Brief statement of the character of the longer sword First, you should undertake in all things that you worship and love God, you should honor the feminine sex, and your fame will be increased by this means: therefore, you should learn, any of these things would be fitting, use the force and strength of oaks everywhere and in (beautiful) war, thus that your fortitude is approved by all.

Prima admonitio, primum operam dabis, ut Ictus, qui mox describentur, artificiose ferire possis more Athletico, si fortem gladiatorem te exhibere volveris. Cum pedem sinistrum praefixeris, atque de latere dextro ferias, iam deceptus, et ictus est falsus, [^1] nam dextrum latus non sequetur, et ictus brevior, quam par est, apparebit, neque vero ad dextrum latus rite potest exerceri.   Sin autem dextrum praeposueris, et de latere sinistro ferias, nec sinistro fueris subsequutus, tum rursus falleris. [^2] ea propter curabis, ut, si de latere dextro ictum regis, statim subsequaris pede itidem dextro in ipso ictu. Idem facies, si de sinistro ferias, et ea ratione commodissime corpus adcommodabis, ictusque porrecti et more gladiatorio formabuntur.

First reminder, first you will dedicate the work, so that the Strike, which will soon be described, you will be able to strike skillfully in the custom of Athletics, if you would have wished to produce a strong gladiator. When you set the left foot in front, and strike to[^3] the right side, now he/it has been deceived, and the strike is false, on the other hand, if he/it will not follow on the right side and it will be clear that a short blow, however suitable it is, [moved to 12] truly cannot be employed properly toward the right side.   but if, however, you should set the right before, and strike from the left side, and do not follow immediately with the left, then you are deceived in turn. Take care, on account of these things, so that, if you direct the blow from the right side, you would immediately follow with the right foot likewise in the same thrust. You will do the same, if you strike from the left, and you will adapt the body at the right moment to this method, and the extended strikes are shaped by gladiatorial custom.

[2]  Here it begins, a good general lesson of the long sword, yet there is much good, concealed art locked herein. 9 If you wish to examine the art,  Go left and right with cutting 10 And left with right  If you desire to fence strongly. The first lesson of the long sword is that before anything you should learn to cut correctly. That is, if you wish to otherwise fence strongly. Look at it like this. When you stand with the left foot forwards and cut from your right side, this cut is then spurious and incorrect. Because when your right side remains behind it, the cut becomes too short thereby and its correct path down to the other side in front of the left foot cannot happen.

[084r.2] Hie hiebt sich ain güte gemaine lere des lanngenn Schwerts doch so ist vil gütter verborgner künst darin beschloszen. Wiltü Künnst schawen Sich Linnckh ganng recht mit hawen Vnnd Linnckh mit rechten Ob du starckh gerest fechten. Die Erst ler des Lanngen Schwerts.

Si feriundo ad hostem accesseris, ense regendo ne cesses, eius ictum expectans sed semper exerceas. Nam omnes Athletae, qui id faciunt[^1], Athletica non gaudeant, quoniam saepissimé laeduntur.

If you approached toward the enemy having been struck, do not hold back while directing the sword, however, if you always make a habit of awaiting/looking out for his strike. For all Athletes, who do this, do not rejoice in athleticness, because they are often struck. [^1] This is a general, non-specific work around for 'versetzen'.

[3] Or if you stand with the right foot forwards and cut from the left side, if you do not then also follow the cut with your left foot, then the cut is again spurious. Therefore, see to it that when you cut from the right side that you always follow the cut with the right foot. Do exactly the same when you cut from the left side so that your body brings itself correctly into balance with it. In this way, the cuts become long and are conducted correctly.

[084v.1] Oder Steestu mit dem rechten füosz vor Vnnd hawest von der lingcken seiten volgstü dann mit dem Linngcken füosz nit nach. so ist der haw aber falsch/ darumb so merckh wann du hawest von der rechten seiten. das du alweg mit dem rechten füosz dem haw nachüolgest / Desselben geleichen thuo auch wann du hawest von der Linncken seiten. so gibt sy dein Leib mit Inn die rechte wag.

Item cum ad hostem concesseris, quocunque habitu[^3] uti voles, facito id pro animi Viribus et corporis, caputque ipsius ferire curato, et ea ratione adversarium coges, ut se tueatur[^2], neque unquam transmutationes assumere possit. mucro enim tui in ensis eum praepediet. Sin autem parte fortiori, qu[a?]e est pars á cruce usque ad medium ensis hostis tuum gladium contigerit, brachium eius sinistrum saucies, atque inde recedas, priusquam id cognoverit.

Item when you would have withdrawn toward the opponent, and you will wish to use whatever skills, make it according to the Strength of spirit and body, and take care to strike his head, and you will compel the adversary by this method, in order that he defend himself, and neither will he be able/it be possible to take up change-abouts at any time. Your sword's point (in fact) will prevent his advance. But if, however, with the stronger part, which is the part from the cross[,] the enemy’s sword continuously contacts your sword toward the middle, you wound his left shoulder/arm and thence you withdraw, before he becomes aware of it

[4]  11 Whoever chases after cuts  Allows themselves to enjoy little of the art. Gloss. This means when you come to the opponent with the initiation of fencing, you do not stand still and wait around for their attacks until they initiate one at you. Know that all fencers that just watch for someone's cut and then will do nothing other than parry, they allow themselves to enjoy quite little of the art, because by doing so, they become gravely struck.

[084v.2] Wer nach geet hawen Der darf sich künnst wenig frawen Das ist Wann du mit dem zufechten zum Mann kumpst. So soltu nit still steen mit deinnem Schwert. vnnd seinem haw nachwarten. bis er dir zuhawet. wisz das alle Fechter. die da sechen auf ains anndern haw/ vnnd wöllen nichts annders thun dann versetzen. die durffen sich Kunnst gar wennig freyen.

**Quum** perveneris ad hostem propius, si dexter sis feriundo, strenue athleticum exercitium exercere cupiens, a sinistro latere primum ictum nunquam regas. In firmior .n. [enim] est, quam ut hosti resistas in collisione ensium, verum si de dextro ferias, tum firmiter poteris resistere, atque varios habitus[^1] exercere.

When you have arrived closer to the enemy, If you are striking right[^2] you want to strenuously practice the exercises of athletics At no time direct the first cut from the left side. it is indeed weaker, than while you resist the enemy in the striking together of swords, truly if you strike from the right side, then you can stoutly resist, and practice various skills.

[5]  12 Cut from close proximity whatever you wish  No change enters your shield 13 To the head, to the body  Do not omit the blows 14 With the entire body  Fence whatever you desire to conduct with strength. Look at it like this, when you come to the opponent with the initiation of fencing. Whatever you subsequently wish to fence, drive that with the entire strength of the body and with that, cut in at the opponent's head from close proximity and at that moment, you simultaneously constrain them so that they must parry and cannot come to any disengaging in front of that because you come too close to them with your point. If they then come strongly against your sword with an act of parrying, then give them a wound on their left arm and with that, step back before they come to their senses.

**Sin** autem sinistra manus dextra sit agilior, etiam tunc primum Ictum de latere dextro non feries, at potius de sinistro.

But if, however, the left hand is more dexterous than the right, Then also do not strike the first strike from the right side, But preferably from the left.

[6]  15 Hear what is bad therein  Do not fence on the left if you are a righty 16 And if you are a lefty  You also quite awkward in fencing This is a good lesson that touches upon a lefty and a righty and know this, however you shall cut, do it such that someone cannot overcome the weakness in your sword in the initial cut and look at it like this, when you come to the opponent with the initiation of fencing, if you are a righty and wish to fence strongly, then do not cut the first cut from the left side by choice because it is weak and with it you cannot hold fast when they bind you. But if you cut from the right side, then you may hold very strongly in opposition and work whatever you wish at the sword.

[085r.2] Hör was da schlecht ist Ficht nit linck ob du recht bist Vnnd ob du lingkest Inn dem fechten du auch ser hinckest Das ist ain Guotte leer / Vnnd trifft an ainen Lincken vnnd ainnen Rrechten. vnnd wisse das / wie du solt hawen. das man dir die schweche Inn dem Schwert.

In gladiatoria optimum est, ut observes, quo hostem feriundo praevenias, id si feceris, omnes habitus quos exercere voles, contra eum continuo usurpato. Ut is cogatur subinde se defendere[^1].   Verum si is te praevenerit Ictibus exercendis, prima cura sit, ut acriter ense te defendas[^2], et ea ratione ipsius conatum in nihilum rediges.

