Brief statement of the character of the longer sword First, you should undertake in all things that you worship and love God, you should honor the feminine sex, and your fame will be increased by this means: therefore, you should learn, any of these things would be fitting, use the force and strength of oaks everywhere and in (beautiful) war, thus that your fortitude is approved by all.

Prima admonitio, primum operam dabis, ut Ictus, qui mox describentur, artificiose ferire possis more Athletico, si fortem gladiatorem te exhibere volveris. Cum pedem sinistrum praefixeris, atque de latere dextro ferias, iam deceptus, et ictus est falsus, [^1] nam dextrum latus non sequetur, et ictus brevior, quam par est, apparebit, neque vero ad dextrum latus rite potest exerceri.   Sin autem dextrum praeposueris, et de latere sinistro ferias, nec sinistro fueris subsequutus, tum rursus falleris. [^2] ea propter curabis, ut, si de latere dextro ictum regis, statim subsequaris pede itidem dextro in ipso ictu. Idem facies, si de sinistro ferias, et ea ratione commodissime corpus adcommodabis, ictusque porrecti et more gladiatorio formabuntur.

First reminder, first you will dedicate the work, so that the Strike, which will soon be described, you will be able to strike skillfully in the custom of Athletics, if you would have wished to produce a strong gladiator. When you set the left foot in front, and strike to[^3] the right side, now he/it has been deceived, and the strike is false, on the other hand, if he/it will not follow on the right side and it will be clear that a short blow, however suitable it is, [moved to 12] truly cannot be employed properly toward the right side.   but if, however, you should set the right before, and strike from the left side, and do not follow immediately with the left, then you are deceived in turn. Take care, on account of these things, so that, if you direct the blow from the right side, you would immediately follow with the right foot likewise in the same thrust. You will do the same, if you strike from the left, and you will adapt the body at the right moment to this method, and the extended strikes are shaped by gladiatorial custom.

[2]  Here it begins, a good general lesson of the long sword, yet there is much good, concealed art locked herein. 9 If you wish to examine the art,  Go left and right with cutting 10 And left with right  If you desire to fence strongly. The first lesson of the long sword is that before anything you should learn to cut correctly. That is, if you wish to otherwise fence strongly. Look at it like this. When you stand with the left foot forwards and cut from your right side, this cut is then spurious and incorrect. Because when your right side remains behind it, the cut becomes too short thereby and its correct path down to the other side in front of the left foot cannot happen. [3] Or if you stand with the right foot forwards and cut from the left side, if you do not then also follow the cut with your left foot, then the cut is again spurious. Therefore, see to it that when you cut from the right side that you always follow the cut with the right foot. Do exactly the same when you cut from the left side so that your body brings itself correctly into balance with it. In this way, the cuts become long and are conducted correctly.

[084r.2] Hie hiebt sich ain güte gemaine lere des lanngenn Schwerts doch so ist vil gütter verborgner künst darin beschloszen.

Si feriundo ad hostem accesseris, ense regendo ne cesses, eius ictum expectans sed semper exerceas. Nam omnes Athletae, qui id faciunt[^1], Athletica non gaudeant, quoniam saepissimé laeduntur.

If you approached toward the enemy having been struck, do not hold back while directing the sword, however, if you always make a habit of awaiting/looking out for his strike. For all Athletes, who do this, do not rejoice in athleticness, because they are often struck. [^1] This is a general, non-specific work around for 'versetzen'.

[4]  11 Whoever chases after cuts  Allows themselves to enjoy little of the art. Gloss. This means when you come to the opponent with the initiation of fencing, you do not stand still and wait around for their attacks until they initiate one at you. Know that all fencers that just watch for someone's cut and then will do nothing other than parry, they allow themselves to enjoy quite little of the art, because by doing so, they become gravely struck.

[084v.2] Wer nach geet hawen Der darf sich künnst wenig frawen Das ist Wann du mit dem zufechten zum Mann kumpst. So soltu nit still steen mit deinnem Schwert. vnnd seinem haw nachwarten. bis er dir zuhawet. wisz das alle Fechter. die da sechen auf ains anndern haw/ vnnd wöllen nichts annders thun dann versetzen. die durffen sich Kunnst gar wennig freyen.

Item cum ad hostem concesseris, quocunque habitu[^3] uti voles, facito id pro animi Viribus et corporis, caputque ipsius ferire curato, et ea ratione adversarium coges, ut se tueatur[^2], neque unquam transmutationes assumere possit. mucro enim tui in ensis eum praepediet. Sin autem parte fortiori, qu[a?]e est pars á cruce usque ad medium ensis hostis tuum gladium contigerit, brachium eius sinistrum saucies, atque inde recedas, priusquam id cognoverit.

Item when you would have withdrawn toward the opponent, and you will wish to use whatever skills, make it according to the Strength of spirit and body, and take care to strike his head, and you will compel the adversary by this method, in order that he defend himself, and neither will he be able/it be possible to take up change-abouts at any time. Your sword's point (in fact) will prevent his advance. But if, however, with the stronger part, which is the part from the cross[,] the enemy’s sword continuously contacts your sword toward the middle, you wound his left shoulder/arm and thence you withdraw, before he becomes aware of it

[5]  12 Cut from close proximity whatever you wish  No change enters your shield 13 To the head, to the body  Do not omit the blows 14 With the entire body  Fence whatever you desire to conduct with strength. Look at it like this, when you come to the opponent with the initiation of fencing. Whatever you subsequently wish to fence, drive that with the entire strength of the body and with that, cut in at the opponent's head from close proximity and at that moment, you simultaneously constrain them so that they must parry and cannot come to any disengaging in front of that because you come too close to them with your point. If they then come strongly against your sword with an act of parrying, then give them a wound on their left arm and with that, step back before they come to their senses.

**Quum** perveneris ad hostem propius, si dexter sis feriundo, strenue athleticum exercitium exercere cupiens, a sinistro latere primum ictum nunquam regas. In firmior .n. [enim] est, quam ut hosti resistas in collisione ensium, verum si de dextro ferias, tum firmiter poteris resistere, atque varios habitus[^1] exercere.

When you have arrived closer to the enemy, If you are striking right[^2] you want to strenuously practice the exercises of athletics At no time direct the first cut from the left side. it is indeed weaker, than while you resist the enemy in the striking together of swords, truly if you strike from the right side, then you can stoutly resist, and practice various skills.

[6]  15 Hear what is bad therein  Do not fence on the left if you are a righty 16 And if you are a lefty  You also quite awkward in fencing This is a good lesson that touches upon a lefty and a righty and know this, however you shall cut, do it such that someone cannot overcome the weakness in your sword in the initial cut and look at it like this, when you come to the opponent with the initiation of fencing, if you are a righty and wish to fence strongly, then do not cut the first cut from the left side by choice because it is weak and with it you cannot hold fast when they bind you. But if you cut from the right side, then you may hold very strongly in opposition and work whatever you wish at the sword.

[085r.2] Hör was da schlecht ist Ficht nit linck ob du recht bist Vnnd ob du lingkest Inn dem fechten du auch ser hinckest Das ist ain Guotte leer / Vnnd trifft an ainen Lincken vnnd ainnen Rrechten. vnnd wisse das / wie du solt hawen. das man dir die schweche Inn dem Schwert.

**Sin** autem sinistra manus dextra sit agilior, etiam tunc primum Ictum de latere dextro non feries, at potius de sinistro.

But if, however, the left hand is more dexterous than the right, Then also do not strike the first strike from the right side, But preferably from the left.

[7] In the same way if you are a lefty, then again do not cut the first cut from the right side. For it is quite undependable art for a righty to drive from the left side and it is also the same for a lefty from the right side.

In gladiatoria optimum est, ut observes, quo hostem feriundo praevenias, id si feceris, omnes habitus quos exercere voles, contra eum continuo usurpato. Ut is cogatur subinde se defendere[^1].   Verum si is te praevenerit Ictibus exercendis, prima cura sit, ut acriter ense te defendas[^2], et ea ratione ipsius conatum in nihilum rediges.

In fighting it is best, in order to observe, when you come earlier than the opponent with striking, If you use "it", all the skills which you want to practice, continuing to use against him in order that HE would have been immediately forced to defend himself.   Truly if HE comes earlier than you in carrying out the strike, the first concern would be, to defend yourself sharply with the sword, and using this method, reduce his attempt into nothing.

[8]  17 Before and After, the two things  Are the singular origin of all art. 18 Weakness and strength  Indes, note them with this word 19 So that you may learn  To work and ward with art. 20 If you frighten easily  Don't ever learn to fence. This means that before anything you shall see and understand the two things correctly. This means the before and the after and weakness and strength and the word Indes, because the entire art of fencing comes from those. When you correctly see and understand the [two] things and do not forget the word Indes in all plays therein that you conduct, then you are indeed a good master of the sword and can teach princes and lords well so that they can keep to the proper art of the sword in play and in earnest.

[10] Item. When the opponent comes first with their cut, such that you must then parry them, then Indes work swiftly with your sword or whatever during the act of parrying so that you deprive them of the before with the after, this is called before and after. [11] Item. Now before anything, you shall know about the weakness and strength of the sword. Look at it like this: From the hilt to the midpoint, that is the strong, from the midpoint to the point is the weak and how you should work according to the weak and with the strong at the sword, you shall find all of that written hereafter.

Ictus eius habitus[^5], qui ex ira appellationem assumpsit. Is ictus suo mucrone omnes Ictus superos avertit, quantumvis sit facilimus, & maxime agrestis: eum hoc modo exerceas. Si adversarius supernè caput tuum ex latere suo dextro adpetat, tu vicissim idem facito, remota omni defensione[^3], gladiu[m] ipsius contingens firmiter, atq[ue] subito mucronem ensis tui in faciem eius vel pectus convertito, Verum si is id observarit, nec non ensis parte firmiori impetum exceperit[^4], tum ensem ab ipsius ense surrigas, eo supernè remoto, versus aliud ensis latus rursum converso, caput ferias.

A strike of this skill, which takes up the name from "ire" This strike turns aside all upper strikes using its point, even though it is the easiest and most uncultivated. Employ it in this way: If the adversary approaches your head above from his right side, you do the same thing in turn, firmly touching his sword (since/when every defensive position has been set aside), and suddenly turn the point of your sword over to his face or chest. Truly if he notices this, and also if he would catch/intercept the attack using the stouter part of the sword, then you lift your sword up from his sword, it [your sword] having been intercepted above, turn back again toward the other side of the sword, you strike the head.

[17] Here it begins, the skills of the longsword. First, the wrathcut. Wrathcut with its plays 27 Whoever makes a descending cut at you  The point of wrathcut threatens them 28 If they become aware of it  Then abscond above without concern Item. now that the wrathcut breaks any descending cut with the point and is yet nothing more than a simple peasant strike. Execute it like this. When the opponent cuts at your head from above from their right side, then cut from your right side from above with them as well, wrathfully, directly and without any act of parrying, up atop their sword and let your point shoot in directly forwards into their face or breast. Then if they become aware of the point and parry with strength, then rise upwards with your sword, against their sword's blade, to the top, up off away from their sword and cut at their head. This is called absconding above.

Alia cautela. Si contra hostem ira co[m]motus ferias, et is fortiter ensem tenuerit, tuq[ue] habitu supra modò co[m]memorato uti volveris, Vicissim et fortiter resistas, brachia inde si versus latus dextr[um] tuum sustuleris, brevem aciem ab ipsius ense torqueas, atq[ue] supernè visum ipsius pungas, at si adversarius id observarit, sublatoq[ue] ense impetum excep[er]it[^2], in intorsione remaneas, et mucronem infernè hosti adiungito.

Another caution. If you would strike the ire movement against the enemy, and he holds the sword strongly, and you wish to use the skill[^1] the way it is mentioned above, and you resist strongly in turn, thence if you would lift the arm toward your right side, you would twist the short edge of the sword away from him, and thrust at him above in the face, but if the adversary observes this, (the sword having been lifted) he catches/intercepts the attack), you would remain in the wrapping, and direct the point to the opponent below.

[18]  29 Be strong in turn  Wind. Stab. If they see it, then take it below This means when you cut in wrathfully with the opponent, if they withstand this with strength and you do not wish to abscond above, be strong in turn, and rise up to your right side with your arms, and turn the short edge against their sword and thrust in from above at their face. If they become aware of the thrust and rise up and parry, stay like this in the winding and lodge against your point against them below.

[087r.2] Bisz stercker wider  wind stich sticht ers so niemb es wider Das ist ain Leer wann du mit Im zornigclichen Einhawest. hellt er. dann starckh wider mit dem schwert. wiltu dann nit oben abnemen. so bis wider starckh [087v.1] vnnd far auf mit den Armen zu deiner Rechten seite vnd wind die kurtz schneid an seinem Schwert vnnd stich Im oben ein zu dem gesicht. wirt er des stichs gewar. vnd fert auf vnnd versetzt. so bleib du also steen.

