| − | | Illustrious and Very Mighty Prince etc Philip! Since the excellent art of fighting has not been invented by mediocres nor people of minor importance and by no means from the nature of the thing, but by magnificent men of sharpest ability, and so that military exercises be proven by it, you master rightfully this art with greatest vigilance to whatever place You will and commonly and in armour, as much as it belongs to a Prince, and You soundly have both its art and practice.

| |
| − | | However, since every art increases from day to day and desire for experiencing gradually grows and finally old things give ground to new ones, Johannes Lecküchner of Nürnberg, most obedient to Your Great Might, has skillfully made from the workshop of his ability not a few points in Messer, worth Your attention, not only in fighting but also in defending, which whether indeed are worth praising and are estimated as lordly, everyone has verified in the long course of passed time and in numerous regions of the world.

| − | | Verumtamen quom ars indies quevis accrescit experimendique cupido sensim augetur vetera denique novis cedunt, Ipse Johannes Leckuchner ex Nurnberg multipotentie tuae obsequentissimus in cultro non pauca spectatum tuum digna ingenii sui ex officina fabrifecit non modo dimicandi verumetiam tuendi puncta quae siquidem et laude digni herilia censent quiquidem has res multenui temporis transfluxii multiplicibus terre in oris actuauit

| − | | Moreover, so that he not be considered as claiming some arrogance to his name, he asks it to be called not an art but a petty art, which will admonish out of itself in this matter, which, whether can be considered as an art, needs to be clarified with hand, wheresoever he is by no means reluctant.
| |
| − | | Neu autem arrogantiae quodpiam vendicare '''[115v]''' sibi nomine videatur eam non artem sed articulam quae ex sese hac in re admuenerit appellari rogat quam tunc an ars censeri habeat manu luci dari haud quamque eum piget

| − | | Since he himself offers a text in this vernacular petty codex to Your Great Might, who considers You more worth of this matter than many other men, because of both brilliance of Your ability and Your bodily integrity and also because of Your jollity towards books

| − | | Quom textem una quoque semet vulgari hoc in codicillo multipotenciae tue litat qui te huiusce rei preter ceteros complures tum ob ingenii tui claritudine tum ob corpoream ipsam tuam idemtitatem et item pro paginis tue ob festivitatem dignum ducit

| − | | Therefore, so that also the very matter suit Your Great Might, he rightfully proved the points included below with true experience one after another, and today, so that it pleased Your Magnificence (as he obliged himself above), he promises to prove it today

| − | | Ideopropterea ut et res ipsa multipotentie tue congruat singula infra conclusa reali experimento saepe merito singulariter coprobauit atque hodie magnificentiae tue ut coplaceat (veluti supra se obligavit) hodie comprobare spondet;

| − | | Thus, farewell, oh Very Mighty Prince, and Johannes, most prepared in obedience to all Your Great Might, desires eagerly that You not only exercise Your great ability and body in this matter, but that You also overcome, destroy by means of this matter all the men anticipating to struggle against Your Might and You subdue them like Hector the jokers.
