right hand by your right leg, then parry his thrust with the front end of your pike, change through, step forward with the right foot, and thrust to the right side of his chest from our right side. Should he parry this, let the tip sink to the ground, step back with the right foot and lift up the pike in front of your face wih the right hand over your head, place it back on the side and thrust from your right side to his left. If he thrusts at you thus, then parry his thrust, step back with the right foot and swing the pike up, and go to the strong, ie you direct the pike towards his face, and sense if he presses his pike hard or loose against yours on your right side. Then grab the pike with in the front end again, step forward with your right foot and thrust to his face on his right side. If he parries, then step back with the right foot again, lower the point to the ground, and lift it over your head in good protection, as you back away from him. |

[2] The weak and strong on the pikes at first contact When you engage in fencing with the pike in this device, you do thus: stand with your right foot forward and direct the point towards his face, and keep your left hand by the left leg. Then, step forward with your left foot and thrust towards his throat. If your opponent on the other hand attacks you thus, and you then stand with your right foot forward and the right hand by the right knee, and your left hand above your left leg, then do as follows: move his thrust aside to your right with your front end, step forward with left foot1 and thrust to his face. Should he parry, you change through underneath, and thrust to his chest. Then, you step forward again with your right foot and lift the pike up into free position, ie holding it level with your head, either to the right or left of you, and then thrust to his face. If he attacks you thus, then step back with the left foot and parry with a crossed changing guard to your left. Take a step bak further with your right foot and turn the pike out of the changing guard to your right and thrust again at the same spot. Then you lower the tip raise your right hand above your head, holding the pike in front of your face in good protection. Furthermore, should your opponent use the same double thrust against you, then quickly parry between your hands, step forward with your left foot and thrust to his chest, then you may retreat from him unharmed. |

[3] Right and left open guard The right open guard is performed thus: stand with your right foot forward and the point on the ground, left hand on back end and right hand by your right knee. From here, you step forward with your left foot, raise the point and thrust to his face. If he tries to do this to you, and you then stand with your left foot forward, with left hand by your left knee, and the right hand on the back end, and leave the open guard and enter into the crossed changer, and parry as you take a step back with the left foot. Then raise the pike into free standing with feet together, and the pike resting on your left elbow. Step forward again with the left foot, and thrust hard against your opponent’s face. If your opponent parries, step forward again with your right foot, and thrust to his left side. If he does this to you, then push away his thrust with the front end of your pike, from the left side to your right, and quickly thereafter you step forward with your right foot and thrust to his groin. Should he parry, you step forward with the left foot, raise the pike above your head and thrust to his face. If he does the same double thrust to you, then parry with the front end, change through from his left to his right and thrust to his face or chest. Then, turn to your right in open guard with right foot forward and withdraw from your opponent in good defence. |

[4] Free standing against the bar guard When entering before your opponent, perform the free standing thus: stand upright with your left side turned toward him, and hold your pike resting on your left arm with the point towards your opponent, and your right hand on the back end. From here, you step forward with the right foot, and thrust as hard as you can towards his body. If your opponent comes at you this way while you are standing in the crossed changer, right foot forward, then pull back your right foot, and parry his thrust to your right. Then, step forward again with your right foot, and thrust to his face. If he parries, then you step further with your left foot, change through from your right side to his left, and thrust to his chest. If he does this to you, then parry with the front end of your pike and, step forward with your left foot and thrust him in the chest as well. If he parries, and you are then standing with your left foot forward, then parry with your front end, step forward with the right leg, and thrust to his face. Then step back again and lower the point to the ground, raise your right hand over your head and the pike before your face. Should he then come after you, then execute an as long thrust as you can at him and move away from him, well defended. |

From here you shoot the pike through your hands towards your opponent’s chest. If he does this to you, and you are about to thrust to his face, standing with the left foot forward, you step forward with right, turn the pike to the left of you and thrust to his face. Should he parry, then step back with the right foot, and if the opponent comes after shooting his pike at you, then parry to your right with the crossed changer guard, step forward again with your right and thrust to his face. If he were to do a double thrust against you thus, then parry with with your front end, change through from your right side to your opponent’s left and thrust him under his left arm. If he parries, then step forward with your left and thrust to his groin. If he does it to you, and you are then standing with your right leg forward, then pull it back and parry to your left, step forward again and thrust to his front leg. Should he parry this, you raise pike and thrust to his face, and then withdraw from him away from danger. |

[6] A thrust to the face against a thrust to the groin This device is performed thus: stand with your left foot forward and thrust to his face from your right side towards is left. He he does so, and you are then standing with your left foot forward, then parry with your front end, and thrust to his groin. Should he do so, then pull back your left foot and parry with your front end, step forward again, and thrust to his chest. If he parries, then turn your pike over his, and thrust to his face. If he uses the same double thrust against you, then parry with the middle of your pike, step forward with your right foot and thrust your point to his face. If he sees it and parries, then turn through with your pike, step forward with your left and thrust to his right side. Should he do so, then parry with the front end to your right, step forward with your right foot and enter the strong of your pike, ie. You raise it and direct it towards your opponent’s face and sense whether he pushes his pike firmly against yours or not. From there you attack him wherever you see him open, above or on the inside. Should your opponent do this to you, however, you raise the pike above your head and parry, and then thrust to his face. Thereafter you withdraw from him well protected. |

[7] Simple changer against a middle pike position Enter the simple changer as follows: step forward with your left leg, and hold your pike with the point to the ground, your left hand by your left knee and your right on the back end to your right. From here, step forward with your right foot and thrust to your opponent’s left side. If your opponent attacks you in this manner, and you are then standing in middle pike position with your left foot forward, with both hands at chest level on your right side, then step forward with your right leg and parry with the middle of your pike, then step forward again and thrust a half pike thrust to his face, and he can do no more against you. If he attacks you thus, and you cannot parry with your front end, then change through and pull back the pike, that way you are again on equal terms with your opponent and may fight with him. Now, you step forward quickly and thrust from middle pike position wherever you see him open. Should he parry, then step forward with your left and thrust to his chest. If he thrusts at your openings in the same manner mentioned, then take two steps back in crossed changer, and take hold back end of the pike with your right hand, and from here you seek openings from the weak and the strong, and from one side to the other. Should he parry your thrusts, then wind in a long thrust to his face from your right hand, and withdraw from him protecting yourself as well as you can. |

[8] A reversed thrust against a take off/parry This manner is how you perform a reversed thrust: stand with your left leg forward, holding your left hand by your left knee, and the right on the back end of your pike between your legs, point directed towards your opponent. Then step forward with your right and pretend to thrust to his left side(german text says right), but instead you change grip and thrust a reversed thrust. If he does that to you however, while you are standing in a parry, then step forward with your left lower the tip to the ground raise the back end up in front of your face with straight arms, and remove his thrusts above and below, from one side the other. Having parried thus, then step forward with your right, raise your pike you your right, and turn in a thrust to your opponent’s throat. If he parries, then change through from your right to his left, and thrust to his face. If he sees it and parries, then step forward with your left foot and thrust to his left side. If he uses the same attack, and you are then standing with your right foot forward, then turn your right hand to your left and parry thus. Then enter the strong position, step forward with your right foot and thrust to his upper opening, and you may step back from your opponent well protected. |

[9] An upper run-in against an upper set-on When entering before your opponent to fence with pikes, then stand with your left foot forward, and grab hold of your pike in the middle, with the most part of the pike hanging behind you, arms well outstretched, left hand in front, and right hand behind your head. From here you take a step forward, and thrust to the opponent’s chest between both is arms. If he attacks you thus, and you are standing with your left foot facing him, then pull it back and parry between your arms. Then you step forward with your right foot and shoot the pike forward through your hands so that the front end comes into your left hand, and thrust to his face or chest. If he parries and comes after you, then change through twice, and step back, so that you hold the back end of your pike in your right hand. Furthermore, should your opponent use the same technique against you, then thrust a long thrust to his groin, and step forward with your right, and thrust to his chest. Should he parry while you are holding your pike extended befor you, then change through from his left to his right side, and turn in a thrust into his face. Should he parry this as sell, then step forward with your left and thrust to his left side as you move away from him well protected. |

[10] A low run-in against a low parry Perform this device as follows: when you engage with your opponent, then bind with his pike with your front end, and step forward with your left, and sense if he pushes firmly or loosely against your pike. If he is loose, then let your pike shoot back through your hands step forward with your right and thrust to his throat. If your opponent does this, and you are standing with your left foot forward, left hand by your left knee and right hand on the back end by your right leg, then step forward with said (right) leg and parry his thrust between your arms, then quickly pull back your right leg and turn your pike to the right, and as you do so pull your pike through the hands, this way you will again come on equal terms with your opponent. Then, change through from his left side to his right, and thrust to his face. If your opponent does this however, then parry with the front end to your right, pull back your right foot and shoot the point in from his right side into his face, and step away from him, well protected. |

Si minus fortiter restiterit, tum voluendo lanceam per manus retrorsum celeriter, introgreditor contra hostem dextro pede, et collum impulsu adpetas. Sin vero is eodem habitu adversum te fuerit usus, sinistrum pedem praefigentem, manumque sinistram iuxta genu laevum adposueris, posteriorem vero mucronem, iuxta pedem dextrum, intro ad hostem pede praenunciato concedas, et impulsum ipsius intra tuam manum utramque versus latus tuum dextrum avertere non dubitabis, interea autem dextrum pedem reducito, atque lanceam in dextrum latus deflectes. Verum in ipso deflexionis motu per manus lanceam retrorsum si retorseris ad aequales certaminis labores ex eo habitu venire poteris mucrone anterioris porrecto, et interea lanceam ab eius lancea si circumvolueris de hostis latere sinistro versus dextrum, visum ipsius pulsabis impulsus impetu. Adversario autem simili contra te habitu utente, mucrone anterioris eum repellere memineris versus tuum latus dextrum, sed dextro pede reducto, lanceae mucronem de latere eius dextro anteriorem contra hostis visum contorqueas, atque in tuta tuis corporis defensione ab eo recedas. |

[11] A parry against a forceful free thrust from the strong* Perform the device in this manner: stand with your left leg forward, pike held above your head with the right hand on the back end, and the left in the middle, point directed toward the ground. If he then thrusts out of the strong, ie with the point directed to your face, sensing you pressing hard against his pike, and steps forward with his left leg, then parry to the right and left and, lift the front end of your pike, step forward with your right foot, turn your pike through and thrust to his face. If you see him do this to you, then step back with your left foot and, change grip with your right hand on the pike and turn it to your right side, you will parry the attack. Then, leave the bind and thrust to the right side of his face. If he does this, on the other hand, and you are standing with your right leg forward, then quickly turn your pike from his left side you his right and thrust to his groin, and from here you step away from him making sure you do so well away from harm. * Latin: A parry against a forceful free thrust where the pike is directed to the face. |

[12] A bind followed by a run-in and a throw If you wish to perform this device well: then step with your left foot forward and bind with the weak against your opponent’s right side. Then swiftly change through and thrust him in the left side. If you see him coming at you this way, then parry in the middle of your pike, step forward with your right foot and, raise your arms above your head, and thrust to his face or chest as hard as you can. If he does this, though, then let go of your pik and turn away his pike from your chest with your left hand, step in quickly, and grab the middle of his pike. If your opponent has grabbed hold of your pike in this manner, then let go with your left hand and grab him by the weak point by his right elbow. Then step with your right foot behind both is feet, grab hold with your right hand in the weak point behind his left elbow, cross your arms forcefully, so that you can shoot your head through between them. Then, if you turn this way, you can lift him up on your back without any risk of harm, and carry him away however you like. |

[1] The First Two Oberhau with the Halberd from the Left Side It happens at the closing that you stand in this technique with your left foot forward and hold your Halberd above your head. Then immediately follow outward with your right foot and strike to his head. If he strikes like this to your head and you also stand opposite him in the Oberhau with your left foot forward, then set your left leg back and strike him similarly from above so that his strike is in vain. Then immediately lift up and thrust your foremost point into his face. If he displaces this, change through from his left to his right side and set your blade on his right arm. If he has set upon you like this, then step back with your right leg so that you strike away from him. Then immediately stroke upwards with your Halberd before his face and in the stroking wind on his halberd at his left side. At the same time wind your Halberd and snatch it towards you. If he is strong and will not give way, step in with your right leg once more and thrust to his chest. If he thrusts like this to your chest, then step back with your left leg again and set the thrust aside with your rearmost point so that you are free from harm. |

[2] The Underhau with the Halberd from Both Sides It happens at this closing with the Underhau that you stand with your left foot forward and hold the point downward opposite of the opponent. Then immediately move your right hand to your right hip and thrust to his face or chest. If he sets this thrust aside, change through from his left to his right side. If the thrusts double like this to your face and you stand with your left foot forward also in the Underhau, then drive with your right hand to your right hip with your Halberd and set this aside at your right side with your blade. Then immediately follow outward with your right leg and set your foremost point at this chest. If he sets the point at your chest like this, step back with your left leg, then immediately quickly yank the right back as well so that you can again match him equally and strike an Oberhau to his head. If he strikes you from above like this, drive up with your Halberd from below so that you fan his strike with your blade. Then immediately yank back and thrust to his groin. With that yank yourself to the rear. |

Sed si idem ab hoste fieri animadverteris contra te in habitu aversionis consistentem, sinistrumque pedem praefigentem, tum si sursum manum dextram rexeris, impulsus eius ad irritum redigetur, et confestim dextro pede consequutus, mucronem anteriorem hostis vultus infiges. Cum vero tuum adpetierit visum, eum avertere non dubitabis ex latere tuo sinistro versus dextrum loco firmioris, interim ab utroque latere vibrabis bipennem in hostis conspectu.

[5] A Bind from which a Reyssen ("Snatch") Proceeds It happens that you stand in the bind with your left foot forward, your Halberd’s rearmost point at your right hip and the point opposite his face. Bind him from your right to his left side and then immediately wind your Halberd quickly over his and snatch it towards you. If you then stand like this opposed to him in the bind with your left foot forward and he snatches towards himself like this, then follow outward with your right leg and thrust into his chest above his left arm. Should he perceive this thrust and displace it, change through from his left to his right side and thrust to his face. If he seeks your opening like this from one side to the other, then step back with your left foot and set this aside with your rearmost point at both sides. Then immediately step in again with your left foot, wind your blade out in front and take his Halberd away, and then thrust to his face. If he sets this aside, seek his opening from one side to the other in the change through and with that yank[62] back twice. |

[6] A Bind with an Upper Sperzen ("Obstruction") It happens at this closing that you stand with your left foot forward and he stands opposite to you in the bind with his left foot set forward. Wind forward at his Halberd in the bind and turn your blade to set it over his hook. If he intends to wind upon you like this, turn your Halberd and shove upward with it. Then immediately jerk your Halberd over quickly and thrust to his face or chest. If he sets the thrust aside, stroke outward with your Halberd in front of his face and seek the nearest opening. If he seeks your openings like this, set it aside with the foremost point of your Halberd, follow outward with your right foot, strike his Halberd away with your rearmost point and with that wind double from underneath to his face or chest. Should he perceive this winding and step back, travel after him double with strikes and windings. If he travels after you like this with these techniques, set them aside with the rearmost and foremost points of your Halberd and with that step back into a good stance while covering your face. |

[7] An Upper Strike with a Lower Reyssen ("Snatch") It happens that you stand in the Upper Strike with your left foot forward and hold your Halberd in the Oberhau. He then stands likewise opposite to you with his left foot set forward and his Halberd opposite of your face. Take this aside with the Oberhau and at the same time snatch towards you from your left to your right side.[37] Then move up with your Halberd into his face. If he intends to go at your face like this, wind your Halberd with the blade behind his leg and yank with it so that his thrust is in vain and you can likewise cause him to fall. Then immediately travel after him with a thrust to his face. If he thrusts like this to your face, take it aside with your half Halberd, change through from one side to the other and seek the nearest opening. If he sets this aside, likewise bind with him at his Halberd and turn his foremost point away with your rearmost point. Step inside with your right foot in front of his left and immediately drive your rearmost point around his neck to his right side. With that yank him towards you so you can throw him. If he intends to throw you like this, change up both hands on your Halberd and set your Halberd on his right arm. Shove him away from you with it so that you are free from harm. |

[175r] Ratio, qua contra adversarium superne ferire licet, pariter addito habitu inferne vellendi. In hunc modum ita te adaptabis, sinistro pede praefixo in habitu ictus superi bipennem tuam contineas. Et si is vicissim contra te sinistrum praeposuerit, porrecta bipenne sua contra faciem tuam, tum ictu supero eum repellas. Interea autem versum te velles de latere tuo sinistro in dextrum, ex eo igitur habitu bipennem contra hostis visum dirigas. Sed si is idem usurparit, laminam bipennis tuae retrorsum eius pedi adiunges, et si versum te adtraxeris, conatus eius irritus fiet, simulque hostem ea ratione prosternere poteris. Confestim etiam instando consequutus visum eius impulsu conquassabis. Verum si is eadem ratione tibi institerit, bipenne media eum avertes, eaque rotata de alio latere in aliud, proximam nuditatem hostis conquires. Cum vero se ab eo discrimine se liberum reddiderit, tum pariter eodem momento eum ipso ferias. Sed in ipso bipennem contactum mucrone posterioris, eius anteriorem deflectes, pedem dextrum interius hostis sinistro praepones, interim vero mucronem posteriorem circa eius collum ex latere dextro adplicabis, et si eo habitu adversarium adtraxeris, facile eum prosternes. Sin autem te prosternere conabitur, manum utramque commutabis, atque tuam bipennem dextro eius brachio applicato, ea ratione si eum propuleris, te liberabis. |

[8] A High Winding out of the Bind with a Lower Sperzen ("Obstruction") It happens that you stand in this technique with your left foot forward and your Halberd at your right chest with the point opposite his face. Immediately step in with your right foot and hit him with an inverted strike to his head. If he strikes you from above and you stand with your left foot forward, displace this with your blade and immediately bind him. Then change through from his left to his right side, wind over his Halberd with that and press strongly downward.[42] If he has obstructed you like this, follow outward with your left foot and wind your Halberd once again strongly to him with the point in his face. If he sets this aside, step with your right foot in front of his left and wind your rearmost point inward between his arms over his right arm. Press downward with that at your right side so you can strike to his head with your blade. If he has wound hard upon you like this, change through your left hand quickly once again on your Halberd, immediately step back with your left foot and strike with your rearmost point to his head. |

Ad eum habitum hac ratione te compones, pedem sinistrum praeponito, bipennem supra pectus de latere dextro contineas, mucro in adversariis visum sit directus, ex eo habitu dextro intro procedas, et ictu converso, ictus autem is conversus est, si bipennem contineas iuxta parte anteriorem, dextra vero posteriorem atque is circumagatur sub brachio sinistro, ut anterioris parte caput eius pulses caput eius quassato. Sin autem te superne adgressus fuerit pedem sinistrum praeponentem, bipennis lamina eum repelles, atque eodem momento cum hoste ferias. Verum in ipso bipennum contactu, ea rotata de latere eius sinistro versus dextrum, trans hostis bipennem, tuam superinflecte, et si firmiter deorsum suppresseris, intercludetur adversarius.

Hoste id excipiente, dextrum pedem eius sinistro praepones, atque inter eius brachium utrumque mucronem posteriorem inferere memineris supra brachium dextrum. Ex eo igitur habitu si depresseris de latere tuo dextro, caput eius tuae bipennis lamina ferire poteris. Caeterum si hostis idem perficere conatus sit adversus te, tum manum sinistrum bipennis applicatam rursus transmutabis, sinistrum pedem si reduxeris, caput hostis mucrone posteriori sauciato. |

[9] An Inside Arm Thrust against a Face Thrust When you come together at the closing and he thrusts to your face, step in with your left foot and thrust inside of his left arm. At the same time set the blade upon him and with it shove him away from you to his right side so that his thrust is in vain. Then quickly yank your Halberd towards you and thrust your foremost point to his chest. If he thrusts like this to your chest, set your left leg back and set it aside with your blade. Then immediately move your Halberd up for his face, step in once again with your left foot and wind your point to his face or chest. If he winds like this to your face, take this aside from one side to the other and then immediately step in with your right foot and strike with your rearmost point to his head. If he displaces your strike, step with your left foot to his right side and strike with your blade to his right arm. If he strikes towards you like this, take it aside with your rearmost point and wind your foremost point from below to his chest. Then immediately step in with your right leg and strike with your rearmost point to his head. |

[10] A Chest Thrust with a Sperzen It happens that you stand in this technique with your left foot forward and hold your Halberd above your right chest. Then immediately thrust with the foremost point of your Halberd to his chest. If you then likewise stand against him with your right foot forward and he thrusts towards you, set the thrust aside in front with your Halberd, then immediately fall over his blade with your Halberd and pivot yourself to your left side so that you obstruct his Halberd.[37] From the obstruction grip with your left hand to your right, set your right foot back and strike from above to his head. If he strikes from above towards you like this, step back with your left leg and set this aside with the foremost point of your Halberd. Then immediately shove strongly upward with your Halberd, step in with your right foot and wind your rearmost point to his throat. If he sets this aside, follow outward with your left foot and strike with your blade to his head. If he strikes you like this from above, displace it to your right side with the portion of your Halberd between your hands. With that strike double while moving back. |

[11] A Prusthau from below against an Oberhau with a Reyssen ("Snatch") It happens that you stand at the closing with your right foot forward and go forth with the Prusthau ("chest strike") from below to his left arm and change up your hand on your Halberd. Then immediately pivot from your right to your left side and snatch to yourself.[37] If he snatches you towards himself like this with the strong and you stand with your left foot forward, change through your left hand quickly on your Halberd and strike to his head from above. If he displaces this with his foremost point, then wind from below to his chest at his right side. Should you perceive this thrust, set your right foot back and take it aside with your rearmost point. Then immediately work with this same point from one side to the other, follow outward with your right leg and wind your Halberd in between his arms to his chest over his left arm. If he does not release his hand from his Halberd you will lock his arm. If he intends to lock your arm like this, change up your hand on your Halberd, step in immediately with your right foot and thrust your rearmost point to his groin. With that you are free of him. |

[12] Two Reyssen from above out of the Bind When you both come together at the closing and the opponent has initiated the bind, step with your right foot in front of your left and wind your blade forward around his neck. If he intends to snatch you like this with his blade and you stand with your left foot forward, likewise wind your Halberd around his neck and snatch strongly towards yourself.[37] If he then snatches strongly towards himself like this, step in with your left leg and take his Halberd away with your rearmost point at your left side. Then immediately drive your rearmost point forward around his neck, set your right leg behind his left and snatch to your right side. Thus you can throw him. If he intends to throw you like this, release your left hand from your Halberd, grip with it well behind his right elbow and shove away from you so that you are free. Then immediately quickly grip again with your left hand to your Halberd and strike to his head. With that change yourself from him to the rear. |

[13] A Reyssen from Below against a Gewalt Stoss ("Power Thrust") It happens that you stand with your left foot forward and hold your Halberd near your left leg with the blade directed at the opponent. He then stands opposite to you in the Gewalt Stoss ("Power Thrust") with his left foot set forward and intends to thrust towards you. So go forward with your Halberd around his leg and pivot from your left to your right side.[37] Thus you snatch him towards you, his thrust can bring you little harm and you can also throw him. If he has prepared like this and intends to throw you, quickly release your Halberd from his throat, set the blade on his Halberd and press strongly downward so that you are free of his throw. Then immediately drive quickly from his Halberd up towards his face. If he displaces this, change through from his left to his right side and thrust to his throat. If he displaces this as well, step in with your right foot and wind your rearmost point to his face. If he works towards you like this, set your left foot back and take away his foremost point with your rearmost point. Then immediately step in with your left foot and wind your foremost point to his face. With that yank yourself back into the Wechsel. |

Sin autem is eadem fuerit contra te molitus, tum repente tuam bipennem ab eius collo remove, verum tuae bipennis laminam, eius bipennis adplica, firmiterque si suppresseris, te liberabis, ne ab hoste prosterni queas. Interim vero ab eius bipenne tuam sursum tollas contra eius visum. Caeterum si hostis id removerit se defendendo, bipenne rotata de latere eius sinistro in tuum dextrum, collam eius impulsu quassabis. Sed si id rursum repulerit, pede dextro introgreditor, atque mucronem posteriorem versus adversariis visum convertas. Si autem is eadem usurpet, sinistrum pedem referre non dubites, et eius mucronem anteriorem posteriori tuae bipennis repellas, subito autem sinistro pede intro concedas, mucronem anteriorem versus hostis visum si direxeris, in habitu mutatoriis ab adversario recedas. |

[14] A Winding with a Throw When you both come together at the closing and have equally bound upon each other, change through at his Halberd from his right to his left side and thrust to his left arm. Should he perceive this thrust and displace it, change through double and seek his nearest opening. If he seeks your opening like this, stroke with your Halberd from below to in front of his face and strike his foremost arm. Then immediately bind strongly on his Halberd and quickly change through to thrust him double to his face. If he thrusts double like this towards you, take this aside with the foremost point of your Halberd such that your left foot stands forward. You then likewise stand opposite to him with your left foot forward. Then take away his Halberd with your rearmost point, step with your right foot behind his left and set your rearmost point in front of and around his neck.[37] With that yank strongly from above to yourself so that you throw him over your right leg. |

[15] An Ubergeen ("Going Over") from above along with a Side Thrust It happens that you stand at this closing with your left foot forward and hold your Halberd at your right side with the point directed against the opponent. He then stands also like this against you at the closing. Bind with him equally and then wind your blade behind his hook and shove upwards with it. If he has prepared your Halberd like this and shoves upward, step with your right foot behind his left, yank your Halberd over and thrust from below with your rearmost point to his left side.[37] Then immediately set your right foot to the rear again and strike with your blade to his head. If he works at you like this, take it aside with your rearmost point and immediately follow outward with your right foot and strike his left arm. If he displaces this, wind in with your rearmost point between his arms to his chest and immediately step back with your right leg and strike to his head. Thus you strike as you get away from him. |

[16] An Underhau with an Absetzen in the Half-Halberd It happens that you stand at the closing against the opponent with your left foot forward and hold your Halberd at your right side. He then stands likewise opposite to you in the Underhau with his right foot set forward and the Halberd on his left side. Stroke upwards towards his face with your Halberd. If he goes towards your face like this, strike from below to his left arm.[63] If he strikes to your left arm like this, set it aside with your half-Halberd at your right side and then immediately set your blade over his left arm and press downward with it. If he presses downward with strength like this, step with your left foot behind his right and strike with your rearmost point to his head. Then quickly yank your right foot back and wind your foremost point to his chest. If he winds like this towards you, set it aside with your half-Halberd and wind your rearmost point over his left arm from below. With that snatch to your right side and then yank yourself back from him with an Oberhau. |