Item cum adversarius ex forma punctionis vel Ictus ensem tuum contigerit, in primo conflictu, tu noli exercere statim Ictus crebros, sed festina lentè, et maximè curabis, ut prius observes num in ensium collisione molliter vel fortiter ensem teneat, Sin id deprehenderis, uti poteris intorsionibus,[^1] atque crebris ictibus quem habitum nos Germani bellum appellamus appetendo nuditates proximè obvias.

Also, when the adversary touches your sword from the form of thrust or strike, in the first conflict, do not immediately practice repeated strikes, but hasten slowly, and you will take the greatest care, in order to observe earlier whether he holds the sword gently or strongly in the striking together of swords, but if you catch this, you are able to use the wrapping, and within the timeframe of the repeated strikes (which is the aspect of the art that we Germans call beautiful/warfare) you attack by closely seeking the opening.

[19]  30 Precisely note this  Cut, stab, position, soft or hard 31 Indes and before and after  And guard that your war is not hasty This is a lesson when the opponent binds against your sword with a cut or with a thrust. You should not let yourself be too hasty with the war, that is with the windings. You then precisely note forward whether it is soft or hard when one sword clashes against another or is in the bind. And as soon as you sense this, then wind Indes and work with the war, according to the soft and according to the hard, to the nearest opening. And this is called the before and the after, which you have learned of before.

Habitus, quem nos bellum appellamus est, cum intorsionibus et quicquod inde per mucronem versus quatour nuditates formatur, utimur. Verum eum hac ratione exercebis: Si contra hostem Ictum ex ira appellationem adeptum ferias, isque, eum exceperit[^4], sublatis brachiis, mucronem ensis tui iuxta ipsius ensem superne contra hostis superam nuditatem lateris sinistri. Verum si eam vim removerit[^5], in habitu intorsionis consistere memineris, sed mucronem deorsum convertas in latus sinistrum. At si adversarius id quoque removeat[^6], tunc inferiores eius nuditates lateris dextri mucrone investiges, et si id etiam repellat[^7], tu ense sublato in latus sinistrum, contra latus hostis dextrum mucronem nuditates supernas inquirendo inmittas, itaque habitum belli vel militiae infernè et supernè hostis exagitabitur, si quidem eum iuxta Athletarum veram instructionem exercueris.

The aspect of the art, which we call beautiful warfare, uses the wrappings and it is shaped from that place by the point against four openings, [subsumed into 2] certainly you will practice it [this aspect of the art] with this method: If you would strike against the enemy a winning stroke named from ire, and HE intercepts it, when the arms have been lifted, join the point of your sword over his sword and against the enemy's upper opening on the left side. Certainly if he were to set his strength aside, remember to persist in the skill of wrapping, but also change the point below into the left side. And if the adversary would also set it aside, now seek out his lower opening of the right side with the point, and if he would likewise drive it back, lift with the sword into the left side, you send the sword in against the right side of the enemy [as a] means of seeking out the upper openings, and so the enemy will have been goaded above and below during the aspect of the art called beautiful warfare or soldiering, if indeed you will exercise/practice that true instruction alongside athletes.

[20]  32 For the one whose war takes aim from above  They will be shamed from below. Know that the windings and the work from them with the point to the four openings, that is called the war. Conduct it like this: When you cut in with the wrathcut, then as soon as they parry, rise up with your arms and wind your point in from above into the upper opening of their left side against their sword. Then if they displace the thrust, then remain standing with the winding like this and let your point sink back down . If they then chase your sword with an act of parrying, then seek the lower opening of their right side with your point. If they then chase your sword with another act of parrying, then rise up to your right side with your sword. In this way they will be exposed above and below, if you conduct it correctly.

Intorsiones sollerter exercere noveris, Unaquaque enim tribus constat habitibus, hoc est, Ictu, Punctione, atque incisione, si igitur ijs uti volveris, maxima cura sit, ut eas iuste et artificiosè exerceas, ne si pungendum sit, tu ferias, neve pungas vel proscindas, si feriundum sit. his igitur si rite usus fueris, facile cunctos, qui contra te certant, decipies, reliquas autem intorsiones in subsequentibus, et quot eorum sint habitus, reperies.

You should learn to skillfully practice Wrappings , namely, it consists of three skills in the art, that is: the Strike, Thrust, and Slice, therefore, if you wanted to use the same, pay the most attention [so] that you practice them rightly and skillfully, if thrusting is incorrect, YOU should strike, and not thrust or gash, if striking is correct. Therefore if you had done these properly, all of them easily, those who contest against you, [whom?] you are deceiving, the remainder on the other hand the [action of] further wrapping in pursuit and however many would be their action, you will catch [them].

De quatuor nuditatib[us]. Quum in conspectu[m] adversarij processeris, si quidem artificiose Athletica[m] voles exercere, feriundo ipsius ensem ne contingito, verum ex nuditatibus quatuor, unam observato: sunt autem ist[a]e, Una, latus dextrum, secunda sinistrum latus sup[er] cingulum, Reliqu[a]e, Latus dextrum et sinistrum infra cingulum, ear[um] igit[ur] si aliqua[m] elegeris, audacter quassato, neq[ue] cures, quibus contra te utat[ur] habitibus. Sed si se defenderit[^1] hostis ictus excipiendo[^2], in tui defensione[^1] contra proximum nuditate[m] eius ferias, itaq[ue] corporis, non ensis rationem p[rae]cipuam habebis.

About the four openings. When you would proceed in the face of the adversary, if indeed you want to exercise skillful sport/athletics, you will not strike [imperative, fut] the sword of that one with striking/hitting, however, from the four openings, observe only: they are indeed those: one, the right side, second the left side above the belt, remaining, the right side and the left below the belt, therefore if you have advanced [or] selected any of them, [you should] batter audaciously, but also don't worry, about any who use their skill against you. But if the enemey were to protect himself by intercepting the strike, you would thus strike against his closest opening in your protection, and so the body, you will not have the particular method of the sword.

[17] Here it begins, the skills of the longsword. First, the wrathcut. Wrathcut with its plays 27 Whoever makes a descending cut at you  The point of wrathcut threatens them 28 If they become aware of it  Then abscond above without concern Item. now that the wrathcut breaks any descending cut with the point and is yet nothing more than a simple peasant strike. Execute it like this. When the opponent cuts at your head from above from their right side, then cut from your right side from above with them as well, wrathfully, directly and without any act of parrying, up atop their sword and let your point shoot in directly forwards into their face or breast. Then if they become aware of the point and parry with strength, then rise upwards with your sword, against their sword's blade, to the top, up off away from their sword and cut at their head. This is called absconding above.

[087r.1] Hie heben sich an die Kunst des Lanngen schwerts zum ersten der Zoren haw Zornhaw mit seinnen stuckhen Wer dir vberhawet  zorenhaw ort dem drawet Wirt ers gewar  nimb oben ab on far Item wisz Das zornhaw mit dem Ort bricht alle Oberhaw vnnd ist doch nit mer dann ain schlechter Bawrenschlag.

Ratio, qua nuditates, quo minus laedantur, tueri licet. Si quis acriter et totis viribus contra te feriat, et tu conatum adversarij impedire, atque curare, ne quatuor corporis partes supra modo commemoratas sauciat hostis, conaris, et is potius invitus laedatur, tum conduplationibus contra partem ensis superiorem, que firmior dicitur, et mutationibus contra infirmiorem utitor, eam igitur formam si exercebis, facile hostis vulnerabitur, neque ullos habitus assumere poterit, conduplationes hac ratione exerceto, Si adversarius supernè contra te feriat de humero suo dextro, vicissim et tu pariter cum ipso de dextro itidem firmiter ferire non dubites caput appetendo, eum ictum si parte ensis firmiori hostis exceperit[^1], sublatis brachiis, manu sinistra nodum ensis tui sub brachium dextrum si co[n]torseris, acie longa premissa ex brachiis cancellatis caput ipsius saucies retro ipsius ensem.

The method allows [you] to observe any opening which has been minorly injured If anyone strikes against you fiercely and with [their] whole strength, and you attempt to impede the attempt of the adversary, and to take care, [and] the enemy has not wounded the four parts of the body in the way which has been recorded above, [moved to line 3] and HE having been wounded is more reluctant, then by means of repetitions against the higher part of the sword, which is called stouter, and use alterations against the weaker, therefore if you employ this form. the opponent is easily wounded, and he won't be able to undertake any skill — Employ doublings using this method, If the adversary strikes against you from above away from his right arm, and you in turn equally with the same from the right, likewise don't hesitate to strike firmly while seeking the head; should the opponent intercept that strike using the stouter part of the sword, (the arms having been lifted), if you would twine the knob of your sword with the left hand below the right shoulder, you would wound his head by means of sending the long edge forward from crossed arms back to his sword

[18]  29 Be strong in turn  Wind. Stab. If they see it, then take it below This means when you cut in wrathfully with the opponent, if they withstand this with strength and you do not wish to abscond above, be strong in turn, and rise up to your right side with your arms, and turn the short edge against their sword and thrust in from above at their face. If they become aware of the thrust and rise up and parry, stay like this in the winding and lodge against your point against them below.

At si in primo conflictu eius ensem ex latere sinistro tuo contigeris acie longa. sublatis confestim brachijs in ipsius ense tuus h[a]ereat, verum pòst retro ipsius ensem strictum, acie brevi caput vulneres.

And if in the first clash the long sharp edge of his sword having been connected from out of your left side. the shoulder/arm having been immediately raised in his sword[,] yours <your sword> would hesitate, truly/certainly afterwards the sword having been drawn close behind, you would wound the head with the short sharp edge.

[19]  30 Precisely note this  Cut, stab, position, soft or hard 31 Indes and before and after  And guard that your war is not hasty This is a lesson when the opponent binds against your sword with a cut or with a thrust. You should not let yourself be too hasty with the war, that is with the windings. You then precisely note forward whether it is soft or hard when one sword clashes against another or is in the bind. And as soon as you sense this, then wind Indes and work with the war, according to the soft and according to the hard, to the nearest opening. And this is called the before and the after, which you have learned of before.

HE has need of the transformations. When you strike toward the enemy fiercely from above from your right shoulder, and HE would intercept your attack, and would not hold the sword strongly, then weave the short edge of your sword around up next to his sword[;] thenceforth (the arms having been lifted) you should thrust the sword from above on top of his sword then prick at the other opening.

But if, however, you formed a Strike from the left side, and you connected with his long edge using [your] sword, (the arms having been raised) [then] don't shift that edge back from the sword of the adversary, toward the lower openings that have been wounded; and you can employ two skills from all of the previously described Strikes using this method, immediately following the observation, whether the enemy holds the sword strongly or less [strongly].

[21]  33 In all winds  Learn to find cut, stab, slice 34 Also with that you shall gauge  Cut, stab or slice 35 In all encounters  Of the masters, if you wish to dishonor them. Know that you must be quite polished with all winds on the sword, because each one of the windings has three distinct plays, that is, one cut, one thrust and one slice; and whenever you wind on the sword, you must gauge and recognize quite accurately so that you do not conduct the incorrect play that is called for in the winding so that you do not cut when you should thrust and not slice when you should cut and also not thrust when you should slice. And you shall conduct that in such a way that when the opponent parries the one, you hit with the other. Furthermore, you should always find the correct plays that are by rights appropriate to conduct in all engagement of and windings against the sword if you otherwise wish to dishonor and confound the masters that set themselves against you. And the number of windings on the sword and how you shall conduct them, you shall find them in the last chapter of the recital which says, "Who hangs well..."

Ictus, qui curvus[?] dicit[ur] descriptio adhibitis omnibus eius habitibus. Ictus iam co[m]memoratus ex quatuor remotionibus[^2] unus est, contra quatuor custodias, hoc etiam habitu ictus qui a[utem] furore boum et aprorum appellationem accepit, debellantur, atq[ue] ictum inferum hoc modo exercebis. Si in conspectum adversarij processeris, et is contra te consistat ensem pro capite in custodia bovis ex latere sinistro tenens, tum sinistrum tu pr[a]eponas, iuxtaq[ue] humerum dextrum ensem contineas in custodia, verum ex ea in latus dextrum prosilias, et man[us] hostis acie longa saucies ex brachijs cancellatis.