In fighting it is best, in order to observe, when you come earlier than the opponent with striking, If you use "it", all the skills which you want to practice, continuing to use against him in order that HE would have been immediately forced to defend himself.   Truly if HE comes earlier than you in carrying out the strike, the first concern would be, to defend yourself sharply with the sword, and using this method, reduce his attempt into nothing.

[7] In the same way if you are a lefty, then again do not cut the first cut from the right side. For it is quite undependable art for a righty to drive from the left side and it is also the same for a lefty from the right side.

This means that before anything you shall see and understand the two things correctly. This means the before and the after and weakness and strength and the word Indes, because the entire art of fencing comes from those. When you correctly see and understand the [two] things and do not forget the word Indes in all plays therein that you conduct, then you are indeed a good master of the sword and can teach princes and lords well so that they can keep to the proper art of the sword in play and in earnest.

On the other hand there are twelve aspects of the art, which athletes learn, that are essential,  First it is agreed four guards. Second, four methods, with which the attack of the enemy is repelled, Third, by means of which the enemy having been threatened [may] be pressed hard, (Fourth),  transferring the sword, (Fifth) deflecting, (Sixth) change about, (Seventh) withdrawing of the sword, (Eighth) running over, (Ninth)  slicing off, (Tenth) method by which the hand of the enemy is crushed, (Eleventh) angles, (Twelfth) wrappings Moreover any of these here must be practiced using the method duly and consequently now described.

Ictus eius habitus[^5], qui ex ira appellationem assumpsit. Is ictus suo mucrone omnes Ictus superos avertit, quantumvis sit facilimus, & maxime agrestis: eum hoc modo exerceas.

A strike of this skill, which takes up the name from "ire" This strike turns aside all upper strikes using its point, even though it is the easiest and most uncultivated. Employ it in this way: If the adversary approaches your head above from his right side, you do the same thing in turn, firmly touching his sword (since/when every defensive position has been set aside), and suddenly turn the point of your sword over to his face or chest. Truly if he notices this, and also if he would catch/intercept the attack using the stouter part of the sword, then you lift your sword up from his sword, it [your sword] having been intercepted above, turn back again toward the other side of the sword, you strike the head.

Whoever can break them with the proper art without harm, they will be praised by other masters and is appropriate that their skills shall become better valued than the others.

Another caution. If you would strike the ire movement against the enemy, and he holds the sword strongly, and you wish to use the skill[^1] the way it is mentioned above, and you resist strongly in turn, thence if you would lift the arm toward your right side, you would twist the short edge of the sword away from him, and thrust at him above in the face, but if the adversary observes this, (the sword having been lifted) he catches/intercepts the attack), you would remain in the wrapping, and direct the point to the opponent below.

Also, when the adversary touches your sword from the form of thrust or strike, in the first conflict, do not immediately practice repeated strikes, but hasten slowly, and you will take the greatest care, in order to observe earlier whether he holds the sword gently or strongly in the striking together of swords, but if you catch this, you are able to use the wrapping, and within the timeframe of the repeated strikes (which is the aspect of the art that we Germans call beautiful/warfare) you attack by closely seeking the opening.

When you would proceed in the face of the adversary, if indeed you want to exercise skillful sport/athletics, you will not strike [imperative, fut] the sword of that one with striking/hitting, however, from the four openings, observe only: they are indeed those: one, the right side, second the left side above the belt, remaining, the right side and the left below the belt, therefore if you have advanced [or] selected any of them, [you should] batter audaciously, but also don't worry, about any who use their skill against you. But if the enemey were to protect himself by intercepting the strike, you would thus strike against his closest opening in your protection, and so the body, you will not have the particular method of the sword.

[17] Here it begins, the skills of the longsword. First, the wrathcut. Wrathcut with its plays 27 Whoever makes a descending cut at you  The point of wrathcut threatens them 28 If they become aware of it  Then abscond above without concern Item. now that the wrathcut breaks any descending cut with the point and is yet nothing more than a simple peasant strike. Execute it like this. When the opponent cuts at your head from above from their right side, then cut from your right side from above with them as well, wrathfully, directly and without any act of parrying, up atop their sword and let your point shoot in directly forwards into their face or breast. Then if they become aware of the point and parry with strength, then rise upwards with your sword, against their sword's blade, to the top, up off away from their sword and cut at their head. This is called absconding above.

[087r.1] Hie heben sich an die Kunst des Lanngen schwerts zum ersten der Zoren haw Zornhaw mit seinnen stuckhen Wer dir vberhawet  zorenhaw ort dem drawet Wirt ers gewar  nimb oben ab on far Item wisz Das zornhaw mit dem Ort bricht alle Oberhaw vnnd ist doch nit mer dann ain schlechter Bawrenschlag.

Ratio, qua nuditates, quo minus laedantur, tueri licet. Si quis acriter et totis viribus contra te feriat, et tu conatum adversarij impedire, atque curare, ne quatuor corporis partes supra modo commemoratas sauciat hostis, conaris, et is potius invitus laedatur, tum conduplationibus contra partem ensis superiorem, que firmior dicitur, et mutationibus contra infirmiorem utitor, eam igitur formam si exercebis, facile hostis vulnerabitur, neque ullos habitus assumere poterit, conduplationes hac ratione exerceto, Si adversarius supernè contra te feriat de humero suo dextro, vicissim et tu pariter cum ipso de dextro itidem firmiter ferire non dubites caput appetendo, eum ictum si parte ensis firmiori hostis exceperit[^1], sublatis brachiis, manu sinistra nodum ensis tui sub brachium dextrum si co[n]torseris, acie longa premissa ex brachiis cancellatis caput ipsius saucies retro ipsius ensem.

The method allows [you] to observe any opening which has been minorly injured If anyone strikes against you fiercely and with [their] whole strength, and you attempt to impede the attempt of the adversary, and to take care, [and] the enemy has not wounded the four parts of the body in the way which has been recorded above, [moved to line 3] and HE having been wounded is more reluctant, then by means of repetitions against the higher part of the sword, which is called stouter, and use alterations against the weaker, therefore if you employ this form. the opponent is easily wounded, and he won't be able to undertake any skill — Employ doublings using this method, If the adversary strikes against you from above away from his right arm, and you in turn equally with the same from the right, likewise don't hesitate to strike firmly while seeking the head; should the opponent intercept that strike using the stouter part of the sword, (the arms having been lifted), if you would twine the knob of your sword with the left hand below the right shoulder, you would wound his head by means of sending the long edge forward from crossed arms back to his sword

[18]  29 Be strong in turn  Wind. Stab. If they see it, then take it below This means when you cut in wrathfully with the opponent, if they withstand this with strength and you do not wish to abscond above, be strong in turn, and rise up to your right side with your arms, and turn the short edge against their sword and thrust in from above at their face. If they become aware of the thrust and rise up and parry, stay like this in the winding and lodge against your point against them below.

[087r.2] Bisz stercker wider  wind stich sticht ers so niemb es wider Das ist ain Leer wann du mit Im zornigclichen Einhawest. hellt er. dann starckh wider mit dem schwert. wiltu dann nit oben abnemen. so bis wider starckh [087v.1] vnnd far auf mit den Armen zu deiner Rechten seite vnd wind die kurtz schneid an seinem Schwert vnnd stich Im oben ein zu dem gesicht. wirt er des stichs gewar. vnd fert auf vnnd versetzt. so bleib du also steen.

At si in primo conflictu eius ensem ex latere sinistro tuo contigeris acie longa. sublatis confestim brachijs in ipsius ense tuus h[a]ereat, verum pòst retro ipsius ensem strictum, acie brevi caput vulneres.

And if in the first clash the long sharp edge of his sword having been connected from out of your left side. the shoulder/arm having been immediately raised in his sword[,] yours <your sword> would hesitate, truly/certainly afterwards the sword having been drawn close behind, you would wound the head with the short sharp edge.

[19]  30 Precisely note this  Cut, stab, position, soft or hard 31 Indes and before and after  And guard that your war is not hasty This is a lesson when the opponent binds against your sword with a cut or with a thrust. You should not let yourself be too hasty with the war, that is with the windings. You then precisely note forward whether it is soft or hard when one sword clashes against another or is in the bind. And as soon as you sense this, then wind Indes and work with the war, according to the soft and according to the hard, to the nearest opening. And this is called the before and the after, which you have learned of before.

