Latin 29r

Page:MS Latin 11269 29r.jpg

Iste motus quo privo virum ludendo mucrone
Dicitur a cunctis sopranus dexter in armis.
Quem multis vicibus ego Florius ipse probavj.



Accipiens ensem / medianum protinus ictum
Efficio / mucrone premens tua membra furentj
Vel proprio / vel forte tuo quem credis adesse.

Italian

This taking of the sword is called Above; 
Which Fiore Furlano made a thousand times and more. 

Here I make the taking of the sword in the middle, 
And I will give you grief with my sword or yours. 

English 29r

 
This movement, by means of which I rob the man with the sword during play,
Is called High on the Right by everyone in arms.
I, Florius, have tested this myself in many exchanges.


Grabbing the sword, I immediately execute a middle strike[1]
Overwhelming your limbs with the raging tip, or with your own [sword]
Or with your luck, which you trust is present

  1. If the line we have interpreted as a comma after ensem is not a comma, then an alternate reading would be: Grabbing the sword in the middle, I immediately execute a strike.
