Ludwig (VI) von Eyb "the Younger" (1450 - 1521)[citation needed] was a 16th century German knight from Hartenstein, Germany. He seems to have been an accomplished soldier, including fighting in the Landshut War of Succession in 1504.[citation needed] He also produced a fencing manual as well as at least one tournament book (the Cgm 961, 1519).

Among Eyb's writings is the MS B.26, which is similar to the Codex 5278 in that it consists of both a copy of Konrad Kyeser's popular treatise on siege warfare Bellifortis ("Battle Strength") and a version of the treatise known as die Blume des Kampfes ("The Flower of Battle"). This manuscript complex might be based on the tradition of 14th century Italian master Fiore de'i Liberi given that his works include considerable technical overlap, but it is more likely that they represent an earlier German tradition of which Fiore was himself an initiate. Eyb's work is the only currently known member of the group which contains detailed descriptive text as well as illustrations, and significantly the text is not translated from Liberi's own treatises.