The strike which is called curved, a description of its application to all aspects of the art the strike which is now recalled to mind is one of the four actions of warding off/eliminations, against four guards, and additionally, by this aspect of the art[,] the strike, which takes its name from the rage of the ox and boar, is vanquished, and you will employ the lower strike in this way. If you proceed into range of the adversary, and HE stands against you holding the sword before [his] head in the ox guard from his left side, then you place the left in front, holding your sword next to your right arm in the guard, truly you leap forth from this into the right side, and you wound the hands of the enemy with the long edge from crossed arms.

[22]  36 Know the four openings  Take aim so that you strike quite wisely 37 Without any fear  Without doubt however they are situated. This is when you come to the opponent with the initiation of fencing. If you subsequently wish to fence surely, then you should not expressly cut at their sword. Rather, you should target the four openings. [The first opening] this is the right side, the second, the left above the belt of the opponent. The other two openings, these are the left and right sides below the belt. Select one of these openings and boldly initiate a cut there and do not worry about what they fence against you. If they then parry, immediately work to the nearest opening in that act of parrying. In this way, focus on the body and not the sword.

Eundem etiam poteris exercere ex custodia cancellata de utroq[ue] latere, ea igitur in pr[a]edictam custodiam ratione te accom[m]odato. cum prope ad hostem concesseris gladio Athleticè tractato, sinistr[um] pr[a]eponas pedem, ensem ita contineas iuxta latus dextrum, ut mucro deorsum vergat, acie longa superne conversa, latus itaq[ue] sinistr[um] nudum hosti pr[a]ebeas, id si feriundo appetat, hostis supernè, tu[m] dextro pede prosilias, ictumq[ue] ea ratione vites in latus hostis dextru[m], nodum ensis inde sub brachiu[m] dextru[m] contorqueas, atq[ue] manibus cancellatis ex acie longa per mucronem manus eius saucies.

You can also employ the same from the crossed guard from either side, therefore dispose yourself in the previously mentioned guard. When near to the opponent pull back the gladius in the manner of athletes [in order to?] concede temporarily, advance your left foot, thus hold the sword next to the right side, so that the point inclines downward, turn the long edge above, and so you will make the left side opening available to the enemy, if the enemy should assail IT striking, [the enemy above?] then leap forward with the right foot, and using this method you evade the blow into the right side of the enemy, thence you twine the knot[^1] of the sword under the right arm, and you wound his hands using the point from the long edge (the hands having been crossed).

[23]  38 If you wish to arrange yourself  To artfully break the four openings 39 Double high  Mutate down below 40 I say to you truthfully  No one defends themselves without danger 41 If you have understood this,  They can scarcely come to blows, etc. This means whenever the opponent cuts in earnestly, if you wish to then set yourself up against them to break the openings with artfulness so that they must allow themselves to be hit without their permission, then conduct the doubling against the strong of the sword and the mutating against the weak. For I say to you truthfully that they cannot protect themselves from strikes and therefore cannot come to blows.

In the crossed guard[,] adjust yourself to this manner, if you want to practice it from the left side. When you approach toward the enemy (the sword being properly guided), place the right foot forward, hold the sword downwards with crossed arms from the left side, the point having been inverted so that the short edge stands above, and you present the open right side to the enemy: and if he seeks to strike it, then with the left foot having been advanced into the left side in the same manner, you will avoid the strike of the enemy, and you will wound his hands with the short edge in this advance.

[24] Item. Execute the doubling like this: When the opponent initiates a cut from above from their right shoulder; cut in strongly from above as well in the same way from your right shoulder to their head. Then if they parry that cut with strength, then immediately rise up with your arms and shove your pommel under your right arm with your left hand and strike them upon their head from crossed arms with the long edge from behind their sword's blade.

Another of the same method   In the flashing of the swords by this method, in order that it extends below,[^2] Conduct yourself using this skill against the masters of sport from the union of the swords If you step toward the adversary, you would place your sword in the crossed guard on the right side, or into the proximity of the upper arm, and if the adversary wishes to wound you in a high opening, then hit quickly from the crossed arms in the way of his strike (the long edge having been sent forward), truly, as the first, the swords will have seized with mutual flashing suddenly twist the sword, toward the left side, thence (the arms having been lifted), dig at the upper opening, on the other hand if you don't want to dig, insofar as you are able to make your decision with judgement, then the flashing of the swords having occurred, you attempt to wound the head and other parts of the body with the short edge.

[25] Item. Or if you have bound their sword with your long edge from your left side, then immediately rise up with your arms and remain like this against their sword, and strike them upon their head from behind their sword's blade with your short edge.

If you will advance in view of the adversary, and if HE stands in the aforementioned guard, and he holds the sword on the left side in front of your right arm, [you] pretend, as if you wished to touch the sword of the adversary as a result of making use of the curved strike from the first onset, truly the strike, having not been extended more, thence moreover change about below, and drive/thrust the longer point on the other side against the opening, by this method, the enemy is compelled to intercept the attack, on the other hand then you want to practice the skill & the strike in any time.

[26] Item. Execute the mutating on the right side like this: When you cut in strongly from above from your right shoulder, if the opponent parries and is soft at the sword, then wind the short edge against their sword to your left side and rise sufficiently up with your arms and hang your point over their sword from above, and with that move up on the arms and thrust into their other opening.

Alia Cautela vel usus ictus Curvj Cum hoc ictu uteris, semper adversario te nudum exhibere necesse est, at[que] hoc inde percipito. Si eu[m] ictu[m] ex latere dextro ferias tuo, vel ensem eius co[n]tingas, nudus de latere sinistro adpares, atq[ue] si is tanta fuerit industria pre[a]ditus, remoto ense à mutua ensium collisione, nec non nuditatem, quam ei p[re]buisti feriundo appetat, teq[ue] velocitate conetur decipere, tuus subinde eius ensi inh[a]ereat, insequaturq[ue] ictum ipsius, verum pòst in visu[m] hostis, ensis tui mucronè contorqueas, atq[ue] crebris ictibus, quie[a] militia dicitur Germanis Athletis, utitor nuditates acquirendo, ea igitur ratione adversariu[m] tantu[m] conturbabis, ut neq[ue] contra ictus tuos, neq[ue] habitus pungendi se tueri queat.

Another caution or using the curved strike. When you use this strike, it is always necessary to present yourself open to the adversary, and thereupon grasp this. If you strike him the strike from your right side, or you touch his sword, you appear open from the left side, And if HE would have diligently drawn so near before, the sword having been shifted away from a mutual collision of swords, and also the opening, then as you present to him, he seeks to strike, and he tries to ensnare you with swiftness, your [sword] sticks/clings to his sword immediately after and follows/overtakes his strike, afterwards, twine the sword with your point, truly into the face of the opponent, and with continuous strikes, which is called "warfare" by german athletes, use [this tactic] when the openings are acquired, therefore you will completely confuse the adversary with this method, so that he would neither be able to protect himself against your strike, nor skill in thrusting.

[27] Item. The mutating on the left side: Or if you have bound against the opponent's sword with your long edge, then rise up with your arms and keep the same edge against their sword and again wind the short edge over their sword, and rise sufficiently up with your arms and hang your point over their sword from above and thrust into the lower opening of their left side. In this way, you can also conduct these two plays from all cuts after you have sensed the weakness and strength in the sword.

Skills, and various Uses of the transverse.   THAT strike [verbs] the guard of the day. first, this which is described now, drives back a strike, from above and the remaining, which is struck from the day from above and below. Thus practice the transverse. If the adversary stands against you, and lifts his sword (the arms having been lifted) in the guard, (awaiting you), if you will take care you will have conceded closer to him, in order that you put the left foot forward, (the width of a sword), or if you hold the flat of the sword next to the right arm/elbow. and if he advances and threatens close against you, then take care to precede him, and leap with your right foot into your right side in the same way, suddenly rotating the hilt of your sword in front of your face so that the thumb stands firm, thence you batter the left side of the head of the enemy with the short edge.

[28]  The crooked cut with its plays 42 Crook up swiftly  Throw the point onto the hands 43 Crook. Whoever parries well  Disrupts many cuts with stepping. Know that the crooked cut is one of the four parries against the four guards because with them one wars the ox and also the boar and the rising cut. Execute it like this. When you come to the opponent with the initiation of fencing, if they subsequently stand against you and hold their sword in front of their head in the guard of the ox on their left side, then advance your left foot and hold your sword in guard on your right shoulder and from guard, spring well to your right side with the right foot, and strike them from crossed arms with the long edge across their hands.

If, on the contrary, he arrives properly before you, then you leap forward with the right foot having been placed as directed above as a means of protection, avoiding the strike of the enemy at your right side, and you clash together with the transverse strike in the previously named location.

[29]  Item. You also conduct the crooked cut from the barrier guard from both sides. Send yourself into the guard like this. When you come to the opponent with the initiation of fencing, then advance your left foot and hold your sword upon the ground with the point next to your right side such that the long edge of the sword is turned and present yourself open like this with your left side. If they then cut in high into your opening, then spring away from the cut well to the right side, with your right foot facing them and shove the pommel of your sword under your right arm and strike them from the long edge with crossed hands with your point upon their hands.

Moreover and in addition, you will take the greatest of care when striking the transverse, so that [you] do it with all strength, or at the stouter part of the sword, if, however, IT has been intercepted by the adversary, you lift the stouter part of the sword, and if using this part you perceive the weaker of the enemy himself, use alterations ~shiftings~ directed above his sword toward the lower openings, or if you prefer toward his neck. Truly, if you cannot do this, employ repetitions to the back of his sword, thence also undertake that you should crash into the head of the adversary.

[30] Item. In this way, send yourself to your left side using the barrier guard. When you come to the opponent with the initiation of fencing, advance your right foot and hold your sword upon the ground with the point by your left side with crossed hands such that the short edge of the sword is up and present yourself open with your right side. Then if they strike at the opening, then step to your left side with your left foot well away from the cut and strike them over their hands during the step with the short edge.

As for the rest, if the enemy protects himself so fiercely, that you are not able to employ the remembered/suggested skills, using the hilt of your sword, you drive back the sword of the adversary and batter his other side with the transverse, or if on the other hand he tries to run in, practice the skill of slicing under his arm.

[31]  44 Cut crooked to the flats  Of the masters if you wish to weaken them 45 When it sparks above  Then dismount, that I will praise Note you shall conduct this play against the masters from the bind of the sword. And remember this as well: When you come to the opponent with the initiation of fencing, bring your sword into the barrier guard on your right side or hold it atop your right shoulder. Then if they cut at the opening from above, then cut strongly with crossed arms against their cut with the long edge. And as soon as the swords spark together, then Indes wind toward your left side with your sword and rise up with your arms and stab them in the face. Or if you don't want to thrust, then note as soon as it sparks, then Indes cut to their head or to their body with the short edge.

Alius transversarii usus, In p[re]cede[n?]tibus dictu[m] est, q[uam?] Bos, et aratr[um] duo castra, vel custodi[a]e sint, hoc aute[m] loco quatuor nuditates appella[n?]t[ur] Bos et aratru[m]. Bos, du[a]e sup[er]iores nuditates, hoc est, dextru[m] & sinistrum latus capitis. Aratr[um], du[a]e nuditates inferiores, id est duo latera infra cingulum. Eas igitur nuditates Transfersario pervestigabis in accedendo ad hostem.

[title] In the preceding it has been said, how the Ox and the plow \[may be\] two military camps, or they may be guards, here, on the other hand, four openings are called Ox and plow. The Ox, two openings above, this is, the right and left sides of the head. The Plow, two openings below, that is two sides below the belt. Therefore explore these openings thoroughly using the Transverse in the approach of the enemy.

[32]  46 Don't crook, short cut  With that, look for the disengage. This is a break against the guard of the ox. Execute it like this: when you go to the opponent with the initiation of fencing, if they subsequently stay in guard and hold their sword in front of their head on their left side, then throw your sword to your right shoulder and act as if you want to bind against their sword with the crooked cut and cut short and with that disengage below and shoot your point in long into the opening on their other side so that they must parry. With this you come to blows and to other work with the sword.

When you would come near to the adversary, and he stands against you in the guard of the day, then advance the right foot against him toward the right side, and with all strength, dash the transverse above against the left side of the head, which is called Ox, and if the opponent drives that attack back, next [attack with the transverse] below at the lower right side, which stands near or below the belt, which is called plow. And so hereafter employ the Transverse alternately, first above, next below brandish the plow in the likeness of the cross.

[33]  47 Crook whoever tricks you  The noble war bewilders them 48 Such that they do not truthfully know  Where they are without danger. Note whenever you conduct the crooked cut, you must always present yourself open with it. Look at it like this, whenever you cut in or bind against their sword with the crooked cut from your right side, you are open on the left side in the meantime. If they are also crafty and will cut from the sword to your opening and make you stray with agility, then keep your sword against theirs and follow their cut on their sword and wind your point into their face and continue to work with the war, that is, with the windings to the openings so that they become so baffled that they truthfully will not know which regions they should shield themselves from your cuts and your thrusts.

