The '''Codex 44.A.8''' (or MS 1449) is a [[nationality::German]] [[fencing manual]] created in 1452.<ref>Internally dated on [[:Image:Cod.44.A.8 113v.jpg|folio 113v]].</ref> The original currently rests in the holdings of the [[Biblioteca dell’Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei e Corsiniana]] in Rome, Italy. This manuscript is commonly attributed to [[Peter von Danzig zum Ingolstadt]], but in fact the text only cites him as author of the final section. The rest of the manuscript is a compilation text consisting of treatises on a variety of martial topics, by several different masters who stood in the tradition of [[Johannes Liechtenauer]].  
+
The '''Starhemberg Fechtbuch''' (Cod. 44.A.8; sometimes called Peter von Danzig's Fechtbuch) is a [[nationality::German]] [[fencing manual]] created in 1452,<ref>Internally dated on [[page:Cod.44.A.8 113v.jpg|folio 113v]].</ref> possibly by the scribe Hans Rott.<ref>His name appears at the top of [[Page:Cod.44.A.8 003r.jpg|folio 3r]] and also appears on [https://www.digitale-sammlungen.de/en/view/bsb00096313?page=11 folio 3r] of [[Bayerische Staatsbibliothek|BSB]] Cgm 505, which seems to have been written by the same hand as this one.</ref> The original currently rests in the holdings of the [[Biblioteca dell’Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei e Corsiniana]] in Rome, Italy. This manuscript is sometimes attributed to [[Peter von Danzig zum Ingolstadt]],<ref>See, for example, [[Martin Wierschin|Wierschin]], p. 35, and [[Hans-Peter Hils|Hils]], pp. 111-12.</ref> but in fact the text only cites him as author of the final section.
 +
 
 +
While the first two thirds of the manuscript contain an anonymous gloss of Liechtenauer's [[Recital]], the latter third consists of the known writings of [[Andre Lignitzer]], [[Martin Huntsfeld]], [[Ott Jud]], and [[Peter von Danzig zum Ingolstadt|Peter von Danzig]]; if the anonymous glosses were written by [[Sigmund ain Ringeck]] (which would explain the reference to Ringeck's student Albrecht in the ''Twerhaw'' section), then it would be the only known manuscript whose contents were entirely written by members of the [[Fellowship of Liechtenauer]]. The fact that it includes largely-complete versions of the treatises of the named masters and is one of only a few manuscripts that correctly attribute the writings of Lignitzer and Huntsfeld makes it an important artifact in the early history of the Liechtenauer tradition.

The Starhemberg Fechtbuch (Cod. 44.A.8; sometimes called Peter von Danzig's Fechtbuch) is a German fencing manual created in 1452,[1] possibly by the scribe Hans Rott.[2] The original currently rests in the holdings of the Biblioteca dell’Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei e Corsiniana in Rome, Italy. This manuscript is sometimes attributed to Peter von Danzig zum Ingolstadt,[3] but in fact the text only cites him as author of the final section.

While the first two thirds of the manuscript contain an anonymous gloss of Liechtenauer's Recital, the latter third consists of the known writings of Andre Lignitzer, Martin Huntsfeld, Ott Jud, and Peter von Danzig; if the anonymous glosses were written by Sigmund ain Ringeck (which would explain the reference to Ringeck's student Albrecht in the Twerhaw section), then it would be the only known manuscript whose contents were entirely written by members of the Fellowship of Liechtenauer. The fact that it includes largely-complete versions of the treatises of the named masters and is one of only a few manuscripts that correctly attribute the writings of Lignitzer and Huntsfeld makes it an important artifact in the early history of the Liechtenauer tradition.