HE has need of the transformations. When you strike toward the enemy fiercely from above from your right shoulder, and HE would intercept your attack, and would not hold the sword strongly, then weave the short edge of your sword around up next to his sword[;] thenceforth (the arms having been lifted) you should thrust the sword from above on top of his sword then prick at the other opening.

[20]  32 For the one whose war takes aim from above  They will be shamed from below. Know that the windings and the work from them with the point to the four openings, that is called the war. Conduct it like this: When you cut in with the wrathcut, then as soon as they parry, rise up with your arms and wind your point in from above into the upper opening of their left side against their sword. Then if they displace the thrust, then remain standing with the winding like this and let your point sink back down . If they then chase your sword with an act of parrying, then seek the lower opening of their right side with your point. If they then chase your sword with another act of parrying, then rise up to your right side with your sword. In this way they will be exposed above and below, if you conduct it correctly.

But if, however, you formed a Strike from the left side, and you connected with his long edge using [your] sword, (the arms having been raised) [then] don't shift that edge back from the sword of the adversary, toward the lower openings that have been wounded; and you can employ two skills from all of the previously described Strikes using this method, immediately following the observation, whether the enemy holds the sword strongly or less [strongly].

[21]  33 In all winds  Learn to find cut, stab, slice 34 Also with that you shall gauge  Cut, stab or slice 35 In all encounters  Of the masters, if you wish to dishonor them. Know that you must be quite polished with all winds on the sword, because each one of the windings has three distinct plays, that is, one cut, one thrust and one slice; and whenever you wind on the sword, you must gauge and recognize quite accurately so that you do not conduct the incorrect play that is called for in the winding so that you do not cut when you should thrust and not slice when you should cut and also not thrust when you should slice. And you shall conduct that in such a way that when the opponent parries the one, you hit with the other. Furthermore, you should always find the correct plays that are by rights appropriate to conduct in all engagement of and windings against the sword if you otherwise wish to dishonor and confound the masters that set themselves against you. And the number of windings on the sword and how you shall conduct them, you shall find them in the last chapter of the recital which says, "Who hangs well..."

Ictus, qui curvus[?] dicit[ur] descriptio adhibitis omnibus eius habitibus. Ictus iam co[m]memoratus ex quatuor remotionibus[^2] unus est, contra quatuor custodias, hoc etiam habitu ictus qui a[utem] furore boum et aprorum appellationem accepit, debellantur, atq[ue] ictum inferum hoc modo exercebis. Si in conspectum adversarij processeris, et is contra te consistat ensem pro capite in custodia bovis ex latere sinistro tenens, tum sinistrum tu pr[a]eponas, iuxtaq[ue] humerum dextrum ensem contineas in custodia, verum ex ea in latus dextrum prosilias, et man[us] hostis acie longa saucies ex brachijs cancellatis.

The strike which is called curved, a description of its application to all aspects of the art the strike which is now recalled to mind is one of the four actions of warding off/eliminations, against four guards, and additionally, by this aspect of the art[,] the strike, which takes its name from the rage of the ox and boar, is vanquished, and you will employ the lower strike in this way. If you proceed into range of the adversary, and HE stands against you holding the sword before [his] head in the ox guard from his left side, then you place the left in front, holding your sword next to your right arm in the guard, truly you leap forth from this into the right side, and you wound the hands of the enemy with the long edge from crossed arms.

[22]  36 Know the four openings  Take aim so that you strike quite wisely 37 Without any fear  Without doubt however they are situated. This is when you come to the opponent with the initiation of fencing. If you subsequently wish to fence surely, then you should not expressly cut at their sword. Rather, you should target the four openings. [The first opening] this is the right side, the second, the left above the belt of the opponent. The other two openings, these are the left and right sides below the belt. Select one of these openings and boldly initiate a cut there and do not worry about what they fence against you. If they then parry, immediately work to the nearest opening in that act of parrying. In this way, focus on the body and not the sword.

Eundem etiam poteris exercere ex custodia cancellata de utroq[ue] latere, ea igitur in pr[a]edictam custodiam ratione te accom[m]odato. cum prope ad hostem concesseris gladio Athleticè tractato, sinistr[um] pr[a]eponas pedem, ensem ita contineas iuxta latus dextrum, ut mucro deorsum vergat, acie longa superne conversa, latus itaq[ue] sinistr[um] nudum hosti pr[a]ebeas, id si feriundo appetat, hostis supernè, tu[m] dextro pede prosilias, ictumq[ue] ea ratione vites in latus hostis dextru[m], nodum ensis inde sub brachiu[m] dextru[m] contorqueas, atq[ue] manibus cancellatis ex acie longa per mucronem manus eius saucies.

You can also employ the same from the crossed guard from either side, therefore dispose yourself in the previously mentioned guard. When near to the opponent pull back the gladius in the manner of athletes [in order to?] concede temporarily, advance your left foot, thus hold the sword next to the right side, so that the point inclines downward, turn the long edge above, and so you will make the left side opening available to the enemy, if the enemy should assail IT striking, [the enemy above?] then leap forward with the right foot, and using this method you evade the blow into the right side of the enemy, thence you twine the knot[^1] of the sword under the right arm, and you wound his hands using the point from the long edge (the hands having been crossed).

[23]  38 If you wish to arrange yourself  To artfully break the four openings 39 Double high  Mutate down below 40 I say to you truthfully  No one defends themselves without danger 41 If you have understood this,  They can scarcely come to blows, etc. This means whenever the opponent cuts in earnestly, if you wish to then set yourself up against them to break the openings with artfulness so that they must allow themselves to be hit without their permission, then conduct the doubling against the strong of the sword and the mutating against the weak. For I say to you truthfully that they cannot protect themselves from strikes and therefore cannot come to blows.

In the crossed guard[,] adjust yourself to this manner, if you want to practice it from the left side. When you approach toward the enemy (the sword being properly guided), place the right foot forward, hold the sword downwards with crossed arms from the left side, the point having been inverted so that the short edge stands above, and you present the open right side to the enemy: and if he seeks to strike it, then with the left foot having been advanced into the left side in the same manner, you will avoid the strike of the enemy, and you will wound his hands with the short edge in this advance.

[24] Item. Execute the doubling like this: When the opponent initiates a cut from above from their right shoulder; cut in strongly from above as well in the same way from your right shoulder to their head. Then if they parry that cut with strength, then immediately rise up with your arms and shove your pommel under your right arm with your left hand and strike them upon their head from crossed arms with the long edge from behind their sword's blade.

Another of the same method   In the flashing of the swords by this method, in order that it extends below,[^2] Conduct yourself using this skill against the masters of sport from the union of the swords If you step toward the adversary, you would place your sword in the crossed guard on the right side, or into the proximity of the upper arm, and if the adversary wishes to wound you in a high opening, then hit quickly from the crossed arms in the way of his strike (the long edge having been sent forward), truly, as the first, the swords will have seized with mutual flashing suddenly twist the sword, toward the left side, thence (the arms having been lifted), dig at the upper opening, on the other hand if you don't want to dig, insofar as you are able to make your decision with judgement, then the flashing of the swords having occurred, you attempt to wound the head and other parts of the body with the short edge.

[25] Item. Or if you have bound their sword with your long edge from your left side, then immediately rise up with your arms and remain like this against their sword, and strike them upon their head from behind their sword's blade with your short edge.

The curved strike has been extended and thence you should not forget the change about This gesture is directed against the guard using the rage of the ox, therefore it should be adopted in this method. If you will advance in view of the adversary, and if HE stands in the aforementioned guard, and he holds the sword on the left side in front of your right arm, [you] pretend, as if you wished to touch the sword of the adversary as a result of making use of the curved strike from the first onset, truly the strike, having not been extended more, thence moreover change about below, and drive/thrust the longer point on the other side against the opening, by this method, the enemy is compelled to intercept the attack, on the other hand then you want to practice the skill & the strike in any time.

[26] Item. Execute the mutating on the right side like this: When you cut in strongly from above from your right shoulder, if the opponent parries and is soft at the sword, then wind the short edge against their sword to your left side and rise sufficiently up with your arms and hang your point over their sword from above, and with that move up on the arms and thrust into their other opening.