[34]  49 The cross seizes  Whatever arrives from the roof Gloss: Note the crosswise cut breaks the roof guard and any cut that is cut down from above. Execute the crosswise cut like this, when you come to the opponent with the initiation of fencing, if they then stand facing you and hold their sword upwards with outstretched arms, high over their head, in guard and watches you, then note when you come close to them, advance your left foot and hold your sword with the flat on your right shoulder. If they then lift a foot in your direction and threaten to strike you, then you come before and spring well to your right side with your right foot and in the spring turn your sword in front of your head by the hilt in such a way that your thumb comes under and strike them on the left side of their head with your short edge.

Therefore, make use of that [strike] by means of this method, if you approach closer to the enemy, you employ the strike from below on both sides. but if you draw near to him with the strike having been made from below from the right side, suddenly inject the point to the chest of the opponent from the long edge, and thereupon it will become necessary, in order that he shifts your forward attack, truly thence quickly leap forward with the left foot to the right side of the adversary, and pretend, as if you would want to batter the side, as was described before with the transverse, but drawn back, or the thrust having been transformed, soon strike toward the left side, Or if you come near to him from the left side forming the transverse, and also then you drive the sword from the long edge against the breast of the enemy, and employ this skill from close in as described above.

[35] Item. But if they come forth with the cut earlier than you, then spring away from the cut with your right foot sufficiently to your right side with the afore written act of parrying and strike them with the crosswise cut in the afore named place.

About the turn over and running across You use this skill in the advance against the enemy, for instance, you restrict the enemy with it, so that you could run across, and overcome him.

[36]  50 Cross with the strong  Note your work with it. Note This is so that when you cut with the crosswise cut, you shall do it with strength. If they parry, then rise up to the weak of their sword with the strong of your sword. If you then seize the weak of their sword with your strong, work over their sword to either the lower opening or high against their neck by mutating. But if you cannot come to that, then work behind their sword with a strike to the head using doubling.

Quando autem transcurrendum sit, paulo post describetur.

Practice the turner-over or turning strike in this way, always set the left foot in front against the opponent, and from the right side, strike the opponent likewise on the right, and as often as you would advance, take care in order to strike a low strike in the advance itself, truly by practicing the strike according to itself, you reverse/turn over the long edge of the sword, so that it always appears from above, and you contact his sword to the highest degree possible, you thrust itself in against the higher sword, and dig at his face. truly if he shifts it, and also raises the arms upward, you should remember to run across, or if he stays behind, neither lifting the arms, then seize his right elbow with the left hand, if you have held firmly with strength, having leapt forward, you place with the right in front of the left foot of the enemy, and drive him by the same. When, on the other hand, he is run across, as will be described a little later.

[37] Item. But if they are so strong with their act of parrying, that you cannot get to that play, then shove their sword away with your hilt and strike them on the other side with the crosswise cut. Or, if they will rush in on you, then take the slice under their arms.

Regarding the twofold wild strike. It is a twin, which will soon be described subsequently, and practice it in this way: in the mutual approach, place the left foot forward, contact the sword with the right arm/shoulder, and, if you foresee that you would strike an enemy, for whom you have longed, then leap forward with your right foot to your right side, and compose yourself with this method, as if [you were] freely beating the left side of the head of the adversary, truly drawing back the strike. if you leap forward on his right side with the left foot, you batter his head in the running across. And if he sets aside this forward attack, and you contact the sword so much, then advance a little[,] close to that side, from which you have used the doubling, you should cut back to the middle of the sword of the opponent using the short edge, or at the other shoulder. It is permitted to practice this skill on both sides, and you can shape the wild by transversing equally from the highest strike possible.

[38]  51 Cross to the plow  Yoke hard to the ox 52 Whoever crosses themselves well  Endangers the head with springing Note you have heard before that the ox and the plow are two guards or two positions, but here they designate the four openings. The ox: these are the two openings on the left and right side of the head. Similarly, the plow is also the left and right side of the lower half of someone's waist. You shall put all four openings to the test in one sortie with the cross strikes.

SEQUUNTUR VARII usus ictus eius q[ui] à limis oculis appellationem, adeptus, nobis strabo dicitur   Is ictus habitus gravis et severus est, nam hostem vi obruit ictibus et punctionibus, formaturque ense converso: quo circa multi Athleticae magistri hunc ignorant, tum etiam aratri nescij prorsus.   Eum habitum vel ictum hac conditione exerceto, Si in conspectum adversarij processeris, sinistrum proponas pedem. ensem humero dextro admotum contineas, et si eveniat, ut hostis é superné feriat versus caput tuum, ense converso, sinistrum dextro adiungas pedi, atque acie brevi porrectim brachijs extentis, super ipsius gladio contra ipsius ictum vel faciem vel pectus ferias, at si adversarius hac astutia usus; ensem tuum non contigerit, verum inferné transmittat, tum contra ipsius visum brachijs porrectis mucronem porrigens resistas, et inde laedere adversarius te nequibit, neque traiectione uti.

Here follows a variation the use of this strike, which is called the side-eye, having inherited it, it is called the squinter by us.   This strike is a serious and strict skill, for it overwhelms the enemy with strength of strokes and thrusts, and it is shaped by inverting the sword: for which reason many masters of Athletics are ignorant concerning this, then again, they are entirely unfamiliar the plow.   Practice the skill or thrust using these conditions: If you advance into view of the adversary, set the left foot before. you should contain the sword with a movement, and if it happens, in order that the opponent strikes from above against your head, inverting the sword, you should join the left to the right foot (?), and the arms having been stretched out [and] the long edge extended, strike his sword above against his strike or face or chest, and if the adversary uses this trick; your sword now contacts, in truth it goes across underneath, then you resist[,] extending the sword against his face the shoulder having been extended, and thence the adversary cannot strike you, nor use the transfer.

[39]  Item. Here note the crosswise cuts to the four openings Item. When you come to the opponent with the initiation of fencing, if they then stand opposite you in the roof guard, spring facing them well to your right side with your right foot and strike them through total art at the ox opening of their left side with a crosswise cut from above. If they then parry your strike, immediately strike down to the plow opening on their right side, further driving the cross strike swiftly over and over, one to the ox opening and the other to the plow, from one side to the other crosswise, to the head and to the body.

ALIUS HABITUS. SEQUITUR alius habitus. Si contra hostem consistas, iuxta humerum dextrum ensem tenens, is autem in custodia Aratri contrà consistat, minaturque punctionem infernam, tunc tu superné porrectim aciem brevem praemittens, ictum à limis oculis nominatum ferias, atque mucronem vel contra visum ipsius vel pectus inde impellito, et ea ratione si fueris usus, adversarius inferné te pungendo adprehendere nequibit.

Another aspect of this skill[^3] Another aspect of this skill follows. If you would stand fast against the enemy, holding the sword near to the right upper arm, But he stands against [you] in the Plow guard, and threatens a lower thrust, then YOU sending forward the extended short edge above, strike the blow called side eye, and from there drive/thrust the point either against his face or his breast, and if you used this method, the adversary cannot overtake you with lower thrusting.

[40] Item. you should also remember that you shall always spring out to one side with each and every cross strike so that you can really hit the opponent in the head with it and be mindful that you will be well covered with your hilt up in front of your head.

Another form [^1] When you would stand against the enemy, holding the sword close to your right upper arm: and HE in turn in the Plow guard, and he barricades you with a lower thrust, YOU would convert the strike from the short edge, and if you direct [it?] extended above against the opponent, HE cannot overtake you in your thrust.

[41]  53 The failer misleads the believer  Wounding from below according to desire. Note the failer is a play with which the fencers that like to parry and that strike at the sword and not to the openings of the body become confused and wounded according to desire.

OBSERVATIO. UNDE licebit videre, num adversarius porrectim ensem exerceat vel minus. In congressu versus hostem, prospicias diligenter limis quasi oculis, num brevis sit feriundo, verum id[^1] eo modo deprehendas, si brachia non extendat in ipso ictu, brevis est, et si in custodia consistas, laedere te nequibit,[^3] et si suo ense tuum prepedire conetur, eum itidem adprehendere nequibit. Verum si eveniat, ut ex Bovis habitu laboret vel Aratri forma,[^2] itidem decipietur,[^4] denique quicquid exercuerit, inepta apparebunt. Huiusmodi Athletis se transmittas, eo coges, ut sese excipiendo ictus tuos tueri necesse sit, et tum libere quoscumque velis habitus exerceas, etiam cum hoste luctam inire.

Observation. From whence it can be considered, whether the adversary would practice [with] the rather less extended sword. In the approach against the opponent, you should watch diligently with a side eye as it were, whether he were short with the striking, truly you should catch IT in the act in this way, if he would not extend the arm in the cut itself, he is short, and if you should take a position in a guard, he will not be able to injure you, and if he tries to use his sword as an impediment in front of you, he likewise can't seize IT [the sword]. Truly if it happens, that he works from the stance of Ox or from the guard of the Plow, he is likewise deceived. Finally, whatever he exercises, the foolish things will appear. If you send [the sword] across this type of Athlete, you will drive [him] in the same direction, so that it is necessary to protect himself by taking out your cuts, and then you would freely practice the aspect of the art as often as you want, and also when you begin wrestling with the enemy.

[42] Another Item. Execute the failer like this: When you come to the opponent with the initiation of fencing, then make a rising cut from both sides. If you subsequently come against the opponent with the rising cut from your right side, then shoot your point long into their breast with it, so that they must parry. Then immediately spring to their right side with your left foot and act as if you will strike them with the crosswise cut, abort the cut and strike immediately back around to the left side. Or if you come against them with your rising cut from the left side, then shoot in the point long and high and conduct the remainder of the application like it was just written above.

Item si ad hostem concedes[^2], in ipso progressu, limis oculis observabis, num breviter ensem exerceat, idque ea ratione deprehendas, in conflictu si non porrexerit brachia in ipso ictu libere transmittes tum ictibus, tum vero punctionibus ex mucrone longiori, et ea ratione adversarius cogetur, ut tibi sit concessum, strenue contra ipsum habitus quosuis[^3] usurpare non citra ipsius corporis detrimentum.

Item, if you would step to the enemy, in this progression, observe the side eye, now briefly train/exercise the sword, you would discern it using this method, in the collision, if he does not extend arms in the thrust itself, next you freely send across with blows, then truly using a thrust from the longer sword, and the adversary will be rounded up using this method, so that it would have been permitted[^4] to you, seize strenuously upon this condition[^5] against whomsoever, no diminishment[^6] on this side of the body itself.

[43]  54 The inverter constrains  Slipping through and also wrestles with it. 55 Take the elbow surely  Spring into their stance Note that you shall deliver the inverter covertly in the initiation of fencing. For with it, you constrain the opponent such that you can rush through and properly seize them with wrestling.

USUS STRABONIS, ALIUS contra mucronem longiorem. EUM habitum hoc modo exerceas, Si ad hostem prope concesseris[^1], et is contra visum tuum vel pectus porrigat ensem, tu dextro humero ensem adiunctum contineas, versumque mucronem oculos limes convertas, post simulato, quasi eo ferire voles, Verum fortiter ex eo ictu qui nobis strabo dicitur praemissa acie brevi, gladium eius ferias, inde vero mucronem longiorem versus hostis collum addito progressu dextri pedis propellito.

USE OF THE SQUINTER ANOTHER against the longer point practice this gesture in this way, If you step close to the enemy, and he extends the sword against your face or breast, YOU hold the sword in position next to your right upper arm, and you invert turning back the sword in the side eye, afterwards pretend, as if you wanted to strike [using it (side eye)?], Truly strongly out of [the same] the strike which is called squinter by us having been sent forward using the long edge, strike his sword, thence truly adding the long point against the opponent's neck drive forward with an advance of[^2] the right foot.

[44] Item. Execute the inverter like this: When you, with the initiation of fencing, have moved half way into it, move the other half forward toward the opponent over and over with the left foot in front and make a free rising cut from the right side after each advance in accordance with the left foot and with the cut invert and turn the long edge of the sword and as soon as you bind against their sword with that, Indes, hang your point in from above and stab them in the face. If they parry your thrust and rise up high with their arms, then rush through. But if they stay low with their hands during the act of parrying, then seize their right elbow with your left hand and hold firmly and spring in front of their right foot with your left and shove them over it like this.

A GESTURE, IN WHICH THE HAND of the enemy is struck IF the enemy stands against you in the method of the long sword, and YOU desire to hit his hand, then you want to strike together the face or the head as if with a squinter, truly feint, by shifting the purpose of the mind, thence you strike the hand.

