Latin 13v

Page:MS Latin 11269 13v.jpg

Sum situs hic brevior. longumque remetior[1] ensem.
Cuspide sepe[2] minor. illuc tamen inde revertor(?).

Laevus[3] e:go situs ipse vocor / Veraeque fenestrae.
Sic celer in dextra velut hac sum nempe sinistra.

Protrahor in terram situs en caudatus. et ante /
Postque ago persaepe traiectis ictibus ictus[4].

Nominor a cunctis certe situs ipse[5] bicornis.
Nec pete quam falsus / quam sim nunc callidus in te

Italian

I am the Short Stance and I have the sword's length;
Often I thrust the point and then return with cunning.

[19a-a] Io son posta breve e o de spada lungeça
Spesso meto punta e in lei torno in freça

I am the left Stance of the True Window;
I am just as swift in this one as from the right.

[19a-b] Io son la stancha posta de vera finestra
Cussi dela drita como de questa son presta

Stance of the Long Tail, I am extended to the ground
Forward and backward, I always make offense:
And if I step forward and enter with a downward blow,
I come to the narrow play without fail.

[19a-c] Posta de coda lunga son in terra destesa
Denançi e dedredo sempre io faço offesa
E se passo innançi e entro in lo fendent
E vegno al'streto zogho senza faliment

I make myself called the Stance of the Two-horned Anvil  
If I have enough deceit, I will not challenge it.

[19a-d] Posta de bicornio io me faço chiamar
Si io ho falsitade asaii non men domandar

English 13r


I am the short stance here. And I move the sword back [to its original position].
I often threaten with the point. Yet I thenceforth return back to that place.

I am called the left position itself and the True window.
Thus swift on the right side just as I naturally am here on the left.

Behold the tailed position, I am pulled forward on the ground. I very often do
the strike before and after, while the strike is beaten through


  1. ↑ potentially remeatio, but written as *tior to rhyme with brevior, minor, and revertor
  2. ↑ Or "saepe" (often), which may be more likely than "sepe" (hedge or defensive barrier)
  3. ↑ More likely laevus than levus
  4. ↑ The last word seems faded
  5. ↑ Added later: "scilicet ego."
