The Cod.icon. 394a is a German fencing manual created by Hans Talhoffer in 1467[1] for Graf Eberhardt von Württemberg.[citation needed] The original currently rests in the holdings of Bayerische Staatsbibliothek in Munich, Germany. This is Talhoffer's final work, as well as the only one with a lengthy treatment of unarmored fencing at the long sword.