[17] A Cut with a Throw out of the Hacken ("Leg Hook") Hold yourself as follows at the closing out of a Schnit ("cut") from above. Stand with your right foot forward and hold your Halberd above your head with the blade turned upwards. You then stand against him like this with your right leg set forward, so hold your Halberd at your right side directed towards his face. Then immediately step in with your left leg and set your blade in front of his throat. If he has set upon you like this, set your rearmost point under his left shoulder and shove to your right side. Then immediately step back with your right foot and cut to his head from above with your blade. If he cuts to your head like this, drive up with your Halberd well in front of your head and displace his cut with your blade. Then immediately step with your right foot behind his left and take his Halberd away from above with your rearmost point. If he takes your Halberd away like this, step back with your left foot and wind your rearmost point to his left arm. If he winds towards you like this, step with your left foot behind his right, set your blade in front of his throat and place the Hacken ("leg hook") around his right foot from the outside.[37] Then immediately shove strongly away from you from above and jerk towards you from below so that he must fall. |

[18] A Verkerer ("Inverter") against an Underhau It happens in the Verkerer ("inverter") that you pivot around on your right foot to your left side in an Oberhau such that your left foot is turned against the opponent. Then immediately strike to his head with an Oberhau. If he strikes from above like this towards you and you stand with your left foot forward with your rearmost point directed at the ground out front opposite the opponent,[37] then drive up with this same point and take his strike away. Then immediately step in with your right leg and strike from below with an Underhau to his left arm. If he displaces this, go with your rearmost point to your right side and at the same time step back with your right leg and change your foremost point from his left to his right side towards his face. If he changes likes this towards your face, displace this in front with your Halberd and immediately wind through on his Halberd from one side to the other to seek his nearest opening. If he sets this aside, step in with your right leg and take his Halberd away with your rearmost point. With that thrust to his face or chest. Then step back into the Wechsel. |

[19] A Halberd Capture with a Throw When you come together at the closing and have bound equally with each other, change through from his right to his left side with a thrust. If he takes this aside, step in with your right leg and take his blade away with your rearmost point at your right side. If he intends to take your Halberd away like this, step back with your left foot and thrust your rearmost point to his chest. If he displaces this, step in towards him once again double and hit him with your rearmost point to his head. If he hits towards your head like this, displace this at the mid-point of your Halberd, then immediately grab with your left hand to his rearmost point and with your right hand to his foremost such that you have both Halberds in your hands. Then immediately step with your left foot onto his right knee so you can break his leg in two. If he has prepared both Halberds together like this and intends to step upon you, release your right hand from your Halberd and drive it around the back of his knee from the outside.[37] Then immediately shove strongly away from you with your left hand and yank hard upwards from below so that he must fall and can work no further harm towards you. |

[20] A Bainpruch ("Leg Lock") against a Nackstoss ("Neck Thrust") When you come together at the closing and have bound each other equally, hold your Halberd opposite his face and then immediately change aside on his Halberd and thrust to his face. Should he perceive this thrust and displace it, step in with your right foot and wind your rearmost point from below to his left arm. If he winds towards you from below like this, change up your left hand quickly on your Halberd and thrust with your foremost point to his chest. If he displaces this, strike with your rearmost point to his head. If he strikes you like this from above, step back with your right foot and take his strike away with your foremost point. Then immediately wind strongly beneath his Halberd and shove it upward. Then step in double towards him and let your Halberd fall, grab with your right hand below to his left foot and with your left shove powerfully at his left knee so that you can lock his leg or throw him. If he has prepared you like this, set your Halberd at the nape of his neck and press strongly downward.[37] Thus you counter his efforts. |

[1] Two High Cuts with the Scythe Present yourself like so in this piece: When you both are going together, stand with your left foot ahead and hold your scythe on your right side with your left hand at the lower grip, your right on the middle one. At that moment cut to his left side, in around toward his right arm. If he cuts at you like that and you also are standing with your left foot toward him, and you too are holding your scythe on your right side with your left hand at the lower grip, your right at the middle one, then leap in a triangle and set his cut off outside in front with your scythe on your right side. Now step in there out of triangle with your left leg and cut at his neck. If he cuts high at you in that way, then step backwards with your left leg and parry his cut outside in front on your scythe. In the same moment, nimbly step in there again and wind your scythe behind your head and out from there with a cut from your left side to the right side of his head, and with that, step back away from him. |

[2] Two Low Cuts If you are both coming together, then conduct yourself like this in this piece: Stand with your right foot in front and hold your scythe in a low cut with your right hand at your middle grip, your left at your lower one. At that moment step doubly in a triangle and cut to his right arm from behind your head so that your arms come crosswise one over the other. If he cuts at you like this, and you also stand with your right foot toward him, and you hold your scythe in a low cut, your right hand at your middle grip, your left at the lower one, then go up out of your low cut and take his cut away on the outside of your scythe on your right side. At that moment, step in a triangle on your left side with your left leg and wind your scythe behind your head and back out to his head, so that your arms come crosswise, one over the other. In the same moment, step back from him with a good parry. |

[3] Two Middle Cuts Hold yourself like this with this piece: When you are both closing together, stand with your left foot in front and hold your scythe on your right side, with your [left]* hand at your lower grip, your right at your middle one. At that moment, follow in after with your right leg and cut around his body with your scythe toward his right side. If he cuts a middle cut to you like this, and you also stand with your left foot toward him, and you also hold your scythe on your right side with your right hand at your middle grip, your left at your lower one, then step in there in a triangle with your right leg and wind your scythe behind your head and out again so that your arms come cross-wise over each other with a cut toward the right side of his body. If he cuts at you with a middle cut like this, then go inside to him with your scythe at his scythe. Shove strongly with it away from you on your right side. In that moment, step with your left leg to his right side and cut to his head. Step away from him with it. |

[4] Taking Away Against a High Cut If you are both going together, then hold yourself like this in this piece: Stand with your left foot in front and hold your scythe in front of your body, toward the man, with your right hand at the middle grip, your left at your lower one. In that moment quickly cut toward his head. If he cuts high to you like this, and you are also standing with your left foot toward him, and you are holding your scythe high in front of your face with your right hand at your middle grip, your left at your lower one, then take away his high cut with your haft on your left side. If he has taken you away in this manner, then wind through underneath and quickly cut* to him with the point of your scythe toward his head. If he wishes to set you aside and cut at you like this, then go up with your scythe and take him away on the outside your scythe on your right side. At that moment, cut toward the left side of his head. With that, step backwards from him. |

[5] Crossed Cut against a Straight One Conduct yourself like this in this piece: When you are closing with each other, stand with your right foot in front and hold your scythe straight to the man with your left hand at your lower grip, your right at your middle one. At that moment, cut around his body toward his right leg*. If he cuts low at you like this, and you are also standing with your left foot toward him, and you hold your scythe toward the man with cross-wise arms, then take it away below with your haft on your left side.

In that moment cut toward his left (forward) leg. If he cuts low at you in this manner, then set your lower grip of your scythe before your left leg and step with your right to your left and with that, take his low cut away. In the same moment, go up and cut toward his neck. Step back away from him with it. |

[6] Two Arm-cuts If the two of you are going together, then conduct yourself like this in this piece: stand with your right foot ahead and hold your scythe toward the man in a high cut, with your right hand at your middle grip, your left at your lower one. In that moment cut outside to his right arm. If he cuts high at you like this, and you are also standing with your right foot toward him, and you hold your scythe toward the man with your right hand at your middle grip, your left at your lower one, then set him aside with your lower grip. At that moment cut at him from below to the inside of his right arm. If he cuts at you from below in this way, then exchange your left hand from your lower grip to the middle one, and your right to where your left stood at the lower grip, thus you escape from his cut. In that moment, quickly cut at him from underneath toward his right arm and with that, step back away from him in a good parry with your scythe. |

[7] A Cut against a Taking-away Conduct yourself like so in this piece if you are both coming together: Stand with your left foot forward and hold your scythe straight before your body, with your right hand at your middle grip, your left at your lower one. In that moment, quickly cut toward his right arm. If he cuts at you like this, and you stand with your right foot toward him, and you hold your scythe toward the man with your left hand at your lower grip, your right at your middle one, then go up with your scythe and take his cut away with it on your right side. At that moment, cut toward his right arm with your scythe. If he cuts at you like this, then take that away on your haft, between your two hands. In that instant, let your left hand loose from your lower grip and step back away with your left leg, thus you escape out from his cut. Next, grab hold of your lower grip again with your left hand and step around and in again with your left leg. With that, cut to the right side of his neck and step back from him. |

[8] A High Cut against a Low One When you are both coming together, then conduct yourself like so in this piece: Stand with your right foot forward and hold your scythe straight toward the man. At that moment, quickly cut below toward his left (forward-placed) leg. If he cuts low to you like this, and you stand with your left foot toward him, and you hold your scythe high on your right side, your left hand at your lower grip, your right at your middle one, then go to him with your scythe around the left side of his neck. Pull him to you with it, thus you are free from his low cut. If he cuts high at you like this and pulls you to him, then let your left hand go from your lower grip, put it on his haft and shove strongly upward, thus you take away his high cut. In that moment, grab hold of your lower grip again with your left hand and step back with your right leg, thus you are able to cut his left foot away. |

[2] A bind with the peasant staff When you go together, then arrange yourself so in this piece. Stand with your right foot forward and hold your staff with your left hand at your back end, your right in the middle with a stretched arm. If he then also stands with his right foot against you and holds his staff in both hands like you and strikes towards you, then also drive towards his strike with your staff [and] bind him with that. When you have bound him so and you feel that he resists you strongly, then step with your left leg on his right side, and strike him to his right arm. If he strikes at you so, then hang your staff well down on your right side. Thus with that you take his strike from him. Then, follow to with your left leg and strike him to his head on his right side. With that step back from him. |

[3] The Longspear against the Sword Hold yourself like this with this piece: When you are both closing together, stand with your left foot in front and hold your spear on your right side with your left hand ahead toward the man, your right behind your right leg on your spear. At that moment quickly stab at him toward his face. If he stabs high at you like that, and you stand with your right foot toward him and you hold your sword in the Change on your left side, the point toward the ground, then go up with your sword out of the Change and with that strike to his spear. Thus you take away his thrust on your right side. If he has cut at your spear like this, then pull your spear downwards. In that moment, go up again so that you have your spear well out front in the middle and stab him through the left side of his body. If he has stabbed you through your body, then cut strongly to him with your long edge toward his head, and this strike must be done quickly or else it is wasted. |

[4] The Halberd against the Sword If you are both going together, then hold yourself like this in this piece: Stand with your right foot forward and hold your halberd with your right hand on the lower end at your right hip, your left in the middle toward the man, the point up. At that moment, stab him in his face with your forward end. If he stabs you high like this, and you also stand with your left foot toward him, well in the balance, and you hold your sword with both hands on the haft on your left side, the point toward the man, then plant your long edge on his halberd and set him aside with it. In that moment, step in with your right leg and go up over your head with your sword with crossed arms and cut high to his head with your long edge. If he cuts high at you like this, then wind your halberd behind your head and back around and strike him with the blade of your halberd toward his head. |

[5] The Dussack against the Sword Conduct yourself like this in this piece: When you are closing with each other, stand with your right foot in front and hold your dussack in your right hand toward the man, your left hand on your left hip. In that moment, quickly cut toward his head. If he cuts high at you like this, and you are standing with your left foot toward him, then oppose his dussack with crossed arms, restraining his cut with yours, away to your right side. At that moment, follow in with your right leg and let your sword quickly overrun and cut toward the left side of his head. If he cuts high at you like this, then take that away with your dussack on your left side. In that moment, leap to his right side with your left foot and cut to his right arm. If he cuts to your right arm like this, then hang well to your right side and parry his cut with your sword. In that moment, step in there with your left leg and cut to his forward leg. |

At that moment, cut to his head with your long edge. If he cuts from above at you like this, and you stand with your left foot toward him, and you hold your dussack on your left arm with your right hand on your grip in the air behind your head, your long edge wound upward, the point toward the man, then take that away on your left side. In that moment, step in there with your right leg and cut to the left side of his head. If he cuts at you from above like this, then hang your sword on your left side so that the long edge is turned upwards and parry his cut with it. In that moment, cut to his left leg with your long edge and step back away from him with it. |

[7] The Dagger against the Sword Conduct yourself like so in this piece: If two of you are coming together, then stand with your left foot forward and hold your sword in front of your face toward the man. In that moment, cut to his head. If he cuts from above at you like this, and you stand with your left foot toward him, then quickly step in there with your right leg and parry his cut with your dagger on your right arm, close to the grip on his blade. In that moment, catch hold of his right arm with your left hand, (going) inside over his handle. Pull him to your left side and stab at his face. If he thrusts high at you like this, then let your left hand loose from the pommel of your sword, take hold of his left and shove it upward. Thus you take away his thrust. At that moment, step back with your left leg, yank your right hand to you, and take hold of your pommel again with your left. In that moment, cut to his head and step back away from him with it. |

[8] One More Piece with the Dagger against the Sword If you are both coming together, then conduct yourself like so in this piece: Stand with your left foot in front and hold your sword with crossed arms, so your grip is on your right side and the point is toward the man. At that moment, turn your point with a thrust to his chest. If you stand with your right foot toward him, and you hold your dagger in your right hand along the inside of your right arm, your left hand on your left hip, and he thrusts at you like this, then fall upon his sword with your dagger and push it firmly away from you on your right[64] side, thus taking away his thrust. In that same moment, follow in with your left leg and catch his right hand with your left and stab him in the throat. If he stabs high at you like this, then seize his right with your left hand and take it away to your left side. In the same instant, step back away from him and quickly wrench your right hand toward you and cut to his head. |

In the same moment, grab the outside of his right arm with your left hand and step behind his right with your left leg and stab him in his face or the chest. If he thrusts at you like this, then snatch hold of his right with your left hand and shove it to your left side away from you, thus you take his thrust away.

[1] A cut from above with the sickle from both sides If you both approach each other, and hold the sickle correctly, if you put your right foot in front and hold the sickle in the right hand next to the left side of your head, and stretch the opened left hand towards your opponent, and from there follow with the left [foot], you cut his head from his right side. But if the opponent turns at you in the same way, [while you are] standing with the left foot in front, holding the sickle in the right hand, holding [it] next to the head down at the left shoulder, with[65] the left on the right [hand], then deflect with your sickle your opponent to your right side. Then, if you have grabbed the right [hand] of the opponent with the left hand, you wound his head on the right side. But if the opponent comes at you in the same way from above, if you quickly grab his right [hand], you can in this way turn away his cuts. And from there, you can immediately, if you pull the right [hand], try to cut the left leg of the opponent standing in front. But if he tries the same, then push the right elbow of the opponent more inwards with your left hand, if you then pull back the right hand, you can hit his head with the point of the sickle and pull back again. |

[2] A low and a high cut In mutual battle, if like an athlete you prepare yourself for the fight, you will put your right foot in front, and opposite the opponent hold the sickle with the right hand, but hide the left arm under the right arm, and if from there you make a pass with the left foot,[66] you will by cutting from the low position stop the right arm of the opponent. But if in the same way you place your right foot opposite him, and hold the sickle with the right hand in the manner of the high cut, and the left under the right arm, then you will displace his attempt to your left side with your sickle, and meanwhile, after you have with the left hand grabbed the right hand of the opponent, from the left side of your opponent cut his neck with the sickle. But if he comes at you in the same way from above, you will again grab his right hand with your left hand, and if he makes an attempt, displace this to your left side, and hit his left arm with the sickle, and from there again pull backwards. But if the opponent pulls back, you will with two steps press on to threaten the opponent and cut his head. |

[3] A cut against a way of pulling by the opponent In this fight, when you come closer to the opponent, you will stretch your right arm, and with the right hand hold the sickle opposite him, but hold the left [hand] on the left hip, and then, after you have followed with the left foot, you will hit the head of the opponent with the sickle. But if he comes at you in the same manner, [while you are] standing with the right foot in front, and if you hold the sickle against the opponent with the right hand and in the same manner hold the left hip with the left hand, you will displace his attempt to your right side. If from there you connect the sickle with his right arm, you will quickly pull him towards you. But if he wants to pull you towards him in the same way, if then with the left hand you grab his right, and to your right side displace the attempt of the opponent, hit his head immediately on the left side and from there pull back. But if the opponent likewise pulls back again, you will threaten him sharply by following him, and hitting the right hand of the opponent with the sickle. |

[4] A cut from above and one from below In this manner, you can adapt to the opponent, when you stand up straight with both legs together, and with the right hand hold the sickle high, with a straight arm, next to the head, but place your left hand in the same way on the left hip, and if from there you step in with the right leg, you will hit the head of the opponent with the sickle. But if he takes the same position against you, [you] standing with the right leg in front, and with the sickle in the right hand next to the leg that stands in front, and the left hand in the same manner on the left hip, you will with a raised sickle displace his strike to your right side. If from there you follow with the left, you will hit the right leg of the opponent standing in front. But if it happens that he, from the low strike hits you in the same manner, you will with your left hand grab his right elbow from the outside, pull it towards you, and if you place the sickle on the right shoulder of he opponent, you will put him down by cutting. |

[5] Two cuts that hit the arms To the aforementioned manner, you can adapt in this way: if you remember to place the right foot in front and to hold the sickle against the opponent with the right hand, if you connect the left [hand] with the left hip, you can then cut his right arm with the sickle. But if he approaches you in the same way, while you hold your right foot in front and against the enemy hold the sickle with the right, then place your left arm onto his right arm from the the front, and displace the cut of the opponent towards the left side: if you grab the aforementioned hand strongly, from there you will wound his right arm with the sickle. But if he uses this, then with the left hand grab the right of the opponent, make a pass inwards with the left foot, and if you lift his right above the[67] head, and immediately pull back your right again, you will hit his groin with the sickle. But if the opponent also uses this, bring the left hand up over his own right arm,[68] and if you then in that manner pull him hard towards you, you can break the opponent’s arm, and from there cut his neck and pull back again from the opponent. |

[6] The double cut against the double parry In the mutual battle of this fight, when you yourself reach the opponent, then put your left foot in front, and hold the sickle high with the right hand opposite the opponent, and cut his neck from the right side. But if he in the same manner comes at you from above, [while you are] standing with the right [foot] in front, then hold the sickle against the opponent in the manner of the low cut, and block his right arm with the left hand, and after you have lifted this high, you will cut his right arm next to the armpit with the sickle. But if he attempts the same, after with the left hand you have grabbed the opponent’s right and have lifted this, you will displace his cut in this manner. But if you from there immediately retract the right, you will try to cut the right foot of the opponent [which is] placed in front. But if the opponent in the same manner uses this, then grab his right hand with your left, and in this manner displace his attempt, and if you then pull back the right hand immediately, you will wound the neck of the opponent with a cut, and pull back from him again. |

[7] A high and a low cut and their parry If you both approach each other, then put your left leg in front, and hold the sickle high with the right hand against the opponent, and from there cut his head. But if he in turn attempts to injure you from above, then again put your left leg in front, and hold your sickle against the opponent in the cut from below, then you will hinder his right arm from the front with the left hand, and if you then lift this, you can displace the high attack of the opponent. And from there you can injure the knee of the opponent’s left leg, [which is] placed in front. But if the opponent in the same manner hinders you from below, you can hinder his right elbow from the inside with the opposed left hand, and if you then displace him strongly, you will displace his cut, and if you then quickly again pull the right hand towards yourself, and attack the right arm of the opponent by cutting, you will from there pull back from him again. |

[8] Two cuts against their parry In this manner you will behave in a mutual fight: remember to place your left leg in front and to hold the sickle high with the right hand opposite the opponent, and you will hit part of his neck or his left side. But if the opponent in the same manner attempts to cut, you, standing with the right foot in front against him, will then hinder the right hand of the opponent with your left hand, and if you then lift it high, you will in that manner displace the enemy cut. And from there you will not omit to hit the left side of the neck of the opponent with the sickle. But if he will come at you from above, you will with the left hand hinder his right elbow from the inside, and if you pull that back hard towards your left side, and so displace the opponent with force, if you then immediately follow up with right towards the inside, for him towards the left side, and immediately pull your right hand towards you, you will cut the left side of the enemy body with the sickle, and from there make sure that you pull back from the opponent safely. |

[9] A different manner for the above form To the aforementioned manner in a mutual fight you can adapt as follows: put the right foot in front, and hold the sickle with the right hand high from the right side, and connect the left [hand] with the left hip, and follow the placing of your body to the left, then cut with the sickle in the left side of the neck of the opponent. But if the opponent has come at you in the same manner, then place the right foot in front against him, and hold the sickle high with the right hand, and connect the left [hand] with the left hip, then direct the left hand from below upwards and you will block his right arm next to his shoulder, and if from there you pull him towards you as hard as you can, you will displace his cut and in the meantime cut the head of the opponent. But if he in turn tries to hit your head, then grab his right hand with force with the left hand, and if you displace that to the left side, you will deflect the cut of the opponent. And if you have finished this situation, then quickly reach with the sickle to his right leg, [which is] placed in front, and from there pull back. |

[10] A cut from above against a way to parry To this technique you will adapt in the following way: put the left foot in front and hold the sickle opposite the opponent with the right hand, and you will cut his neck from the right side. But if he attempts (to hit) you in the same manner, [while you are] standing with he left foot in front, you will again lift the sickle with the right hand, and with the centre of the sickle block his attempt, and immediately after that with the left hand attack his right elbow by pushing against it, and then lifting him strongly upward: and if you then suddenly pull the right [hand] towards you, after you have followed with the right foot, you will cut the neck of the opponent from the right side. But if the opponent attempts the same against you, you will with the left hand grab his right on the inside, and if you lift it, you will deflect the opponent’s idea against you. But if you are deflected in the same way by the opponent, you will immediately attempt to cut his left foot, [which is] placed in front, and when you pull him towards you by pulling, it is possible to injure him by cutting, or to throw him. |

[11] Two cuts on the outside In the fight you will act in this manner: put your right leg in front, and hold the sickle with the right hand opposite the opponent, but put your left against your left hip, and from this position you cut the enemy’s neck from outside on the right side with the sickle. But if he uses this against you, [while you are] standing with the left foot in front, and are also holding the sickle in the right hand opposite the opponent, then grab the right elbow of the opponent with the left hand from the outside, and if you sharply displace that towards your right side, you will deflect the cut of the opponent, and from there you will make sure that you cut his right elbow from the outside with the sickle. But if the opponent attempts the same against you, you will not neglect to grab the right arm of the opponent with left hand and in that way displace his cut. And from there you will with force attempt to cut the left leg of the opponent, [which is] placed in front, after pulling back the right [hand] towards you. But if he has come at you in the same way, you will displace him with force with the left hand against his right arm. But if the opponent displaces you in the same way, you will suddenly pull back your right, and if from there you injure his head by cutting, pull back from him again. |

[12] A cut from above against one that attacks the side In this fight, when you arrive at the opponent, you will remember to place your right foot in front, and if you hold the sickle high with the right hand against the opponent, you will hit his head. But if the opponent acts against you in the same manner [while you are] standing with the right foot in front, and you in turn are holding the sickle in the right hand in the manner of the middle cut, then with the left hand grab the right arm of the opponent at the front, next to the hand, and if you lift him upwards in that way, you will displace the cut from above. And quickly you will wound the right side of the opponent with the sickle. But if you understand that he attacks you in the same manner, then with the left hand hinder the right elbow of the opponent from the outside, and if you push the opponent strongly away towards your right side, you will deceive his middle cut, and meanwhile follow with the left foot and hit his right leg, [which is] placed in front, and from there again pull back from the opponent. |

[13] Two cuts with their applied parry You will adapt to the opponent from this fight in this way, that you put your right foot in front and hold the sickle with a stretched arm against the opponent, and you will make sure that you cut his head with force. And if he in his turn attempts to wound you, then you [standing] opposite him with the right leg in front, and the sickle held in the right hand in the manner of the cut from above, cover the right elbow of the opponent with the left hand from the outside, and if you then lift this, you will lift away his cut from above. Meanwhile you will cut the right arm of the opponent from above next to the hand. But if he attempts to injure you in the same manner, you will place your left hand on the chest of the opponent between both his arms, from the right side, and in this manner you will push him away, and from his cut you will safely release yourself. But meanwhile, after you have pulled towards you with your right hand, you will cut the right arm of the opponent, and from there pull back from him again. |

Ad hostem ex eo habitu, hoc pacto accommodato te, dextrum prepones pedem, recto brachio falcem uersus hostem porriges, atque caput eius animose proscindere curabis. At si te sauciare fuerit vicissim conatus, adversus se dextrum prefigentem, contraque falcem dextra in habitu superne incisionis tenentem, adversarii tum cubitum dextrum, manu sinistra exterius obrue, atque si ex hoc sublevaris, eius incisionem supernam sustuleris. Interim uero adversarii brachium dextrum superne iuxta manu proscindas. Verum si is consimiliter te conetur sauciare, tum pectori hostis, manum sinistram adiungas intra brachium ipsius utrumque, lateris dextri, hoc modo eum propellas, et ab eius incisionem te securum reddideris. Sed interea dextra uersum te adtracta, dextrum brachium proscindes hosti, atque inde ab eo recedes. |

[14] Two cuts from below In this fight, if you stand straight with both legs in the same place, and with the right hand hold the sickle at the right side, but at the same time grab it with you’re the left [hand] and place the right against the right hip, and then place the left foot in front next to the left foot of the opponent, on the outside, and if you cut to his left foot, [which is] placed in front, you will in this manner pull the opponent towards you. But if he uses this against you, you will block the left shoulder of the opponent with the left hand, and if you pull the opponent down towards your left side, you will deflect his cut. But if meanwhile you throw the sickle between his legs in his genitals, and from there you pull him towards you, it will be possible in that manner to throw the opponent over the left leg, [which is] placed in front. |

[15] Two middle cuts by which a way is formed to throw the enemy If it will be necessary to adapt to this action in this manner, you will put your right foot in front, and hold the sickle with the right hand, in front of your face opposite the opponent, but also place the left [hand] against the left hip. Meanwhile you will place the left foot outside behind the right of the opponent, and in the manner of a cut from his right side connect the sickle around the loin to hit. But if he attacks you in approximately the same manner, you in your turn will use the learned method [a cut around the loin from the right], and pull the opponent towards you from there. But if he in his turn connects his sickle with your loin, you will with the left hand hinder his elbow on the inside, and displace the attack of the opponent to your left side. Further, if you in turn are displaced by him in the same manner, if you have grabbed his chin with the left hand, you will lift this up. But if the opponent attempts to turn this against you, you will immediately attack with the sickle, and pretend to want to attack the opponent from above to cut, but to deflect you will cut his left arm and in this manner you will free yourself, so that he cannot grab your chin. But if you understand that the opponent wants to do the same against you, then throw the sickle away, and throw your left hand from above against his neck, and put the right on his genital, and if in this manner you will lift up the opponent, you will throw him down on your left side. |

Ad eum habitum hac ratione te adaptes necesse erit, dextrum pedem prepones, proque facie tua falcem dextra contra hostem tenebis, sinistra uero coxe itidem laeue adplicabis. Interim uero sinistrum pedem adversarii dextro exterius postponas, atque habitu incisionis, falcem circum lumbos lateris dextri eius feriundo adiunges. Verum si is te haud dissimili ratione corripuerit, tum et tu vicissim habitu commemorato utaris, atque inde uersus te hostem attrahas. Sin autem suam is falcem lumbis vicissim tuis adplicarit, sinistra dextrum eius cubitum interius impetas, uersusque latus sinistrum tuum, impetum hostis repellas. Caeterum si eodem habitu fueris ab eo vicissim repulsam passus, mento eius sinistra correpto, sursum id surrigas. Adversario autem id moliente sursum te uertente, falcem subito corripias, quasique superne laedere proscindendo hostem uelis, sed deflectendo, brachium eius sinistrum sauciato, et ea ratione te liberabis, ne mentum tibi possit adprehendere. Sin autem idem ab hoste fieri intelliges contra te, falce abiecta, sinistram collo eius superne iniicias, dextram uero pudendis applices, sique eo modo sublevaris hostem, in latus sinistrum tuum eum prosternes. |

[16] A way to throw the enemy on the ground by lifting him If you want to use this action in an athletic manner, you have to place your right foot opposite the opponent, and hold the sickle opposite the opponent with the right hand in the manner of the cut from below, but place the left against the left hip, and if from there you move forward to the inside with left, you will place the sickle against his right arm to cut. But if he in the same manner uses the middle cut against you, you will again place the right foot in front, and with the middle of the sickle deflect his attack to your right side. But if you are in the same manner deflected by the opponent, you will place your left hand against his right elbow from the outside, and from there put him away towards your right side. But if he in his turn puts you away, you will direct your sickle around his loin from his right side in the manner of a cut. Further, if the opponent attempts it in the same manner against you, you will throw away your sickle, and take hold of the side of the opponent’s head with the right hand, with the left hand on the left side, and in this manner you will turn the face of the opponent upwards towards the sun and at the same time you can throw him towards your left side. |

At si te is vicissim removerit, tum falcem tuam de latere eius dextro circum lumbos dirigas in forma incisionis. Caeterum adversario idem contra te moliente, falce abiecta, dextrum capitis hostilis latus corripias manu dextra, laeua uero latus sinistrum, eo itaque modo faciem contra solem sursum adversario convertas, simulque eum in latus sinistrum tuum potes consternere. |

[1] The first binding-on at the dagger Item, conduct yourself thus in the onset with the daggers. Wind yourself with stabs and with thrusts to him [so] that your right foot stands forward. If he thus thrusts to you at your right side and you stand also with your right foot forward against him, so take him out away from there with an outside binding [so] that your thumb stands above on your pommel. Immediately pull your dagger nimbly to yourself and thrust to him therewith at his right side. If he should thus then thrust at you, so take that [his] away from below so that your thumb stands on your pommel and the blade lies outward on the arm.[70] Immediately step with your left leg behind his right and grab with your left hand on his right elbow. Shove him therewith from you and, simultaneous with the shove, stab at his face. If he has thus seized you and stabs at your face, so take him away nimbly inwardly with your left hand.

