The MS E.1939.65.341 is a German fencing manual created in 1508.[1] The original currently rests in the R. L. Scott Collection of the Glasgow Museums in Glasgow, United Kingdom. It 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 Glasgow Fechtbuch is significant for a few reasons. First, it contains the earliest illustrated gloss of Johannes Liechtenauer's Recital (Paulus Kal's illustrated treatises are older, but they don't contain explanatory text). Additionally, the manual repeats a few treatises whose relation to Liechtenauer's tradition might otherwise be unclear, such as Martin Syber's New Recital and the teachings of the "other masters" of the MS 3227a. Their appearance here goes some way toward authenticating these treatises as connected to Johannes Liechtenauer.