[45] Item. And how you shall rush through, you shall find that written hereafter in the part which says: "Rush through, let the pommel hang if you wish to grapple".

IDIPSUM hac ratione depraehendas, in progressu, si ad hostem accesseris, sinistrum pedem praepones, ensem iuxta humerum dextrum contineas, et si conspexeris eum superné tibi obvium, tum adversus eum dextro pede in latus dextrum tuum prosilias, teque componas, tanquam liberé velis caput ex latere sinistro adversarij ferire superné, sicuti is antea pariter adhibita defensione, verum attracto ictu, sinistro pede celeriter versus adversarij latus dextrum prosilias, atque in ipso actu simulabis te velle latus ipsius dextrum concutere, sed retracto rursus ictu dextro pede in latus ipsius sinistrum prosilias, idemque latus animose quasses: at si interea nuditatem tuam appetere conabitur, tunc obviato acie ensis tui longa, removeasque ipsius impetum, idque ex utroque latere exercere noris[^1], idemque ex Transversarijs poteris habere utribique.

METHOD, FROM WHENCE FROM BOTH SIDES you can practice the wild twin. You capture down by means of this method itself, In advance, if you would advance to the enemy, place the left foot in front, hold the sword next to the right upper arm, and if you would observe him above opposing you, then jump toward him with the right foot on your right side, and you compose yourself, as if you would freely wish to strike the head above from the left side of the adversary, in the same way you go before equally the defense having been employed, the strike truly having been dragged together, quickly spring the left foot forward against the adversary's right side, and in the same action you will pretend to want to strike his right side, but the strike having been drawn back again spring forward to his left side, and you should batter the same side courageously: and if meanwhile he will seek after your weaknesses, then oppose your sharp long edge, and set his forward attack aside, and you know how to exercise from this and the other side, and you are able to manage from the Transverse on both sides.

[46]  56 Double the failer  If they make contact, make the slice with it 57 Double further  Stride in left and be not lax Note this is called the double failer and conduct it like this: When you come to the opponent with the initiation of fencing, then advance your left foot and hold your sword on your right shoulder and when you see that they are high, then spring well out to your right side with your left foot counter to them and act as if you will make a free crosswise cut to the left side of their head, abort the cut and spring all the way around to their right side with your left foot and strike them in the head with the cross strike. If they then parry and you hit their sword, then step on past close to them, on the same side and slice from behind their sword's edge into their mouth by doubling with the short edge or fall across their arms with your sword and slice. Execute this to both sides. You can also conduct the same way from a descending cut as you can from the cross strikes, if that is what you wish to do.

Is habitus custodiam de populo cuius supra facta est mentio, disrumpit et avertit. Eum igitur hoc modo exerceto, si adversarius se in congressu mutuo in custodiam de populo praepararit[^3], tu ensem supra caput extentis brachijs attollas in custodia de die, contraque hostem dextro prosilias pede, firmiterque é superné deorsum ferias acie longa praemissa, brachijs identidem sublatis mucronem in faciem vel pectus hostis demittas deorsum, verum si habitu Coronae id[^4] repellat hostis ita ut utriusque ensis capuli ab suo gladio sint erecti, sursumque tollat, necnon mucronem ensis tui sursum torqueat, tum ensem sub corona hostis transigas conversa in brachium ipsius acie, inde si urseris, habitus ipsius irritus fiet, verum in ipso urgendi habitu eum proscindas, atque ab eo inde recedas.

Various uses of his strike. by means of which the crown of the head is assailed. IT [is] the face strike. and the chest it is in the habit of being deceitful, in order to lie open below. I mention/name above THE[^5] posture [of] the guard of the poplar tree that took place , breaking and turning away. Therefore employ it in this way, If the adversary has prepared himself to join mutually in battle in the guard of the fool/poplar YOU would raise up the arms extending above the head in the guard of the day, and you advance your right foot against the enemy, you strike downwards strongly and from above with the long point sent forward, you strike/plunge the sword downwards into the face or breast of the enemy, repeatedly raising the arms, truly if the enemy would drive back using the action of the Crown, therefore in order that both the hilts of the sword are erected/upliftedby his sword and he lifts upward, and also twists the point of your sword, then stab/pierce the sword below the crown of the opponent inverted in his arm using the edge, thence if you press/follow/urge hard, his gesture will be ineffective, truly in the same gesture of urging/pressing hard you would gash him, and thence recede from him.

[47] The Squinter-the with its techniques 58 The cockeyed cut breaks inside  Whatever the buffalo cuts or thrusts 59 Whoever threatens to change,  The cockeyed cut robs them of it. Know that the cockeyed cut is a good, strange, and grim play, for it breaks in by cut and by thrust with violence and goes in with an inverted sword. This is why many masters of the sword have nothing to say about this cut and the guard that is called here, the plow as well.

[094v.2] Item den Schiller treib also / wann du mit dem Zufechten zum Mann komst / so setz dein Linncken fuosz vor / vnnd halt dein schwert an deinner rechten Achselen. hawt er dir dann von oben zu dem kopff / so verwennd dein Schwert. vnnd. sprinng zu dem Rechten fuosz. vnnd haw gogen seinem haw. mit der kurtzen schneidin Langk auss gestrackten armen. oben vber sein Schwert.

Now follow the four camps/forts, or in the same way they call the defenses The ox, the plow, the poplar/popular, the posture of the day. Those four camps, four guards they are, from which it is proper to excel yourself, the vigorous athlete.

[48] Item. The cockeyed cut is conducted like this: When you come to the opponent with the initiation of fencing, then advance your left foot and hold your sword on your right shoulder. If they then cut at your head from above, then twist your sword and spring forward with your right foot and cut long from outstretched arms with your short edge against their cut up over their sword, into their face or breast. If they are then crafty in this way and aborts during the cut of your sword and disengages below, then remain with your point in front of their face from long arms so that they can neither harm you, nor come through below.

Of the ox. It is necessary to prepare yourself in this way for this posture, you should set the left foot before, hold your sword against the right side, the hilt standing before your face, thus in the same way the short edge is turned against you, the point extended against his face.

[49] Item. Another play. When you stand opposite the opponent and hold your sword on your right shoulder. If they then stand opposite you in the guard of the plow and threaten to stab you from below, then cut in long from above with the short edge by means of the cockeyed cut and shoot your point into the face or breast of the opponent in such a way that they cannot reach you with their thrust from below.

Truly adjust yourself from the left side in this stance in this way, you should put the right foot before, hold the sword on the left side, the hilt stands before the face, the long edge turned towards you, and the point extended in the opponent's face. THIS therefore is called the stance of the OX.

[50] Item. Another. When you stand opposite the opponent and have your sword on your right shoulder, if they then stand in retaliation opposite you in the guard of the plow and threaten to stab you from below, twist the cut with the short edge in long from above in such a way that they cannot reach you with their thrust from below.

DE ARATRO Seconda custodia Aratrum dicitur: in eam hoc pacto[^1] te adaptes opus erit, sinistrum pedem praefigas, ensem contineas deorsum in latere tuo dextro manibus cancellatis, nodo dextrae coxae adplicato, ita ut superné acies brevis appareat, mucro vero contra adversarij faciem sit porrectus.

Regarding the plow The second guard is called the plow: it will be useful for you to adapt yourself in it using this manner, Set your left foot in front, hold the sword downward to the right side, your hands crossed over, place the pommel close to the right hip, thus, it is apparent that the short edge is higher/upward, the sword will in truth be extended against the face of the adversary.

[51]  60 Cock an eye. If they shortchange you,  Disengaging defeats them. This is a lesson. When you start to move in with the initiation of fencing, you shall cock an eye or look to see whether your opponent fences with you short. And understand the shortening of the sword like this: When the opponent does not extend their arms long from themselves during the cut, they are shortened. If you bring yourself into the fool's guard and they will fall upon that with their sword, they are again shortened. If they fence against you from either ox or plow, that is also shortened and all windings in front of the opponent, these are all short and you shall disengage such fencers. With that, you constrain them so that they must parry, so that you can then strike and work freely with the sword and with wrestling as well.

[095v.2] Item ain anndere Lere Wann du mit dem zufechten zu Im geest. so soltu schillen mit dem gesichte. ob er kurtz gögen dir Ficht. das soldu allso erkennen. wann er dir zuhawet. reckt er dann die arm nit lanngck ausz. vor Im mit dem haw. so ist das. sein schwert verkurtzet. vnnd allen Fechtern. den wechsel frölich durch ausz hawen vnnd ausz stichen mit dem Lanngen ort. damit bestetigstu. sy am schwert. das sy muossen. zu dem anwinden. lassen kömen. vnd sich schlagen lassen.

Similarly compose yourself in this way in the Plow posture of the left side. place your right foot in front, hold the sword adjacent to the left side downward in the same way close to the left hip, set the long edge higher, [so that] the point inclines upwards gazing at the face of the adversary.

[52] Item. Another lesson. When you move toward the opponent with the initiation of fencing, you shall cock an eye to see whether the opponent fences shortly against you. You shall recognize it like this: When the opponent initiates a cut at you, if they then do not extend their arms long from themselves during the cut, their sword is shortened. And all fencers that fence too shortly, freely disengage them, from either cuts or from thrusts using long point. With this you zero in on them against your sword such that they must allow you to come into a bind and allow themselves to be struck.

DE FORMA, QUAE DICITUR Germanis Populus. CUSTODIA Tertia Populus arbor est, in eum habitum sic te accommodes, sinistrum pedem praefixisse necesse est, porrectis brachijs ensem ante te contineas, mucrone humo nitente ita, ut brevis acies superna sit.

Regarding the form, which is called the poplar tree by the Germans. The third guard is the poplar tree, adjust yourself into this posture, it is necessary to set your left foot in front, hold the sword in front of you with the arms extended, thus the point is leaning[^2] on the ground, so that the short edge is upward.

[53]  61 Cock an eye at the point  Take the neck without fear Note this is a play against long point using a deception of the face. Execute it like this: When you come to the opponent with the initiation of fencing, if they then stand and hold their point against your face or breast, hold your sword on your right shoulder and focus your eyes upon their point and act as if you wish to cut there and cut strongly against their sword with your short edge via the cockeyed cut and shoot the point long at their face with a step forwards of your right foot.

guard of the day This is the fourth guard, compose yourself in this manner, do not hesitate to set your left foot in front, hold the lifted sword with the arms extended above the head, the long edge extended in front, the sword point hangs down not a little bit in back: and thus you would stand in the guard.

[54]  62 Cock an eye at the top of the head  If you wish to ruin the hands Item. When the opponent stands against you in long point, then if you wish to strike them atop their hands, focus your eyes on their face or at their head and act as if you wish to strike them there and strike them on their hands with your point via the cockeyed cut.

SEQUUNTUR QUATUOR Ictus quibus omnis generis habitus et castra repelluntur, atque in nihilum rediguntur. In superioribus dictum est de quatuor custodijs, iam igitur doceberis, quae principales formae sint, quibus hostis impetus retardantur, quarum sunt ictus quatuor.

The following four strikes by which any gestures and camps born in all ways are repelled, and in nothing are driven back. In the above it is stated about the four guards, now therefore I will teach, which would be the principal forms, with which the forward attack of the enemy is delayed, of which the four strikes are.

[55]  56 Double the failer  If they make contact, make the slice with it 57 Double further  Stride in left and be not lax This is how you should drive the failer to both sides and look at it like this. When you come to the opponent with the initiation of fencing, advance your left foot and hold your sword on your right shoulder and when you see that they are suitable to you, then spring towards them, well out to your right side with your right foot and act as if you will cut them with a descending cut on the left side of their head. If they then speed forward with an act of parrying, then suddenly yank the cut back up and immediately spring around to the left side of the opponent with your left foot and in your spring, act as if you will strike them on the right side and suddenly withdraw and spring back around to their left side with your right foot and with that, strike in freely on the same side.

Primus est, qui Curuus dicitur, cuius supra mentio facta est, is removet habitum, vel custodiam Bovis. Secundus. Transversarius, qui custodiam de die repellit. Tertius, qui à limis oculis appellationem sortitus est, is custodiam Aratri disrumpit. Quartus is est Ictus, quo vertex capitis adpetitur, qui custodiam Populi, ut nos Germani vocamus, repellit. quo autem modo certiores habitus ex praedictis Ictibus sint formandi, et qui habitus sint contra custodias, supra descripti sunt in Ictibus, quare si plagas cavere velis, nullos alios preter hos exerceas.