[46] Another throw at the dagger Item [stind?]: If you both come together in the onset so that your left foot stands forward and you stand in the lower Scales and you have your dagger in the right hand, so lay the dagger’s blade outside on your arm and hold thus your hand with the dagger next to your right leg in the guard [posture, stance]. If he thus steps in front of you in the Scales and he stands with his [??lower??][95] leg upright in the high thrust the point turned against the man, so step with your left leg inwardly in front of his left and stab him therewith above at this face. If he thus thrusts also at your face, so grab with your left hand on his right arm and immediately stab him inwardly under his left leg in through and heave therewith his leg well over itself and shove above with the left his right well over itself, so you bring him into disorder [schwerhe][96] and to the throw.

[48] A Throw at the Dagger Item: If you stand with your right foot forward, and have placed yourself with the body under itself in the Scales, and lay your left arm over your right arm crosswise in front of your breast; hold the dagger in the Shears, in the right hand by the grip, the point turned over itself. If he then lies thus with stretched-out arms in the low Scales, and you thus stand forward with your right foot and you hold your dagger in the right hand by the grip, the thumb on the pommel thus in the High up over your head, so step with your right leg in to him, and stab him from above at his face or the breast.

[1] A Taking of the Sword with a Throw When you are in the approach with your right foot standing forward, then step in toward the man with your left leg behind his right and cut toward his head with your long edge. At that moment, move your left hand from your grip to your sword blade. With that, wind the short edge on the left side of his neck. If you then stand with your right foot against him and he has confined[116] you like this, then plant the cross and shield of your sword under his left arm and briskly shove it upwards. Thus you take his trap[116] away. At that moment, grab the pommel of his sword with your inverted left hand and turn it well upwards. Thus you wind the sword out of his hands, and you may also be able to throw him. |

[2] A Planting which Proceeds from a Throw When you are in the approach with your left foot standing forward, then follow in after with your right leg inside of his left. In the same instant, cut to the left side of his head with your long edge. If he moves to strike a cut from above at you like this, and you are standing with your left foot toward him, then cut to the left side of his head with your long edge to oppose him, thereby taking away his cut on your left side. At that moment, cut him from his right side upon his left so that your short edge on his sword blade comes close to his grip. Next, let your left hand go from your pommel and take hold of your blade with inverted hand and plant it on the left side of his neck. Wrench to your left side, and thus you may be able to throw him over your left leg. If he has planted upon your neck like this and wishes to throw you, then quickly let your right hand go from your grip and plant it on his left elbow. Now strongly shove away from you and kick him in the ankle with your right foot around his left. With this, pull towards you below and shove away from you above. Thus, you throw him backwards. |

[3] A Throw with the Sword If you stand in the approach with your right foot toward the man, then step in after with your left leg and cut to the left side of his head.

If he has seized you in this way and intends to throw you, then grab his right hand with your left and push it down, thereby taking it away. In the same instant, hit him in the ankle with your left foot around his left. Pull that strongly toward you while you pull his right hand to you with your left and also push him strongly away from you above with your right hand, thus you throw him backwards. |

[4] How One Shall Hold Down a Thrown Opponent When you go to the man upright in the wrestling with arms crossed in the scissors, then step in to him with your left leg and, out of the scissors, grab over and around his body with your left hand, and inside and around his left leg with your inverted right hand. Lift high upwards with your right while pushing away from you above toward your left side. Thus, you throw him over your left hip. If you have thrown him like this, then fall with your right leg between both of his by his crotch. With your left knee, kneel upon the muscle of his right arm, and grasp the muscle of his left arm with your right hand. Thus you are able to hold him down so that he cannot get away or free himself from you. As you do this, you may be able to stab him in the eyes or face with a dagger in your left hand. Or you may be able to throw dirt or sand in his face and deal with him as you wish. |

Inde si sinistrorsum represseris, punctionem eius avertisti, atque post venabulum de parte priori corripias. Quod si is tuum corripere conabitur. Venabulo retracto, de hostis latere sinistro versus dextrum, pectus pungito seu visum. Sin vero adversarius pari modo idest gemina punctione te fuerit adgressus, tum ense hispano dextrorsum repellas, postea sinistro pede intro concedas, mediamque hastam ipsius adpraehendas, et celeriter visum ipsius fodias.

[1] A High Thrust against a Low Thrust with the Rappier It happens like this in this technique: hold your Rappier in your right hand in front of your forward leg in a low thrust position directed towards his groin. He then stands with his left foot opposite you and thrusts towards your face at the upper opening.[37] Then drive up with your Rappier out of the low thrust position, fall over his Rappier and with that take away his thrust to your left side with your short edge. Then immediately step with your left leg in the triangle on your right side and strike to his forward leg. If he strikes low towards you like this, then yank your left leg back and take it away with the long edge so that you avoid injury from him and can work against him once more. |

[2] An Understich against an Oberhaw Hold yourself like this with this technique: stand with your left foot forward and hold your Rappier in an Understich ("low thrust position") opposite the opponent on your right side with the blade along your left thigh. He then stands with his right foot opposite you and strikes from above to your head. Then drive up with your Rappier out of the low thrust position and with that fall over his Rappier to take away his strike to your left side with your short edge. Then immediately follow outward with your right leg and do an extended strike from above to his head. If he strikes like this to your upper opening, then take it away with your long edge and immediately step back. As you step back pay attention that you strike his right forward set leg and with that yank back away from him. |

[3] An Understich against a Zornhaw ("wrath strike") It happens like this with this technique at the closing: he stands with his right foot forward and holds his Rappier with his right hand outside of his right leg. You then stand opposite him with both feet together and hold your Rappier up high in the Zornhaw over your head.[37] He thinks you will then strike him wrathfully from above, but step in with your right leg and wind with a Verborgnen Stich ("concealed thrust") behind your head and forward from your right side to your left into his face with a Nachtruck ("after-press"). If he has wound a thrust like this towards your face, then take it away with your short edge to your left side, immediately follow outward with your left leg and strike him with the same thrust to his right opening that you then see. With that step back away from him. |

||||||
[4] An Underhaw against a High Thrust Hold yourself like this with this technique at the closing: stand with your left foot forward and hold your Rappier in an Underhaw outside next to your left thigh. He then stands with his right foot opposite you and fires a high thrust towards your face or chest.[37] Then go up with your Rappier out of the Underhaw and take his thrust away with your long edge and at the same time follow outward with your right leg and strike to his head. Then immediately step with your right leg behind your left in the triangle and wind a thrust towards him from your left to his right side. If he thrusts at you like this, then strike against his thrust with an Underhaw with the long edge and with that spring back. Thus his thrust is averted. |

[5] The Winding Thrust with a Concealed Point against an Abnemen It happens like this with this technique at the closing: step in with your left leg and thrust with an extended arm behind your head forward to his face.[119] If he thrusts towards you like this from above and you stand with your right foot opposite him, then drive up with your Rappier and take it away from your right side to his left with your long edge.[37] If he has parried you like this, then wind through low with a Lufftstich ("air thrust") to his face or chest. If he thrusts towards you like this, take it away with your long edge to your right side. Then immediately follow outward with your left and strike or thrust to his left forward set leg. If he persists and follows after you, then thrust to his face or chest from above and with that step back away from him. |

[6] One High Thrust against Another Hold yourself like this with this technique at the closing: stand with your right foot forward and hold your Rappier high in your right hand extended over your head with the point directed at his face. If he also stands this way opposite you with his body and Rappier and does not thrust or strike at you,[37] then step in with your left leg and wind a thrust to his face or chest. If he thrusts high towards you like this, then set your short edge high upon his Rappier and with that take his thrust away. Then immediately yank back high and thrust low to his groin. If he thrusts low towards you like this, then step back with your left leg. If he persists and travels after you, then step in again quickly and hit him with a strong winding thrust to the body. With that move back away from him. |

[7] Falling Over with a Krumb against a Thrust It happens like this with this technique at the closing: stand with your right foot forward and fire a long winding thrust from below to his throat. If he thrusts from below towards you like this and you also stand with your right foot opposite him, then fall over his Rappier off-line with your short edge and with that take his thrust away outward on your right side.[37] Then immediately wind a thrust in over his blade to his face or chest. Should you perceive his thrust over your blade, then drive out high with your long edge and with that take it away. Then immediately yank your right leg back and strike him with the long edge to his right forward set leg. With that yank yourself back away from him. |

||||||
[8] The Concealed Thrust against a Winding Thrust from Below Hold yourself like this with this technique at the closing: stand with your right foot forward and fire a long winding thrust from below to his body. If he assaults you with a long thrust like this and you also stand with your right foot opposite him and hold your Rappier in your right hand behind your head such that the point hangs to the rear on your back,[37] then yank your right leg back and with that go out from his thrust. Then immediately quickly step in towards him again and wind the Concealed Thrust from your right side to your left behind your head forward to his face or chest. If he intends to parry this, then step again in the triangle on your right side and strike or thrust to his left arm. With that yank yourself back away from him. |

[9] A Strike from above against a Parry with Rappier and Dagger It happens like this with this technique at the closing: stand with your left foot opposite him and hold your Dagger in your left hand on your left hip with the point towards the opponent. Then immediately strike towards his head with the long edge of your Rappier. If he strikes from above like this towards you and you stand with your right foot opposite him and hold your Rappier and Dagger next to each other in the Versazung ("parrying position"), then wind over his Rappier with your Dagger[37] and step in quickly with your left leg. During the step drop your arm over his blade such that it stays under your left shoulder. Then immediately thrust your Dagger low to his groin and your Rappier high to his body such that the long edge is turned up. If he goes at you like this with both thrusts from below and above, then go up with your Dagger from below to his Rappier and take it away to your left side. Then step inward with your right leg in front of his left and at the same time wind your long edge upward and shove powerfully away from you with the Bogen ("bow") under his left shoulder. Then immediately step back again and strike or thrust to his body. |

[10] A Powerful Thrust from Above and Below Hold yourself like this at the closing with this technique: step in with your right leg and do a powerful low thrust to his groin with your Rappier. If he thrusts low towards you like this and you stand with your left foot opposite him, then set this aside with your Dagger to your left side and during the parry do a powerful thrust with your Rappier from above to his face or chest such that the long edge is turned upward. If he thrusts high towards you like this, then drive upward with your Dagger to his Rappier and with that take his thrust away on your left side.[37] If he has taken you aside like this, then yank your Rappier up quickly away from his Dagger and thrust low to his body. If he thrusts low at you like this, then step back with your right leg and take this aside with the long edge of your Rappier. Then immediately quickly step in once again and strike or thrust to his head. With that yank yourself back from him into a good Versazung ("parry position"). |

If he thrusts low towards you like this, then step back with your right leg and drop your Dagger onto his Rappier’s blade and with that take his thrust away to your left side. Then immediately step in quickly with your right leg once again and thrust to his groin. If he thrusts low towards you like this, then step back with your left leg and take this aside with your Dagger to your left side.

[12] Two other Techniques with Free Dagger and Rappier Hold yourself like this with this technique: grasp your Dagger in the left hand and your Rappier in the right and step in with your left leg to immediately strike with your strong to his head and with your Dagger thrust over his right arm to his body. If he strikes and thrusts towards you like this, then take his strike away with the long edge of your Rappier,[37] set your Dagger inside on his left arm, and with that shove away from you to your right side. Thus you also take away his Dagger thrust. Then immediately step back with your left leg and yank your Rappier above you and wind a thrust from below to his groin. If he thrusts low towards you like this, then strike his thrust away with an Unterhaw and immediately follow outward with your right leg and thrust to his body. With that strike back away from him. |

[13] A Thrust from Below against One from Above It happens like this at the closing with this technique: step in opposite him with your left leg and wind a Rappier thrust from below with strength to his body. If he thrusts low towards you like this and you also stand opposite him with your left foot, then drop the crossguard of your Dagger onto his Rappier’s blade and with that take his thrust out to your left side. If he has set aside your low thrust like this, then thrust with your Dagger to his chest.[37] If he has also thrust towards you like this with his Dagger, step back with your left leg and go up with your Dagger and with that take him aside to your right side. Then immediately step in quickly once again with your left leg and thrust with your Rappier out of the Bogen with strength from above to his face or chest. If he thrusts high towards you like this, set this aside with the long edge of your Rappier and then immediately yank your left leg back and thrust low to his body. With that step back from him into a good Versazung. |

[14] A Thrust from Below against an Oberhaw Hold yourself like this with this technique at the closing: step in opposite him with your right leg and fire a low thrust with your Rappier to his body. If he thrusts low towards you like this, then drop your Dagger onto his Rappier’s blade and with that take him away to your left side. At the same time strike with an Oberhaw to his head. If he strikes high towards you like this, step in with your left leg and parry his strike with your Dagger up high. Then immediately drop your left arm over his Rappier’s blade and with that wind it under your left shoulder. If he then intends to thrust you high with his Dagger, take this aside with your Rappier to your left side. Then immediately step back with your left leg and thrust with your Rappier from below to his body. If he thrusts you from below like this, then strike the thrust away with your Rappier and immediately step in the triangle on your left side and thrust to his right side. With that yank yourself back away from him. |

[15] A High Thrust with the Dagger and Rappier Abnemen ("Parry") It happens like this with this technique at the closing: step in opposite him with your right leg and hold your Dagger in your left hand behind your body and at the same time wind the Concealed Point from your right side to your left behind your head forward to his face or chest. If he thrusts towards you like this and you stand opposite him with your left leg, then take this away with Dagger and Rappier crosswise to your right side.[37] Then immediately yank your Rappier up away from his Rappier’s blade and thrust low to his body, but remain with the Dagger on his Rappier. With that he can injure you knowing to thrust. If he thrusts low towards you like this, then yank your Dagger forward, drop it well forward on his Rappier’s blade and take his thrust away. Then immediately step back with your right leg and thrust again low to his body. Thus you avoid injury and may once again come together with him to work. |

[16] The Mordwurff ("Fatal Throw") against a Thrust Hold yourself like this with this technique: stand with your right foot opposite him and hold your Dagger with your left hand behind your body. He then also stands with his right foot opposite you and fires a high thrust out of the Bogen towards your face or chest. So drive up with your Rappier onto his Rappier’s blade, and with that take his high thrust away to your left side. Then immediately you will strike him similarly from above so that he must parry high with his Dagger. You then thrust to the opening on his body. Then yank your Dagger forward with your left hand such that the pommel stands on the ball [of the thumb] and the fingers directly on the hilt. Then immediately throw your Dagger with strength at his body.[37] Thus you throw him to the ground. |

Then immediately spring in with your left foot and thrust to his right thigh. If he has thrust to your forward set thigh like this, then yank it back, spring in quickly again with your left and thrust him with your Sword to his throat with your Buckler in your left hand. If he then thrusts to you, parry this with your Buckler, at the same time thrust in with your Sword under your left arm to his body and spring with your right foot on his right side. With that thrust into his chest under your Buckler. If he thrust to you like this, then spring back with your left foot and parry the thrust. Then immediately thrust to his groin.

[18] Two Bindings from the Left Side Hold yourself like this with these techniques in the Sword: stand with your left foot forward, your left arm outstretched with your Buckler so that your Sword stands at your right chest with your cross under the point opposite the opponent with your blade on your left arm.[37] Thus you can thrust to his left side. Then immediately spring in with your right foot and strike to his right arm. If he parries this with his Buckler, then thrust quickly to his groin. If he thrusts towards you like this and you stand with your left foot forward, then spring back with both feet together and set his thrust aside with your Buckler. Then immediately spring in quickly with your right foot against his right side with another thrust. If he parries this with his Sword, then strike him quickly to his forward set leg. If he strikes like this to your foot, then yank it back and thrust immediately to his face. |

Inde dextro pede intro prosilias, nec non brachium dextrum sauciare conator. At si clypeo suo orbiculari impetum excisserit, derepente pudenda eius fodito. Verum si pari contra te ratione fuerit usus, sinistrum pedem praeponentem retrorsum consilioas tibiis paribus, atque hostis punctione clypeo tuo repellas. Inde celerrime intro prosilias dextro contra latus adversarii dextrum ense in habitu punctionis constituto. Sed si is eum impetum repulerit, praefixum pedem confestim ferito. Caeterum, si hostis idem usurparit, dextrum referre memineris, atque faciem pungere inde non dubites hostis. |

[19] An Upper Abnemen ("Take Away/Defense") with the Buckler It happens like this with these techniques in the Sword: stand with your right foot forward, your blade on your left shoulder, the Buckler in your left hand.[37] Then immediately spring in with your left foot and strike him from below inward to his right arm. If he parries this, then thrust him with your Sword behind your head in towards his face. If he thrusts you like this to your face and you stand with your left foot forward, parry this with your Buckler in your left hand, then immediately spring with your left leg well to his left side and thrust to his right. Should he perceive the thrust and parry it, then strike his forward set leg and with that spring back and wind the point double to his face. |

At si pari ratione is te aggreditur sinistrum praeponentem, tum clypeo tuo in manu sinistra contento vim eam repellas. Inde autem sinistro pede in ipsius latus sinistrum procedas, atque dextrum mucrone haurias. Sed si is hostis animadverterit, nec non impetum tuum repulerit, pedem ipsius praepositum feriundo saucies, atque intro resilias mucrone ensis tui contra faciem hostilem gemino impetu porrecto. |

[20] A Throw in the Sword It happens like this in this technique: spring in with both feet and thrust to his face or chest. If he parries this with his Buckler, then set your left leg to the rear and strike to his left arm. Then immediately spring in with your left foot and thrust to his right side. If he sets this aside with his Buckler, then strike inward from below to his left arm. Then immediately follow outward with your right leg and wind the thrust to his face or chest. If he fires the thrust and strike at you like this, then parry him with your Buckler and immediately spring in with your right foot and thrust him powerfully under your left arm to his right side. Should he perceive this thrust, strike his Sword away with an Oberhaw, immediately let your Sword fall, step with your left leg between both of his legs, and grab with your right hand over and around his left shoulder and with your left under his right shoulder and also around his body.[37] Thus you have him in the Wag and can throw him wherever you want. |

Verum post si sinistro prosilueris latus dextrum pungendo haurias, inde autem dextro consequutus, punctionem vel contra pectus vel visum porrigas. Porro si hostis pari modo modo contra te usus fuerit, orbiculari clypeo eius impetum excipito, verum confestim dextro prosilias intro, atque ensis mucronem ipsius costis lateris dextri sub brachio tuo laevo adigas. Sed si idem fieri ab adversario intellexeris, eius ensem ictu superno removere non dubites,atque ense abiecto sinistrum hostis pedibus utrisque interponas, dextram in humerum ipsisu sinistrum dirigas, et sinistram si corpori eius circumposueris, iniecerisque axillae eius dextrae, in habitu librae eum contines, nec non pro arbitrio tuo prosternere poteris. |

[21] A Thrust with an Abnemen When you go together hold yourself like this in this technique: step in with your left leg and thrust under and through with your Sword to his left shoulder, with your Buckler under your right arm.[37] If he thrusts towards you like this, then take this away with your Buckler and immediately strike to his head. If he strikes to your head like this, then drive up with your Buckler in front of your head and parry him with that. Then immediately pull your Sword up above you and thrust him from below to his chest. If he thrusts towards you like this, then take this away with your Buckler from above down towards the ground. Then immediately step in with your left leg and thrust him again from below to his left side. If he thrusts towards your left side like this, then drop your Buckler on his Sword and take it away with that, then immediately strike to his head and with that yank yourself back from him. |

[22] An Abnemen from Both Sides Hold yourself like this when you come together in this technique: step in with your left leg and thrust with your Sword to his face. If he thrusts to your face like this and you stand with your right foot opposite him, then take this away with your Buckler on your left side and at the same time thrust him with your sword extended to his face.[37] If he likewise takes this away with his Buckler, then step in with your left leg and thrust high over his Buckler with an extended arm to his face such that the short edge is directed downwards. If he thrusts high to your face like this, then drive your Buckler upwards and displace his thrust. Then immediately step back with your left leg and strike to his left arm. If he strikes you like this, then set this aside with your long edge and at the same time hit him in the chest with your Buckler. Then yank yourself back from him with an Oberhaw. |

[23] A Chest Thrust with an Abnemen It happens like this when you come for the opponent in this technique: stand with your right foot forward and do an extended thrust to his chest. If he then thrusts towards you like this and you likewise stand with your right foot opposite him, then drop your Buckler downward and displace his thrust with that and at the same time snap from below to thrust to his chest such that your long edge is turned upwards. If he displaces this with his Buckler, then spring with your left foot in front of his right and strike his right arm. If he strikes you like this, then step with your left leg in the triangle and take it away with your Buckler. Then immediately yank your Sword towards you and thrust from below to his chest. If he thrust towards you from below like this, then drop onto his sword with your Sword and Buckler so that this is taken away. Then immediately wind behind your head and forward to thrust to his face. With that yank yourself away from him to the rear. |

[24] To Take the Sword Note this technique when you go together and the opponent has you in the bind: stand with your left foot forward and he stands opposite you with his right. Hold your Sword to your Buckler in your left hand and catch his sword blade well forward near the point with your right. With that snatch it out of his hand (as in illustration. If he has grabbed your sword out of your hand like this, then step in with your left leg and catch his sword that is in his left hand and thrust your buckler high onto his left arm so that he must release his sword. If he then strikes at you with pommel and cross, drive high with your Buckler and displace this. Then step back twice as you take your sword in your hand again. If he then travels after you, quickly go in again onto his blade and wind your point to his face. |

[25] A Throw out of the Bind It happens like this when you go together: stand with your left leg forward and bind on his blade such that your long edge is turned upward near the point and opposite his chest. If you then also stand with your right foot opposite him and likewise have him in the bind, hold your Sword and Buckler together in your left hand and then immediately step in with your left leg, catch his sword and snatch it out of his hand.

[26] An Upper and a Lower Ansezen ("Set Upon/Attack") It happens like this with this technique when you go together: step in with your left leg and strike low to his left leg such that you have your Buckler in your left hand crosswise over your right. If he strikes like this to your forward leg, then thrust to his left so that you displace him and immediately thrust with your left foot to his left as you stab him in the face with the spike of your Buckler.[37] If he stabs you like this, displace it with your Buckler and at the same time step back with your left leg as you yank your sword back and then thrust to his side. If he thrusts you like this, then displace it with your Sword from your left side to your right and then immediately strike from above to his head. With that yank yourself back. |

[27] A Chest Thrust with a Grab It happens like this when you go together in this technique: stand with your right foot forward and thrust from your left side to his right chest with a winding thrust. If he thrusts towards you like this and you stand with your right foot forward, then take your Sword to your Buckler in your left hand and immediately grab his sword blade with your right hand.[37] If he has grabbed your sword like this, then set your left hand with your Buckler over your right and with that step back with your right leg. Thus he must release your sword to you. Then immediately travel after him and thrust to his face. If he travels after you like this and thrusts to your face, displace this with your Buckler and at the same time step back with your right leg and then thrust from below to his chest.

