The Berlin Sketchbook (Libr. pict. A 83) is a German manuscript thought to have been created in the workshop of Albrecht Dürer as preparation for his fencing manual of 1512 (MS 26-232).[1] The original currently rests in the holdings of the Staatsbibliothek zu Berlin in Berlin, Germany. This manuscript was a sketchbook, not a true fencing manual, and its focus is on accurately depicting the fighters rather than on explicating their techniques. It seems to be connected in some way to the Nuremberg manuscript group, and also incorporates the dagger content from Hans Talhoffer's 1448 manuscript and sword and buckler devices of unknown origin.
