Catalog quotes

Wierschin 20-21:

Liechtenauer's fencing art with the glosses of a Sigmund Schninig patron of the Bavarian Duke Albrecht (obviously this is a case of a distortion of the name; these are the changed and very fragmentary glosses of the Dresden manuscript of the patron Sigmund Ringeck edited here), which according to the writer (21r) by other masters, especially by master Hansen Niedel from Salzburg, and improved. It is possible that this master is the author or scribe of the text, which was later bound together with the preceding and following parts of the manuscript. The text is illustrated with clear and well-executed ink drawings, which fill almost half a page and are inserted into the text at intervals of two to three pages. The illustrations are tone on tone and show ocher coloring of the hands and faces of the depicted fencer couples.