[28] A Bind with a Grab Hold yourself like this when you go together with this technique: step in with your right leg and hold the Buckler extended over your Sword with the point opposite the opponent. If he then likewise is in the bind with you and you stand with your right leg opposite him, hold your Sword together with the Buckler in your left hand during the bind and then immediately grab his sword blade with your right hand and yank towards yourself.[37] If he holds your Sword like this and yanks you towards him, then grab your blade near the hilt with your left hand and yank strongly towards you. Thus he must release your sword. Then immediately thrust quickly from below to his groin. If he displaces this with his sword, step outward with your left leg and thrust with the spike of your Buckler to his face. If he thrusts towards you from above like this, then displace him with your Sword and immediately strike from above to his head. With that yank yourself back away from him. |

[30] Two Grabs It happens like this with this technique: step in with your left leg and bind on his sword blade. He then likewise stands with his left foot opposite you and binds similarly on your blade. Then hold your Sword together with your Buckler in your left hand and immediately drop your right hand onto his beard. If he has grabbed you like this and holds you by your beard and intends to drop his left hand over his right so that he can snatch your beard downward powerfully, then drop your left hand on his right arm and wind his hand off of your beard.[37] Then strike to his head. If he has wound himself from you like this and strikes towards your head, then once again quickly take your sword in your right hand and displace his strike with your Buckler. Then immediately step back and thrust to his chest. If he takes your thrust away with his Buckler, then strike with a Zwirchhaw as you move back away from him. |

If you then stand with your left leg opposite him and he thrusts upon you like this, drive against him with your Buckler and displace his thrust with that.[37] Then immediately strike quickly with an Oberhaw to his left arm. If he displaces this with his Buckler, then wind in between his Sword and the Buckler with a thrust to his throat. If he thrusts towards your throat like this, then spring back with your right leg and strike to his right arm. If he displaces this with his Sword, then step in again quickly with your right leg and thrust to his face or chest. If he thrusts towards you like this, then spring back with your left leg and strike to his forward set foot. If he displaces this with his Sword, then do a winding thrust to his face and with that yank yourself back. |

Sed cum adversarius eundem usurparit contra te sinistrum praeponentem, obiecto clypeo, eius ictui dextrum pedem intro colloces, atque pedem hostis sinistrum praefixum vulneres. Sin autem is tuum pedem, quem praeposuisti, sauciare moliatur, tum ensem in mucronem pendentem flectas deorsum, acies longa ut superne adpareat, et reducto sinistro pede, hostis ictus eludetur, tuque statim ventrem gemina punctione haurias. Cum vero hostis te pungere conetur pari ratione, tum eum impetum iterato ictu transversario excipito. Adversario autem eodem modo tuum removente, tu gemino ictu cruciato ventre ipsius sauciato, inde pectus eius ex mucrone pendente fodias, atque ictu iterato usus ab hoste recedas. |

[50] Two strikes from below both left sides Step forward with your left foot and strike from above with your sword and make sure to wound your opponent's neck. If he does this, then parry with the buckler you are holding in your left hand and strike him in the head with your sword. If your opponent should strike toward your head on the other hand, then parry with your buckler and strike him in the leg. If he does the same, then pull back the sword from his buckler and strike a lower thwart strike inward, so that you bind with his sword and parry thus on your right side. Then you thrust him in the belly or groin. If he tries to do this to you, then parry with the short edge and move away from him with cross strikes and double thrusts. |
[078v] Habitus inferioris ictus ex utriusque latere sinistro. Quum sinistrum praefixeris pedem, tenens dextra ensem hispanum in superni ictus forma, sinistra clypeum orbicularem, tum cura ut collum hostis vulneres. Si vero is eidem modo te adpetierit sinistrum praeponente, eum impetum obiecto clypeo repellito, quem sinistra contines, nec non pariter etiam caput ense tuo hispano adversarii ferias. Sin hostis tuum caput feriundo adpetierit, eo impetu clypeo orbicularii dempto, pedem ipsius sauciato verberando. Verum si ipse hostis pedem itidem tuum sauciare molitur, tum reducto ense tuo hispano de clypeo ipsius orbiculari usus infero ictu transversario interne, ipsius ensem contingas, atque ea ratione impetum hostilem removeas in latus eius dextrum, inde punctione inferna pubem vel ventrem adversarii fodias. Sed si is idem fuerit molitus, tum acie ensis tui hispani brevi excipito eam vim et inde ictibus et punctionibus cruciatis usus ab hoste recedas. |
||||||
[51] Strike to a buckler parry Step forward with your right foot and hold your sword by your right breast with the point toward the opponent and your buckler in front of your face, and when your opponent steps forward with the left foot and strikes from above to your head as he takes a step forward with his right foot, you move your buckler forward and parry it to your left, as you step forward with your left foot and thrust him in the belly or groin. If your opponent does this, then push the thrust down to your right with your buckler as you step back with your right foot and do cross strikes and double thrusts. |
[079r] Ictus clypeo orbiculari excipiendus. Si dextrum pedem praefixeris, ensem hispanum tentens dextra in latere tuo dextro pro pectore, mucro adversus hostem conversus, clypeum orbicularem sinistra pro facie, ipse autem adversarius contra te sinistrum praeposuerit pedem, atque clypeum sinistra manu contineat, ensem hispanum dextra sublatum in forma ictus superni, nec non dextro ad te concedat pede, caputque sauciare moliatur, tu obiecto ictui hostili clypeo tuo, eoque sublato sinistrorsum vim adversarii removeas, deinde contra ipsum pede laevum colloces, atque de latere pectoris tui dextro porrecta punctione ventrem saucies, vel pubem hostis. Id si ab adversario fieri conspexeris, demissa clypeo tuo in ensem ipsius hispanum, punctionemque ea ratione deprimas dextrorsum, inde dextro pede reducto ab hoste recedas usus ictibus cruciatis, et punctionibus geminis. |
||||||
[52] A pull with the hilt in your opponent's arm along with a cut to his neck Step forward with your left foot and hold your sword in your right hand and your buckler in your left. Then step forward with your left foot and try to thrust your opponent in his right armpit. If he tries to do thus to you, as you are standing with your left foot forward, holding your sword in your right hand, then tip your point down slightly toward your opponent, and hold your buckler in your left hand over your chest as you step forward with your right foot and put it on the outside of your opponent's right and thus you parry his thrust with a hangning point from below to your right. Immediately then pull your opponent's hand with the hilt and cross of your sword just behind his own pommel, while you with the long edge lying on your opponent's neck, pull back your pommel and hilt as hard as you can, and you will slice his neck. But if he tries to do this, then put your left foot on his right side and raise your buckler to his left side, turn your sword so that your cross is on the outside of your opponent's arm and strike it back, thus you will evade his attack. |
[079v] Ratio, qua manum hostis capulo ensis et munimento obruis, addita incisura colli. Laevum pedem si contra hostem praeposuisti, dextra ensem hispanum continens, pro visu tuo clypeum orbicularem sinistra manu tum sinistro pede adversum hostem introgreditor, atque pungere dextram axillam adversarii conator. Sin is pari modo te adgreditur, sinistrum praefigentem, dextra ensem hispanum tuo contineas, mucronem deorsum contra hostem declinaris paululum, clypeum orbicularem sinistra pro pectore tum dextro pede procedas intro, atque eundem externe dextro hostis praeponas, et ea ratione punctionem eius ex mucrone pendenti ab inferne dextrorsum repellas, statim vero in eo ipso actu manum adversarii capulo, et ensis tui munimento obrue retro ipsius hostis nodum et munimentum ensis hispani, inde acie ensis tui longa collo eius adplicata, si pro animi viribus adtraxeris capulo et nodo, colum proscindes hostis. Verum si idem is fuerit molitus, tum pedem sinistrum in latus eius dextrum colloces, atque clypeum ab inferne tollas in latus ipsius sinistrum, converso deinde ense tuo ita ut munimentum externe brachium hostis contingat, post si repuleris, te liberasti ab hostis conatu. |
||||||
[53] How to take the opponent's buckler Stand with your right foot forward and step forward left and thrust to his chest, and then cut to his head. If he does this to you, while you are standing with your right foot forward, then grip your sword with your left hand in the middle of the blade together with your buckler, step forward and parry his attack on the buckler. Then you raise your buckler and sword to parry and step forward with your left foot as fast as you can, and grab hold on the inside of the opponent's buckler with your right hand and twist it out of his hand. Then you throw it into his face, steb back and take your sword in your right hand and thrust him in the face or chest. If he does the same to you on the other hand, then raise up your left arm to protect your face and do a cross cut from below to counter his thrust. And if you instead of the above mentioned thrust from above out of a cross cut from above you will also counter his buckler throw and his thrust. |
[080r] Ratio, unde adversario clypeum extorquere poteris. Cum dextrum pedem praeposueris, et ensem hispanum dextra contines in supernae punctionis habitu, clypeum orbicularem sinistra, tum sinistro pede introgreditor, atque pectus adversarii fodias. Simul etiam caput eius ferire memineris. Idem vero si is contra te fuerit molitus dextrum praefigentem, et ensem hispanum sinistra corripuisti medium adiuncto clypeo intro progressus impetum hostilem ense et clypeo excipias. Inde iis sublatis in occursum ictui eius ingreditor quam cellerime poteris pede sinistro, atque correpto hostis clypeo interne dextra manu, e manu ipsius torqueas. Indeque in visum eius coniicias, post regressus dextra ensem tuum corripito, et visum vel pectus adversarii pungito. Verum si is eadem fuerit molitus, ut praedictum modo est, obiecto brachio in munitionem et visus tutelam sinistro, nec non ictu cruciato ab inferne formato, punctionem hostilem removeas, atque si inde ex priori sev superiori punctionem quam de superne ex ictu cruciato formas, pectus fodias tum eius conatus clypei scilicet in visum inniciendi, pariter et punctio iritantur. |
||||||
[54] The second way of taking the opponent's buckler along with a throw When you step together and both thrust at each other and both parry with the buckler, then step forward with your left foot and hold your buckler in your left hand extended toward your opponent as you thrust to his face or chest. If your opponent thrusts at you in the same manner, then grab hold of the middle of the blade with your left hand and the buckler in front of, so that the tip of the sword is pointing up, and step forward with your left foot against his thrust. If your opponent then wants to cut at you, then step in and parry with the buckler and the sword and then swiftly grab hold of the inside if his buckler and twist it out of his hand. Then step back with the other foot and throw the buckler in his face. Then grab hold of your own sword with your right hand and then step in with your right foot and thrust hin in the face or chest. If your opponent does the same to you, and you have stepped back holding up your left arm to protect your face, you will parry his attack. If he then continues to thrust to your face or chest, then step back and cut cross cuts and double thrusts at him, and you will parry all his attacks. |
[080v] Secunda ratio extorquendi clypei, addita ratione sternendi hostis. Cum utrique ad invicem pervenistis usi mutuis punctionibus, vel alter alterius vim clypeo orbiculari removistis, tum vero sinistrum pedem praeposuisti, sinistra manu clypeum porrectim contra hostem porrigis, atque eius pectus vel visum pungis. Sin autem adversarius pungere te eodem modo conetur, tu item medium ensem clypeumque coniunctim contines pro te sinistra, ita ut mucro sursum vergat, tum sinistro introprogreditor obviam ipsius punctioni, atque eam vim clypeo simul et ense tuo hispano sinistra repellas. Sed si adversarius caput tuum feriundo adpetierit, tunc quantum poteris inde adversus eum procedas atque ictum eundem clypeo et ense hispano excipias sinistra manu, et celerrime extra clypeum eius interne corripias, eque manus ipsius extorqueas, inde pede altero reducto scilicet dextro, nec non visum hostis reicias, post arrepto ense dextra manu, atque rursum dextro ad hostem progressus visum vel pectus adversarii pungito. Sin vero is eadem contra te usurparit, dextro relato pede, atque brachio sinistro in visus tutelam proiecto, impetum hostilem ea ratione repellas licebit. Inde si hostis ad te intro concedat in habitu punctionis quam in pectus vel visum tuum direxit, celeriter tum retrocedas, atque si cruciato vel ictu gemino punctionem hostilem reieceris, omnis eius conatur exinanitur. |

[55] An armlock Step forward with your left foot, holding your sword with the point directed at the opponent on your right side and your buckler in front of your left breast. Then step forward with your right foot and thrust to your opponent's face or chest. If your opponent attacks you in this manner, and you are standing with your right foot forward, then parry his thrust on your buckler, and step forward with your left foot on the inside of his right and cut him in the head. If your opponent tries to cut you in this manner, then hold your buckler in front of your face to parry and cut him swiftly in his face. Should he do this, then remove his cut and step close to him. Lift your buckler and move your left arm over the outside of his right arm and around, så that his right hand that he is holding his sword with ends up behind your armpit. Fasten the buckler you are holding in your left hand firmly under his right arm and put your left leg on the outside of the back of his right knee, turn you your left, and you will throw him backwards. If this were to happen to you, in that case, make sure to parry his cuts and thrusts with your buckler. |
[081r] Superiniectio brachiorum. Sinistrum pede praefigas, ensem hispanum dextra contineas, recta contra hostem mucro sit directus iuxta latus dextrum tuum, et pro pectore clypeum sinistar, inde dextro pede intro procedas, nec non pectus vel visum adversarii fodias. Verum si is pari artione te fuerit adtressus, dextrum pedem praeponentem, tum punctionem hostilem clypeo tuo removeto, inde sinistro pede ad ipsum concedas, eumdemque interne, eius dextro praeponas, et caput hostis ferias. Sin autem is caupt tuum ferire fuerit conatus, tum pro facie tua eum impetum clypeo excipias, atque vucussum et ti visum ipsius ferias. Idem vero si is faciat, tum clypeum tuum eius ictui obiicias, inde si prope ad ipsum accesseris, sublato clypeo orbiculari, superiniicias brachium tuum sinistrum externum, hostis dextro interne pariter adiuncto clypeo orbiculari tuo post eius brachium sub axillam tuam sinistram inducas ea ratione ut ipsius manus qua ensem continet retro axillam tuam sit constituta, deinde manu sinistra, qua clypeum tenes, ab inferne brachio ipsius interne arrepto firmiter, inde sinistrum hostis dextro poploti xterne postponas, et si ea ratione ipsum circumegeris sinistrorsum, per pedem sinistrum tuum hostem prosternes supinum. Sin autem tu fueris in ipso casu, tum diligenter cures it ipsius punctione vel ictum clypeo tuo orbiculari excipias. |
||||||
[56] A throw with the sword Put your right foot forward and thrust from above with the sword in your right hand and hold your buckler with the left arm outstretched by the sword pointing at your opponent. Then step forward with your left foot and thrust from below a half thrust to your opponent's belly or chest. If your opponent comes att you in this manner, then step forward with your right foot and parry the thrust with your buckler. Should he parry your thrust thus, then without hesitation, cut a thwart cut to his head. If your opponent does this, then put together both hands holding the sword and the buckler and parry the strike this way. Then you step in quickly and move your left arm over his right behind his sword and hold firmly, as you thrust him in the chest. However, if your opponent has taken hold of you in said manner and tries to thrust you in the chest, then parry with the buckler. Should your opponent parry with the buckler then, step with your left foot as fast as you can behind the back of his right knee as you take a firm hold of your opponent's right armpit with the left arm. If you then push away from you and upward, your opponent will fall backwards and lose his sword. If this were to happen to you, then kick him in the groin with the other foot and parry with your buckler his cuts and thrusts or whatever he were to do to you. |
[081v] Habitus prosternendi per ensem hispanum. Si dextrum pedem praefixeris, dextra manu ensem hispanum in punctionis supernae forma habens, sinistra clypeum orbicularem, brachium recta porrexeris iuxta strictum ensem adversus hostem, tum intro procedas pede sinistro, et eo habitu ab inferne ex media punctione ventrem adversarii vel pectus haurias. Verum si is te pari mdo adgreditur dextrum pedem si praefixeris, clypeo orbiculari tuo eum impetum infringes. Verum si is tuam punctionem itidem disiecerit, tum remota omni mora, cruciato ictu caput eius ferias. Idem si hostis fecerit, utraque manum clyoeum ensemque quibus contines, coniungas uctusque hostiles eodem modo excipias. Inde celeriter ad ipsum procedas intro ad hostem, et brachium sinistrum superiniicias ipsius dextro retro ensem ipsius hispanum firmiterque teneas, atque inde superne pectus adversarii pungas. Sed si is te consimili modo adpraehnenderit, pectusque tuum pungere conetur, tum clypeo orbiculari tuo eam punctionem excipias. Et si hostis eodem modo tuam punctionem infregerit, tu celerrime quantum poteris pedem sinistrum, ipsius popliti dextro externe postponas, atque firmiter brachio laevo, hostis dextru sub axilla tua contineas. Inde si superne repuleris, supinus per pedem tuum hostis ruet, enseque privatur. Sin vero tu ita concidis tum in ipso casu curato ut pubem ipsius impetas altero pede, nec non ut diligenti cura punctiones et ictus hostiles clypeo excipias, alias pro suo arbitrio tecum agere poterit. |

[1] A parry against a death strike with the poleaxe Step forward with your right foot towards your opponent and hold your poleaxe over your hed with both hands and the point directed at the opponent. If he is standing with his left foot forward and is about to strike you with a death strike, then parry his attack to your left. Then you pull back your ase and thrust him in the groin. If your opponent does this on the other hand, you parry with the back end, and step forward with your right foot and strike him in the head with the axe blade. If he parries with the shaft between his hands you turn in the back end between his arms into his face. If he does this, then step back with your right foot and parry with the shaft between your arms. If he parries, you strike again to his upper opening. If your opponent strikes at you in the same manner, you parry with the shaft. Then, if you pull you your right you will thrust him win the face with the point. Then you change through with the axe and step back. |

[2] A death strike against a thrust to the chest This device is executed thus. Stand with both legs straight and hold the shaft of your axe with both hands and the left hand raised behind your head. Then you step forward with your right foot and strike your opponent in the head with the blade of the axe. If your opponent comes at you like this, and you are standing with your left foot forward, holding the axe with your right hand at head hight and the left hand on the lower end pointing to the opponent, then parry with the shaft to your right. Then you thrust him in the chest with the front point. If he would do the same, then parry his thrust on the shaft between your hands to your left, and thrust him with the front point over his left hand and into his chest, and pull towards you hard. When you have done this, you may change through and move back. |

[3] Two turn-ins/break-ins with the poleaxe In this device you do thus: step forward with your right foot and hold your poleaxe in good defence turned toward the opponent. Then you step forward with your left foot and strike a death strike to his head with the axe. If your opponent comes at you in the same manner, and you are holding the poleaxe in both hands then grab the upper end of the shaft with your right and the lower with the left, step forward with your right foot and remove his strike to the left with the shaft. Then you step forward with your left foot and direct the back end over both arms, switch grips, and pull your opponent's right hand toward you (above) with the axe blade, and below, with his left hand with your left arm. If your opponent were to do this, then let go with your right hand, grab his left shoulder and push him away from you. Should he do this on the other hand, then you step back with your left foot and direct a thrust with the front point into his chest, and step back from him in good defense. |

[4] A twisting in and a pull In this device you do thus: step forward with your right foot and hold your poleaxe in good defence turned toward the opponent. Then you step forward with your left foot and strike a death strike to his head with the axe. If your opponent comes at you in the same manner, and you are holding the poleaxe in both hands then grab the upper end of the shaft with your right and the lower with the left, step forward with your right foot and remove his strike to the left with the shaft. Then you step forward with your left foot and direct the back end over both arms, switch grips, and pull your opponent's right hand toward you (above) with the axe blade, and below, with his left hand with your left arm. If your opponent were to do this, then let go with your right hand, grab his left shoulder and push him away from you. Should he do this on the other hand, then you step back with your left foot and direct a thrust with the front point into his chest, and step back from him in good defense. |

[5] A thrust to the groin against a turning in this device is performed thus: stand with the left foot forward and hold the axe raised over in front of your face with the right hand on the middle of the shaft and the left on the back end. Then, step forward with the right foot and thrust your opponent in the groin. If he does this to you, and you are standing with your right foot forward, holding your axe before your face with both hands, right hand on the back end and the left by the blade, then parry to your left with the back end and strike hom in the head with the blade. If he parries on the shaft between his hands, you thrust the back end into his face between his both arms. Should he parry this as well, you step back with your left foot and strike him in the right arm with the blade. Then you step away from him while turning the axe around. |

[6] Two pulls followed by a throw If you want to be the victor in this device, do as follows: stand with your right foot forward and raise the axe up in front of your face on your left side, and holding the right hand on the back end and the left on the middle of the blade. Then you step forward with your left foot and strike him in the head with the blade. Should he parry between his hands on the shaft, then move down your front end as well as the blade into the back of his right knee, and pull toward you. If he should do this, however, then put your axe blade around his neck, and pull toward you, that way he cannot hurt you. If your opponent pulls you toward him in the same manner, then take a triangle step and parry his strike between both hands on your shaft, and push up, that way you will weaken him above. Then, let go of the axe with your left hand and grab hold of his right leg and lift it up, and you will throw him backwards. |

[7] A breaking in with the axe When you enter before your opponent, then stand straight with your feet together holding your axe raised up with both hands before your face. Step forward with your left foot and strike him in the head with the blade of your axe. If he were to do this to you, then strike against his strike and parry this way. Then you move in the lower end over his right arm and press your opponent's axe and yours together with your right hand. Then, turn to your right and you will pull his axe rather painfully out of his hands. If he breaks in in the same way and wants to take your axe from you, then leg him do so, and grab hold on the outside of his right armpit with your left hand, and push him away forcefully as you grab hold of the axe with the right hand again and step back. Then strike a death strike to his head with the blade. |

[8] A death strike against a pull Excute this device as follows: step forward with your right foot and hold the axe with both hands on the shaft and strike a death strike to his head with the blade. If he comes at you like this, and you are standing with your left foot forward, then turn the front end in between his arms and put the axe on the right side of his neck, and thus you may parry his strike with the back end. Then you pull the opponent toward you with the axe blade. If your opponent does this, on the other hand, then switch hands from below with the right hand on the outside of the axe and this way you press the opponent's axe down and cut him in the left side of his neck with the axe blade. If he uses the same technique, then parry his strike you your right and thrust him in the face with the front end, and move away from him. |

[9] A strike from above against a thrust When stepping toward each other, stand with your left foot forward and hold your axe raised before your face with both hands. Then step forward with your right foot and strike your opponent in the head with the axe blade. If your opponent comes at you thus, and you are standing with your left foot forward, holding the axe with the left hand on the front end facing the opponent, and the right hand the back end, then parry his strike between your hands on the shaft, and thrust him in the neck with your front end. If your opponent does this, then remove his thrust with the front end to your right, and thrust him over his left arm into his face. If he does this, then parry with the axe blade, step forward with the right foot and thrust him in the chest with the front end between his arms, and move away from him while turning the axe around.

[12] A thrust to the chest against a middle strike When stepping together, you and your opponent, then do as follows: step toward your opponent with your left foot, and hold your axe with the left hand on the blade facing the opponent, and the right hand on the back end by your head. Then continue forward with your right foot and thrust your opponent in the chest with the front end. If he attacks you thus, and you are standing with your right foot forward, holding the axe with both hands by your left side, then raise the back end, and parry his thrust to your left. Then you step forward with your left foot and strike a middle strike to his right side with your blade. If he does this, you parry with the shaft. Then, press down his axe with your axe blade to your left and thrust him in the chest. If he parries on the shaft between his hands, then strike him with the axe blade in the head, and move away from him. |

[13] A parry against a strike to the leg When engaging your opponent, stand with both feet together, while holding your axe raised over your head with both hands. From this position, step forward with your left foot and direct a strike with the blade from above at your opponent's forward leg. If you are standing with your left foot forward, and he is striking at your leg, then lower your axe and put it in front of your left leg with the front end on the ground, and parry his strike thus. Then you raise the axe, step forward with your right foot, and thrust him in the neck with the front end. If he parries with the blade on his right side, then change through below with the point, and thrust him in the left side. If he tries to do this, then parry with the axe blade to your left, step forward with your right foot and thrust with both points to his face and chest. Then you strike him in the head with the axe blade and step away from him. |

[1] A thrust against a parry In this device you step forward with your left foot and hold your spear and the shield together in your left hand and the sword in the right, and from there you thrust at your opponent's throat with the spearpoint. If he does this, on the other hand, and you, just as him, are standing with your left foot forward, with the shield and sword in your left hand and the spear in your right, you parry his thrust with the pommel of your sword, and then you thrust at his face with your spear. If he attacks you with a thrust in the same manner, you raise the shield and parry thus. But if he parries with his shield, you direct your thrust into his visor. Furthermore, should he do the same thing, you parry his attack to your right with your shield, drop your spear, step forward with your right foot, grab the sword with your right hand, and strike him in his right elbow and step away from him. |

[2] A thrust to the groin against a parry with the shield Perform this device thus: step with your left foot forward and hold the spear with both hands on your right side and thrust the opponent in the crotch. If he attacks you below thus, while you are standing with your right foot forward, holding sword and shield together in your left hand and the spear in your right hand in front of your face with the back end in the ground, and remove his thrust to your left with the shield. Then, step forward with your left foot and thrust your opponent in the armpit with the spear. If he should thrust at you in the same manner, then step back with the left foot and parry with the shield, step forward again with your left foot and thrust him in the visor with the point of your spear. If he parries with the back end of his spear, then you change through with your spear from his and thrust him with your spearpoint in the groin. |

[3] A double thrust to the face Perform this device thus: step forward with the right foot and hold the middle of the sword with your right hand, and the spear raised over your head in your left hand, and turn in a thrust with the spear toward his visor. If he uses the same technique against you, and you are standing with your left foot forward, left hand on the middle of the sword and the spear in your right hand raised behind your head , then lift the sword and beat his thrus away with the hilt to your right, and thrust your own spearpoint into his visor.