Alia Cautela vel usus ictus Curvj Cum hoc ictu uteris, semper adversario te nudum exhibere necesse est, at[que] hoc inde percipito. Si eu[m] ictu[m] ex latere dextro ferias tuo, vel ensem eius co[n]tingas, nudus de latere sinistro adpares, atq[ue] si is tanta fuerit industria pre[a]ditus, remoto ense à mutua ensium collisione, nec non nuditatem, quam ei p[re]buisti feriundo appetat, teq[ue] velocitate conetur decipere, tuus subinde eius ensi inh[a]ereat, insequaturq[ue] ictum ipsius, verum pòst in visu[m] hostis, ensis tui mucronè contorqueas, atq[ue] crebris ictibus, quie[a] militia dicitur Germanis Athletis, utitor nuditates acquirendo, ea igitur ratione adversariu[m] tantu[m] conturbabis, ut neq[ue] contra ictus tuos, neq[ue] habitus pungendi se tueri queat.

Another caution or using the curved strike. When you use this strike, it is always necessary to present yourself open to the adversary, and thereupon grasp this. If you strike him the strike from your right side, or you touch his sword, you appear open from the left side, And if HE would have diligently drawn so near before, the sword having been shifted away from a mutual collision of swords, and also the opening, then as you present to him, he seeks to strike, and he tries to ensnare you with swiftness, your [sword] sticks/clings to his sword immediately after and follows/overtakes his strike, afterwards, twine the sword with your point, truly into the face of the opponent, and with continuous strikes, which is called "warfare" by german athletes, use [this tactic] when the openings are acquired, therefore you will completely confuse the adversary with this method, so that he would neither be able to protect himself against your strike, nor skill in thrusting.

[27] Item. The mutating on the left side: Or if you have bound against the opponent's sword with your long edge, then rise up with your arms and keep the same edge against their sword and again wind the short edge over their sword, and rise sufficiently up with your arms and hang your point over their sword from above and thrust into the lower opening of their left side. In this way, you can also conduct these two plays from all cuts after you have sensed the weakness and strength in the sword.

Skills, and various Uses of the transverse.   THAT strike [verbs] the guard of the day. first, this which is described now, drives back a strike, from above and the remaining, which is struck from the day from above and below. Thus practice the transverse. If the adversary stands against you, and lifts his sword (the arms having been lifted) in the guard, (awaiting you), if you will take care you will have conceded closer to him, in order that you put the left foot forward, (the width of a sword), or if you hold the flat of the sword next to the right arm/elbow. and if he advances and threatens close against you, then take care to precede him, and leap with your right foot into your right side in the same way, suddenly rotating the hilt of your sword in front of your face so that the thumb stands firm, thence you batter the left side of the head of the enemy with the short edge.

[28]  The crooked cut with its plays 42 Crook up swiftly  Throw the point onto the hands 43 Crook. Whoever parries well  Disrupts many cuts with stepping. Know that the crooked cut is one of the four parries against the four guards because with them one wars the ox and also the boar and the rising cut. Execute it like this. When you come to the opponent with the initiation of fencing, if they subsequently stand against you and hold their sword in front of their head in the guard of the ox on their left side, then advance your left foot and hold your sword in guard on your right shoulder and from guard, spring well to your right side with the right foot, and strike them from crossed arms with the long edge across their hands.

If, on the contrary, he arrives properly before you, then you leap forward with the right foot having been placed as directed above as a means of protection, avoiding the strike of the enemy at your right side, and you clash together with the transverse strike in the previously named location.

[29]  Item. You also conduct the crooked cut from the barrier guard from both sides. Send yourself into the guard like this. When you come to the opponent with the initiation of fencing, then advance your left foot and hold your sword upon the ground with the point next to your right side such that the long edge of the sword is turned and present yourself open like this with your left side. If they then cut in high into your opening, then spring away from the cut well to the right side, with your right foot facing them and shove the pommel of your sword under your right arm and strike them from the long edge with crossed hands with your point upon their hands.

Veru[m] si id nequibis, co[n]duplationes retro ipsius gladiu[m] exerceas, inde autem curabis ut adversarij caput concutias.

Moreover and in addition, you will take the greatest of care when striking the transverse, so that [you] do it with all strength, or at the stouter part of the sword, if, however, IT has been intercepted by the adversary, you lift the stouter part of the sword, and if using this part you perceive the weaker of the enemy himself, use alterations ~shiftings~ directed above his sword toward the lower openings, or if you prefer toward his neck. Truly, if you cannot do this, employ repetitions to the back of his sword, thence also undertake that you should crash into the head of the adversary.

[30] Item. In this way, send yourself to your left side using the barrier guard. When you come to the opponent with the initiation of fencing, advance your right foot and hold your sword upon the ground with the point by your left side with crossed hands such that the short edge of the sword is up and present yourself open with your right side. Then if they strike at the opening, then step to your left side with your left foot well away from the cut and strike them over their hands during the step with the short edge.

As for the rest, if the enemy protects himself so fiercely, that you are not able to employ the remembered/suggested skills, using the hilt of your sword, you drive back the sword of the adversary and batter his other side with the transverse, or if on the other hand he tries to run in, practice the skill of slicing under his arm.

And remember this as well: When you come to the opponent with the initiation of fencing, bring your sword into the barrier guard on your right side or hold it atop your right shoulder. Then if they cut at the opening from above, then cut strongly with crossed arms against their cut with the long edge. And as soon as the swords spark together, then Indes wind toward your left side with your sword and rise up with your arms and stab them in the face. Or if you don't want to thrust, then note as soon as it sparks, then Indes cut to their head or to their body with the short edge.

[title] In the preceding it has been said, how the Ox and the plow \[may be\] two military camps, or they may be guards, here, on the other hand, four openings are called Ox and plow. The Ox, two openings above, this is, the right and left sides of the head. The Plow, two openings below, that is two sides below the belt. Therefore explore these openings thoroughly using the Transverse in the approach of the enemy.

When you would come near to the adversary, and he stands against you in the guard of the day, then advance the right foot against him toward the right side, and with all strength, dash the transverse above against the left side of the head, which is called Ox, and if the opponent drives that attack back, next [attack with the transverse] below at the lower right side, which stands near or below the belt, which is called plow. And so hereafter employ the Transverse alternately, first above, next below brandish the plow in the likeness of the cross.

Therefore, make use of that [strike] by means of this method, if you approach closer to the enemy, you employ the strike from below on both sides. but if you draw near to him with the strike having been made from below from the right side, suddenly inject the point to the chest of the opponent from the long edge, and thereupon it will become necessary, in order that he shifts your forward attack, truly thence quickly leap forward with the left foot to the right side of the adversary, and pretend, as if you would want to batter the side, as was described before with the transverse, but drawn back, or the thrust having been transformed, soon strike toward the left side, Or if you come near to him from the left side forming the transverse, and also then you drive the sword from the long edge against the breast of the enemy, and employ this skill from close in as described above.

Practice the turner-over or turning strike in this way, always set the left foot in front against the opponent, and from the right side, strike the opponent likewise on the right, and as often as you would advance, take care in order to strike a low strike in the advance itself, truly by practicing the strike according to itself, you reverse/turn over the long edge of the sword, so that it always appears from above, and you contact his sword to the highest degree possible, you thrust itself in against the higher sword, and dig at his face. truly if he shifts it, and also raises the arms upward, you should remember to run across, or if he stays behind, neither lifting the arms, then seize his right elbow with the left hand, if you have held firmly with strength, having leapt forward, you place with the right in front of the left foot of the enemy, and drive him by the same. When, on the other hand, he is run across, as will be described a little later.

Regarding the twofold wild strike. It is a twin, which will soon be described subsequently, and practice it in this way: in the mutual approach, place the left foot forward, contact the sword with the right arm/shoulder, and, if you foresee that you would strike an enemy, for whom you have longed, then leap forward with your right foot to your right side, and compose yourself with this method, as if [you were] freely beating the left side of the head of the adversary, truly drawing back the strike. if you leap forward on his right side with the left foot, you batter his head in the running across. And if he sets aside this forward attack, and you contact the sword so much, then advance a little[,] close to that side, from which you have used the doubling, you should cut back to the middle of the sword of the opponent using the short edge, or at the other shoulder. It is permitted to practice this skill on both sides, and you can shape the wild by transversing equally from the highest strike possible.

