The MS Chart.A.558 is a German fencing manual created in ca. 1448 and often attributed to Hans Talhoffer.[1] The original currently rests in the holdings of the Universitäts- und Forschungsbibliothek Erfurt/Gotha in Gotha, Germany. This is the earliest of the five manuscripts attributed to Talhoffer, and unlike the others, his level of involvement is unclear. It is believed that he put it to personal use as a visual aid for his students.