[14] Two set-ons from the middle of the spear Thus you perform this device: step forward with your left foot and hold your sword and spear together with both hands and thrust to your opponent's groin with your spear point. Of he attacks you below in this manner, and you are also standing with your left foot forward, holding your spear in both hands on your right side, then parry his thrust on the shield, throw it and thrust him in the throat with your spear point. If he thrusts at you in the same way, and you have thrown away your shield as well, then step back with your left foot and remove his thrust with the front end of your spear. Then you step forward again with your left foot and aim a thrust at his visor. If he attacks you in the same manner, then parry with your spear, drop it, step back with your left foot and draw your sword, grab it with both hands and step forward with your left foot and thrust him in the neck with the tip. If he parries this as well, then grab hold with both hands on the middle of the blade and strike him in the head with cross and pommel, and then you step away from him. |

[1] A fight where the foot soldier has a pike and the rider a lance. If it were to happen that a mounted opponent rides toward you in order to harm you, then put the back end of the pike in the ground and point the front end toward the opponent. Above all, make sure to be able to use the pike on both sides, so that if your mounted opponent comes at you wielding a lance you can defend yourself against him on both sides. When he engages you, you strike away his lance from your right to your left side. If he continues forward you direct you pike into his face, and he will throw himself off the saddle. Then you can draw your rapier and do whatever you wish to him. |
[167v168r] Certamen peditis lancea utens cum equite hasta equestri utente. Si quando evenerit, ut eques cursu te urgeat equestri, atque te laedere conetur, tum lanceae mucronem posteriorem terrae infigas, anteriorem vero contra hostem porrigas. In primis autem diligenter curabis, ut lancea utrinque commode uti possis, ut si adversarius equo insidens contra te invehitur, cursu citato, hastam equestrem usurpans, ex utroque latere eum repellas. Et si te adgreditur, eius hastam de latere tuo dextro versus equitis sinistrum, lancea tua excutias. Si igitur is te porro is te porro urserit, tuque lanceam tuam in faciem ipsius subinde direxeris, futurum est, ut ipse semetipsum deiicias, et inde ense Hispano agere contra hostem poteris quodcumque libuerit. |
||||||||
[2] How a rider is to evade the pike of a foot-soldier. This is what you do against the rider: Step forward with your left foot and hold the pike with both hands on your right side, with the point toward the opponent, and from here you continue forward with your right foot and turn the point into his face. If you, being the rider, see the opponent doing this to you, then fasten the reins in the hook by the belt, and remove the lance from the arret and hold it across(before you) with both hands, and remove the opponent's thrust thus between both your hands to your left, and then you insert the lance again into the arret, i.e. the lance rest, a hook being there to prevent the lance from going backwards under your arm, and then you engage your opponent at full speed and run him down. |
[169v170r] Ratio qua eques peditis lanceam avertere potest. Hoc modo contra equitem componas: sinistrum pedem praeponere memineris, lanceam utraque manu ex latere dextro contineas, cuspidem contra hostem, inde ex ista corporis compositione dextro subsequutus, cuspidem porrectim contra ipsius visum retorqueas. Verum si tu idem fieri a pedite animadverteris, tuque sis eques, tum frenum quo equus regitur hamo inferiori thorace infixo paulo supra cingulum iniicias, post hastam equestrem ex hamo superiori remotam, et manu utraque correptam transversim teneas, eaque ratione intra manum utramque vim eius repellas in latus tuum sinistrum, atque inde sursum hastam equestrem iuxta retinaculum per quod hasta impeditur ne sub axilla transvehatur retrorsum, superiori hamo iniicias, atque impetuose cursu citato si hosti occursaris supinum eum consternes contorquendo hastam in hostem. |
||||||||
[3] A free thrust with the pike against a rider with a lance. This is how you use the pike in this device: If you see the rider coming at you, and you are on foot, then stand with your left foot forward and hold the pike with the left hand by the chest in free position, and with the right hand on the back end, point toward the opponent. If he then attacks you with his lance, then turn the pike from your left side to his right so that you remove his lance. Then you take a step forward with the right foot and thrust forcefully with the pike into his face. Then, make sure that the back end of the pike is in the ground for good defence, so that the rider cannot hurt you in any way. |
[171v172r] Habitus impulsus liberi ex lancea, contra equitem hasta martia utentem. Lancea in hac dimicatione hac ratione utitor: si animadverteris equitem contra te cursum flectere tuque pedes constiteris sinistrum pedem praeponito, atque lanceam iuxta pectus sinistra contineto in statu libero, dextram vero mucroni posteriori adplicato, anteriorem versus hostem dirigito, et si contigerit ut contra te incitet vibrata equestri hasta, tum deflectes lanceam convertendo de latere tuo sinistro in hostis latus dextrum, eo itaque modo ipsius hastam removeas. Inde autem subsequutus pede dextro, buculam eius totis viribus impugnes lanceae impulsu. Inde autem curabis ut lanceae mucro posterior terrae infixus sit in tui bona defensione hasta constituta, ne te laedere ulla ratione queat eques. |
||||||||
[4] A battle device where the rider is using a sword and lance at the same time against a footman with a pike. This is how you defend yourself with your pike against an attacking rider: Step forward with your left foot and hold your pike with the point aimed toward the opponent for a thrust. If your opponent on foot does this towards you, you spur your horse toward him and touch his lance by the front part, and remove his thrust to your right, and simultaneously as you parry, you turn the horse toward the opponent, and put his pike into your right armpit, drop the lance out of the lance rest, spur the horse toward the opponent, draw your sword and run him through with it. |
[172v] Ratio certaminis, ubi eques ense utitur, simul etiam hasta contra peditem lanceam usurpantem. Contra equitem tibi infestum lancea tua hoc modo te defendas: contra eum sinistrum pedem praeponas, lanceam ex latere dextro directam teneas, contra hostem mucronem anteriorem porrectum in habitu punctionis. Sin autem contra peditem lancea praedicta ratione utentem, equum tu incites, tum hasta equestri eius lanceae contingas ex primo congressu partem anteriorem, atque eius impetum inde avertas in latus tuum, verum in ipso aversionis habitu propius ad hostem equum convertas, ipsiusque lanceam sub axillam tuam dextram subiungas, inde autem ex hamo superiori reiicias equestrem hastam, citato cursu si occursaris militi, nec non ense educto, corpus eius eodem transverberes. |
||||||||
[5] A fight where the footman uses halberd against a rider with lance. If you wish to obtain the victory in this device, you must do as follows: If a rider rides at you with his lance, you step forward with your left foot and hold the halberd with the axe head toward him, and if he attacks with his lance, you hook the lance with your halberd and raise it, and you have averted his thrust. Then you thrust with the point into his face as hard as you can. If a footman does this to you, being the rider, and you cannot use your lance, you throw it out of your lance rest and turn the horse to the left, draw your sword and strike at his halberd, and you have parried his attack thus. Then you spur your horse toward him and run him through with the sword. |
[173r] Dimicatio peditis bipenne utentis contra equitem hastam equestrem exercentem. Quum victoria ex ea dimicatione ferre volueris, ea ratione quae iam sequitur te accommodato: si eques tibi occurrat equestrem hastam exercens, sinistrum pedem praeponito, atque bipennis laminam hosti obiectam contineas, tum si eques tecum inire certamen conetur hasta equestri utens, correptam ipsius hastam bipenni tua, sursum tollas et eo modo impetum ipsius removeris. Inde autem quantum poteris, visum ipsius mucrone bipennis impetas tuae, verum si idem tibi equiti acciderit a pedite, nec uti equestri hasta poteris, eam ex hamo superiori reiicias, equumque in latus tuum ubi deflexeris sinistrum, ensem stringas, versumque ipsius bipennem ferias: tum remotus est hostis impetus. Inde autem contra eum citato incurras, et ense eum transverberes. |
||||||||
[6] Another device as the previous. This is how you use the halberd in this device against a horseman with a lance: If the rider comes at you with his lance, then step with your left foot forward toward the opponent's right side and strike at the front end of his lance with your halberd from your left side to his right, and you have averted his attack. If you then press down his lance, you will force the rider to fall to the ground struck backwards, and he cannot harm you anymore. If you do this, make sure to press down the lance swiftly with the halberd, so that he strikes himself off the saddle. Then you may fight against him however you want. |
[173v] Alius praecedentis modi habitus. Bipennem hac ratione in praedicta dimicatione gubernabis contra equitem equestrem hastam usurpantem. Si eques te fuerit adgressus, hasta equestri cursu citato, tum pede sinistro contra adversarii latus dextrum consistas, atque partem hastae eius anteriorem, lamina bipennis tuae ferias de latere tuo sinistro versus ipsius dextrum, ea itaque ratione hostis impetum removeris. Inde eius hastam deorsum si depresseris, ipse eques cogetur supinus equo excussus concidere, neque te laedere porro poterit. In primis autem si rite hoc habitu volueris, curabis ut equitis tecum certantis hastam tua bipenne supprimas quam celerrime poteris, ita ut excutiat seipsum. Inde autem pugnabis pro tuo arbitrio. |
||||||||
[7] Fight where the rider has a lance against an opponent on foot with a halberd. In this device you do as follows: Hold your lance over your right leg and ride towards your opponent, and put the lance in the arret. If you are on foot and standing with your left leg forward, holding your halberd for a strike from above while waiting for your opponent, and when he then gets close, you direct a strike from your left side to his right against his lance and press it down hard, and if you then step with your right foot in triangle the rider will break his lance. If he tries to draw his sword you run toward him with two steps and place the halberd head around his neck and pull to you, and you will throw him off the horse. |
[167r] Eques utens hasta trabali contra peditem bipennem utentem. Ad praedictum acessum equestrem hoc modo te adaptes licebit: si contineas hastam equestrem sursum directam supra pedem dextrum, et citato cursu peditem invadas, prius tamen hamo superiori hasta imposita. Sin autem adversus hostem tu pedes cinstiteris sinistram pedem praeponens, atque bipennem ex habitu ictus superni contra hostem tenens expectasque adversarium, tum si is propius accesserit, ex latere tuo sinistro versus ipsius dextrum, ictum bipennis regendo, hastam equitis Martiam ferias, eoque habitu deorsum supprimas fortiter, ac si pede dextro subsequutus fueris in triangulum continget ut eques hastam suam ipse urgendo disrumpat. At si ensem stringere conetur adversarius, tum gemino gradu versus eum prosilias, atque lamina tuae bipennis collum eius retrorsum ex latere ipsius dextro corripueris, nec non adtraxeris, tum de equo hostem deiicies. |
||||||||
[8] A device where the rider has a spear and the foot-soldier has a halberd. When riding toward your opponent, do as follows: Hold the spear extended over your right leg in your right hand, and when you are about to attack, you insert the spear in the arret, and ride toward him thus. If your opponent comes at you in said manner, then step forward with your left foot and hold your halberd in a strike from above, and strike his spear away from left to your right side, and you have averted his attack. Then you take two steps toward him and hook him in the left side of his neck with the head of the halberd and pull forcefully to you, and you will throw the rider off his horse. |
[168v] Habitus in quo eques utens venabulo pugnat cum pedite bipennem usurpante. Cum ad hostem equo veheris hoc modo te componas contra adversarium: venabulum supra pedem dextrum erectum dextra contineas, et inde ex ea constitutione ad militem advectus venabulum in hamum superiorem coniicias, eoque modo eum adgreditor incurrendo. Sin vero is eodem contra utitur habitu, tum sinistrum versus hostem praeponas, et bipennem in forma ictus superni contineas, atque venabulum eius ferias de latere tuo sinistro in adversarii dextrum: eoque modo impetus ipsius remotus iam est. Inde autem gemino gradu ad eum prosilias, et corripias ipsius collum ex latere sinistro bipennis lamina, fortiter si attraxeris equitem prosternes. |
||||||||
[9] A fight where the rider has a spear and the foot soldier is defending himself with a sword. Do thus: Raise the spear over your right leg with your right hand and as you spur your horse toward your opponent you insert the spear into the arret, and aim for his visor(!). If the rider comes at you in this manner, and you have neither pike nor halberd to protect yourself with, only the sword, then draw it and hold it up in front of your face, and move his sword upward with the cross in this manner, than you have defended yourself against his thrust. Then you raise the sword over your head, step in triangle and cut the horse's sinews so that it falls to the ground and you may do whatever you wish with the opponent. |
[169r] Certamen equitis venabulo utentis con[tra] peditem ensem se defendentem. Hac ratione te accommodato: venabulum supra pedem dextru erectum tollas dextra manu, atque inde contra hostem incites equum iniecto venabulo in hamum supernum, adpetasque ipsius buculam. Id autem si contra te constituatur neque bipennem neque lanceam habentem, sed tantum te ense defendentem, eo educto ultra faciem tuam tollas, atque ensis cruce eo habitu venabulum equitis sursum urgeas, et impetum ipsius removeris. Post autem levato ense supra caput, in triangulum concedas, nec non equi adversarii nervos pedum posteriorum incidas, eo igitur negocio confecto equus procidet, et conari contra hostem poteris quodcumque placebit. |
||||||||
[10] A skirmish where the rider is using a sword against a foot-soldier armed with rapier and buckler. In this engagement with an enemy on foot you do as follows: If you see the foot soldier coming against you, then ride toward him in full speed and drawn sword, and when you get close to him you strike him in the head from your right side to his left. If the rider comes at you in this manner, then step forward with your left foot and draw your rapier, and hold up the buckler in front of your face with your left hand and remove his strike thus. Then you thrust with your rapier into the chest of the horse, and you will fell it, and you may do whatever you wish with the opponent. |
[170v] Dimicatio equitis gladio utentis con[tra] peditem ense hispano & clypeo orbiculari utentem. In hoc concursu contra peditem ea ratione compones te: si animadvertes peditem contra te invehi, citato cursu contra incurras stricto ense, atque si prope hostem adeo constiteris, caput eius ferias ictu ex latere duo dextro versus hostis sinistrum converso. Sed si is equo contra te fertur pari ratione, tum sinistrum praepones pedem, atque dextra ense hispano educto celeriter nec non orbiculari scuto pro facie elevato sinistra manu, eius ictum removeas. Inde autem ense hispano pectus equi si transverberaris, concidet anhelans, et tu hostem adgredi poteris pro tuo arbitrio. |
||||||||
[11] A fight where the foot soldier is wielding a rapier and buckler, and the rider has a sword. This is how you perform this device with rapier and buckler: When the rider comes at you, you step forward with your left foot and quickly draw your rapier with your right hand and grab the buckler with your left for defence, and if the opponent is armed with a sword and strikes at you with it, then raise the buckler with the left hand and remove his strike thus. Then you strike the horse over both its shins, and you will fell it to the ground. Then you can fight however you wish against your opponent. |
[171r] Certamen peditis ense hispano ventis et clypeo con[tra] equite[m] gladium usurpa[n]tem. Ensem hispanum in praedicto certamine hoc pacto exerceto adiuncto clypeo orbiculari: si tecum eques pugnaturus sit, sinistrum pedem praeponas, educto gladio hispano celeriter dextra, arrepto sinistra scuto in tuta tui defensione, et si contigerit, ut eques adversum te invehatur gladio utens, caputque tuum adpetens, tum sublato clypeo sinistra, adversarii ictum repellito, inde autem ense hispano ferias equi talos pedis utrisque, et eo ictu equus corruet. Postea vero ad placitum certabis cum hoste. |
||||||||
[12] A way for the footman to throw the rider off the saddle. If you are mounted and you see your opponent footman using rapier, then draw your sword as well, and ride toward him and strike toward his head. If your opponent does this very thing, you lift up your rapier and remove his strike to the left with the long edge. Then you step forward as fast a you can with to his right side, and grab hold with your left hand in his right hand and push him away in this manner, and thus he will not be able to fight against you. Then you pierce his neck with your rapier as hard as you can, and in this manner the horseman will fall. |
[174r] Ratio unde pedes equitem sternere queat. Cum tu sis eques nec non peditem contra te euntem te conspexeris ense hispano utentem, tum et tu ensem stringas, et si versus eum invectus equo fueris, caput eius adpetas. Sin autem is pari ratione te adgrediatur, atque superne te appetere conetur, sublato ense hispano impetum hostis, acie ensis longa in latus tuum sinistrum removeas. Inde autem contra eum quam celerrime poteris prosilias, in dextrum ipsius latus atque sinistra manu adversarii dextram corripias, eoque habitu si eum removeris, nequicquam tecum certare poterit hostis. Inde autem totis viribus ense hispano collum transfigas hostis, et ea ratione eques ruet. |
||||||||
[13] Yet another way of throwing the rider to the ground. If you are on horse, and you see the footman has armed himself with rapier and buckler, then spur your horse and ride swiftly toward him with sword drawn and the point aimed toward the opponent's face or chest. If you see your opponent ride at you in this manner, then remove his thrust with the long edge to your left and drop both rapier and buckler and run toward the opponent, grab hold with the left hand on the outside of his right arm, and the inside of his elbow, and pull down, and at the same time you grab hold with your right hand in the left side of his neck, and you will throw him to the ground without risk of injury. |
[174v] Alia forma deiiciendi equitis. Si equo insideas, atque peditem contra te conspexeris certaturum ense hispano, nec non scuto orbiculari assultus tuos removentem equo subdas calcar, et contra ipsum invehitor stricto celeriter ense mucrone in faciem hostis vel pectus converso. Sed si adversarius tibi pari ratione occursarit, tum vim ipsius repellas acie longa praemissa versus latus sinistrum. Inde autem ad hostem insilias abiectis ense hispano et orbiculari clypeo, et manu sinistra directa supra brachium hostis dextrum exterius, eius cubitum interius corripias, et si deorsum traxeris, nec non dextra ex latere eius sinistro collum circundederis, hostem deiicere quibis citra corporis tui detrimentum. |
||||||||
[14] Another way of throwing the horseman. This is how you perform this device: If the rider comes at you, then stand with your right foot forward and draw your rapier quickly. If he then draws his sword and is wishes to run you through with his point, then move your rapier up to his sword and remove his attack on his right side. Then make sure to get close to the opponent, and grab hold below in his right leg, and raise it up to his left side. And thrust him in the face with the rapier and he must wall to the ground. |
[175r] Alia effigies sternendi equitem. In habitum modo commemoratum sic te accommodabis: si eques tibi occursarit, dextro pede contra eum consistas, et ensem hispanum celeriter stringere memineris, et si eveniat, ut et ipse gladium suum eduxerit, atque te mucrone adpetat cursu citato, tunc ense tuo hispano ipsius gladio obiecto, in dextrum hostis latus impetum eum repellas. Inde vero prope adversarium ut consistas curabis, et sinistra manu pedem eius dextrum inferne correptum, versus latus eius sinistrum subleves. Post si ense hispano faciem ipsius pupugeris, necesse est ut concidat. |
||||||||
[15] First engagement against guard in battle. When you are on horseback, then do as follows in this device: Hold the lance in your right hand in the handle raised over the right leg by the saddle bow, and the point upward, and hold the reins with the left hand. Then you spur the horse and insert the lance into the lance rest and aim for the opponent's[122] chest. If your opponent rides at you in this manner, and you are without armour, holding a warhammer or cudgel in your right hand and the reins in the left, then ride toward him so that your right side gets to his right. Then you raise the right arm and remove the opponent's lance from your right side to his left, and in this manner you will avert his attack. If you then continue forward you will be safe from harm. |
[175v] Prima praeparatio equitis contra custodiam in dimicatione. Quum equo insideas, in hoc certamine ita te adaptes necesse erit: hastam martiam dextra iuxta retinaculum in manubrio sublatam contineas supra pedem dextrum prope ephippium, cuspis hastae sursum vergat, sinistra vero frenum arripias. Inde equo subdas calcar, verum in ipso cursu hastam hamo superiori iniicias, cuspidem deorsum contra peditis pectus demissa. Sin autem adversarius contra te pari modo invehitur, et tu nudus sis, manuque dextra caestum teneas, vel fustem, sinistra autem frenum tum obviam illi procedito cursu citato, ita tamen ut latus tuum dextrum dextro itidem hostis lateri iungatur. Post sublato brachio dextro cuspidem hastae ipsius de latere dextro tuo versus hostis sinistrum fuste quassato, et eo pacto impetum hostilem removebis. Inde si citato cursu fueris longius progressus, et ab omni periculo redimes. |
||||||||
[16] Second engagement against guard in battle. This is how you perform this device: Hold the lance straight up over the right leg in the saddle with the point upward in your right on the handle, or the hilt, if you wish, i.e. where you hold the lance best, and with your reins in the left hand. Then you spur the horse on and insert the lance into the lance rest and aim with the point to the opponent's chest. If your opponent comes at you in this way, and you are holding a warhammer in your right hand and the reins in your left, then ride toward your opponent and strike away his lance thrust from your right side to your opponent's left, thus you have averted his attack. Then you ride away from your opponent on his right side. |
[176r] Secundus praecedentis habitus modi. Ad eum habitum ea ratione te accommodes necesse erit: hastam sellae imposita erectam contineas supra pedem dextrum, cuspide sursum vergente, dextra retinaculo admota seu manubrio ut vocant, ubi hasta commode et equitum more teneri potest, sinistra frenum teneat, ex ea igitur praeparatione equo calcar subdas, sed in ipso cursu hamo superiori hastam equestrem iniicias inclinata cuspide versus hostis pectus, atque latus ipsius dextrum pectoris eadem saucies. Sin vero idem tibi ab adversario contigerit, et tu fustem dextra contineas sinistra vero frenum, obviabis hosti, atque impetum eius excutias caestu de latere dextro in latus adversarii sinistrum, eo modo remoraberis cursum hostilem. Inde autem recta a latere ipsius dextro progreditor. |
||||||||
[17] Engagement with a lance against sword.[123] Make sure in the very beginning to insert the lance into the lance rest, and when you ride toward him, you lower the point. Then you raise the point quickly again and turn it into his face or chest. If your opponent comes at you this, you ride at him as well and hold the sword in your right hand over the right leg in the saddle and the reins in your left hand, and move the sword to the front end of his lance and move it to the right, and you have averted his attack. Then you continue forward to his right side and lift up his lance with the cross on your sword high over his shoulder and strike the pommel into his visor. When you have done this, you continue forward past his right side. |
[176v] Usus hastae equestris contra hostem gladio utentem. Ab initio statim curabis ut hastam in hamum supernum coniicias, atque contra eum incurras equo insidens proclinata deorsum equestris hastae cuspide. Inde autem ea rursum levata celeriter, cuspidem in faciem seu pectus adversarii contorqueas. Verum si pari ratione contra te invehatur hostis tum obviam cursu citato ei procedas, et ensem contineas supra pedem dextrum in sella equestri dextra manu, frenum sinistra, post ensem hastae adversarii ex parte anteriori si admoveris versus latus tuum sinistrum impetus ipsius iam repulsus est. Inde accedas propius ad latus adversarii dextrum ensisque cruce hastam eius tollas sursum ultra humerum, et nodum in eius buculam impellas. Id si perfeceris iuxta latus eius dextrum prope progreditor. |
||||||||
[18] An upper winding in with the sword over his lance.[124] When you have inserted the lance into the lance rest, you ride toward the opponent and aim the point to his chest. If your opponent comes at you in this manner, and you are without armour, holding your sword before your chest in your right hand, and the reins in your left, then ride toward him and remove his lance thrust to your right. Then you reach over his lance with your right arm so that you hold it under the arm, and make sure to put the sword underneath so that the cross lies against the underside of the lance. If you then continue forward, you will strike the opponent's lance out of the lance rest with your sword in your left side. |
[177r] Alia aversio per ensem contra hastam equestrem. Ad eum concursum hac ratione te componas, si in hamum supernum hastam conieceris, totis viribus cursu citato hastam in pectus adversarii contorqueto. Sed si is idem contra te usurparit, ensem dextra in capulo continentem pro pectore, mucro in altum vergat, tum hoste obviato, et punctionem repellas eius, ense hostili hastae admoto de tuo latere sinistro versus dextrum, et inde cursum flectas contra eum propius accedendo, ipsiusque hastam eo habitu sub axilla dextra tua comprehendas, et nodum ensis in buculam hostilem contorqueas. Idem vero si vicissim conetur adversarius, eiecta hasta ex hamo superno dextra hostis itidem dextram anterius corripias, atque ea ratione impetus eius irritus fiet. Inde autem recta si fueris iuxta eum ex latere ipsius dextro progressus deiicere equitem poteris. |
||||||||
[19] Parry by the shield on the sword. If your opponent comes at you on horse with his lance in the lance rest, then draw your sword and hold it before you with the point upward, and ride forward with your arm raised and as you ride forward you lower the point down on your left side. Then, when his lance gets close to you, you turn the hand so that the long edge faces up, and the short edge lies against the inside of the opponent's lance, and quickly deflect the lance with the cross to your left, and you have averted your opponent's thrust. Then make sure to pull up the sword again and thrust with the point, or hit him with the pommel in the face. |
[177v] Aversio per ensem. Si adversarius equo insidens contra te invehitur, hasta hamo iniecta tu autem ante te ensem strictum contines, mucrone sursum vergente tum brachio sublato contra ipsum et tu incurras, verum i ipso cursu ensis mucronem in latus sinistrum demittas deorsum. Post si ipsius hasta trabalis tibi proxima fuerit, manu tua conversa eo modo ut acies longa superior sit, brevis vero acies interne hastae adversarii iungatur, mora omni remota munimento ensis hastam ipsius sinistrorsum removeas, atque ea ratione vim hostilem repulisti. Deinde autem reassumpto gladio curabis, ut vel mucrone vel nodo visum hostis laedas. |
||||||||
[20] Another defence with sword against lance. In this device you do as follows: Insert the lance into the lance rest and turn the lance into his chest as hard as you can. If he does this to you, and you are holding the word in your right hand with the hilt before your chest and the point upward, then ride against your opponent and remove his thrust with the long edge of your sword from your left to your right side, and when you ride closer to him, you move the lance in under your right arm and your sword under it, and then you strike your pommel into his visor. If your opponent tries to do the same, you throw the lance out of the lance rest and grab hold with your right hand in his right and remove his attack thus. If you then continue forward you will throw him off the saddle. |
[178r] Habitus unde brachium dextrum superiniicere hastae adversarii licebit, qui dici potest superna intorsio. Quum in hamum supernum hastam conieceris, mucrone pectus adversarii citato cursu impetas. At si is pari modo te adgressus fuerit, nudusque appareas, nec non pro pectore ensem contineas dextra, sinistra frenum, ei obviam concurrito, et admoto ense hastae ipsius eam vim removeto versus tuum latus dextrum. Inde autem brachium tuum dextrum ipsius hostis hastae superiniicias, eoque pacto sub axilla tua retineas, ense vero inferne traducto curabis in primis ut ensis munitio seu crux hastae adversarii substet. Post progreditor cursu citato, atque hastam hostilem ex hamo superno ense tuo excutito versus latus sinistrum tuum. |
||||||||
[21] A parry with the lance on both sides. When your opponent has inserted his lance into the lance rest, then put your reins into the lower armour hook and hold the lance across before you, so that the point faces upward and the thicker end down on your right, and move your lance point to the outside of the opponent's lance on his right side, and if you then move his lance with your left side to his left, you have averted his thrust and he is forced to drop his lance. If you then ride on, and make sure to lift up the lance with both arms in the air and turn in the point into the opponent and thrust him in the face or armpit. If your opponent comes at you in this manner, then remove his thrust with the right arm on the outside, that way his thrust is in vain. |
[178v] Aversio per hastam equestrem utrinque. Imposita hamo hasta trabali adversarius contra te si invehitur, tu subito habenas hamo inferiori iniicias, et hastam transversim ea ratione arripias, ut cuspis sursum vergat, densior ver pars deorsum in latere dextro eo modo vicissim ei obviam occurras, atque eius hastam contingas externe de latere hastae hostilis dextro, mucrone hastae tuae, postea si ex latere tuo sinistro trabali hasta adversarii tui hastam removeris in latus ipsius itidem sinistrum, vis eius infirmata est, nec non relinquere hastam adversarius cogetur. Verum in ipso transitus actu curabis, ut hastam tuam utroque brachio attollas, cuspide anteversum propensa, atque visum vel axillam adversarii figas. At si is eodem modo te adgreditur dextro brachio externe eum conatum repellas in progressu, et ea ratione hostis spe sua decipietur. |
||||||||
[22] A reach-over in pursuit.[125] When you both have inserted your lances into the lance rests, and are about to ride toward each other, to attack each other, and you wish to trick your opponent with said technique, then turn your horse and pull the lance out of the lance rest, and pretend to flee, and pay attention to whether he pursues you with his lance in the lance rest. Then, when you see him coming toward you, you wait a little while until he comes close to you, move the lance over your right shoulder so that the point ends up between the opponent's horse's front legs, and bind with the outside of his lance. Then you hold the lance firmly with your right hand in the handle and lift the arm, as well as the lance, and you will have thwarted your opponent's thrust as well as tripped his horse. If you then turn from your right to left so that you again is facing your opponent, you may fight against him however you want. |
[179r] Habitus, quo ex demissa per humerum dextrum hasta trabali tua hostis equum prosternis. Quum utrique hastas equestres hamis superioribus imposuistis iam iam concursuri infestis hastis, tui qui decipere ex habitu commemorato hostem cupis, equum tuum vertas, et subito hastam eximas, simulatoque fugam te itidem convertas, observesque num hostis adhuc te persequatur hasta trabali hamo imposita. Et si videris te ab ipso urgeri, paulisoer remoraberis donec propius te accedat adversarius tum hastam retrorsum per humerum dextrum demittas ea ratione, ut cuspis pedibus hostilis equi sit interposita, et ipsius hasta, tuae exterius iungatur. Interea autem firmiter dextra hastam equestrem contineas iuxta partem eius crassiorem, seu manubrium, nec non recta brachium pariter cum hasta si extendas, punctionem hostilem repellis, simulque equum eius prosternis. Verum postea equo tuo converso de latere tuo dextro in sinistrum, ut conspectus tuus hosti rursum sit obiectus, pro arbitrio tuo cum adversario pugnare licebit. |
||||||||
[23] A changing through with both lances. This is how you perform this device: Insert the lance into the lance rest, and ride toward the opponent and thrust him in the chest. If your opponent is doing this to you, then ride toward him as well, and change through with your lance from your right side and remove his lance hard, and thrust him in the visor. If he does this however, then drop the reins with the left hand in the engagement, and remove his lance from your left to your right, and you will get away without injuries. |
[179v] Permutatio utriusque equitis hastarum. Ea ratione te ad praedictam dimicationem praeparato, iniecta hasta hamo superno, pectus hostis superne hastae equestris cuspide impugnes. Sin veri is idem contra te usurparit, tum et tu vicissim contra incurras, nec non ab hastae adversarii parte anteriori tua transmutes de latere tuo dextro in ipsius itidem dextrum, et fortiter eam removeas, buculamque eius impugnes. Verum si is pari ratione te adpetat, remota sinistra de habenis in ipso cursu, inde si hastam ipsius removeris, eadem de tuo latere sinistro versus dextrum tuum te liberaris ab omni periculo. |
||||||||
[24] Engagement with a parry with the lance handle. Put the reins in the lower armour hook, and attack your opponent with a thrust with the lance. If he does this on the other hand, and you have not had the time to insert the lance into the lance rest, before he comes charging at you, then ride in on his right side and hold the lance across before you with the point to the ground on your left side, and as you ride forward, you deflect his thrust to your right with the lance base, and then you drop the reins with the left hand and grab hold of the lance with it, lift up the lance and thrust with the point into the opponent's visor. |
