'''Andreas''' was probably a [[century::15th century]] [[nationality::German]] [[fencing master]]. He is credited with writing a comparison between the longsword teachings of [[Johannes Liechtenauer]] and the [[messer]] teachings of [[Johannes Lecküchner]] which appears in the [[Hans von Speyer]]'s 1491 fencing anthology [[Codex Speyer (MS M.I.29)|MS M.I.29]]. Nothing else is currently known about this fencing master, though it's possibly that he is one of three other fencing masters who shared the name, [[Andres Juden]], [[Andre Liegniczer]], or [[Andre Paurñfeyndt]].

'''Andreas''' was probably a [[century::15th century]] [[nationality::German]] [[fencing master]]. He is credited with writing a brief comparison between the long sword teachings of [[Johannes Liechtenauer]] and the Messer teachings of [[Johannes Lecküchner]], included in a 1491 manuscript compiled by [[Hans von Speyer]] ([[Codex Speyer (MS M.I.29)|MS M.I.29]]). Nothing else is currently known about this fencing master, and he could even conceivably be [[Andres Juden]] or [[Andre Lignitzer]], both of whom were apparently German fencing masters and were active before Hans von Speyer's time ([[Andre Paurenfeyndt]] is another candidate, though his known fencing treatise wouldn't be published for another 25 years).

Translations Traduction française

Andreas was probably a 15th century German fencing master. He is credited with writing a brief comparison between the long sword teachings of Johannes Liechtenauer and the Messer teachings of Johannes Lecküchner, included in a 1491 manuscript compiled by Hans von Speyer (MS M.I.29). Nothing else is currently known about this fencing master, and he could even conceivably be Andres Juden or Andre Lignitzer, both of whom were apparently German fencing masters and were active before Hans von Speyer's time (Andre Paurenfeyndt is another candidate, though his known fencing treatise wouldn't be published for another 25 years).
