Complete Translation by Christian Trosclair	Complete Translation (Salzburg only) by Jeffrey Hull	Complete Translation (Salzburg only) by Jens P. Kleinau	Salzburg Version (1491)  by Dierk Hagedorn	Glasgow Version (1508)  by Dierk Hagedorn	Rostock Version (1570)  by Dierk Hagedorn
[1] Hereafter written is a new recital of the long sword and an extraction from the previous recital and many other good plays from other master's hands Master Martin Syber had set together and is partitioned in six courses. And the ox and the plow and the part-hew named therein, together with other hews have another art and explanation than in the first recital and also approaches differently.	[1] Thusly Master Mertin Siber has made and set the new summary written hereafter. It is a teaming of manifold masterly skirmishes. It is dealt and set into six goings. And in the summary are the ox, the plough, and the skull-hew—not thus as in the first summary of the book, rather together in explanation.	[1] The hereafter written new markverses had been made and written by Martin Siber, and it is a piece from various masters plays and is divided in six plays. And in the verses are the Ox and the Plow and Parting Strike, not {to understand} as in the first verses of the book, but in another interpretation.	[1r] Item dye hernach geschriebenn nüwe zettell hat gemacht vnd gesetz meinster mertin Siber vnd ist ein zuck auß mangerley meinster gefechtenn vnd ist geteiltt vnd gesetz In sechs geng Vnd in der zittell ist der ochß vnd der pflug vnd scheyttell haulb nicht also als in der ersten zettell des puchs Sunder eyñ ander vß legüng	[24v] Hernach geschribn ist ain newe zetl des langen schwerts vnd ein außzug aus der voringen zetl / vnd vil ander guetter stuck võ manches maisters handt / die hat zu samen gesetzt maister Martein Syber vnd ist getailt in segs geng / Vnd der ochß vnd der pflueg darin genant mit sambt ettlichen hewen hat ain ander art vnd auslegung da in der voringen zetl vnd gett auch anderst zu /	[39v] Das hernach geschribenn ist ein newe tzetel des lanngenn schwerts vnnd ein auszug aus der vorigenn tzetelnn, vnnd vil annder guter stuck, von manches meisters handt, die hat tzusamen gesetzt meister Merten Siber, vnnd ist getailt in Sechs genng, Vnnd der Ochs vnd Pflug darin genent, mit sampt etlichenn hewenn, hat ein annder artt, vnnd auslegung dan in der vorgemelten tzetelnn vnnd gehet auch anders tzu.
[2] Now here begins the forward and lessons of the recital, thereafter the six courses. Whoever wishes to acquire honor  Before princes and before lords In fencing with the sword  That is good and proper. That follow my lessons,  They triumph continually. Hold the six courses in guard  They are quite praiseworthily good In them is encapsulated well  Many good masters' wisdom From Hungary, Bohemia, Italy,  From France, England, and Alemannia, From Russia, Prussia, Greece,  Holland, Provence, and Swabia. In them, you shall tread left  Thereby remember the deception In thrusting, lash strongly  So you may well succeed If you see the window standing open,  Enter them from there Strike or thrust swiftly  So you may fail hard In the work, tread around.  That makes-good the first-pass If you now wish to undertake this,  You must have a strong spirit Proper understanding is also good  Guard yourself from great wrath To such, bring the parrying to them.  Through that, you may well succeed. In all your fencing, be swift.  This forward has an end.	[2] Now heave yourself at the foreword and the lore of the summary, and thereafter, the six goings. Whosoever will earn honour  before princes and before lords in fighting with the longsword,  he is good and rightful, who follows my lore,  he is blessed evermore. The six goings hold wards  which are quite preciously good, wherein is wealful comprehension  of the cunning of quite many goodly masters: from Hungary, Bohemia, Italy;  from France, England and Alemania; from Russia, Prussia, Greece,  Holland, Provence and Swabia. In the goings, should you tread left,  while then, bethink the misleading. In thrusting press strongly,  so may you achieve it well. When you sight through the window, stand open,  see through it, go to it, strike or stab swiftly,  so may you be hard-felled. In the work tread roundabout—  thus the daring fellow wins out. Will you raise and strengthen yourself—  then you must have the right, yet reason is also good.  Ward yourself from great wrath, bring forsetting to such,  thereby may you achieve it well when in all your fighting you are nimble.  This forelore ends.	[2] Now begins the foreword and lore of the markverses, thereafter the six plays. Who will earn honor  In front of lords and masters In fighting with the sword,  {By all} that is good and rightly, Who follows my lore,  Wins evermore, The six plays well hold in regard,  They are highly praised good, In them well included is  Many a good master’s trick From Hungary, Bohemia, Italy,  From France, England, and Germany, From Russia, Prussia, Greece,  Holland, Provence, and Swabia. In them you should step left  Consider to seduce with it, In thrusts strongly press,  So it may work out for you. If you see a window open,  Look inside, leave it And strike or thrust fast.  So you may toughly fall {on him}. In the working step slantwise,  Take part in the engagement. If you want to begin this  A strong {courage} you must have. Proper prudence is also good,  Of great rage you beware. To such parrying bring him  By this you may succeed. In all your fighting be nimble,  The common lore has an end.