[180r] Incursus unde retinaculo hastae impetus hostilis avertitur. Iniecta hasta equestri hamo, citato totis viribus hasta thoracem hostis adpetas. Sed si is eadem ratione utatur contra te et tu non dum hastam hamo imposueris ab hoste praeventus, tum et tu versus latus adversarii dextrum invehitor, et hastam ante te transversam contineas, cuspidem contra terram demissam ex latere sinistro, verum in ipso cursu hastae retinaculo impetum hostis in latus dextrum tuum removeas, post remota freno sinistra manu eam hastae tuae adplices, atque hasta equestri sublata in ipso concursu cuspide eiusdem, buculam hostis fodito. |
||||||||
[25] A surprise attack against a parry with the middle of the lance. This is how you perform this device: Insert the lance into the lance rest and charge your opponent and thrust him with the lance in the chest. If the opponent does this, and you are being taken by surprise, so that you have not had time to insert the lance into the lance rest, then ride toward his right side and hold your lance across before you with the point to the ground on your left side, and hold your reins and the lance together, and catch the opponent's thrust with the lance base to your right as you spur the horse. Then you let go of the lance with the right hand and grab hold underneath in the middle of the opponent's lance, and ride past him, and you will pull his lance out of the lance rest over his right shoulder. |
[180v] Ratio praeveniendi, contra aversionem per hastam mediam. Hoc modo te in praedicta dimicatione geras, si hamo inieceris hastam, citato cursu pro viribus contra hostem propensa cuspide equestris hastae in adversarii pectus. At si is idem contra te moliatur, tuque praeventus fueris ita, ut occasio iniiciendae hastae in hamum praecidatur, tum contra incites equum versus latus ipsius dextrum, et hastam pro te teneas transversam, cuspidem vero eiusdem ex latere sinistro deorsum appares, hastam frenumque coniunctim manu sinistra, eaque ratione vim hostilem hasta illatam (addito equo stimulo) mucrone posteriori tuae hastae repellas in latus dextrum tuum, inde dextram ab hasta removeas, eamque si mediae hastae hostili supposueris, perrexerisque cursu pleno, eam hosti ex hamo deflectes per humerum dextrum. |
||||||||
[26] A thrust with the lance handle to the opponents neck. In this fight you do as follows: When you have inserted the lance into the lance rest, then charge ahead with force to your opponent and aim a thrust to the upper part of his chest. If your opponent charges at you in this way, and you had not had the time to insert your lance into the lance rest, then ride toward him anyway, and hold the lance across the horse and as you charge at him you parry with the lance base from your left to your right as hard as you can.Thus the opponent will be forced to drop his lance. Then you put the reins in the lower hook in the belt of your armour, raise the lance over your head and grab hold of the front end of the lance with the right hand and with the left on the back end over your head and in this way turn in the lance base in his neck, and if you continue charging forward you will throw him out of the saddle. |
[181r] Ratio impellendi collum hostile per hastae partem densiorem. Hoc concursu ita te componas, cum hastam hamo inieceris, contra hostem vehementi cursu invehitor versum pectus hasta intenta superne. Sin autem is idem conatur, neque coniicere hastam in hamum tibi conceditur, etiam tu pariter contra eum cursu certabis, arrepta hasta transversim, verum in ipso cursu eius impetum retinaculo hastae excipies tuae, removendo de latere tuo sinistro versus dextrum pro viribus. Et eo habitu hostis hastam reiicere cogetur, inde autem frenum hamo inferiori iuxta cingulum thoraci infixo iniicito, sublata postea equestri hasta supra caput, dextram priorem hastae admoveto, sinistram vero posteriorem super capite, atque ex ea dispositione, molem hastae affixam vel retinaculum, seu tutelam utrum mavis eadem enim significant, in collum eius anterius si contorseris, fuerisque progressus cursu citato, adversarius ruere cogetur. |
||||||||
[27] Hand parry of the opponent's strike with the back end of his lance. Said device is performed as follows: When you have inserted the lance into the lance rest, you spur your horse and charge at your opponent, and thrust against chest. If your opponent comes at you in this manner, then ride toward him as well, and put the reins into the lower hook, and hold the lance across the horse before you, with the right hand on the handle in front(facing forward) and the left hand in the back and when charging you parry his thrust from your right side to his with the lance base, and thrust it into the face or neck of the opponent. If your opponent does this to you, you let the lance drop, and grab hold of the handle of the opponent's lance with your right hand and remove his thrust thus. Then, if you continue forward you can throw him out of the saddle as well has he can throw you. |
[181v] Habitus quo hostis impetum per partem densiorem hastae factum, manu repellas. Ad commemoratum modo habitum sic te accommodabis: cum hastam in hamum superiorem conieceris, equo calcari subdito, hosti occursato, hasta superne in pectus eius directa. Verum si is pari ratione contra te invehitur, tum etiam tu contra accurras, nec non frenum iniicias hamo inferiori, et manu utraque hastam transversim super equo tuo teneas, dextra vero adplicata sit retinaculo vel laminae, sinistra sit posterior, atque in ipso cursu, lamina vim hostilem de latere dextro tuo versum hostis itidem dextrum, postea eandem collo hostili vel bucula impellas. Idem vero cum adversarius contra te usurparit, reiecta equestri hasta, retinaculum dextra adversarii corripias, eumque impetum ea ratione removeas, inde autem si fueris progressus cursu veloci aeque eum poteris sternere atque is te. |
||||||||
[28] A strike to the opponent's chin, i.e. a half sun gaze. This is what you do in this skirmish: Insert the lance in the lance rest and charge at your opponent and hold your lance across the front of the saddle before you, and as you come together, you remove his thrust with the steel base to your left. If he does this however, you let go of the lance as fast as you can, and ride up close to him and strike away his lance with the right harm so that its handle flies up, and then you put the right hand under the opponent's chin over his lance and ride on past him, and you will throw him out of the saddle. |
[182r] Ratio impellendi mentum, quo hosti solem medium vix videre licebit. Ad eum concursum hac ratione te componas: si hamo equestrem hastam imposueris, contra hostem invehitor citato cursu buculam ipsius adpetendo, cum vero is taliter contra te equum flectat, celeriter obviam et tu adversario cursu celeri procedas, et hastam transversim pro te contineas supra ephippii partem anteriorem, verum in ipso concursu, ipsius impetum removeas hastae tutela ferrea versus sinistrum latus tuum. At si hostis pari modo tuum impetum repulerit, tu reiecta hasta quam proxime poteris, ei appropinquabis cursu, indeque brachio dextro hastam ipsius excutias, et ea ratione sursum hastae tutela seu retinaculum tolletur, post manum dextram hostis mento exterius supponas, supra hastam eius directam, et si inde fueris progressus cursu citato, hostem prosternes. |
||||||||
[29] A lower parry against a thrust to your horse's chest. This is what you do in this device: As soon as you have inserted the lance into the lance rest, you charge at your opponent and aim a thrust at the chest of the opponent's horse. If your opponent directs a thrust at your horse's chest in the same manner, you put the reins into the lower armour hook and ride toward him with the lance pointing to the ground, and parry to your left, so that his lance is on the outside. Then you turn down the lance handle with the right hand over your right leg and lift up your with left hand, that way you will throw the opponent's lance away when you ride past him from your left side to his left, and simultaneously you can strike or thrust him. |
[182v] Habitus unde hostis impetum pungendi avertes, quo fodere equi pectus conetur. Hoc modo te praepares licebit in commemoratum habitum: quamprimum hastam equestrem hamo superno imposueris, contra hostem incurras equi eius pectus adpetens. Sin vero is simili ratione contra te invehitur, tum frenum inferiori hamo iuxta cingulum imponere non cesses, vicissimque illi occurses, pronam contineas hastam humum versus, atque hostilem impetum ex eo habitu removeas in latus dextrum tuum ita tamen ut hasta ipsius exterior sit. Inde deorsum vergas tutelam hastae dextra manu supra pedem dextrum consistentem, sinistram vero tollas sursum et ea ratione hastam hosti eiicies sursum, si cursu veloci progressus fueris de latere sinistro tuo versus ipsius itidem sinistrum, simulque eum vel impellere vel ferire poteris. |
||||||||
[30] How to overthrow the horse with the lance. Insert the lance into the lance rest and charge with full force at your opponent and aim a thrust to his horse. If your opponent does this, taking you by surprise so that you have no time to insert the lance into the lance rest, then ride toward him at the same time, and hold the lance with the point to the ground and the lance handle in your right hand in front of your visor, that way you will remove his attack and throw the opponent over as well as his horse. When you see the opponent fall, you quickly let go of the lance with your right hand and ride past him on his left side. |
[183r] Equi sternendi ratio per hastam. Si hamo imposueris hastam equestrem totis viribus hosti occurrito hasta contra equum intenta. Verum si evenerit ut is pari ratione contra te cursu veloci invehatur, teque praevenerit, ne hamo iniicere hastam possis, tum etiam tu pariter hosti occurras, cuspidem terrae infigas, capulum vero dextra pro bucula galeae tuae si tenueris, impetum eius remoraberis, nec non equitem equumque prosternes, et si hostem cecidisse conspexeris, hastam celeriter de manu dextra reiicias, atque ex latere hostis sinistro cursu citato progrediaris. |
||||||||
[31] The guards with the sword on both sides. When you both have drawn your swords, and inserted your rein in the lower armour hooks, and you, wishing to come out victorious in this battle, are holding the sword with your right hand on the hilt and the left in the middle of the blade and the point toward the opponent. If your opponent comes at you in this manner and charges at you to thrust, then ride toward him in the same position as in the beginning, so that your sword enters in front on the outside of his left hand. Then you let go of the sword with your left and continue forward with your right so that you pull his left hand that is holding the sword from your right side to his left, and in this manner you can lock his sword, and his attack is rendered useless. But if your opponent has locked you in the same way, you let go of the hilt with your right hand and grab hold firmly in the inside of his arm and ride past him, and you will get free. |
[183v] Custodia per ensem utroque de latere. Si utrique custodia ensium utimini strictorum, atque habenas hamis inferioribus iniectistis, tu autem qui victoria potiri cupias, ensis capulum dextra tenes, et sinistra medium ensem, ea ratione tamen ut mucro contra hostem sit extensus. Et si adversarius tuus itidem suum gladium haud dissimili ratione adprehenderit, proque viribus contra te invehitur, punctione minanti, tu in custodia qua constiteras ab initio contra incurras, pertingente gladio tuo hostilem iuxta adversarii sinistram manum externe. Deinde sinistra ab ense remota, dextra consequitor ut munimento ensis sinistram hostis urgeas gladium tenentem de latere dextro tuo in adversarii sinistrum, atque eo modo ensem ipsius intercludere poteris, et omnem vim hostilem ita eludas licebit. At si is pari ratione te concluserit, tum dextra ex capulo remota, brachium eadem subito corripias, et si inde fueris progressus, te liberasti. |
||||||||
[32] The mane guard, i.e. when you put the sword between the horse's ears, against the side guard. In this device you do as follows: Draw your sword and charge, holding your sword with your right hand over your right thigh, and put the blade between both ears of your sword, i.e. on the mane, and with the point aimed toward the opponent. If your opponent comes at you with the sword drawn in the same manner, then you draw your sword as well, and hold it with your right hand on your left side in side guard over your left hand. When you ride toward him in said guard and he then aims a thrust toward your visor out of aforementioned tassel guard, then remove it to your right and when you ride past him you cut him in the back of the head. |
[184r] Custodia iubata, ubi eques ensem equi auribus interponit, contra custodiam lateralem. In modo commemoratum habitum ea ratione componito te: educto gladio in occursu celeriter, eum dextra ex femore dextro contineas, ense nudo auribus equi seu iubae imponito, mucrone contra hostem porrecto. Sed si is pari modo te adgreditur ense stricto, tu vicissim obviato ense educto eum dextra contineas ex latere sinistro in habitu lateralis custodiae supra manum tuam sinistram. Si itaque consistas, et adversarius contra buculam tuae galeae certet ex custodia iubata, tum eum removeas ense tuo in latus dextrum tuum, inde autem in praetereundo caput ipsius retrorsum ferias. |
||||||||
[33] Side guard against high guard. Charge in said guard and hold your sword with your right hand on your right hip with the point down over your right leg in side guard. If your opponent comes at you in the same manner, then ride toward him as well with your sword drawn, and lift it up over your head and make a thrust with the point from the high guard toward your opponent's groin. If he thrusts at you in the same way, then remove his attack to your left and then you thrust him in the right armpit or cut him in the right side and ride past him. |
[184v] Custodia lateralis contra custodiam supernam. Subito contra hostem invehitor in praedicto habitu, et in ipso cursu educto ense eum dextra manu in femore itidem dextro mucrone deorsum demisso super pede dextro in habitu lateralis custodiae. At si idem contra te usurparit hostis, etiam tu contra occurrito ense dextra educto, eum sursum ultra caput tuum dirigas in custodiam supernam, mucrone contra pubem hostilem porrecto, et eo modo eum saucies. Sed si is pari ratione contra te utatur, ense tuo eum impetum repellas in latus tuum sinistrum, inde autem ferias vel pungas axillam vel latus dextrum hostis, atque cursu citato praetereas. |
||||||||
[34] Two other guards with the sword on horseback. This is how you behave in this skirmish: Draw your sword, and hold it with your right hand on the hilt in high guard with the point aimed toward the opponent. From this position you charge your opponent and direct a thrust with the point to your opponent's neck. If he does the same, and you are holding the sword in your right hand, then ride toward him too with your sword drawn in side guard on your right side. Then you raise your sword toward his and remove his thrust on your left side, ride past him and strike or thrust him however you want in the right side of his head. |
[185r] Duae aliae custodiae equestres per ensem Ad eum concursum hoc modo praeparabis te: ensem stringas atque eius capulum dextra teneas in habitu custodiae supernae, porrecto contra hostem mucrone. Inde autem ex ea constitutione contra eum invehitor mucrone collum hostile appetens. At si is idem usurparit, te ensem dextra tenente, etiam tu occurrito cursu citato, et ensem teneas in habitu custodiae lateralis ex latere dextro. Inde vero sursum ensem dirigas contacto ipsius gladio, impetum ipsius ea ratione repellas versus latus sinistrum tuum. Post autem praetereas cursu veloci, atque capitis latus dextrum ferias vel pungas pro tuo arbitrio. |
||||||||
[35] Wrath strike against a parry. In this clash you do thus: Hold your sword raised in your right hand and charge your opponent quickly, and strike a wrath strike from your left to the right side of your opponent's head. If your opponent attacks you thus, and you are holding your sword in your right hand, then parry with the cross on your right side and thrust or strike at his visor, and then you ride past him. |
[185v] Ictus, qui nomen/ex ira sortitur, contra habitum aversionis. In hoc concursu hoc modo te geras: ensem dextra contineas sublatum, inde contra hostem cursu veloci invehitor, atque ictu qui nomen ab ira adeptus est, ex latere tuo sinistro dextrum capitis adversarii latus ferias. At si hostis te praevenerit dextra ensem tuum continentem, tunc hostilem ictum repellas cruce ensis versus dextrum latus tuum. Post ipsius buculam impetas cum feriundo, tum etiam pungendo, atque cursu citato procedito. |
||||||||
[36] Wrath strike against the side guard. In this fight you do as follows: Attack your opponent quickly with your sword drawn in side position, point directed at the opponent. If he comes at you in the same manner, then ride toward him as well, holding your sword in the right hand raised over your head. When your opponent then raises his sword to strike a wrath strike toward your head, or to strike you in the head with the pommel, you raise the sword from the side guard and pay attention to the three open parts on the opponent that you can reach with your point, which are the right armpit, the opening in the armour on his right elbow, and lastly the visor. When you ride past him you can do whatever you wish against him. |
[186r] Ictus ex ira nominatus contra custodiam lateralem. Ad eum concursum sic te componas: celeri cursu contra hostem provehitor ensem in habitu custodiae lateralis continens ex latere dextro, mucronem versus hostem. Sin vero is pari ratione contra usus fuerit, tum etiam tu illi obviam occurrito, continens ensem dextra supra caput tuum levatum. Si autem is rursum eodem contra te modo fuerit usus, nitens ictum ex ira adpellatum versus caput tuum ferire, vel nodum capiti illidere tuo, tum ex laterali custodia ense sursum directo, tribus partibus hostem nudum conspicies, quas adpetere mucrone poteris, has nimirum: dextram axillam, dextrum cubitum in iunctura brachialiorum, postremo bucula hostis. Inde eum cursu si praeterieris, conari contra hostem quae libuerit quibis. |
||||||||
[37] Thrust to the visor against a parry. In this device, you attack your opponent with the sword and direct a thrust to his visor. If your opponent attacks you in the same way, by thrusting towards your visor, then raise the sword and bind with his, and lift it up. That way you have parried his attack, and at the same time you may cut or thrust him in the neck of visor. Of your opponent attacks you with cuts or thrusts in the same manner, you parry while riding past him. Then you turn your horse around and strike or thrust him in the back of his neck. Then you ride away. |
[186v] Habitus pungendi buculam contra aversionem. In hac dimicatione equestri cursu veloci contra hostem progreditor utens gladio contra ipsius buculam dextra manu. At si tu fueris similiter ab hoste praeventus in occursu, nec non is buculam galeae tuae impugnet, tum ensem sursum directum ab inferne adversarii gladio iungas, inde si ipsum sustuleris, irritus fiet impetus hostilis, nec non postea ferire et pungere hostis collum vel buculam poteris. Sin autem is pari modo fuerit adgressus cum feriundo, tum etiam pungendo, in praeteritione eum impetum removeas. Inde autem rursus equum in latus dextrum flectas, et atque collum ipsius retrorsum ferias vel pungas, postea discedas. |
||||||||
[38] A disarm followed by an arm-break. When riding toward each other with drawn swords, and you desire to emerge victorious in this battle, holding your sword in your sword in your right hand, then strike toward your opponent's head. If your opponent does this, you raise the sword and parry with the long edge hanging forward in your left side. Then you move your pommel over the opponent's right hand, lean forward and pull toward you as hard as you can, put the reins in the lower hook by the belt, and grab with your left hand in your pommel, and if you then lift up firmly on your left side, then you will twist his sword away and break his arm as well. Then you ride past him and strike or thrust to his visor. |
[187r] Ratio extorquendi ensis, addito habitu brachii corrumpendi. Si concurritis infestis ensibus, tu, qui victoriam obtinere volueris, dextra ensem teneas, feriasque celeriter hostis caput. Verum si is idem contra te usurpet, eum ense tuo levato removeas propendente acie ensis longa in latus sinistrum tuum. Inde superiniecto nodo dextrae hostis manui, proclinatoque corpore tuo totis viribus attrahas, post frenum hamo inferiori iuxta cingulum imponas, et nodum manu sinistra corripias, si eo habitu in latus sinistrum sublevaris, ensem extorquebis manibus adversarii, pariterque brachium disrumpes, postea progreditor feriendo vel pungendo buculam hostis. |
||||||||
[39] A setup with the hilt on both sides. When you both charge at each other with swords drawn, and your opponent strikes from above toward your head, then ride forward to his right side and turn up the long edge against his strike and parry with the cross. When you have come close you turn up the hilt with the pommel first over his sword and move the pommel over his right hand so that it comes under his pommel. If you then press down to your left when riding past him, putting your reins into the lower armour hook, you may grab his chin with your left hand and pull him away, so that he falls backwards when you ride past him. If you notice this happen to you, then put your reins into the belt hook, and grab hold with both hands on the inside of his arm, and push away hard, and you will get away. |
[187v] Habitus quo manibus ensis capulus, utrinque imponitur. Quum ensibus strictis mutuo concurritis, et hostis ictu superno ferire conatur caput tuum, tunc contra ipsum ex latere ipsius dextro invehitor conversa acie longa contra ipsius ictum, atque ensis munimento intercipito. Inde proxime ad ipsum concurras, atque si capulum nodo porrecto retro adversarii gladium torseris supra ipsius dextram continget, ut nodus ensis tui hostilis ensis nodo supponatur. Inde supprimas sinistrorsum in progressu, et si habenas iam hamo inferiori inieceris, sinistra mentum hostis corripere poteris, atque hostem urgere, ut retrorsum concidat in progressu. Verum si id ab eo contra te fieri animadverteris, coniectis habenis in hamum, utroque brachio ipsius brachium comprehendito interne, inde si firmiter propuleris, te facillime liberum reddes. |
||||||||
[40] A lock around the opponent's neck. Put your pommel before you against your armour and charge at your opponent and aim a thrust to his visor or right armpit. If he does this however, then ride toward him too, and put the pommel on your right leg and parry his thrust with the long edge on your right side to his left. Then you put the short edge over his left shoulder so that the point hangs down behind his back, put your reins in the belt hook, and grab hold with your left hand on your blade near the cross just over his back and pull him to your left, and you will throw him to the ground when you ride past him. |
[188r] Ratio intercludendi hostis super eius collo. Thoraci nodum ensis anterius adiungas, et inde citato cursu mucrone ipsius hostis buculam vel si mavis axillam eius dextram adpetas. At si is idem contra te usurparit, etiam tu pariter occurras adversario, atque si ensis capitulum dextro pedi imposueris, eius impetum acie longa praemissa de latere tuo dextro versus hostis sinistrum latus removeas. Inde autem acie brevi super humero sinistro directa ea ratione ut mucro de tergo eius propendeat, tum frenum hamo eminenti supra zonam iniicias, atque manu sinistra ensem nudum corripias supra eius dorsum iuxta crucem, inde si versum latus sinistrum tuum traxeris eum in progrediendo prosternes. |
||||||||
[41] Counter to the lock around the neck. In this skirmish you do this: When you both attack each other and the opponent tries to lock your neck, you put your reins into the lower armour hook and grab hold with your left hand in your opponent's right arm and lift it up, and you will get away. Then you grab the reins again with your left hand and pretend to flee, but instead you turn the horse around from your right to the opponent's left and strike him in the left leg with the sword. Then you may do what you want with him. |
[188v] Forma interclusionis devitandae. Ad eum concursum hac te ratione praeparato: si mutuo concurritis hostisque intercludere cupiat collum tuum, tunc iniecto freno in hamum inferiorem manuque tua sinistra, hostis dextra correpta, ea si sustuleris, te liberabis, ne intercludaris. Inde autem rursum sinistra corripias frenum, fugamque simulato, verum post de latere dextro tuo in adversarii sinistrum flectas equum, nec non pedem eius sinistrum ense tuo quasses, tum quoque conari contra eum quaevis poteris. |
||||||||
[42] Defence against turning around.[126] When you both have come together and the opponent wants to turn his horse around, then ride as fast as you can into him and see to it that he cannot turn his horse around. Then you turn in your sword point from the upper guard into his visor, put the reins into the lower armour hook and grab hold of with the left hand in the opponent's right, and press down the hand and the sword to the left and at the same time you push him away from you with the sword as hard as you can. This way you may pull him out of the saddle when you ride past him. |
[189r] Habitus ubi docetur, ne equum flectere possit hostis. Si mutuo occursaris uterque, hostis autem terga dare vel equum flecter conabitur, tum quantum poteris celerrime in eum incurras cursu celeri, prohibeasque ne possit equum flectere. Inde autem mucronem ensis ex custodia superna in buculam eius contorqueas, et frenum hamo inferiori imponas, sinistramque manum tuam si hostis dextrae superimposueris, eadem ipsius ensem manumque in latus sinistrum supprimas, ense vero tuo totis viribus hostem repellas, ea igitur ratione in progressu equitem detrahes. |
||||||||
[43] How to lift a rider off the saddle. When the opponent rides toward you in full speed, and is about to strike at you from above, or turn the pommel into your visor, then ride toward him as well but do not draw your sword, but instead grab hold with your right hand in his right and ride up close to him. Then you lift up, and at the same time you kick him below with your right foot by his right spur. If you do this, you will throw him out of the saddle. |
[189v] Ratio equitis ex ephippio extollendi. Quum adversarius contra te invehitur citato cursu, coneturque te ferire ictu superno, vel nodum ensis in buculam cassidis tuae contorquere, tunc et tu vicissim contra occurras, nec ensem stringas, verum dextram tuam eius cubito itidem dextro supponas, propeque te illi coniungas. Inde sursum tollas, pede autem dextro ipsius itidem dextrum impellas iuxta calcar: id si feceris tum etuam hostis cogetur, ut facilius sella equestri eiiciatur retrorsum, et hac ratione sella equite carebit, vacabitque. |
||||||||
[44] A sun-gaze, i.e. when the opponent is thrown backwards along with the horse. When you ride toward each other, then do as follows: If he tries to strike a wrath strike at you from above or turn his pommel into your visor, then do not draw your sword, but ride toward him and grab hold with your right hand in the reins on the opponent's horse near the neck andpull up as hard as you can, so that the horse starts to rear on its hind legs. Then you put the right hand on his face so that the reins end up well up over your right arm, and if you then ridepast him you will throw him over as well as his horse. |
[190r] Solis aspectus, id est ubi hostis cum equo retrorsum deiicitur. Si invicem concurristis, tum hoc modo te in commemoratum habitum accommodabis: cum conetur te ictu, qui ab ira nomen indeptus est, hostis superne ferire, vel nodum ensis in buculam contorquere, stringere ense nolito, verum pro viribus contra eum invehitor, et frenumque prope equi collum adprehendito. Inde si sursum traxeris totis viribus, furere equus incipiet, nec non assurgere, postea dextram in hostis faciem torqueas ea tamen ratione ut adversarii frenum supra dextrum brachium tuum consistat, atque si veloci cursu in eum concurreris pariter equum hostemque prosternes. |
||||||||
[45] A way of grabbing hold of the mouth piece of a rearing horse. If you wish to emerge victorious in this battle, then pull out your sword and ride toward the opponent, and strike from above to his head or turn the pommel into his visor. If your opponent does this on the other hand, then ride toward him as well, but do not draw your sword, but instead grab hold of the mouthpiece on the opponent's horse as you may see on the picture and lift up on your right side. If the horse is about to rear forcefully, then quickly ride close to him and lift up the mouthpiece, and both the horse and the opponent will fall over at the same time. But if the horse is not as incline to rear up on its hind legs, then do not use this technique, as it is much too risky. Instead you grab hold underneath on his right arm with your right hand and you will get away from the opponent safe from harm. |
[190v] Ratio, qua equum assurgentem coniicias correpto ferro, quod ori equi iungitur utrinque. Ex hac dimicatione equestri si victoriam obtinere cupias, stricto ense contra hostem citato cursu invehitor, atque ictu superno caput eius ferias, vel nodum ensis in buculam eius contorqueas. Sin autem pari ratione adversarius te adpetierit, etiam tu vicissim occurrito hosti neque ensem stringas, verum dextra inferne ferrum ori proxime adiunctum ut est videre in pictura equi corripias, idque sursum tollas in latus dextrum tuum. Si contingat ut equus sit ad assurgendum furiose propensus, quam proxime poteris ad eum accedito, et si totis viribus sustuleris ferrum supra commemoratum, equus et adversarius simul concident. Sed cum equus adversarii minus sit proclivis ad assurgendum eum habitum vel minime usurpabis, quia periculosus est, verum potius dextra adprehendas ipsius brachium itidem dextrum inferne id si feceris, citra ullum periculum ab hoste te liberabis. |
||||||||
[46] How to pull the opponent over on your own horse. When you ride toward each other, but neither of you want to draw your swords, but both want to get ahead of the other, then do as follows: If he tries to grab hold of the reins of your horse, then ride forward as quickly as you can toward him and grab hold with right hand in his left shoulder and make sure that you get a firm grip in his neck and helmet. Then you kick with your right spur in the opponent's right foot, and pull hard to you so that he is weakened both above and below. If you then ride past him you will pull him out of his saddle and lay him over on your own horse. |
[191r] Ratio, qua equitem adversarium equo tuo imponere poteris Si concurritis mutuo, et neuter ensem stringere voles, verum utervis alterum astutia adgredi conatur, tu hac ratione contra hostem te componas, cum is moliatur frenum equi tui corripere, tu proxime illum accedito, dextra manu humerum ipsius sinistrum adprehendas, atque in primis curabis, ut collum adversarii adiuncta casside firmiter corripias, inde pedis dextri calcari hostis pede itidem dextro concusso, si superne versum te dextra totis viribus in latus sinistrum tuum, tum ipse inferne et superne infirmatus est, post si cursu citato praeterveheris, equo tuo hostem impones, eaque ratione ex sella eiicitur. |
||||||||
[47] How to get away from the previous technique. In this fight, where neither has drawn the sword but decided to attack with your bare hands, and your opponent tries to pull you out of your saddle and put you on his own horse, and he then is about to grab hold of your left shoulder, then reach with your right hand over his right arm and push away from you, and you will get free. Then you pull his right arm over your saddle bow, i.e. front and upper part of your saddle and lean over it with your upper body. Then you turn your horse from his right to your left, and you will pull him out of his saddle. |
[191v] Habitus evitandi praecedentem habitum. In mutuo hoc concursu, si neuter strinxerit ensem, sed alter alterum adgredi vacuis manibus statuerit, tum si hostis te conetur coniicere in equum suum, vel ex ephippio extollere, nec non cupiat humerum sinistrum tuum corripere, tu manum dextram eius brachio itidem dextro superiniicias. Inde si repellas, impetus ipsius irritus est. Postea ipsius brachium dextrum attrahas supra partem sellae anteriorem, et eminentiorem, thorace tuo ipsum adgraves, inde autem si equum ex latere hostis dextro in tuum sinistrum latus flectas, equus hostis equite privabitur. |
||||||||
[48] Defence against gripping in pursuit. When you both ride to attack each other bare handed, and neither of you has drawn your swords and you then notice your opponent turn his back toward you, then do as follows: Pursue him as fast as you can, and grab hold from behind with your right hand in his right shoulder by the neck. If your opponent does this and is about to throw you to him, then grab your reins with your right hand instead of your left, and raise your left hand from below over his right arm and grab hold of his right shoulder and press down, and you will break the opponent's arm, and when you ride further past him, you may also throw him out of the saddle. |
[192r] Forma vitandi in fuga, manuum iniectionem. Quum mutuo certastis ex mutua astutia manibus vacuis, nullo ense utrinque educto, si hostem terga vertere conspexeris, hoc modo te praeparabis: quantum poteris eum insequitor, dextram manum iuxta collum hostis humero dextro iniicias retrorsum. At si is pari ratione te est adgressus, coneturque te deiicere se versum, tum loco sinistrae mutatione manuum facta dextra frenum teneas, atque ab inferne sinistram manum brachio adversarii dextro superiniicias, adprehendendo humerum ipsius dextrum, inde si suppresseris deorsum, brachium disrumpes hosti, tum etiam in progressu deiicere equitem poteris. |
||||||||
[49] Counter to the previous arm-break. If your opponent tries to break your arm with his left hand, then pull your right arm to you quickly below, and put his left arm in under your armpit, and turn your horse from the opponent's right side to your left, and you will throw him out of the saddle. This device, and the turning of the horse is not easily illustrated, but from this technique you can perform several other devices. |
[192v] Ratio et forma vitandi habitum infringendi brachium. Si adversarius sinistra manu brachium infringere conabitur, tum dextrum brachium celeriter versus te attrahas inferne, eodem autem hostis sinistro superiniecto sub axilla directo, equum tuum de latere hostis dextro in sinistrum tuum flectas, atque ea ratione equitem deiicias. Verum habitus seu vera effigies equi flectendi cuius rei modo mento facta est, non potest vere, et ob oculos poni et depingi. Sed ex ea forma multi et varii habitus procedunt et formari poterunt. |
||||||||
[50] A neck throw against a counter. In this fight, when the opponent has reached with his right hand around your neck and forces you to drop the reins, then bend forward into the scales, and grab hold with the reins again with your left hand and insert them on the saddle bow for better support. Then reach with your right hand around the waist of your opponent under his left armpit and place it over his left arm. If you then ride past him you will deprive him of his bridle and throw him backwards off the horse. |
