Whoever leads well and breaks well, and finally quite complete*, and especially breaks every single one of the three wounders. Whoever hangs quite well and brings the windings with it. There are eight windings and, when considered correctly, there are three single windings within each one; thus there are twenty-four, if every single one is counted from both sides. Learn eight windings with steps and test the encounters for nothing more than soft or hard.

97r a English smoothed

You should practice those individual conditions, so that you can practice them quickly, and you could wisely move back whatever is used against you in every attack by the adversary.

Also, if you recall there to be four origins of angles: two above and also two below. The ones above are called Ox, and Plow below on both sides. Eight wrappings are formed from the four aforesaid angles, and you should observe them diligently in order that you bring out in particular one strike, one puncture, and one cutting into from any wrapping.

97r a notes

• [^1]: the only q~as in cappelli is quas, but it looks different. the qs that might be similar to this q aren't things you can easily add "as" to. Going from the Cappelli introduction 4.34 (bent really far), our q~ would be quid, to make quidas [quitas], the imperfect of queo, to be able to.
• [^2]: collapsed (syncopated) form of noveris, from nosco noscere
• This section has a different writing style and teaching style-- could some of the words be used differently too? removere was used transitively in most of the text, but not here, so "withdraw" or "move back" might work better than "shift"

97r b English

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

97r b English smoothed

Now, you should truly perceive, how you can form 8 wrappings from 4 angles.

The first [angle] has two wrappings; therefore you should exercise these using the following method. When you step toward the enemy, your sword being directed for Athletics, you should assume the Ox stance on the right side, and if HE attacks your left side from above, then you should twist your sword into the path of his blow, so that you apply the short edge of your sword to his blade in the position of the Ox, and do not hesitate to prick him in the face. And THIS gesture is called wrapping.

However, if the adversary tries to shift the forward attack from the left side, you should keep your sword bound to his sword and you should then twist the sword backwards on your right side into the Ox, such that the long edge will touch his sword. Dig above and backwards at the opponent’s face. And THIS is an angled posture from the right side, and the two wrappings have been used on the opponent’s sword.

• [^4]: whitaker won't tell me what case this is (so i might have the relationship between wrappings and angles wrong)
• [^6]: not sure what this refers to.
• [^7]: We should probably do a consistency review on remaneat; adiunctus remaneat only appears one other place, but there are several instances of just remaneo that we did differently every time.
• [^9]: I don't think "de" contains any secret clarity about whose left it is; "from" seems better than "of" to me.
• [^11]: consistency review: this has appeared a few times and we've flipped between employed and applied. Also, check DMLBS-- whitaker shows the first few senses are about summoning, inviting and that might be interesting to preserve

• http://logeion.uchicago.edu/pacisco logeion says pacto may come from deponent weirdness pacisco
• I went with manner, because it fits all the cases, since it mostly sees to refer to doing something X way.
• Here's a medieval latin textbook that gives "quo pacto" as "in what manner": `https://books.google.com/books?id=1kR0AgAAQBAJ&lpg=PT147&ots=L1vhQ7TgdK&dq=%22pacto%22%20medieval%20latin&pg=PT147#v=onepage&q=%22pacto%22%20medieval%20latin&f=false`

Athleticae

• [^5]: RG: wtf is this doing here?
• dative of advantage or dative or purpose and result.
• conclusion: whatever dative construction is going on, it probably uses "for."
• maybe for the sake of?

in the way of

• [^8]: ie obstructing? (obviam)
• http://logeion.uchicago.edu/obviam dmlbs offers "so as to meet" and "oppose with hostile intent" (plus other subsequent senses)
• the other useful thing from logeion: obviam is sometimes a contraction of ob+viam

97r c English

1. Practice in this way the second throwing upward of the sword, two others having been added.
2. If you stepped forward into view of the adversary,
3. you stand in the Ox from the left side:
4. and if the opponent strikes above against your right side,
5. then you apply[^13] the long edge of your sword,
6. to his sword,
7. and prick his face above,
8. and THIS gesture is the wrapping,
9. but if, however, he drives that puncture back against his right side,
10. you stay by adhering to his sword,
11. thence also you twist the sword back on the left side into the posture of the Ox,
12. so that the short edge is applied to the sword of the adversary,
13. and out of that form you prick the face of the enemy abovely,
14. and THAT is the second/next throwing upward from the left side, the two wrappings having been used in turn on the sword of the enemy.

97r c English smoothed

Practice the second angle of the sword like this, with two additions. If you have advanced on the adversary, take an Ox position on the left side, and if the opponent strikes above on your right, then apply the long edge of your sword to his and prick his face above, and THIS condition is the wrapping.

But if, on the other hand, he drives your puncture back against his right side, you should keep your sword clinging to his, then twist your sword back on the left side into the Ox position so that the short edge is applied to the sword of the adversary, and from this position, you prick the face of the enemy above, and THAT is the second case of angling the sword from the left side.

The two wrappings have both been used in turn on the sword of the enemy.

• The text says "the second throwing upward of the sword," but since that's confusing and this is the second one of a set, we've used the label from the first one of the set instead.

97r c notes

• [^12]: superiniectionem: Could these two words have been used so often in conjunction that they became a compound? this rendering is from the sense of "throw up and over, like throwing ballast overboard"

Whittaker offers throw/hurl for inicio and apply for iniecio. So, throw upward if speed is required here and apply upward if precision/finesse is preferred.

• [^13]: the verb is moved from the following line to make sense in the English.
• consistency check: should rursum be "in turn" (or "back at him" et c)? Go back and look at all of those "back backwards" we've done. DMLBS appears to support a strong sense of "Back the way you came, back again, once again"
• Also, note that earlier in the text superiniectio is the title used for uberlaufen, but here it seems to be used to name a wrapping action

1. Observandum tibi insuper erit,
2. ex duabus infernis proclinationibus itidem quatuor intorsiones exercendas eße,
3. quod est Aratrum utrinque,
4. ut super memoratum est,
5. adhibitis earum habitibus singulis ex superno ictu formatis.
6. Quoties igitur cunque intorsionum generibus voles uti,
7. semper ictus, punctionis, atque incisionis memor esto,

97r d English

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

97r d English smoothed

As has been observed above, you should practice the four wrappings from the two lower, inclined positions, a.k.a. the Plow on both sides, and you should recall on top of that, that all of these gestures [wrappings and forward angles involving the Plow] are arrived at from an initial strike from above, and from these positions, you can freely angle and wrap. Therefore, as often as is proper, whenever you want to use wrappings, always be mindful of the strike, puncture, and incision so that you can seize upon the gestures mentioned above.

97r d notes

• [^14]: read with 6 as the outside of the nested clauses
• [^15]: all of these positions, both Oxen and Plows, are arrived at from an initial strike from above, and from these positions, you can lean and twirl [with abandon]

• interesting, re parallel constructions: the windings/twirlings section doesn't have any "vel" constructions, even though what's being described is a system with lots of parallels. (do this on both sides, above and below, you can do four twirlings from two lower leanings...)