Here follows a variation the use of this strike, which is called the side-eye, having inherited it, it is called the squinter by us.   This strike is a serious and strict skill, for it overwhelms the enemy with strength of strokes and thrusts, and it is shaped by inverting the sword: for which reason many masters of Athletics are ignorant concerning this, then again, they are entirely unfamiliar the plow.   Practice the skill or thrust using these conditions: If you advance into view of the adversary, set the left foot before. you should contain the sword with a movement, and if it happens, in order that the opponent strikes from above against your head, inverting the sword, you should join the left to the right foot (?), and the arms having been stretched out [and] the long edge extended, strike his sword above against his strike or face or chest, and if the adversary uses this trick; your sword now contacts, in truth it goes across underneath, then you resist[,] extending the sword against his face the shoulder having been extended, and thence the adversary cannot strike you, nor use the transfer.

In congressu versus hostem, prospicias diligenter limis quasi oculis, num brevis sit feriundo, verum id[^1] eo modo deprehendas, si brachia non extendat in ipso ictu, brevis est, et si in custodia consistas, laedere te nequibit,[^3] et si suo ense tuum prepedire conetur, eum itidem adprehendere nequibit. Verum si eveniat, ut ex Bovis habitu laboret vel Aratri forma,[^2] itidem decipietur,[^4] denique quicquid exercuerit, inepta apparebunt.

Observation. From whence it can be considered, whether the adversary would practice [with] the rather less extended sword. In the approach against the opponent, you should watch diligently with a side eye as it were, whether he were short with the striking, truly you should catch IT in the act in this way, if he would not extend the arm in the cut itself, he is short, and if you should take a position in a guard, he will not be able to injure you, and if he tries to use his sword as an impediment in front of you, he likewise can't seize IT [the sword]. Truly if it happens, that he works from the stance of Ox or from the guard of the Plow, he is likewise deceived. Finally, whatever he exercises, the foolish things will appear. If you send [the sword] across this type of Athlete, you will drive [him] in the same direction, so that it is necessary to protect himself by taking out your cuts, and then you would freely practice the aspect of the art as often as you want, and also when you begin wrestling with the enemy.

USE OF THE SQUINTER ANOTHER against the longer point practice this gesture in this way, If you step close to the enemy, and he extends the sword against your face or breast, YOU hold the sword in position next to your right upper arm, and you invert turning back the sword in the side eye, afterwards pretend, as if you wanted to strike [using it (side eye)?], Truly strongly out of [the same] the strike which is called squinter by us having been sent forward using the long edge, strike his sword, thence truly adding the long point against the opponent's neck drive forward with an advance of[^2] the right foot.

A GESTURE, IN WHICH THE HAND of the enemy is struck IF the enemy stands against you in the method of the long sword, and YOU desire to hit his hand, then you want to strike together the face or the head as if with a squinter, truly feint, by shifting the purpose of the mind, thence you strike the hand.

METHOD, FROM WHENCE FROM BOTH SIDES you can practice the wild twin. You capture down by means of this method itself, In advance, if you would advance to the enemy, place the left foot in front, hold the sword next to the right upper arm, and if you would observe him above opposing you, then jump toward him with the right foot on your right side, and you compose yourself, as if you would freely wish to strike the head above from the left side of the adversary, in the same way you go before equally the defense having been employed, the strike truly having been dragged together, quickly spring the left foot forward against the adversary's right side, and in the same action you will pretend to want to strike his right side, but the strike having been drawn back again spring forward to his left side, and you should batter the same side courageously: and if meanwhile he will seek after your weaknesses, then oppose your sharp long edge, and set his forward attack aside, and you know how to exercise from this and the other side, and you are able to manage from the Transverse on both sides.

Various uses of his strike. by means of which the crown of the head is assailed. IT [is] the face strike. and the chest it is in the habit of being deceitful, in order to lie open below. I mention/name above THE[^5] posture [of] the guard of the poplar tree that took place , breaking and turning away. Therefore employ it in this way, If the adversary has prepared himself to join mutually in battle in the guard of the fool/poplar YOU would raise up the arms extending above the head in the guard of the day, and you advance your right foot against the enemy, you strike downwards strongly and from above with the long point sent forward, you strike/plunge the sword downwards into the face or breast of the enemy, repeatedly raising the arms, truly if the enemy would drive back using the action of the Crown, therefore in order that both the hilts of the sword are erected/upliftedby his sword and he lifts upward, and also twists the point of your sword, then stab/pierce the sword below the crown of the opponent inverted in his arm using the edge, thence if you press/follow/urge hard, his gesture will be ineffective, truly in the same gesture of urging/pressing hard you would gash him, and thence recede from him.

Regarding the plow The second guard is called the plow: it will be useful for you to adapt yourself in it using this manner, Set your left foot in front, hold the sword downward to the right side, your hands crossed over, place the pommel close to the right hip, thus, it is apparent that the short edge is higher/upward, the sword will in truth be extended against the face of the adversary.

Regarding the form, which is called the poplar tree by the Germans. The third guard is the poplar tree, adjust yourself into this posture, it is necessary to set your left foot in front, hold the sword in front of you with the arms extended, thus the point is leaning[^2] on the ground, so that the short edge is upward.

Tertius, qui à limis oculis appellationem sortitus est, is custodiam Aratri disrumpit. Quartus is est Ictus, quo vertex capitis adpetitur, qui custodiam Populi, ut nos Germani vocamus, repellit. quo autem modo certiores habitus ex praedictis Ictibus sint formandi, et qui habitus sint contra custodias, supra descripti sunt in Ictibus, quare si plagas cavere velis, nullos alios preter hos exerceas.

The first is that which is called Curved, of which it is mentioned above, it shifts the posture, or the guard of Ox. Second. the transverse, which repels the guard of the day. Third, which gets the name from side-eye, it disrupts the guard of Plow. Fourth is the Strike, which seeks the crown of the head, which repels that guard which our Germans call Poplar. In which way, however, certain conditions would be formed out of the preceding Strikes, and any who would be in a position against the guards, the above are described in the Strikes, for which reason if you wish to hit to cut through, practice no others besides these.

If the adversary would take out your Strength bearing it in[^3] for himself, neither does he want to shift away from the sword, truly he tries, nor(?) are you able to employ any actions, then next you will pretend as if you wanted to pull back, and you should drag together up to the middle, afterwards, having lifted it quickly, batter his head with the short edge, or in the gesture of doubling.

Therefore, conduct this action thus when applying the sword, if you have come to the enemy with the sword, the Athletic custom having been guided, then you would adapt yourself into the guard of the Ox, or the Plow if you prefer, and if the enemy would attempt to hit you (from) above or to thrust from his right side, you should anticipate intercepting it, up to the closest opening on his left side, you would drive forward the longer point, awaiting, if you could hunt, connecting the opportunity of the sword.

QUUM adversarius ictum longius deorsum direxerit, hoc autem fiet, si eum tu non exceperis, ictus .n.[^1] eo modo defertur: tu autem eius ictum feriundo consequutus sis, cum igitur celeriter is ensem rursus elevet, tuumque impetum excipiat, fortiter tunc acies ensis tui longa, ipsius ensi adiuncta remaneat, et si removere sursum conabitur, tum dextro hostis pedi sinistrum resiliendo postponas, atque transversario vel alio habitu caput ipsius de latere capitis dextro quassabis, inde vero celeriter versus alterum latus habitu duplationis seu alio genere ictus laborabis, iuxta observationem,[^2] num fortiter ensem, vel minus, teneat, atque haec forma dicitur externa.

Another of the preceding gesture When the adversary directs the longer strike downwards, this will take place, if YOU do not take it out, the strike flows down indeed in that same way: YOU, however, would overtake by hitting his strike, when therefore HE quickly raises his sword back, and intercepts your forward attack, strongly then your long edge, remains bound to his sword, and if he tries to shift upwards, then, springing back, you place the left after the right foot of the enemy, and by transversing or with another method, you will batter his head from the right side of the head, thence truly you will work quickly against the other side using an action of doubling or elsewhere to generate a strike, during close observation, now he holds the sword strongly, or less [so], and this is called the outward form.

ALIUS ITEM HABITUS. Si hostis longius feriundo deorsum fertur, et tu ictum ipsius consequeris. Si eius ensem contigeris versus latus ipsius sinistrum, et is celeriter ex praemunitione transversario latus tuum dextrum feriat, tunc tu transversarium exercendo, sub eius gladio irrumpendo, collum ex latere sinistro saucies, vel sinistro pede prosilias, in latus adversarij dextrum, ictumque eius itidem ictum tuo consequitor versus latus dextrum, vel incisionem brachijs iniectam versus caput eius usurpato.