The first is that which is called Curved, of which it is mentioned above, it shifts the posture, or the guard of Ox. Second. the transverse, which repels the guard of the day. Third, which gets the name from side-eye, it disrupts the guard of Plow. Fourth is the Strike, which seeks the crown of the head, which repels that guard which our Germans call Poplar. In which way, however, certain conditions would be formed out of the preceding Strikes, and any who would be in a position against the guards, the above are described in the Strikes, for which reason if you wish to hit to cut through, practice no others besides these.

[56]  The parter with its plays 63 The part cut  With its turn 64 The face  And the breast is firmly endangered. 65 Whatever comes from it  The crown removes it. 66 Slice through the crown  So that you break it beautifully 67 Press the sweeps  By slicing withdraw it Know that the part cut breaks the fool's guard and is quite threatening to the face and breast with its turn.

CAUTELA OBSERVATIOQUE, quid agendum sit, si hostis impetum exceperit, atque ab ense tuo removere suum nolit.[^1] SI adversarius Vim tuam sibi illatam exceperit, nec ensem ab ense tuo removere volet[^2], verum conatur, ne ullos habitus queas exercere, tunc tum quasi ensem retrahere volveris simulabis, et usque ad medium attrahas, eo post celeriter sublato, caput eius acie brevi, vel habitu duplationis concutito.

Caution and Observation, which will have been done, if the opponent would take out the forward attack, and doesn't want to shift away from your sword. If the adversary would take out your Strength bearing it in[^3] for himself, neither does he want to shift away from the sword, truly he tries, nor(?) are you able to employ any actions, then next you will pretend as if you wanted to pull back, and you should drag together up to the middle, afterwards, having lifted it quickly, batter his head with the short edge, or in the gesture of doubling.

[57] Item. Execute the part cut like this: When you come to the opponent with the initiation of fencing, if they then bring themselves into the fool's guard, advance your left foot and hold your sword high above your head with outstretched arms in the roof guard and spring at them with your right foot and cut down from above strongly and keep your arms high and drop your point down into their face or breast. Then if they parry with the crown such that the point and the hilt both stand up against their sword; and they rise up with it and push your point upwards, then rotate your sword under their kron, into their arms using the slice and press. In this way, the crown is broken again. And during the pressing, take the slice and withdraw yourself with it and step close to them if they parry again.

Another form When the adversary has set your forward attack aside, extract the sword from on high from his sword toward his sword, as if you will take it out from a higher level, in truth, you would not shift the sword, but therefore, adhering to the sword, you would strike his head.

RATIO ET FORMA, UNDE Quatuor nuditatibus ensis mucro adplicatur. Ratio isthaec ensis applicandi gravis et habitus alijs. contra quos pugnas, periculosus, quoniam quatuor nuditatibus obesse solet, soletque exerceri tum, cum cito ab adversario recedere statuisti.

A method and form, from which the point of the sword is applied to Four openings. The method at hand will have been applying the heavy sword and other actions. anyone you fight against, [is] dangerous, because he is accustomed to being hurt in the four openings, and then he is accustomed to being exercised, when you are set up to go back speedily from the adversary.

[59]  Item. Put yourself into the ox like this: stand with the left foot forwards and hold your sword on your right side with your hilt in front of your head, such that your short edge faces you and maintain your point against your opponent's face.

[098r.2] Item zu der Linncken seiten schickh dich also Inn den Ochsen.

Therefore, conduct this action thus when applying the sword, if you have come to the enemy with the sword, the Athletic custom having been guided, then you would adapt yourself into the guard of the Ox, or the Plow if you prefer, and if the enemy would attempt to hit you (from) above or to thrust from his right side, you should anticipate intercepting it, up to the closest opening on his left side, you would drive forward the longer point, awaiting, if you could hunt, connecting the opportunity of the sword.

[60] Item. Put yourself into the ox on the left side like this: Stand with your right foot forwards and hold your sword on your left side with your hilt in front of your head such that your long edge faces you and maintain your point against your opponent's face.

[098r.3] Von dem Pflug Item die ander hüt. die haist der Pfluog / da schickh dich also mit. setz den Linncken fuosz fur. vnnd haldt dein schwert mit gecreytzigten henden vndersich zu deinner Rechten seiten mit dem knopf neben deinner rechten hifft / das die kurtz schneid oben sey. vnd der Ort fursich auf stee. dem man gögen dem gesicht.

Again when he strikes against you from above from his left side, and then you should anticipate intercepting it, you should thrust the longer point in to his right side. But yet if HE strikes from below from his right side, YOU drive the long point against the closest opening on the right side of the adversary.

[61]  Item. The second guard is called the plow. For this, put yourself together like this: advance your left foot and hold your sword with crossed hands down on your right side with your pommel near your right hip such that your short edge is up and your point lifts up forwards against your opponent's face.

[098v.1] Item zu der Linncken seiten schickh dich also Inn den Pflug. setz dein rechten fuosz vor. vnnd haldt dein Schwert neben deinner Linncken seiten. vnndersich zu deinner Linncken hifft. das die Lanng Schneid oben gewennnt sey / vnnd der Ort vbersich stee. dem man gögen dem gesicht.

needs title If he strikes against you truly in the same way from below from his left side, then you should strike the longer point in against the lower opening of the right side, immediately thereupon awaiting the point, and if HE observed/saw through the wrapping of the point, and shift it, your sword should stay back above the opponent's sword, and thence you should strike the sword quickly against the nearest opening.

[62] Item. Put yourself into the plow on the left side like this: advance your right foot and hold your sword down at your left hip by your left side such that your long edge is turned up and your point lifts up against your opponent's face.

[098v.2] Von dem Alber Item die drit hut haist Alber vnnd schickh dich allso mit Setz den Linncken fuos fur vnnd halt dein schwert mit gestrackten armen vor dir mit dem Ort. auf der erden. vnd das die kurtz schneid oben sey

Method for attacking the enemy having advanced to overtake. The condition and Use of these methods are diverse, and they are to be practiced with great skill and industriousness against Athletes, who draw from the extended and free Athletic Strikes, but truly the art of Athletics itself, And they do not make concealment great.

[63]  Item. The third is called the fool and put yourself together like this: advance your left foot and hold your sword in front of you with extended arms with your point upon the ground and such that the short edge is up.

Primum habitum rationis hostem urgendi hoc modo exerceto, si ad hostem gladiando perveneris, sinistrum pedem praeponas, teque in custodiam de die componas, diligenter autem observes, quibus contra te habitus utatur, et si eveniat, ut porrectim superné contra te feriat de humero suo dextro, eum impetum non repellas, sed cura ne ictu te apprehendat adversarius, atque dum ensis eius in ipsa ictus vi deorsum defertur humum versus, ad eum dextro pede prosilias, et proximam nuditatem lateris dextri superné quasses, et ea ratione priusquam hostis ensem sustulerit, iam vulneratus est.

Exercise the first gesture of the method of pressing the opponent hard in this way, if you come up to the opponent , you would place your left foot in front, and would collect yourself in the guard of the day, but you would observe more diligently, the gesture that is used against you by anyone, and if it happens, in order that he would strike against you extended above from his upper right shoulder you do not thrust back his forward attack, but undertake that the adversary not seize you with the strike, and while his sword would bear down in those strikes with strength, having been overthrown to the ground, you would rush toward him with the right foot, and batter the closest opening on the left side from above, and by means of this method, before the enemy would have lifted the sword, soon he is/will have been wounded.

[64]  Item. The fourth guard is called roof guard and put yourself together like this: advance your left foot and hold your sword high above your head with outstretched arms and turn your long edge forwards and let your point hang a little to the back and stand in guard like this.

[099r.1] Von den vier versetzen Vier seind versetzen die die Leger seer letzen vor versetzen hüt dich geschicht es mer es miet dich Merckh du hast vor gehort von den Vier huten so soltu Nunn wissen was da sein die vier versetzen.

ALIUS PRECEDENTIS HABITUS. QUUM adversarius ictum longius deorsum direxerit, hoc autem fiet, si eum tu non exceperis, ictus .n.[^1] eo modo defertur: tu autem eius ictum feriundo consequutus sis, cum igitur celeriter is ensem rursus elevet, tuumque impetum excipiat, fortiter tunc acies ensis tui longa, ipsius ensi adiuncta remaneat, et si removere sursum conabitur, tum dextro hostis pedi sinistrum resiliendo postponas, atque transversario vel alio habitu caput ipsius de latere capitis dextro quassabis, inde vero celeriter versus alterum latus habitu duplationis seu alio genere ictus laborabis, iuxta observationem,[^2] num fortiter ensem, vel minus, teneat, atque haec forma dicitur externa.

Another of the preceding gesture When the adversary directs the longer strike downwards, this will take place, if YOU do not take it out, the strike flows down indeed in that same way: YOU, however, would overtake by hitting his strike, when therefore HE quickly raises his sword back, and intercepts your forward attack, strongly then your long edge, remains bound to his sword, and if he tries to shift upwards, then, springing back, you place the left after the right foot of the enemy, and by transversing or with another method, you will batter his head from the right side of the head, thence truly you will work quickly against the other side using an action of doubling or elsewhere to generate a strike, during close observation, now he holds the sword strongly, or less [so], and this is called the outward form.

[65]  70 Four are the parries  That severely disrupt the positions 71 Guard yourself from parrying  If it happens by necessity, it hurts you Note you have heard previously about the four guards, you shall now know that there are four parries with which you shall break the four guards. Know that no actual parries are called for in this, because it is the four cuts that break the four guards.

ALIUS ITEM HABITUS. Si hostis longius feriundo deorsum fertur, et tu ictum ipsius consequeris. Si eius ensem contigeris versus latus ipsius sinistrum, et is celeriter ex praemunitione transversario latus tuum dextrum feriat, tunc tu transversarium exercendo, sub eius gladio irrumpendo, collum ex latere sinistro saucies, vel sinistro pede prosilias, in latus adversarij dextrum, ictumque eius itidem ictum tuo consequitor versus latus dextrum, vel incisionem brachijs iniectam versus caput eius usurpato.

Likewise another action. If the opponent is brought to longer striking below, and you (will) follow his blow. If it happens that his sword is against his left side,[^1] and HE strikes your right quickly from transverse defensive positions, then YOU employing the transverse, will have broken under his sword, you should wound the neck from the left side, or spring with the left foot, toward the adversary's right side, and follow his blow with your same blow against the right side, or make use of a cutting-into injecting the arm against his head.

[66] The first is the crooked cut which breaks the guard of the ox

ANOTHER FORM of the reversed pursuit/following. When you fight against the adversary practicing a strike from below or composed in the guard called Poplar, and HE contacts the sword ?with yours? before you raise up, continuing/remaining [below][^4] you lift the sword up high: Truly, if he attempts to strike against you from the fortification, or YOU will arrange[^5] to wrap his [sword] with your sword, he is not able to shift the sword, and [you] will fight following against his closest opening. You will observe the above, so that you press him hard in the attack with threatening from all guards, and from all strikes, you should learn to the highest degree possible, any longer strike the adversary directs, how much it is possible to immediately lift the sword and to the greatest extent the opening[^6] (the most exposed [bit]?) no matter what part of the body it would be[^7] he will present[^8]. alternative 12 (end) to 17: you should learn to the greatest degree, regardless of the longer strike directed by the adversary, how it is possible to lift the sword as much as possible to the most exposed [part] he will present, whatever part of the body that would be.

[67] The second is the crosswise cut which breaks the roof guard

CAUTELA, QUA SENTITUR num hostis ensem firmiter vel non contineat. Inter ensis longioris habitus, excellentissimus omnius id est: sentire num hostis fortiter ensem teneat vel infirmiter. Secundum: ut crebros ictus contra hostem, atque id fiat velocissimé, exerceas. [^9] Et si quis huius artis magister haberi cupiat, nec predictos modo habitus noverit, nequamque glorietur se Athleticam tenere, quare in primis illa duo discenda sunt.

A caution, to any who perceive whether the opponent would hold his sword strongly or not. Among the gestures of the longer sword, "it"[^10] is the most excellent of all: to perceive whether the enemy would hold the sword strongly or weakly. Secondly: you should employ continuous strikes against the opponent, and make "it" very quick. [moved to line 6] And if a master wants to consider any of these arts, and has not studied the action in the preceding manner, and then he boasts worthlessly about comprehending Athletics, because the two have to be learned first of all.

[68] The third, this is the cockeyed cut, which breaks the guard of the plow

You will understand the action by means of this method of sensing, If you have arrived at the enemy for sword fighting, and, from the initial onset, you [plural] have mutually contacted the swords, then during that mutual flash of the swords YOU must soon observe,[^4] whether he has contacted your sword more or less strongly,[^5] as soon as you have truly sensed IT [the contact], you should immediately be mindful of speed,[^6] that is to say, while, in that action of swiftest sensing, you are contesting with the enemy at the same time, [^9] and with this deep thrust, he will be wounded contrary to expectations.