[193r] Coarctatio colli contra habitum aversionis. In mutuo concursu si adversarius collum tuum dextra circundederit, coartatoque te ita, ut frenum remittere cogaris, tum pronum te porrigas anteversum in habitum librae, et sinistra manu rursus frenum corripias, simulque ephippii anteriorem et eminentiorem partem, quo tutiorem sustentationem habeas. Inde autem dextra thorace hostis circundato, eam si sinistrae axillae subdas, vel eam brachio sinistro superiniicias, et si postea totis viribus cursu citato fueris progressus, hostis freno privabitur suo, nec non retrorsum deiicitur. |
||||||||
[51] How to counter the previous device. When you have clashed together and your opponent has grabbed hold of your left arm and armpit, then quickly put the reins in the lower armour hook and ride as close as you can to your opponent, and grab hold with your left hand over his right, and pull it close to you over the saddle bow. Then you put down the right arm and elbow in front over his upper body and over his right arm(as you see in the picture), and if you then pull to you above and at the same time head butt him with the visor into his chest, and push away from you when riding past him, you will throw him backwards off the horse. |
[193v] Ratio et forma effugiendi, habitum praecedentem. Si in mutuo concursu hostis adprehenderit sinistram axillam vel brachium tuum, tu confestim frenum inferiori hamo imponas, et quam proxime poteris adversario adpropinquato, nec non sinistram tuam dextrae ipsius iniicias, eamque propere attrahas per sellae partem anteriorem. Inde autem brachium tuum dextrum pariter et cubitum thoraci hostis iungas, brachioque ipsius dextro (ut est videre in pictura) superne eo habitu si anteversum urseris, nec non buculam pectori eius impegeris, repulerisque progressus cursu veloci, eum coartabis ut equus concidere cogatur. |
||||||||
[52] The chest technique with abduction.[127] In this following clash, you do thus: When you both ride toward each other you quickly put your reins in the lower armour hook you have on your waist, and grab hold with both hands in the chest of your opponent. If he does this, and is about to lift you off the saddle, then put the reins into the lower armour hook, and make sure to loosen your feet from the stirrups and press yourself hard against him. Then you leave your own horse and jump over to his, and sit down behind him, holding him around his arms with both your hands, and then you grab hold of his reins and pull to you, and then you may ride away wherever you want with the opponent held captive. |
[194r] Habutus und utrisque manibus, pectus hostis adprehendas, addito habitu equitem captiuum ducendi. Ad eum concursum hac ratione te coaptes licebit: si concurritis confestim frenum inferiori hamp prope cingulum iniicere non cesses, pectusque hostis utrisque manibus corripias. Id si fecerit, conaturque ex sella te extollere, tu vicissim frenum hamo inferiori imponas, curabis autem ut liberes pedes tuos ex strapedibus, firmiterque illi te adiungas. Inde autem relicto equo tuo ipsius equo insilias, retroque hostem te colloces, atque si palmis tuis utrisque brachiis itidem eius captivatis, eum circundederis, iisque corripueris equitis frenum nec non versus te adtraxeris, quocumque volueris hostem captivum duces. |
||||||||
[53] A surprise attack against the sun gaze. If your opponent comes charging at you in full speed with the sword drawn, so that you have no time to draw your sword, and he then strikes at your visor, then ride up toward the opponent and lift your right arm to his sword, and parry it on your right side. Then you ride in close to him and grab hold of his open visor with your right hand and push upward, and thus show him the sun, and when you ride past him you will break his neck. |
[194v] Habitus praeveniendi addita effigie caput contra solem impellendi. In hoc certamine si hostis tanta velocitate ensem tenens strictum invehitur contra te, ut prohibeat ne et tu gladium possis educere, atque visum feriat, obviato hosti brachio dextro obiecto, eiusque ensi ipsum iungito, et eo modo ictum ipsius repelles versus latus dextrum tuum. Inde autem proxime illie te iungito, corripias buculam eius apertam dextra, si ex eo habitu sursum urgeas, solem adversario monstras, vel si progressu collum ipsius disrumpes. |
||||||||
[54] The Forceful throw with the hook.[128] When you both charge each other without swords drawn, but both of you want to be faster than the other, then do as follows: when your opponent comes riding toward you, and tries to grab hold of your open visor, then put your reins into the armour hook you have by the belt, and remove him with your left hand. Then you insert between your fingers the rope with a hook attached to it that you have hidden under your arming jacket by the saddle wing, and insert it over the opponent's armour wherever you can on the right or left side, and if you then ride past him, you will pull him to the ground. How to make good use the hook is described in detail in the preface to this book, on the 16th folio of close combat on horse and foot. |
[195r] Sternendi hostis ratio ex habitu iniiciendi hamum, quem hosti iniicis praeter ipsius opinionem. Quum invicem concurritis ensibus reconditis, et alter alterum conatur aggredi astute, vel aperto Marte, tu hac ratione contra hostem utitor: si adversarius contra te invehitur, buculam apertam nixux adprehendere dextra manu, tunc frenum confestim hamo superno imponas, eumque sinistra removeas, post autem corripias amentum dextra intra digitos more equitum, cui amento hamus annexus est, quem furtim sub tunica geris iuxta ephippii alam affixum, eumque hostis armis superne qua poteris de latere tuo vel dextro vel sinistro iniicias, inde si citato cursu progressus fueris, equitem deiicies. |
||||||||
[55] A mane grip, whereby you make [the horse] bridle-less.[129] This is how you do this device: if you both were to ride toward each other with open visors, and your opponent is about to thrust or strike at your face, then you quickly insert the reins into the lower armour hook and remove his attack to your left with your left hand. Then you grab hold with in the part of the bridle on the opponent's horse that is behind its ears and mane and pull off the bridle thus, as you ride close to the opponent. If your opponent tries to do the same to you, you drop the sword and grab hold with your right hand in his right armpit, spur the horse and ride past him, and you will throw him out of the saddle. |
[195v] Ratio, unde equum freno spoliare quibis: Hac ratione te ad id certaminis genus accommodes licebit: si congredimini apertis buculis, et hostis visum tuum vel feriundo vel pungendo appetit, inferiori hamo tu frenum confestim iniicito, manuque sinistra impetus ipsius in latus sinistrum tuum repellas. Inde autem freni partem retro auriculas equi iubae impositam dextra corripito, eaque ratione eam detrahito, atque proxime ad hostem accedito. Idem si adversarius contra te molitus est, tu abiecto ense, dextram manum axillae eius dextrae supponito, inde subdito calcari equo si fueris progressus equum deiicies. |
||||||||
[56] Riding side by side gripping. When you both ride close to each other with bare hands, and you both try to grab hold of the other and throw him off the horse, then make sure, since you want to come out the victor, that you close in hard on the opponent's right with your left side. Then you reach with your left arm from behind around the opponent's neck and grab hold firmly in front in his neck, spur the horse and kick his right foot with your left by the stirrup. If you continue forward past the opponent you will throw him forward over on your horse or pull him forward off the saddle. But if you see that your opponent tries to grab hold of you in the same manner, then you lift up the right arm, and strike him as hard as you can in the inside of his elbow. If you then press down hard in this way, and continue forward beside your opponent you will get free of him. |
[196r] Lateris coniunctio in captivando Cum utrique manibus ense vacuis concurristis quamproxime atque alter alterum captivare cupiverit, vel equo deiicere, tu diligenter curabis, si quidem victoriam obtinere voles, ut hostis lateri dextro latus sinistrum iungas, idque si obtinueris, sinistro latere quantum poteris, adversarii dextrum urgeas. Inde brachium sinistrum collo hostis circumiicias retrorsum, firmiter itaque iugulo correpto anterius, subditoque equo calcari, pedem hostis dextrum sinistro pede iuxta stapedes concutias. Inde si protinus iuxta hostem progressus fueris, pronum equo tuo iniicere adversarium, vel prorsus detrahere poteris. Verum si intelligas te ea ratione correptum, levato brachio dextro, pro viribus interne concutias hostilis brachii cubitum, sed eo habitu firmiter supprimito deorsum, nec non pariter iuxta hostem progreditor, atque ea ratione te redimes ab adversario. |
||||||||
[57] Second lock side by side. When you ride toward each other bare handed, you grip with your left hand turned inward onto the opponent's visor, and pull him backwards and pull him against you, and he will fall out of the saddle. If your opponent does this however, then ride as close as you can, and reach with your right arm over your opponent's left and push it down so that it ends up under your right armpit. Then you press down firmly, using your left hand to support your right and press him down over the saddle bow, and you will have him captured, and if he resists, he will pull himself out of his saddle when he rides past you. If you want to, you may also break his arm by turning your horse to your left from his right side. |
[196v] Secunda praecedentis habitus ratio. Cum concurristis, et utrique conamini vos mutuo equis deiicere manibus ense vacuis, tum buculam hostis manu sinistra corripito inversa, atque retrorsum urgeas hostem, vel ad te eum si traxeris, concidet. Sin autem observaris idem ab hoste fieri, tum tu equusque sitis quam proximi adversario, inde autem brachio dextro hostis sinistro externe superiniecto pro viribus supprimito hoc modo ut subdatur alae tuae dextrae. Inde si arcte compresseris, manuque laeva opem dextrae tuleris, fortiter supra stratum comprimas, atque ea ratione hostem coepisti, vel si reluctetur, sua ipsius vi deturbatur in ipso progressu, si tu constiteris, tum etiam si animus est, infringere brachium ipsius poteris, cum equum tuum de latere eius dextro sinistrorsum converteris. |
||||||||
[58] Hand grip in the clash. When you both charge each other without drawing your swords, and you wish to emerge the victor, then do as follows: when you close in on your opponent's right side with your own right, you put your right hand on the opponent's visor, and push it away from you when you ride past him, and you will thrown the opponent backwards. If you notice he does the same, you wrap your right arm around his and press it hard to your chest. If your opponent tries to do this, however, you lower your hand and press down his left hand holding the reins, and quickly. Then you pull him over to your right side. Furthermore, should your opponent try to throw you in the same manner, when he rides past you, you grab hold firmly with your right hand that you have wrapped over your opponent's arm onto the saddle wing, just by the upper part of the saddle, and with the left hand in the saddle bow, i.e. front part of the saddle and press down forcefully with your elbow on the inside of the opponent's elbow as you ride past him, and he is forced to let go or be thrown over, and his attack is for nothing. |
[197r] Ratio captivandae manus in ipso equitum concursu. Si concurritis equis vestris insidentes manibus gladiis vacuis, tu qui obtinere victoriam desideras, hoc modo agito: cum hosti adpropinquaris latere dextro, adversarii item dextrum pertingens, tum dextra palma antrorsum hostis buculam adprehendas, atque in progressu eum totis animi viribus propellas, et ea ratione deiicitur hostis retrorsum. Verum si idem ab eo fieri senseris, dextrum brachium hostis brachio traiicias, nec non id pectori tuo adiungas firmiter. Sin autem is idem moliatur, manu demissa, sinistram adversarii supprimas manum, id autem fiat celeriter, qua habenas continet. Inde si firmiter eandem adprehenderis in latus dextrum tuum pertrahas. Ceterum, si adversarius in progressu pari ratione te deiicere conetur, tunc manu dextra quam brachio hostis traiecisti alam ephippii corripias firmiter iuxta eminentiorem sellae locum, sinistra vero ephippii locum ipsum eminentiorem, tuo inde cubito ipsius adversarii cubitum interne vehementius urgendo suppresseris, atque post celeriter fueris progressus, is vel te dimittere cogetur, vel per te deiicitur et eo modo conatus eius in nihilum redigitur. |
||||||||
[59] Bare hand grip. When riding toward each other without having drawn your swords, then do as follows in this device: when you close in on your opponent, holding your right hand resting on the right leg, then grab hold quickly onto your opponent's left hand holding the reins and pull to you as hard as you can. If your opponent has grabbed hold of you in the same way, however, you put your palm on his visor as fast as you can and when you ride past him you will push him backwards out of the saddle. If he does this, on the other hand, you let go of his left with your right hand and then you strike out with your arm to the left on the inside of his arm, just by the elbow, and you will get free again, and his work is for naught. |
[197v] Corripiendi ratio vacua manu. In mutuo concursu, cum manus vestrum utriusque vacuae ensibus sunt, hoc pacto te in id certaminis genus adaptabis: si ad hostis dextrum latus prope perveneris, nec non dextra tua manus pedi imposita sit tuo, tum subito eadem sinistram adversarii corripias, qua habenas continet, eoque modo totis viribus versum te adtrahas. Sin autem is pari ratione te adprehenderit, in buculam ipsius quantum potes celerrime palmam dextram iniicias, atque in celeri progressu si fortiter propuleris retrorsum deiicitur hostis. Cum vero simili ratione te fuerit adgressus, dextram manum ab ipsius adversarii sinistra removeas, deinde brachium eius si tuo brachio concusseris interne iuxta cubitum, eoque inde in latus sinistrum tuum reiecto, te liberasti, atque is omnes labores frustra in se recepit. |
||||||||
[60] Grab from behind. If someone comes up from behind who is faster than you, and you both are empty handed, and your opponent comes up with his left side on your right, and reaches around your neck with his left arm from behind and takes a firm hold of you to abduct you ore throw you against him, then make sure as soon as the opponent comes close, that you wrap your right arm around your opponent's on the outside. Then you let go of the reins with your left hand and insert them in the lower armour hook, and use it(the left hand) to support your right and you will get free of him above, and at the same time you hold his arm against your chest. If you continue forward, you will have him captured. But if you want to throw him to the ground, you pull his arm over the saddle bow and hold it firmly, and grab the reins with your left hand again. Then you turn your horse from the opponent's left side you your right, as you hold his arm as hard as you can, and you will throw him to the ground. |
[198r] Ratio, qua hostem retrorsum capere licet. Quum quispiam se retrorsum adgrediatur eques tua opinione celerius et neuter gladium manibus tenet, verum adversarius latus sinistrum dextro lateri tuo iunxerit, nec non sinistro brachio suo collum tuum circundederit retrorsum et eo modo correptum firmiter te abducere conatur, seu anteversum deiicere, tu curato ut quam proximus hostis sis, inde dextrum brachium ipsius adversarii brachio itidem dextro externe traiicias. Verum post reiectis habenis de manu tua sinistra, hamo pectorali iniicias, auxilium eadem dextrae manui ferens, ea itaque ratione si pro viribus suppresseris versum pectus, superne te expediisti, nec non brachium eius tuo brachio contines supra pectus tuum, inde autem iuxta hostem si progressus fueris celeri cursu, eum coepisti. Sin vero ipsum deiicere voles, brachium eius versum ephippii locum eminentiorem protrahas, firmiterque teneas, laeva autem ex hamo habenas solvito. Inde cum equum tuum de latere adversarii sinistro dextrorsum flexeris, totisque viribus brachium eius tenueris, hostem prosternes. |
||||||||
[61] Grab in front. When you both ride toward each other empty handed, and you wish to emerge victorious, you hold your right hand over the right leg, with the arm close to your body, and ride in with your right side against your opponent's right. When you have come together, you move your right arm in front over and around his neck and push yourself against him with the upper body, and as you push away from you above with the arm on his neck, and you will throw him backwards. If your opponent holds you in the same grip, and wants to drag you out of the saddle, then move your right arm over his right elbow and press down hard. Then you grab hold with both hands in your saddle bow, and continue riding forward, that way the opponent will throw himself. This technique can be done in many ways. |
[198v] Modus captivandi hostis anteversum. Cum mutuo concurritis nullis utentes ensibus, tu qui victor evadere cupis, dextram manum supra pedem contineto, brachio corpori adiuncto, atque dextro latere adversarii itidem dextrum claudito. Si igitur hosti propius fueris iunctus, tum dextro brachio collum eius anteversum circundato, nec non corpore tuo illum arctato, superne vero brachio tuo, collum ipsius propellito in progressu, ea itaque ratione hostem deiicis retrorsum. Sed cum hostis pari te ratione corripuerit, atque te detrahere fuerit conatus, tum dextrum brachium eius itidem dextro traiicias in cubitum, et firmiter supprimas. Inde si ephippii arcum manu utraque adprehenderis, nec non fueris eo modo progressus, adversarius seipsum deiiciet. Eoque habitu multis modis uti poteris, et variis. |
||||||||
[62] Mane/hair grip. When you both charge at each other empty handed, and you wish win the victory, then do as follows: hold your arms close to the body and the reins hard with your left hand near your chest by the saddle bow. Then you ride in with your left side onto your opponent's left side as close as you can, and grab hold with your left hand(sic) onto the opponent's visor. If he attacks you thus, then insert the reins into the front armour hook, and grab hold with your left hand on the inside of his elbow and press down to your right as hard as you can. Then you put your right hand behind his neck and grab hold in his visor by the right eye or around his chin, and pull forward as you press down hard. When you have done this, you take your reins again with your left hand and hold hard in the saddle bow. Then, if you press down, and at the same time pull to you above as you ride past, and kick the opponent's left foot with your left just by the stirrup, you will throw him off the horse easily. |
[199r] Correptio iubata. Si vacuis manibus invicem concurritis armis remotis, tu qui victoria potiri voles, hac ratione te accommodato: brachium utrumque corpori tuo proxime adiungas, habenas fortiter sinistra tenere curabis manu supra pectus secundum ephippii locum eminentiorem. Inde autem in progressu sinistrum latus lateri itidem hostis sinistro iungas quam proxime poteris, atque in ipso cursu sinistra manu buculam adversarii corripias. Sin autem is pari modo te conetur aggredi, tum habenas hamo anteriori iniicias, verum in ipso actu, brachium hostis interne iuxta cubitum laeva manu corripias, et dextrorsum totis viribus subprimas. Inde vero collo hostili dextram si circumposueris, buculam iuxta ipsius oculum dextrum vel circa genas adprehendito, et fortiter deprimendo protrahas. Hoc itaque peracto habenas rursum sinistra capias, arcuique sellae firmiter incumbas. Inde si supprimendo superne attraxeris in progressu, atque sinistro pede adversarii itidem sinistrum iuxta stapedes concusseris, facile eum deiicere poteris. |
||||||||
[63] Running side by side where you take the horse.[130] When you both ride toward each other and you then ride in with your right side onto the opponent's left, as soon as you get close to him, reach with your hand over the opponent's horse's neck and grab hold of the steel rods on its mouthpiece. If you then pull upward, the opponent's horse will rear. But if your opponent tries to do the same to you, just as he leans forward to grab hold of the mouth piece, you grab hold of him and wrap your right arm around the back of his neck and pull him to you as you press him down as hard as you can against your saddle bow. Then your grab hold with your left hand in his left and press down, you have averted his attack, as well as you have pinned him down and may capture him. |
[199v] Lateralis concursus, ubi equi capiuntur. Cum utrique proxime ad invicem concurristis, et tu de latere sinistro hostis dextro adhaeres, tu quamproxime poteris hosti iungaris, manum dirigendo sinistrorsum supra equi ipsius adversarii collum, illud ferrum cui habenae utrinque annexae sunt, nec non et frenum, ori caballi impositum. Inde si sursum traxeris, equus tui hostis assurget. Adversarius autem si idem molitus fuerit, tu dum ipse equo insidens curvatur atque ferrum, cuius paulo supra mentio facta est, corripere conetur, idem tu adprehendito. Post dextrum brachium collo ipsius retrorsum circumiicias, atque totis viribus deprimendo protrahas versus tui ephippii locum eminentiorem, sinistra adversarii itidem sinistram adprehendito, inde si suppresseris ipsius conatum praepedies, parique ratione ipsum intercludere, atque captivum tenere poteris. |
||||||||
[64] Two grips on the opponent's hands from both left sides. When riding towards each other's left sides, then reach with your left hand over your opponent's left arm and take hold of it underneath in his left armpit. If your opponent as taken hold of you thus, you quickly insert the reins into your front armour hook, and grab with your right hand on the outside of your opponent's left elbow, and with your left hand in his left and press down in this manner, and at the same time you raise his elbow, and you will break his arm. Then you ride away from him. |
[200r] Duo habitus iniiciendi manus hosti ex latere ipsorum sinistro. Si Mutuo concurritis ex latere sinistro uterque, tum manum sinistram hostis brachio sinistro ita ssuperiniicias, ut transeat brachium tuum sinistrum sub adversarii axilla sinistra. Verum si is te pari ratione adprehenderit, confestim frenum hamo inferiori iniicito, inde autem cubitum adversarii sinistrum dextra adprehendas exterius, at sinistra ipsius itidem sinistra ea ratione si suppresseris, cubitum vero sustuleris, brachium disrumpes, atque postea praetereas. |
||||||||
[65] A hand grip together with a wrestling technique. In said fight you do as follows: when you both ride toward each other on your left sides, then insert the reins into the front armour hook, and grab hold with your right hand over your opponent's chest in his right armpit and grab hold with your left hand to support your right. Then you put him in front of you on your saddle and ride away. |
[200v] Manus iniiciendi forma, simul addita lucta. Ea ratione in praedictam dimicationem te praeparato: si ex latere utriusque vestrum sinistro concurritis, inferiori hamo frenum tui equi imponito, dextram ultra pectus directam, dextrae hostis axillae supponito, sinistra vero auxilium dextrae feras. Inde si equitem pro te equo tuo imposueris, equo calcaribus subditis citato cursu progreditor. |
||||||||
[66] Another variation on the previous technique. When you both ride at each other's right sides, then ride close to your opponent and reach with your right hand under his right arm and pull him to you. If he attacks you thus, then insert the reins in the lower armour hook and grab hold with your left hand onto his left and pull him over to your saddle and press him down over the saddle bow. If you then spur your horse and ride away, you will drag him off his horse.[131] |
[201r] Alia forma habitus praecedentis. Si congredimini ex latere vestro dextro, tu proxime contra hostem accedito, directa sub brachio eius dextro manu tia itidem dextra, hostem versus te adprimito. Sin autem is te pari modo fuerit adgressus, tunc frenum hamo inferiori infigito, et si manu sinistra adversarii itidem sinistram corripueris, eam versus ephippium tuum attrahas, partique eius eminentiori a fronte eam imprimas. Postea vero equo calcari subdito, si fueris progressus, hostem equo detrahes. |
||||||||
[67] Wrestling technique where you throw the rider out of the saddle. Ride in on your opponent's right side, insert the reins into the lower armour hook and grab hold on the outside of the opponent's right leg with your left hand. If he does this to you, then make sure that you grab hold of his left hand with your right and pull it over your saddle-bow, so that both hands are joined, and you can pull him to you. If your opponent has grabbed hold of your left hand, then grab the back of his knee with your right hand and throw it out of the stirrup, and lift up. Then if you spur the horse and ride forward, you will throw the opponent backwards. |
[201v] Lucta, qua equitem deiicere licebit. Versus adversarii latus dextrum primum incurrito, atque freno hamo inferiori iniecto femur pedis hostilis dextri externe manu sinistra corripito. Idem vero si is contra te exerceat, tu dextra adversarii sinistram adprehendere curabis, et si eam versus partem sellae anteriorem attraxeris, eaque ratione utraeque manus coniungentur hostemque versus te poteris admovere. Sin autem adversarius sinistram tuam apprehenderit, correpto poplite eius dextro manu dextra, eumque ex stapede eiicias, et sursum subleves. Inde autem equo calcaribus subditis, si fueris progressus supinum equitem deiicies. |
||||||||
[68] Another wrestling technique where you throw the opponent in front of you over onto your own horse. In this device you do as follows: when you both ride toward each other, you quickly insert the reins into the lower armour hook, and as soon as you have come close you your opponent, you reach with your left hand around the left side of his neck, and with the right hand in his left armpit. If your opponent holds you in this way, you grab hold with your right hand in the back of his left knee and loosen the foot out of the stirrup, and grab hold with the left hand in his left shoulder. If he has taken hold of you in the same manner and is about to throw you to the ground, then pull him to you as hard as you can, and press him down in front of you over the saddle-bow, that way you will pull him out of the saddle and put him over onto your own horse. Then you can ride away with him captured wherever you wish. |
[202r] Alia luctae effigies, qua equitem in tuum equum pro te coniicis. Hoc modo in praedictam dimicationem te adaptes: si ad invicem proceditis equis insidentes, tu iniicere frenum inferiori hamo non dubites, nec non quam proxime hostem accedere, inde manu sinistra ex latere ipsius itidem sinistro collum circundabis, dextra vero sub ipsius axilla laeva emineat. At si pari modo adversarius te fuerit complexus, tunc dextra sub pede eius sinistro iuxta poplitem directa, solvas pedem ex stapede, sinistra vero humerum ipsius sinistrum corripias. Verum is si te consimiliter adprehenderit, moliaturque te deiicere, confestim tu eum mentis viribus attrahas, pronumque in equum tuum deprimas, et ea ratione ex sella extolles, nec non super equum pro te iniicere, postremo captivum ducere, quocunque lubet. |
||||||||
[69] Another version of the previous on both left sides. This is what you do to your opponent: when you both approach each other's left sides, then ride as close as you can onto your opponent and insert the reins into the lower armour hook. If he then rides close to you and tries to grab you around the waist, you reach with your right hand over the right shoulder and onto his back and pull him to you hard, and with your left hand you lift up his left leg that you have kicked out of the stirrup just before, and thus you lift him out of the saddle. Then you lay him down in front of you on your own horse, and you may ride away with him captured. |
[202v] Alia figura pr[a]ecedentis de latere ipsorum sinistro. Ea ratione te componas contra hostem: si mutuo concurritis de latere sinistro utrinque, tu proxime hostem accedito, et frenum hamo inferiori imponas. Verum si is quoque quamproxime coniunxerit, iliaque complecti conetur tua, tum manum dextram dirige per humerum hostis dextrum versus tergum, ea ratione firmiter eum attrahas, atque sinistra manu pedem ipsius itidem sinistrum subleves, eo prius concusso ex stapede, eum igitur hoc habitu ex sella extollis. Inde ipsum super equum tuum pro te iniicias, atque quorsumcunque lubuerit, captivum ducas. |
||||||||
[70] A dagger thrust against a parry in mounted combat. When you both ride toward each other and you get close to your opponent, you insert the reins into the lower armour hook, and grab hold with your left hands into the opponent's reins. Then you draw your dagger and thrust it into your opponent's visor. If the opponent is doing this to you, and you have not had the time to draw your own dagger, then grab hold with your right hand in his right hand by the wrist and lift up, that way you have averted his attack and weakened him. Then you let go of the reins with your left hand, draw your dagger with it, and thrust him with the dagger on the inside of his left hand, and you get free both above and below. Then you ride forward past him. |
[203r] Ratio pungendi pugione contra aversionem in dimicatione equestri. Quum ad invicem proceditis equis insidentes, et tu prope hostem accesseris, tum frenum hamo inferiori iniicias, sinistra manu adversarii frenum corripias, inde celeriter pugione educto buculam eius impugnato. At si is idem contra te usurparit, et tu pugionem nondum strinxeris, brachium ipsius dextrum manu tua itidem dextra iuxta manum corripito, inde si fortiter sustuleris, impetus irritus hostis est, eumque infirmum efficies. Postea remove sinistram a freno vicissimque pugionem stringas sinistra, et manum sinistram hostis interne pungas, atque ea ratione inferne atque superne liber futurus es, deinde progreditor. |
||||||||
[71] Another dagger thrust to the visor against a throw. When you both ride in toward each other's right side, and you wish to win in this device, you shall ride in close to him, draw the dagger and thrust at his visor. If your opponent attacks you in this manner, and you had not yet drawn yours, you insert the reins into the lower armour hook, and lift up the opponent's right arm with your left hand, and you have averted his attack and weakened him. When you have done this, you grab hold with your right hand between his arms in his visor and push away from you. Spur your horse and ride past him forcefully, and you will pull the opponent off the horse. |
[203v] Alius habitus pungendi, et econtra ratio equitus sternendi. Si utrinque concurritis ex latere utriusque dextro, tu memineris qui victoriam obtinere cupis, prope hostem accedere, atque educto pugione buculam hostis impugnabis. At si is superne pari ratione te adgreditur, neque tu pugionem strinxeris, tum frenum hamo iuxta cingulum thoraci infixo imponas. Inde autem ab inferne sinistra manu hostis brachium dextrum eoque habitu si firmiter sustuleris ipsius punctionem irrita facies, nec non infirmum reddes, idque si perfeceris, tunc intra brachium ipsius utrumque dextra manu buculam hostis adprehendas, utrisque manibus si fortiter repuleris, equo calcaria subdas, inde si totis viribus fueris progressus, equitem coartando deiicies. |
||||||||
[72] Defence on foot against the attack of a mounted opponent. When you both have clashed together, and you have lost your lance, you turn your horse quickly and run back to it, and as soon as you dismount you hold the reins with your left hand so that you are holding your horse turned toward your opponent. This way the opponent cannot hurt you, and both him and his horse will wear out. Furthermore, you can keep yourself safe from the opponent as long as you wish and at the same time retrieve your lance. When you have gotten it back, you hold it with both hands, with the left above and the right below by the handle, and press the back end of the lance into the ground. Then you let your horse go. When your opponent then comes at you at full speed, and has only inserted his lance into the lance rest on its middle, you raise the point of your lance firmly at his face and remove his lance in the inside to your left and down on his right side. Then you raise your right arm and lower your left and press down the lance in the ground in front of the horse and if you then at the same time step to the left of your opponent, he will fall to the ground and lose his lance. Then you may fight with him however you please. |
[204r] Ratio, qua pedes impetum equitis removet. Quum in mutua concertatione hastam equestrem amiseris, tunc ad eam celeriter equum tuum flectas accurrendo, atque in ipso actu vel cursu descendas, nec non equum habenis laeva manu arreptis contineas, ut equum tuum adversario quacunque te adgredi conetur obvium flectas, ea itaque ratione fiet, ut hostis nulla ex parte laedere te possis, et simul ipse equusque eius hoc modo defatigantur. Porro, ita te ab ipso tutum efficies, quamdiu libuerit tibi, poterisque hastam equestrem tuam insimul recuperare. Eam igitur si corruperis, utraque manu teneto, superne sinistra adplicata inferne vero dextra super densiorem hastae partem humi sit inferior mucro iuxta manubrium. Inde autem equum dimittas. Si igitur adversarius eques contra te impetuose invehitur, hastam in mediu tantum hamo superiori iniectam tenens, tum hastae tuae mucronem anteriorem versus visum ipsius nonnihil submittas, atque ipsius hastam interne de latere tuo sinistro versum latus eius dextrum deorsum removeto. Inde autem brachio tuo dextro sublato sinistro demisso hostis hastam equestrem in equi conspectu humum versus deprimes. Verum in eo ipsu actu in ipsius latus sinistrum si concesseris, eques concidet, vel hastam demittere cogetur. Inde iuxta placitum porro cum ipso pugnabis. |
||||||||
[73] A tripping of both horse and rider. If your mounted opponent has drawn his sword and charges at you, and you are on the ground, then hold your lance with right hand on the handle and the left on the front end, right foot forward. When the opponent comes charging at you at full speed, then grab hold of the lance for a thrust with the front end with both hands, and thrust the lance point between the opponent's horse's front legs and raise the back end of the lance as high as you can with both hands, and you will fell both horse and rider. Then you may use whatever techniques you want against him. |
[204v] Modus equi & equestris sternendi. Si adversarius contra te eques ense educto et stricto invehitur, tu vero pedes consistas, atque hastam equestrem iuxta manubrium dextra contines, sinistra autem parti hastae anteriori sit adplicata, dextrum pedem praeponito. Si igitur adversarius tibi immineat praecipiti cursu, tuque hastam equestrem in formam et habitum punctionis comprehendisti manu utraque tunc mucronem anteriorem inter pedes equi hostilis anteriores iniicito, inde posteriorem hastae partem sublevato manu utraque quantum poteris, et ea ratione equum simulque equitem prostraveris. Post ex arbitrio tuo in hostem quaecunque exercere volueris agito. |