Likewise another action. If the opponent is brought to longer striking below, and you (will) follow his blow. If it happens that his sword is against his left side,[^1] and HE strikes your right quickly from transverse defensive positions, then YOU employing the transverse, will have broken under his sword, you should wound the neck from the left side, or spring with the left foot, toward the adversary's right side, and follow his blow with your same blow against the right side, or make use of a cutting-into injecting the arm against his head.

ALIA RURSUS consequutionis Forma. QUUM contra adversarium inferos ictus exercens vel te componens in custodiam Populi ut vocant pugnas, et is ensem tuo coniungat priusquam levaris, tu remanens tollas ensem sursum: verum si ex praemunitione contra te ferire conetur, vel á tuo gladio intorquere[^2] suum tu curabis, ne ensem removere possit, atque ipsum sequens contra proximam nuditatem concertato. Hoc insuper observabis, ut eum instando urgeas ex omnibus custodijs, omnibusque ictibus, quamprimum cognoris, quem adversarius longius ictum rexerit, quam ut statim ensem attollere possit, atque quamprimum nudum[^3] se quacunque parte corporis id sit, exhibuerit.

ANOTHER FORM of the reversed pursuit/following. When you fight against the adversary practicing a strike from below or composed in the guard called Poplar, and HE contacts the sword ?with yours? before you raise up, continuing/remaining [below][^4] you lift the sword up high: Truly, if he attempts to strike against you from the fortification, or YOU will arrange[^5] to wrap his [sword] with your sword, he is not able to shift the sword, and [you] will fight following against his closest opening. You will observe the above, so that you press him hard in the attack with threatening from all guards, and from all strikes, you should learn to the highest degree possible, any longer strike the adversary directs, how much it is possible to immediately lift the sword and to the greatest extent the opening[^6] (the most exposed [bit]?) no matter what part of the body it would be[^7] he will present[^8]. alternative 12 (end) to 17: you should learn to the greatest degree, regardless of the longer strike directed by the adversary, how it is possible to lift the sword as much as possible to the most exposed [part] he will present, whatever part of the body that would be.

CAUTELA, QUA SENTITUR num hostis ensem firmiter vel non contineat. Inter ensis longioris habitus, excellentissimus omnius id est: sentire num hostis fortiter ensem teneat vel infirmiter. Secundum: ut crebros ictus contra hostem, atque id fiat velocissimé, exerceas. [^9] Et si quis huius artis magister haberi cupiat, nec predictos modo habitus noverit, nequamque glorietur se Athleticam tenere, quare in primis illa duo discenda sunt.

A caution, to any who perceive whether the opponent would hold his sword strongly or not. Among the gestures of the longer sword, "it"[^10] is the most excellent of all: to perceive whether the enemy would hold the sword strongly or weakly. Secondly: you should employ continuous strikes against the opponent, and make "it" very quick. [moved to line 6] And if a master wants to consider any of these arts, and has not studied the action in the preceding manner, and then he boasts worthlessly about comprehending Athletics, because the two have to be learned first of all.

You will understand the action by means of this method of sensing, If you have arrived at the enemy for sword fighting, and, from the initial onset, you [plural] have mutually contacted the swords, then during that mutual flash of the swords YOU must soon observe,[^4] whether he has contacted your sword more or less strongly,[^5] as soon as you have truly sensed IT [the contact], you should immediately be mindful of speed,[^6] that is to say, while, in that action of swiftest sensing, you are contesting with the enemy at the same time, [^9] and with this deep thrust, he will be wounded contrary to expectations.

Porró, sentire, et celeriter insuper crebris ictibus[^17] uti, illi duo habitus[^12] á se invicem divelli nequeunt, nec alterum absque altero usurpare tutó licebit. ex hoc igitur percipies. Si senseris, ut supra commemoratum est, illum infirmiter vel fortiter ensem tuum tetigisse, celerrimé utȇris crebris ictibus.[^11] nam hij duo habitus semper sunt coniuncti. Secundum autem, quod est, ut celer sis et velox: in omnibus habitibus usurpare poteris.

Furthermore, sensing and quickly using continuous strikes (as previously mentioned), those two things cannot be separated from each other, nor may the second be safely used without the former. therefore, you will understand from this. If you have sensed, that one to have weakly or strongly touched your sword, while [the] above was kept in mind,[^14] [then] you quickly use [it] within the timeframe of the continuous strikes. for these two things are always connected. And indeed the second, which is, while you are fast and quick:[^15] you can seize upon [it] in all conditions/actions. That is, during doubling, during changing about, during running across, during cutting into, during wrestling, while snatching the sword with this gesture, whatever you would want, [if] you will attempt, you will be able to exercise IT in particular against those [who are] persistently ignorant of this gesture/action.

The sequence of the cutting-into out of the applied form. You should make use of the sequences out of both sides while adding the cutting-into, grasp it thus. If the adversary had passed his long strike before your eyes from the right side, or the left, YOU! follow his strike courageously, with your sword against his opening. but if HE had raised lifted up the sword, and your sword had struck from below, while (during) being observed most carefully, in order that the swords will have been contacted to the greatest extent, you place your sword on top (or over [his]) from the long point, quickly at the shoulder of the enemy, and you press it down with this account, or, if you would prefer, you plow into the mouth/face[^16]. 9-10, 12-13 swapped from latin order

SUPERINIECTIO[^2] ENSIS. SI quis inferioribus Ictibus te fuerit adgressus, hoc modo contra te geras, si volveris commemorato habitu uti. Cum ad hostem accesseris, et is ab infernè contra te feriat, excipere ipsius impetum nolito, verum diligenter observato, cum ipsius ictus inferus tibi adpropinquarit, tu de humero[^3] dextro ictum porrectum ferias, indeque mucronem longiorem in faciem vel pectus adversarij propellas, nec non eum adplices, et proposito loco ensem adiungas, itaque fiet, ut infernè te adprehendere nequeat hostis.

The action of casting over of the sword If anyone approached you using strikes from below, you should conduct yourself in opposition in this way, if you wish to use the aforementioned action, When you have come near to the opponent, and HE strikes against you from below, you will refuse to intercept his forward attack, [you] will truly observe carefully, when his low strike drew near to you, YOU would strike an extended strike from the right upper arm, and thence you would thrust forward the longer point into the face or chest of the adversary, indeed you land [a strike] on him, and if you would connect the sword in the exposed place, it will therefore occur that the enemy is unable to overtake you from below. If HE raises the sword from below and he would intercept your forward attack, the long edge of your sword stays stuck firmly to the sword of the opponent, and thence you will quickly strive against his nearest opening. This will likewise have been been observed by you, if you have strongly contacted his sword, and HE tries to strike out of the fortification at your other side, then you wound his head using the long edge, and you work the prior [action] equally on both sides and against the openings.

The gesture and use of deflection You will practice THIS in this way, if you were to advance toward the adversary, and HE were to arrange himself as if he wanted to feint a thrust[^9], YOU[^7] place your left foot forward, and indeed, you would compose yourself in the plow against that one, out of your right side, and you should offer an openness in the left side to the enemy, When, therefore, he would attempt to stab the opening, you should divert the sword aside into your left side against his sword, and the short edge, you should join to his sword, and you deflect the forward attack of the enemy with this deep thrust, still extending the point against the enemy, the right foot having been joined behind the left, from there you should stab at the face or chest.[^8]

Another form of the preceding If you stand in the posture of the Plow on the right side, and the adversary attempts to strike the opening on the left side from above, YOU, having lifted the sword, turn it back against his strike toward the left side with the sword hilt positioned in the form of the Ox in front of your face, if you have joined the second foot to the right, thence thrust at the face or the chest of the adversary, and you could do IT from the Plow on the left side.

About the change-across or the Use of the sending across Diverse are the gestures and uses of the change-across, which you will be able to use from all strikes against gladiators, who strike more strongly against swords, than [against] openings, therefore, you will additionally learn to use them prudently, lest the enemy should seek you with the point, while YOU use the change across.[^2]

You will practice the change-across using this method. When you advance toward the opponent, you strike extended against his head attacking abovely, truly if HE strikes in opposition, attacking the sword and not the body, then send the point across below, before the adversary touches your sword, and you thrust against the other side. and if the enemy would have observed that this has taken place, and he will attempt to shift the forward attack, you will remember to send the sword across again in the direction of the other side, therefore employ this gesture as often as the adversary, protecting himself, opposes your sword on both sides.