[69] The fourth, this is the part cut, which breaks the guard here called the fool.

[099v.3] vnnd wie du die rechten stuckh ausz den vier hewen gögen huten treiben soldt. dz finndestu daruor Inn den hewen. geschriben / Darumb huet dich vor versetzen. gögen den huten / wiltu annderst mit schlegenn nit geschenndet werden /.

Porró, sentire, et celeriter insuper crebris ictibus[^17] uti, illi duo habitus[^12] á se invicem divelli nequeunt, nec alterum absque altero usurpare tutó licebit. ex hoc igitur percipies. Si senseris, ut supra commemoratum est, illum infirmiter vel fortiter ensem tuum tetigisse, celerrimé utȇris crebris ictibus.[^11] nam hij duo habitus semper sunt coniuncti. Secundum autem, quod est, ut celer sis et velox: in omnibus habitibus usurpare poteris. Scilicet, Conduplationibus, Transmutationibus, Transcursibus, Incisionibus, Luctis[^18], arrepto ense hoc habitu,[^19] quicquid volveris, conaberis praecipue id contra hunc habitum tam perstantem ignorantes exercere poteris.

Furthermore, sensing and quickly using continuous strikes (as previously mentioned), those two things cannot be separated from each other, nor may the second be safely used without the former. therefore, you will understand from this. If you have sensed, that one to have weakly or strongly touched your sword, while [the] above was kept in mind,[^14] [then] you quickly use [it] within the timeframe of the continuous strikes. for these two things are always connected. And indeed the second, which is, while you are fast and quick:[^15] you can seize upon [it] in all conditions/actions. That is, during doubling, during changing about, during running across, during cutting into, during wrestling, while snatching the sword with this gesture, whatever you would want, [if] you will attempt, you will be able to exercise IT in particular against those [who are] persistently ignorant of this gesture/action.

[70] And how you shall drive the correct play of the four cuts against the guards, you will find written previously in the cuts. To this end, guard yourself from parrying against the guards if you wish to otherwise not be harmed by strikes.

Si adversarius coram te ictu suo longius excesserit sive de latere dextro, sive sinistro, tu animosé ictum eius, ense tuo consequitor versus nuditatem ipsius. at si is ensem levarit, tuumque ensem ab inferné tetigerit, diligentissimé observato, ut quamprimum enses fuerint coniuncti, celeriter brachio hostis, ensem tuum superimponas ex acie longa, eaque ratione supprimas, vel, si mavis, os proscindas.

The sequence of the cutting-into out of the applied form. You should make use of the sequences out of both sides while adding the cutting-into, grasp it thus. If the adversary had passed his long strike before your eyes from the right side, or the left, YOU! follow his strike courageously, with your sword against his opening. but if HE had raised lifted up the sword, and your sword had struck from below, while (during) being observed most carefully, in order that the swords will have been contacted to the greatest extent, you place your sword on top (or over [his]) from the long point, quickly at the shoulder of the enemy, and you press it down with this account, or, if you would prefer, you plow into the mouth/face[^16]. 9-10, 12-13 swapped from latin order

[71]  72 If you are parried,  Note as it happens. 73 Heed what I advise:  Break loose quickly, cut with violence. Note, this is for when the opponent has parried you and will not draw themselves away from your sword and fully intends to not let you come to any play. In this case act as if you will withdraw yourself, away from their sword and suddenly withdraw your sword to you, just to the mid-part of your blade and together with that rise up with your sword and strike quickly with the short edge or at the opponent's head via doubling.

[100r.2] Item ainannders / wann Er dir versetzt hat. so reyss mit deinnem Schwert ann seinner schwerts klinngen vbersich auf gogen seinnem Ort. als du Im oben. wollest abnemen. so bleib am Schwert. vnd haw Im schlecht an der klinngen wider zum kopff.

SUPERINIECTIO[^2] ENSIS. SI quis inferioribus Ictibus te fuerit adgressus, hoc modo contra te geras, si volveris commemorato habitu uti. Cum ad hostem accesseris, et is ab infernè contra te feriat, excipere ipsius impetum nolito, verum diligenter observato, cum ipsius ictus inferus tibi adpropinquarit, tu de humero[^3] dextro ictum porrectum ferias, indeque mucronem longiorem in faciem vel pectus adversarij propellas, nec non eum adplices, et proposito loco ensem adiungas, itaque fiet, ut infernè te adprehendere nequeat hostis. Si autem is ab infernè ensem levavit, tuumque impetum excipiat, longa tui ensis acies firmiter hostis ensi inhaereat[^1], atque inde celerrimè contra ipsius nuditatem proximam concertato. Isthuc tibi quoque observandum est, si firmiter ipsius ensem contigeris, atque is ex praemunitione[^4] alterum latus tibi ferire conetur, tunc acie longa caput eius saucies, et aequè contra nuditatem ac prius labores utrinque.

The action of casting over of the sword If anyone approached you using strikes from below, you should conduct yourself in opposition in this way, if you wish to use the aforementioned action, When you have come near to the opponent, and HE strikes against you from below, you will refuse to intercept his forward attack, [you] will truly observe carefully, when his low strike drew near to you, YOU would strike an extended strike from the right upper arm, and thence you would thrust forward the longer point into the face or chest of the adversary, indeed you land [a strike] on him, and if you would connect the sword in the exposed place, it will therefore occur that the enemy is unable to overtake you from below. If HE raises the sword from below and he would intercept your forward attack, the long edge of your sword stays stuck firmly to the sword of the opponent, and thence you will quickly strive against his nearest opening. This will likewise have been been observed by you, if you have strongly contacted his sword, and HE tries to strike out of the fortification at your other side, then you wound his head using the long edge, and you work the prior [action] equally on both sides and against the openings.

[72]  Item. One other. When the opponent has parried you, race up toward their point with your sword against their sword's blade as if you would abscond above, then remain against the sword and cut straight back to their head against their edge.

[100r.3] Das ansetzen Setz an vier ennden bleyb darauf wiltü enden Wisz das. das ansetzen ist ain Ernnschafft stuckh / wann es geet zu der Nehm der vier Plössen. vnnd gehört zetreiben / wann du bald end wildt geben mit Dem schwert.

REMOTIONIS[^5] HABITUS ET VSVS ID hoc modo exercebis, si ad adversarium proceßeris, atque is quasi pungere velit se constituerit, tu sinistrum pedem prepones, necnon versus ipsum in Aratrum co[m]ponas te, ex latere dextro tuo, nudumque latus hosti sinistrum praebeas, cum igitur nuditatem fodere conetur, ensem deflectas in latus sinistrum tuum versus ipsius ensem, et brevi acie, eius ensi coniungas, et ea conditione hostis impetum removeas[^6] mucrone tamen contra hostem porrecto, sinistro post dextro pedi coniuncto, faciem inde vel pectus fodias.

The gesture and use of deflection You will practice THIS in this way, if you were to advance toward the adversary, and HE were to arrange himself as if he wanted to feint a thrust[^9], YOU[^7] place your left foot forward, and indeed, you would compose yourself in the plow against that one, out of your right side, and you should offer an openness in the left side to the enemy, When, therefore, he would attempt to stab the opening, you should divert the sword aside into your left side against his sword, and the short edge, you should join to his sword, and you deflect the forward attack of the enemy with this deep thrust, still extending the point against the enemy, the right foot having been joined behind the left, from there you should stab at the face or chest.[^8]

[73]  74 Lodge against four regions  Learn to remain upon them if you wish to finish Know that lodging is an earnest play because it moves into the area of the four openings, and it is appropriate to conduct when you wish to give an immediate conclusion using the sword.

SI in Aratri habitu de latere dextro consistas, et adversarius nuditatem sinistri lateris supernè conetur ferire, tu sublato ense, contra ipsius Ictum in latus sinistrum eum convertas [page 32] capulo in forma Bovis pro facie tua constituto, alterum pedem si dextro adiunxeris, faciem inde vel pectus adversarij pungas, idque ex Aratro de latere sinistro facias.

Another form of the preceding If you stand in the posture of the Plow on the right side, and the adversary attempts to strike the opening on the left side from above, YOU, having lifted the sword, turn it back against his strike toward the left side with the sword hilt positioned in the form of the Ox in front of your face, if you have joined the second foot to the right, thence thrust at the face or the chest of the adversary, and you could do IT from the Plow on the left side.

[74] Item. Execute lodging like this: When you come to the opponent with the initiation of fencing, bring yourself into the guard of the ox or of the plow with your sword. Then if the opponent will cut in from above or initiate a thrust from their right side, come forwards with a parrying action, shoot in the long point to the nearest opening of their left side, and see if you can lodge against them.

DE TRANSMUTATIONIS vel Transmissionis Vsu VARII habitus Transmutationis et usus sunt, quibus[^1] uti poteris contra gladiatores ex omnibus ictibus, qui feriunt contra enses potius, quam nuditates, ijs igitur uti addisces prudenter, ne dum Transmutatione tu uteris, hostis mucrone te appetat.

About the change-across or the Use of the sending across Diverse are the gestures and uses of the change-across, which you will be able to use from all strikes against gladiators, who strike more strongly against swords, than [against] openings, therefore, you will additionally learn to use them prudently, lest the enemy should seek you with the point, while YOU use the change across.[^2]

[75] Item. Or if they cut from their left side, come forwards with a parrying action and shoot the point straight in at the nearest opening of their right side.

Transmutationem hac ratione exercebis. Cum ad hostem proceßeris, supernè contra ipsum porrectim ferias caput adpetendo, verum si is contrè feriat, ensem et non corpus appetens, tunc mucronem infernè transmittas, priusquàm ensem tuum adversarius contingat, versusque latus alterum pungas. at si id fieri observarit hostis, et removere impetum conabitur, rursum memineris ensem transmittere versus alterum latus, eum igitur habitum toties exercebis, quoties adversarius tuendo se[^1] ensis tuo obviarit utrinque.

You will practice the change-across using this method. When you advance toward the opponent, you strike extended against his head attacking abovely, truly if HE strikes in opposition, attacking the sword and not the body, then send the point across below, before the adversary touches your sword, and you thrust against the other side. and if the enemy would have observed that this has taken place, and he will attempt to shift the forward attack, you will remember to send the sword across again in the direction of the other side, therefore employ this gesture as often as the adversary, protecting himself, opposes your sword on both sides.

[76] Item. Or if the opponent initiates a cut up from below from their right side, then shoot the point straight in at the nearest opening of their left side.

[100v.4] Item oder hawet er dir zu vonn Vnnden auf von seinner Linncken seiten. So scheusz Im den Ort lang ein zu seiner der vnndern Plösse seiner Rechten seiten.

Another form of the same. WHEN you proceed toward the adversary, you set the left foot in front, and you turn the longer point against his face, and if HE attacked striking your sword above or below, and tries to batter it [the sword] away, you thrust using the point inclined down and also turned in the direction of the other side, and practice this against all strikes.

[76] Item. Or if the opponent initiates a cut up from below from their right side, then shoot the point straight in at the nearest opening of their left side.

Etiam id observes, cum adversarius impetum exceperit, vel ensem tuum in primo conflictu contigerit, et si sui ensis mucronem non versus corporis tui nuditatem converterit, [Latin 94r Page 33] Verum iuxta latus frustra porrexerit, tum animosè ensem transfigas[*^3]: Sin vero pro facie tua mucronem tenuerit, vel nuditates versus, tum transmittere nolito, verum remaneas in ense ipsius haerens, atque inde contra proximam nuditatem laborabis, et ea ratione cavebis, ne te hostis urgere possit instando[^4]: neque mucronem nuditatibus tuis adiungere poterit.

Also observe this, when the adversary takes out the forward attack, or contacts your sword in the first clash, and if he turns the point of his sword so it isn't against an opening at your body, Truly, he extends in vain next to the side, then you courageously[*^2] thrust the sword through: But if you have kept your sword truly in front of your face, or the openings having been turned, then you do not want to send across, indeed you would remain adhering to the sword, and you would thence work against the closest opening, and you will avoid that action, the enemy cannot threaten you with pursuit: nor can he join the point to your openings.

[77]  Item. Or if the opponent initiates a cut up from below from their left side, then shoot the point straight in at the lower opening of their right side and always take care of the execution of the lodging during this. Then if they become aware of your shooting in and parry, then stay atop that using your sword and swiftly work to the nearest openings.