[1] Instruction on how both combatants shall engage each other Thus the two armoured fighters enter the arena or enclosure to fight. Both combatants are for the most part armed with a spear, a sword, and a dagger, and they fight the whole time on life and death, until one is so exhausted he can no longer fend for his life. If one of them is so weak that he is no longer able to fight, he must give up all his property to the victor, and the victor can either accept, or take the life of his opponent. When engaging into battle, they call to the Lord. If you are standing with your left foot forward, holding your spear in your left hand held straight out with the point upward and the back end on the ground, your sword by your left side and your right hand on the hilt, and if your opponent then is standing in armour before you in the same manner, and you are then standing with your left foot forward, holding your spear in the middle with your right hand, you raise your arm above your head so that the point is directed toward your opponent and your sword rests on your left shoulder with your left hand on the hilt, then make sure to throw or twist the spear into his face or left armpit. Of your opponent comes at you thus, then hold your spear upright in front of you, and in this manner you will parry his attack to your left, and if you at the same time move to the side, you have defended yourself from your opponent's thrust. |

If he has dropped his sword and grabbed hold around your thighs, and have them in his left armpit, then reach around his neck with your right arm over his shoulder around his neck and if you then press down above with full force, and simultaneously lift up below, you will throw him face first. |
|||||||||
[75] An onset along with an opening of the hand, which is its counter When stepping together you and your opponent, then step forward with your right foot and hold your sword with the right hand on the hilt on your right side, and the left on the middle of the blade with the point toward the enemy. From this position continue forward with your left foot and turn in the point in the opponent's visor. If the opponent should try the same against you, and you are standing with your left foot forward, holding the sword with the right on the hilt and the left on the middle of the blade, point toward enemy, then parry the thrust with the front end of your sword and thrust him in the chest with the point. If he does the same, then drop your sword and grab hold of his left hand along with the sword with your left hand, and clench hard. Then you pull your dagger with your right hand and stab him in the palm of his left hand, and that way you will open it. |
|||||||||
[76] Another throw Thus you behave in the following fight: step forward with your right foot and hold your sword with the right hand on the hilt, pommel turning to the ground, left hand on the middle of the blade resting on left thigh. From here you take another step forward with your left foot and turn in the point from below into your opponent's groin. However, if your opponent is trying the same on you, and you are standing with your left forward, hilt in your right hand, point toward the enemy, then parry his thrust with the front end of the sword. Then you take a step forward with your right foot, let go of the sword with your left hand, reach around his neck and grab hold of his chest and pull to you. If your opponent is holding you in the same manner, then drop your sword, and stoop down in to scales position, and grab hold of his left hand with your right, and pull to you as you grab hold of his left leg with your left hand, and if you rise up from this position you will throw your opponent over on your left side. |
|||||||||
[77] Yet another throwing technique When draw near your opponent, then step forward with your left foot, and hold the sword with the left hand on the hilt resting on your right thigh, the right hand on the middle of the blade and the point toward the ground. Then you step forward with your left foot and thrust the pommel into the opponent's crotch from below. If your opponent does this to you, and you are standing with your right foot forward, with the right hand on the hilt resting on your right thigh, the left hand on the middle of the sword, and the point toward the enemy, then parry his thrust between your both hands to your right, and stab him in the neck. If he tries to do the same, you parry between your hands on the blade, and turn his thrust down to your left. Then you move the sword in behind his right knee and lift up hard, and you will force him off balance and he will fall. If you then press down with your left leg and thrust the cross in his visor, he will fall backwards. |
|||||||||
[78] A thrust to the groin with a death blow In this device you stand with your right leg forward and hold the sword with the right hand on the hilt facing the enemy pointing downward, the left hand on the middle of the blade on your left side. From here you step forward with your left foot and move the point up front and thrust the opponent in the neck. If he tries to do the same against you, and you are standing with your left foot forward, right hand on the hilt and the left on the middle of the blade, with the point toward the enemy, you parry his thrust with the front end of the sword to your right, and turn the pommel into his visor. If he tries to do the same, you parry his attack to the right, let go of the blade with the left hand and grab his pommel and bend his sword onto his back. Then you kick him in the groin with the left foot, grab the blade with both hands and deliver a death blow to his head with cross and pommel, so that he falls to the ground half dead. |
|||||||||
[79] A throw with a deadly thrust In said device you do as follows: place your left leg forward and hold your sword with your right hand on the hilt and the left on the middle of the blade with the point toward the enemy. Then you continue forward with your right foot and turn in the pommel from below and punch him in the neck. If he does the same to you, and you are standing with your right foot forward holding the sword with the right hand on the hilt, with the pommel toward the enemy, and the left on the middle of the blade, then step in with your left and parry with the front end of your sword to your left. Then you turn in the point over his right arm and into his visor. If he does the same, then lay your sword between your hands under his left armpit, and place your right foot inside his left. If you then lift up firmly, you will throw him over backwards, and he will have to drop his sword. When this is done, you quickly let go of our sword, and draw your dagger, and drive both your knees into his torso, and press his legs together, so that he cannot get up, and then you stab him in the neck. |
|||||||||
[80] Another throw with a thrust with the dagger In this above-mentioned fight you do as follows: place your left leg forward, and hold the sword with your right on the hilt resting on your right hip/thigh, and the point pointing down to the ground. Then you step forward with your right leg and turn in the point into the opponent's visor. If he tries to do this to you, as you are standing with your right leg forward, holding the sword with your right hand on the hilt, and the left on the middle of the blade, point toward the opponent, then parry his thrust with the forward end or the sword to your right, and step forward with your left foot and punch the pommel into his visor. If he tries to do the same, then parry his strike on the sword between your hands to your left, then let go of the sword with your left hand, grab hold of his left shoulder and push it from you, that way he will turn around. Then quickly, drop the sword, and grab around his left leg with both hands, and if you pull to you below, as you push above, you will throw forward on his face, and at the same time he should also have to throw away his sword. Then make sure that you pin his body down with both knees, draw your dagger with your right hand and stab it through his neck. |
|||||||||
[81] Another throwing technique If you wish to be victorious in this fight then you must do as follows: step forward with your left foot and hold the sword with the right hand on the hilt over your right thigh, left hand on the middle of the blade, point toward the enemy. And from this position you step forward with your right leg and turn in a thrust with the point at his visor. If you are standing with your left foot forward, holding your sword point straight at your opponent, then parry his thrust between your hands to your left, place your right foot before his left, drop your sword, and put your right hand in his left armout, and grab hold with your left hand on the inside of his right elbow, as well as you hook your opponent's right leg with your right, and pull to you, as well as push away above, he will fall backwards. If it were to happen that you fall with him, then put your left leg on both his, and then press down, so that he cannot get up from the ground, and thus you have pinned the enemy down. |
|||||||||
[82] A throw with a deadly stab with the dagger In said fight you behave as follows: step up with your right foot toward your opponent, and hold your sword with your right hand on the hilt and the pommel directed at the opponent, left hand on the middle of the blade. Then you step forward with your left foot and turn in the point into the opponent's groin. If he does this to you, and you are standing with your left foot forward, holding the sword with your right hand on the hilt and the left on the middle of the blade, point toward the enemy, then lower your sword and parry his thrust to your right. If your thrust is parried in the same manner, then drop your sword, grab hold with your left hand in the opponent's left, lift it up, and ram your chest into his loins so that the opponent's is forced down. Then you draw your dagger, pry open the visor on his helmet and stab it through his head. |
|||||||||
[83] Another technique as the previous When you step together in this fight you and your opponent, then you must do as follows: take a step forward with your left leg, and hold the sword with the right hand on the hilt and the pommel facing the opponent, and the left hand on the middle of the blade, and the point over the left leg. Then you take another step forward with your right leg, and stab the opponent in the groin with the point. If you are standing with your left foot forward too, holding the sword with your right hand on the hilt toward the opponent, and the left hand on the middle of the blade, raised over your head, then parry his thrust on the blade between your hands and do a double thrust at his visor. If he attacks you in the same manner, then drop your sword, and grab his left elbow with your left hand and push him away, and you have averted his thrusts. Then, however, you grab hold of his waist with your right hand, and pull it away forcefully. That way you will throw the opponent on his face. When this is done, then knee him between his legs and press him down thus. Pull the dagger, pry open his visor and stab him in the neck. When you have thrown him over in this manner, then you take his sword and put it over his back, as is custom in a duel. |
|||||||||
[84] A throw in armoured combat followed by tying up the opponent When you enter before your opponent, then step forward with your left foot and hold your sword with your right hand on the hilt over your head and the left on the middle of the blade with the point toward the enemy, and from here you step forward with your right foot and strike the opponent in the visor with the pommel. If he attacks you in the same manner, and you are standing with your left foot forward, holding your sword with your right hand on the hilt and the pommel toward the opponent, and the left on the middle of the blade over your right leg, then parry his strike on your blade between your hands, and hit him in the head with the cross or pommel. Then you drop the sword and reach down with both hands around behind the enemy's both legs and pull to you firmly, so that he falls forward. Thereafter you place your legs over your opponent's legs near his groin, and press down hard, so that he cannot get up. Then you take his sword and insert it through his arms and over his back, as well as take the strap, and tie his hands together, which is custom in duels. |
|||||||||
[85] The last device in armour combat where the opponent's life is taken Thus you perform this device: step forward with your right leg, and hold the hilt of your sword in your right hand and the left on the middle of the blade before your face, pommel pointing down, point up. Then you take another step forward with your left leg and make a double thrust with your point at your opponent's visor. If he tries to attack you in the same manner, and you are standing with your right foot forward, holding your sword with your right on the hilt and the left on the middle of the blade, point toward the enemy, then lift the sword up high and parry his thrust on the blade between your hands, to your left side. Then quickly, drop your sword and put your left hand under his left armpit and shove him away from you, place your right foot outside behind his left grab hold with your right hand in his right leg and pull hard, and he will fall face first. Then you pull the dagger and stab it through the back of his neck. After that you take his sword and place it under his arms and over his back, and tie his arms together with the strap, which is custom and ancient law for the victor in ordeal by combat. |

Now Luthers narung "sustenance, nutrition, food" offers itself to an interpretation of "gluttony; carnal pleasure", but it translates pragmateiai biou, meaning "the pragmatics of life", i.e. "everyday business". c.f. Tyndale (1526), who has "No man that warreth, entangleth himself with worldly business, and that because he would please him that hath chosen him to be a soldier"; Dresden has "temporal" (zeitlich) rather than "transient" (zergenglich).

This portraiture of gladiators has been the highest interest in art for many centuries now, but it was Gaius Terentius who began the practice of having pictures made of gladiatorial shows and exhibited in public; in honour of his grandfather who had adopted him he provided thirty pairs of Gladiators in the Forum for three consecutive days, and exhibited a picture of the matches in the Grove of Diana."

- ↑ Mair's source is the Turnierbuch of Georg Rüxner (c. 1490), edited in Augsburg by Marx Würsung (1518). Rüxner describes a series of 36 "imperial tournaments" (Reichs-Turniere) between 938 and 1487, beginning with a legendary tournament held in Magdeburg during what Rüxner makes out as the reign of Henry I the Fowler.

- ↑ Schlaraffenland is the German adaptation of Coquaigne (Cucania), first encountered in the 15th century (as schlauraff, schluderaffe) and popularised by Hans Sachs (1558). The name seems to originate as an (unattested) medieval slur meaning "lazy idler", schlu(de)r-affe, lit. "drooping ape".

- ↑ The Cod. icon. 393 text translates to “Fencing on foot, in which we use round shields and Spanish swords, in the fashion of the Italians, is 56 plays”).
- ↑ Mair here uses “die Wag” (pl. “Wagen”), which I am assuming refers to “balance scale” (die Waage, pl. Waagen), and by extension the structure providing for the balance.