Another form of the same.

drawing back of the sword This manner should be practiced against masters of Athletics, who, in the flash and clash of swords, have strongly increased a defense at the same time, And also against those, who do not withdraw from the conjunction of swords, awaiting whether the adversaries would want to direct a longer strike, or move the sword back [^2], If, therefore, you wish to deceive those masters, you use the sword in this manner by drawing back: you should strike from the right side fiercely against the head of the adversary, and if HE attempts to shift the forward attack, you draw the sword back before that one contacts it [the sword], thence moreover thrust at his other side, and use this gesture according to each contact at a time.

Running through, and about wrestling. You can use these conditions against gladiators, who are accustomed to run in, fearing wounds and strikes, Moreover, practice them in this way. When the adversary shifts your attack, and, his arms having been lifted, desires to attack, having wished to conquer YOU with his strength from above, YOU raise the arms quickly, and you lift up with the left hand the node of the sword above the head, the sword, drawn tightly, is inclined through the back, thence moreover, you thrust the head through his arms, toward his side, then also the right foot having been advanced. you have placed behind his right, and having leapt into him, you encircle the body of the enemy, from the left side with the right arm, and if you throw him using your right hip, cast down the adversary onto the head.

Another method of wrestling. If the adversary ran in with arms lifted, and YOU in turn do the same, then you should run through using the head in the direction of his right side, [subsumed into 6] you put/place the right foot foremost in front of the right [foot] of the adversary in the same way, and the right arm under his arm in the same way (the right having been stretched out), you will put [the arms] around the flanks of the opponent, and sink yourself downward a certain amount, thence if you cast him upon the right hip, cast the adversary off backwards, and practice this wrestling on both sides.

Another While the adversary is running in with raised arms, and YOU likewise would have stood in this way, hold the sword with the right hand, If thence he shifts his arm, place the left foot behind his right, (subsumed by 6) and you should stretch the left arm before his chest while seizing the left side, and if you place your left in his hip, you throw him back, therefore practice this wrestling on both sides.

On the other hand, if the adversary runs in with a sword, While dropping the arms [^2], you are not able to run through, You should make use of the subsequent gesture.

Sed si nolueris ferire, tum dextrum pedem prosiliendo[^4], adversarij sinistro postponas, atque brachio dextro collum ipsius antrorsum, vel retrorsum si circundederis, per genu dextrum eum prosternas.

If the enemy attacks with the sword lifted, in truth, with the hands somewhat lowered, if you shift the left [hand] from the sword, seize the right hand of the enemy on the inside between his other hand,[^3] thence turn back into his left side, and by holding the sword with the right hand strike the head abovely. But if you are not willing to strike, then while leaping forward with the right foot, place it behind the left of the adversary, and the right arm in front of his neck or in back of [his neck] if you have enveloped him, you strike him down by means of the right knee.

Another While the adversary runs in with a sword, but with his hands being lowered, shift your left hand from the sword as previously, you should direct the pommel using the right [hand] outwardly over the right hand of the opponent, and also press down: thence moreover if you seize his right elbow with the left hand and having leapt forward with the left foot, place [your left foot] in front of the enemy's right, you should press the adversary down using the same.

Gesture of slicing off This gesture shifts the wrapping from above of your sword, and it is necessary to handle it thusly. If you employ Athletics against the enemy using the strikes from below[^2], or if you arrange yourself in the guard, which is called Popular/Poplar by us, and HE places his sword over yours before you lift up the sword[^1], your sword remains in contact below under his sword, truly, if you will strongly raise using the short edge, and if HE presses down, then your sword having been shifted backwards and stealthily[^3] away from his, quickly wound the face abovely next to the opponent's sword.

ANOTHER FORM Which you will use together with the strike from below toward the enemy in the approach, or while you stand in the guard Popular/Poplar, and HE strikes your sword thus near the hilt, in order to incline the point into the right side, then quickly lift the pommel over his sword[^3], you injure the head of the opponent (the long edge having been sent forward). or if he strikes your sword from the left side, The pommel having been lifted more quickly, as before, above the sword of the enemy,[^4] you will batter his head violently using the short edge.

DE QUATUOR INCISIONIBUS DUAE sunt supernae, quae usurpantur contra Athletas, qui digladiantur ex praemunitionibus, vel collisionibus ensium, solentque ferire contra latus alterum, quod incisione hoc modo prohibere poteris. Si adversarius exceptione, vel aliâs ensis coniunctione ex latere sinistro, atque subitò transversario vel alio ictu dextrum latus ferire conetur, tum ictum vitabundus sinistro pede in latus adversarij dextrum prosilias, et aciem ensis longam, brachijs adversarij utrisque superimponas, incîdendoque reprimas, et eo habitu utrinque utêris, quoties ex praemunitione[^6] alterum latus appetierit.

Regarding the four slices Two are above, which are used against Athletes, who flourish the sword from defensive positions, or from collisions of the swords, and they are in the habit of striking against the other side, you will be able to prevent that in this way using the slice. If the adversary were to attempt with an interception, or another contacting of the swords from the left side, and if he were to attempt to strike the right side using a sudden transverse or other strike, then you, taking evasive action with respect to the strike, would jump with the left foot into the right side of the adversary, and you place the long edge of the sword on top above both arms of the adversary, and you would press back using a slice, and you use this gesture from both sides, as often as he assails the other side from the defensive position.

[104v.2] Item ainannders stückh wann du steest zu deiner rechten seiten Inn dem Pflug. hawt er dir dann zu der Linncken seiten oben zu der plösse so far auf mit dem schwert. vnnd winnde damit auf dein Lincken seiten gögen seinem haw / das gehiltz vor dem haupt In dem Ochssen vnd schreit damit zu dem rechten fus / vnd stich In zu dem gesichte oder der brust / vnd die stuck treib von der lingken seitenn auch also aus dem Pflug

The two lower slices are practiced against gladiators running in arms lifted: during this therefore use this method, as often as the adversary strikes your sword out of the first approach, and he has lifted the arm, and he runs in to the left side, you will change your sword so, that the thumb stands below, the long edge in the same way stands below the hilt of the sword of the enemy, it would reach as far as his other arm, out of this form you should stretch toward (him) using a high slice, or if he runs in, the arms having been raised up against your right side, shift the sword backward so that the thumb stands below, the short edge is in the same way placed below with respect to the hilt of the adversary, touching the arm, and if you lift up, duly use this condition.

A method, from which high cutting-ins from out of below are changed and may be shaped learn it thoroughly in this way, If the adversary runs in against the left side with raised arms, then turn the long edge of your sword under the hilt arranged in the arm of the opponent, and fiercely stretch upward, thence advancing toward his right side, meanwhile the pommel having been turned below you should not shift the sword away from the arms of the adversary, then the sword having been turned back out of the lower cutting into the upper [cutting], the long edge having been let through over his arm, and rightly you have used this gesture.

[105r.2] Item die Durchwechslen treib allso Wann du mit dem zufechten zu Im kompst. so haw Im oben Lannckh ein zum köpf. hawet Er dann gögen dir zum schwert. vnnd nit zum leyb. so lass den Ort mit dem haw vnnden durchwischen.

But if, however, the enemy attacks/runs in towards the right side having lifted his arm in this way, then you place the sword under below his sword hilt, the long of the sword having been turned back into the arm, and lift firmly, thence if you proceed toward the left side of the adversary, the pommel having been transferred below, after you turn back the long edge above the arm of the enemy from/out of the long edge into the form of the slice, and thence you drive back.

REGARDING THE TWO ANGLES of casting the sword over THESE angles are nothing other, than the postures of the Plow from both sides in which [postures] it is essential and also permitted to observe, whether the adversary holds the sword strongly or not enough, during the blows and thrusts, then also during the first flashing of the sword. And in addition to this, KNOW the four wrappings that are to be practiced, and out of these you can form any single strike, thrust, and cutting-in from above.

DE FENESTRA PATULA SUPRA commemoratum est, qua ratione in quatuor praedictas custodias ense regendo Athleticé te componere necesse sit.

REGARDING THE WIDE-OPEN WINDOW It was called to mind[^3] above, a method by which it is essential to compose yourself athletically, the sword having been directed in the four aforesaid guards. Now therefore you would understand that posture, from which we start/originate, to be the guard, in which you can most safely stand, moreover the guard itself is the point[^4], of the long edge, here namely is the best part of the sword, and the noblest: if any therefore practice properly out of the same Athletics[^5], consequently they round up the adversaries, in order that the reluctant will be wounded.

