87r a notes

• Note: no Latin equivalent for zufechten here
• two phrases for one concept-- near variants of the translated word. no parallel in german.
• No halves at all in the Latin
• Indes in the German, but weird indes (much less opponent action leading up to indes than usual)-- Latin still avoids the term but the clauses don't seem strangely ordered here (as they do other times german has indes). It's almost like the opponent is getting the indes here (choosing one of two paths in response to an attack, and then you have an answer for each of those)
• Are there other times Indes appears in the German and the Latin isn't messed up? (seems like no)
• Are there other times the opponent's actions aren't explicitly mentioned before indes?

87r b English (Sandbox)

1. Regarding the twofold wild strike.

1. It is a twin,
2. which will soon be described subsequently,
3. and practice it in this way:
4. in the mutual approach, place the left foot forward,
5. contact the sword with the right arm/shoulder,
6. and, if you foresee that you would strike an enemy, for whom you have longed,
7. then leap forward with your right foot to your right side,
8. and compose yourself with this method,
9. as if [you were] freely beating the left side of the head of the adversary,
10. truly drawing back the strike.
11. if you leap forward on his right side with the right foot,
12. you batter his head in the running across.
13. And if he sets aside this forward attack,
14. and you contact the sword so much,
15. then advance a little[,] close to that side,
16. then, out of the doubling gesture you should cut [with the edge/forward part of the sword] back to the middle of the sword of the opponent, using the short edge,
17. and even the other shoulder.
18. It is permitted to practice this gesture on both sides,
19. and you can shape the wild by transversing equally from the highest strike possible.

87r b notes

parallel phrase (multiple targets), present in German but with different grammar and details

[^1]: could this "id" refer to "indes"?