On the other hand, you will form the wide open window in this way. If, in view of the adversary, you moved forward, the sword being properly directed, employing whatever stroke, whether from above or from below, then immediately after the long point, the lower arm having been extended equally from the strike, you strike against the face or the chest of the enemy, and, in this deep thrust, you press him hard in the attack up to having defended himself, or he will strike your sword in the first approach, therefore, if he would do this, the long edge of your sword would stick fiercely to his sword ;[^7] and in the meantime, you would diligently observe with the strong and unwearied mind, what gesture the adversary wants to practice, if the enemy withdraws from your sword, with your sword following, seek his face or chest. But if in truth he attempts to strike your other side from the first flashing approach, you would strongly cut the arm of the adversary in turn, and work diligently against his head. Truly if the adversary neither withdraws from your sword, nor does he want to strike the other side, then use doubling or another from whatever gesture close to[^8] that which you perceive/feel him to hold his sword strongly or weakly.

[106r.2] Item ein ander Zücken Wann er dir an dein Schwert gebvnnden hat steet er dann gögen dir am schwert vnnd wart ob du dich vom schwert wollest abzieche. so thuo als du wollest zucken vnnd bleib am schwert vnnd zuckh dein schwert biss ann die hellft der klinngen an dich. vnnd stich Im am schwert bald wider ein zum gesicht oder der.

the longest long point of all is the best posture, and in fact the adversary is driven in that direction using the same, if you threaten, in order that he were not even able to employ any gestures, on account of which you should employ it in (regard to) all strikes against his face or chest, and thence you would form various further/extended postures.

Etiam isthuc Fenestra patula adpellatur : Cum ferme in conspectum adversarij fueris progressus, sinistrum pedem praeponas, atque mucronem longum brachijs porrectis contra adversarij faciem vel pectus protendas, priusquam eius ensem contigeris, eaque ratione consistas quid ferire, vel quos habitus contra te sit usurpaturus prospectans. Cum superné feriat, tum sublato ense, eum contra ictum ipsius convertas in Bovis habitum, et inde visum pungas. Sin autem ensem tantum ferire studeat corpore neglecto, audacter transmutato et alterum latus pungito, Sin autem incurrat elevatis brachijs, infernam incisionem usurpato, at si ea demiserit, luctari poteris, ea itaque ratione quoscunque habitus per brachia usurpare licebit, qui tibi optimi videbuntur.

And also the wide-open window is addressed on this point: When you would be approaching nearly in view of the adversary, place the left foot in front, and stretch the long point against the face or chest of the adversary, the arms having been extended, until you contact his sword, and you stand to strike anyone using that method, or look forward at which gesture would have been made use of against you. When he strikes above, then the sword having been lifted, you should turn against his thrust in(to) the Ox posture, and thence thrust at the face. But if, however, he desires to strike only to the sword, the body having been disregarded, bravely change-about and thrust at the other side, but if, however, he runs in (the arms having been raised), use a low cutting-in, and if he sends that away, you can wrestle, therefore by this method, the gesture permits overthrowing anyone by the arms, which would seem best to you.

On wrappings with the sword You need to have been practiced in those individual conditions, In order that you can practice them quickly, and for every attack of the adversary, which is used against you, you could wisely move back. Also if you recall there to be four origins of the angles, two above, and also two likewise below. The above ones are indeed called Ox, While belowly Plow on both sides. Truly out of the four aforesaid angles eight wrappings are formed, and you should observe them diligently, in order that from any wrapping you bring out in particular one strike, thrust, and slice.

Now truly perceive, in which manner you can form eight wrappings out of the four angles, The first [angle] has two wrappings, you should therefore practice these using this following method, When you go together with the enemy, your sword being directed for Athletics, you should stand in the posture of Ox from the right side, and if HE strikes abovely against your left side, then in the path[^8] of his blow, you should twist the sword, so that you apply the short edge of your sword, to his blade in the posture of Ox, and thence don't hesitate to thrust at him in the face, and THIS gesture is called wrapping. But if, however, the adversary tries to shift that forward attack from[^9] the left side, your sword should remain bound to his sword, and you should thence twist the sword backwards on your right side in the posture of Ox, such that the long edge, touches his sword, and dig above and backwards at the face of the opponent, and IT is a posture called Angle from the right side[,] the two wrappings having been employed[^11] on the sword of the opponent.

[107r.3] Item aber Ainannder Rinngen wann er dir einlaufet vnnd ist hoch mit den armen vnnd du auch. so soltu dein schwert Inn der rechten hannd hallten. vnd so stöss Im damit sein arm von dir / vnnd sprinng mit dem Linncken fuosz hinder sein gerechten vnnd far mit dem Linncken arm. vnnden durch vor seinner prust. Inn seinn Linncke seiten. vnnd fass In auf dein Lincke hufft vnnd wirf In hinder dich. die zway rinngen treib auch zu baiden seiten

Secundam ensis superiniectionem[^12] hac ratione exerceto additis duabus alijs. Si in conspectum adversarij fueris progressus, de latere sinistro in Bovis habitu consistas : et si hostis superne contra latus dextrum tuum feriat, tum aciem ensis tui longam, ipsius ensi adplices, atque superne visum ipsius pungas, et is habitus intorsio est, sin autem punctionem eam repellat versum latus suum dextrum, remaneas ab ipsius ense haerens, inde autem subito rursus in latus sinistrum ensem torqueas in habitum Bovis, ita ut brevis acies adversarij ensi adplicetur, atque ex hac forma superné visum hostis pungas, idque est secunda superiniectio de latero sinistro adhibitis rursum duabus in ense hostis intorsionibus.

Practice the second method to cast the sword over, two others having been added. If you stepped forward into view of the adversary, you stand in the Ox from the left side: and if the opponent strikes above against your right side, then you apply[^13] the long edge of your sword, to his sword, and thrust above at his face, and THIS gesture is the wrapping, but if, however, he drives that thrust back toward his right side, you stay by adhering to his sword, thence also you twist the sword back on the left side into the posture of the Ox, so that the short edge is applied to the sword of the adversary, and out of that form you thrust at the face of the enemy abovely, and THAT is the second method to cast over from the left side, the two wrappings having been used in turn on the sword of the enemy.

Observandum tibi insuper erit, ex duabus infernis proclinationibus itidem quatuor intorsiones exercendas eße, quod est Aratrum utrinque, ut super memoratum est, adhibitis earum habitibus singulis ex superno ictu formatis. Quoties igitur cunque intorsionum generibus voles uti, semper ictus, punctionis, atque incisionis memor esto, quos habitus usurpare ut supra dictum est, oportet[^14].

It will have been observed to you above, four wrappings are likewise to be employed from the two lower forward angles, because the Plow is on both sides, in order that it is remembered on top of that, [that] every gesture of these [feminine - wrappings or forward angles] having been employed are formed from the strike from above.[^15] therefore, as often as is proper, whenever you want to make use of the class of wrappings, always be mindful of the strike, thrust, and cut, in order to make use those gestures as was said above.

[107v.2] Item wann Er dir einlaufft. Im schwert Vnnd hellt die hennd Nider. so verker dein Linncken hannd. vnnd begreif damit sein rechte. Innwendig zwischen seinnen baiden hennden. vnnd ruckh damit auf dein Lincken seiten. vnnd mit der rechten schlag. In mit dem Schwert vber den köpf / oder wildu. In nit schlagen. so sprinng mit dem rechten fuosz hinder seinnen Lincken. vnd far Im mit dem rechten Arm vorn oder hinnden vmb den hals. vnnd wirf In also. vber dein rechts knnie.

Igitur ex octo intorsionibus proveniunt viginti quattuor habitus tot enim octo ex sese pariunt. Qua autem ratione iis sit utendum, et contra quos habitus,[^2] nec non quomodo formentur aut quando sit usurpandum, partim in superioribus, partim vero ex subsequentibus cognosci potest.

Therefore from eight windings you can find twenty-four gestures, namely as many as the eight produce from themselves. Moreover, one would use these (24) for whichever method, and against those gestures, and also, how it is formed or when it is to be used, you can find some in the preceding, some in the following.[^3]

[107v.3] Item Aber ainannder Rinngen Wann er dir einlaufft Im schwert. vnnd ist nider mit den hennden.