[101v.1] Item das Erst stuckh ausz den Nachreissen. das treib also / Wann du mit dem zufechten zu Im kompst. so setz den Linncken fuosz für. vnnd stee Inn der hut vom tag. vnnd sich gar eben was Er gögen dir ficht. hawet er dir dann oben Lanngckh einn von seinner Rechten Achselen. so versetz Im nit. vnnd wart das Eer. dich mit dem haw nit erlannge. so merckh die weil sein Schwert mit dem haw vnndersich geet gögen der erden.

drawing back of the sword This manner should be practiced against masters of Athletics, who, in the flash and clash of swords, have strongly increased a defense at the same time, And also against those, who do not withdraw from the conjunction of swords, awaiting whether the adversaries would want to direct a longer strike, or move the sword back [^2], If, therefore, you wish to deceive those masters, you use the sword in this manner by drawing back: you should strike from the right side fiercely against the head of the adversary, and if HE attempts to shift the forward attack, you draw the sword back before that one contacts it [the sword], thence moreover thrust at his other side, and use this gesture according to each contact at a time.

Another gesture from the preceding if the adversary has touched your sword. If, therefore, the adversary hesitates, looking in the collision of swords for you to not wish to draw your sword back, YOU shall simulate drawing the sword back, yet you should nevertheless adhere, Truly, the sword having been quickly drawn back all the way up to the middle, suddenly thrust at his face or chest near the sword, If, however, you have not truly thrust[^3] at the enemy, then use doublings, or employ whatever seemed best to you while doing it.

[79] Item. The first play about the game-pursuing Execute it like this: When you come to the opponent with the initiation of fencing, then advance your left foot and stand in roof guard, quite precisely observing what your opponent fences against you. Then if they cut in long from above from their right shoulder, do not parry them and see to it that they do not reach you with their cut. Then mark the moment during the cut that their sword goes down towards the ground, then spring into them with your right foot and cut in from above into the opening of their right side before they come back up with their sword, in this way they are struck.

TRANSCURSUS, ET LUCTAE[^1]. IIS habitibus uti poteris contra gladiatores, qui timentes vulnera et plagas incurrere solent, Hoc autem modo eos exerceas. Cum adversarius impetum tuum removerit, atque sublatis brachijs incurrere studeat, Viribus suis superné te superare cupiens, vicissim et tu brachia attollas, manuque sinistra ensis nodum supra caput eleves, strictus ensis per dorsum propendeat, inde autem caput per ipsius brachia, versus latus transfigas,> tum etiam dextrum pedem prosiliendo, dextro item ipsius postponas,> at in ipso saltu[^3], corpus hostis ex latere sinistro, dextro brachio circumdabis, eumque si dextrae coxae tuae inieceris, in caput adversarium praecipitato.

Running through, and about wrestling. You can use these conditions against gladiators, who are accustomed to run in, fearing wounds and strikes, Moreover, practice them in this way. When the adversary shifts your attack, and, his arms having been lifted, desires to attack, having wished to conquer YOU with his strength from above, YOU raise the arms quickly, and you lift up with the left hand the node of the sword above the head, the sword, drawn tightly, is inclined through the back, thence moreover, you thrust the head through his arms, toward his side, then also the right foot having been advanced. you have placed behind his right, and having leapt into him, you encircle the body of the enemy, from the left side with the right arm, and if you throw him using your right hip, cast down the adversary onto the head.

[80] Item. Another play. When the opponent over-commits themselves attacking and you cut behind that, then if they immediately rise up with their sword and parry, then stay strong against their sword using your long edge. if they then lift up with their sword, then spring well behind their right foot with your left and strike them on the right side of their head with a crosswise cut or whatever and immediately work back around to their left side using duplieren or with whatever other plays dependent on you sensing whether they are soft or hard against the sword and this is the coupling to the outside.

Another method of wrestling. If the adversary ran in with arms lifted, and YOU in turn do the same, then you should run through using the head in the direction of his right side, [subsumed into 6] you put/place the right foot foremost in front of the right [foot] of the adversary in the same way, and the right arm under his arm in the same way (the right having been stretched out), you will put [the arms] around the flanks of the opponent, and sink yourself downward a certain amount, thence if you cast him upon the right hip, cast the adversary off backwards, and practice this wrestling on both sides.

[81] Item. Yet another play. When the opponent over-commits themselves attacking and you cut behind that, then if you bind against the opponent's sword on their left side and then they immediately strike around from their act of parrying to your right side, then Indes, either advance ahead of them below their sword and toward their left side with a crosswise cut across their neck or spring to their right side with your left foot and according to their cut, either strike or cut behind that to their right side or conduct the slice across their arms into their head.

Another similar form. When HE would have run in toward your right side, and lifted his arms, YOU likewise having arranged yourself thusly, hold the sword with the right, and drive his arm away, thence leaping forward you put the left foot in front of the right foot of the adversary, also put the arms around his loins from the left, thence if you have sunk yourself a little, and you cast him upon the right hip, laying the opponent low on his face.

[82] Item. Yet another pursuing When you fence against the opponent either from rising cuts or from the sweeps or you bring yourself into the fool's guard facing them, then if they fall upon that with their sword before you come up, then stay against their sword like this with yours below and lift upwards. If they will either cut in from the act of parrying or wind in against your sword, then do not let them come off your sword and pursue them thereon and work to the nearest opening during this.

Another While the adversary is running in with raised arms, and YOU likewise would have stood in this way, hold the sword with the right hand, If thence he shifts his arm, place the left foot behind his right, (subsumed by 6) and you should stretch the left arm before his chest while seizing the left side, and if you place your left in his hip, you throw him back, therefore practice this wrestling on both sides.

If the enemy attacks with the sword lifted, in truth, with the hands somewhat lowered, if you shift the left [hand] from the sword, seize the right hand of the enemy on the inside between his other hand,[^3] thence turn back into his left side, and by holding the sword with the right hand strike the head abovely. But if you are not willing to strike, then while leaping forward with the right foot, place it behind the left of the adversary, and the right arm in front of his neck or in back of [his neck] if you have enveloped him, you strike him down by means of the right knee.

[85] Item. Note the ability to feel like this: When you come to the opponent with the initiation of fencing and one binds another against their sword, you shall immediately feel whether they have bound soft or hard while the swords clash together and as soon as you sense soft or hard, then reflect on the term Indes.

Another While the adversary runs in with a sword, but with his hands being lowered, shift your left hand from the sword as previously, you should direct the pommel using the right [hand] outwardly over the right hand of the opponent, and also press down: thence moreover if you seize his right elbow with the left hand and having leapt forward with the left foot, place [your left foot] in front of the enemy's right, you should press the adversary down using the same.

[86] Item. You shall now know that the ability to feel and the term Indes cannot exist without each other and understand it like this: When you bind against the opponent's sword, then you must feel soft or hard using the term Indes and when you feel, then you must again work Indes. In this way, they always occur with each other, because the term Indes is in all plays.

Another While the enemy runs in, YOU should cast the sword away, [your] right having been changed [inverted], seize his same right moreover you should seize his elbow of the opponent using the left,         thence, if, [something something] left foot by using your left arm,         you set his right arm in front,         and indeed you lift [his right arm],[^9] the enemy is blockaded, and you can shatter his upper arm, or you overthrow him facedown with your left foot.

[87] Note it like so: Indes doubles, Indes mutates, Indes disengages, Indes slips across, Indes takes the slice, Indes wrestles together, Indes takes the sword, Indes does what the heart desires, Indes is a sharp word. With it, all masters of the sword and those that do not understand nor know of this term Indes will be struck down.

HABITUS ABSCISIONIS. HIC habitus removet superintorsiones ensis tui, atque eum ita tractes necesse est. Si contra hostem Athleticam exerceas ex inferis ictibus, vel si te in custodiam composueris, quae nobis Populus dicitur, et is ensem suum tuo superimponat priusquam ensem attollas, ensis tuus inferné remaneat sub ipsius gladio, verum acie brevi firmiter si sustuleris, et si is suppreßerit, tum retrorsum atque furtim ab ipsius ense tuo remoto, celeriter iuxta ensem hostis superné faciem sauciato. Notes on streichen: Grimm, vol 19, col. 1228 2 b) streichen als ausdruck der fortbewegung fast jeder tierart. auch hier oft für den raschen lauf der tiere, γ) fliegen; anfangs 'sich rasch fliegend fortbewegen': explosive movement of animals 2) b) auf etwas aus sein und verstohlen oder forschend umherstreifen c) sich fortbewegen, streifen, mit dem nebensinn des lautlosen und zuweilen geisterhaften Grimm vol. 19, col 1193 2) b) sich (heimlich) davonmachen, sich verziehen, auch ausreiszen d) vereinzelt zur bezeichnung nicht optisch wahrnehmbarer erscheinungen; für einen akustischen vorgang Also, this has to be carried out stealthily in order for it to work.

Gesture of slicing off This gesture shifts the wrapping from above of your sword, and it is necessary to handle it thusly. If you employ Athletics against the enemy using the strikes from below[^2], or if you arrange yourself in the guard, which is called Popular/Poplar by us, and HE places his sword over yours before you lift up the sword[^1], your sword remains in contact below under his sword, truly, if you will strongly raise using the short edge, and if HE presses down, then your sword having been shifted backwards and stealthily[^3] away from his, quickly wound the face abovely next to the opponent's sword.

[88]  79 Pursuing twice,  Make the old slice with it. This is so that you shall conduct the pursuing to both sides and deliver the slice therein as well. Look at it like this: When the opponent over-commits themselves attacking before you, be it from either the right or from the left side, freely cut behind it into the opening. Then if they rise up and bind against your sword from below, then immediately note when one sword clashes against the other and then, "Indes", fall upon their arm with your long edge and either press downwards with your edge or execute a slice at their mouth.

[104r.1] Item merckh wann du Im starckh auf sein Schwert gepvnden Hast. schlecht er dann ausz der versatzunng vnntz dir zu der anndern seiten. so pindt Im aber mit der Lanngen schneidin starckh auf sein schwert oben zum kopf. vnnd arbait zu der plösse als vor das treib zu baiden seiten.

ANOTHER FORM Which you will use together with the strike from below toward the enemy in the approach, or while you stand in the guard Popular/Poplar, and HE strikes your sword thus near the hilt, in order to incline the point into the right side, then quickly lift the pommel over his sword[^3], you injure the head of the opponent (the long edge having been sent forward). or if he strikes your sword from the left side, The pommel having been lifted more quickly, as before, above the sword of the enemy,[^4] you will batter his head violently using the short edge.

[89]  80 Whoever twists upwards  Overrun it, they will be shamed. 81 When it clashes above,  Strengthen, This I will praise. 82 Make your work  Or press twice. This is when the opponent initiates fencing from below and how you shall overrun them. Look at it like this: When you come to the opponent with the initiation of fencing, then if they initiate a cut from below, do not parry them, rather note when their rising cut moves to oppose you, then cut long from above from your right shoulder and shoot in long either into their face or into their breast and lodge against them such that they cannot reach you from below. And if they rise up from below and parry, then remain against their sword with your long edge and work swiftly to the nearest opening.

DE QUATUOR INCISIONIBUS DUAE sunt supernae, quae usurpantur contra Athletas, qui digladiantur ex praemunitionibus, vel collisionibus ensium, solentque ferire contra latus alterum, quod incisione hoc modo prohibere poteris. Si adversarius exceptione, vel aliâs ensis coniunctione ex latere sinistro, atque subitò transversario vel alio ictu dextrum latus ferire conetur, tum ictum vitabundus sinistro pede in latus adversarij dextrum prosilias, et aciem ensis longam, brachijs adversarij utrisque superimponas, incîdendoque reprimas, et eo habitu utrinque utêris, quoties ex praemunitione[^6] alterum latus appetierit.

Regarding the four slices Two are above, which are used against Athletes, who flourish the sword from defensive positions, or from collisions of the swords, and they are in the habit of striking against the other side, you will be able to prevent that in this way using the slice. If the adversary were to attempt with an interception, or another contacting of the swords from the left side, and if he were to attempt to strike the right side using a sudden transverse or other strike, then you, taking evasive action with respect to the strike, would jump with the left foot into the right side of the adversary, and you place the long edge of the sword on top above both arms of the adversary, and you would press back using a slice, and you use this gesture from both sides, as often as he assails the other side from the defensive position.

[90] Item. Note when you have strongly bound against the opponent's sword, if they from their act of parrying strike around you to your other side, then bind them strongly on their sword again from above towards their head with your long edge and work to the opening as before. Conduct this to both sides.

[104v.2] Item ainannders stückh wann du steest zu deiner rechten seiten Inn dem Pflug. hawt er dir dann zu der Linncken seiten oben zu der plösse so far auf mit dem schwert. vnnd winnde damit auf dein Lincken seiten gögen seinem haw / das gehiltz vor dem haupt In dem Ochssen vnd schreit damit zu dem rechten fus / vnd stich In zu dem gesichte oder der brust / vnd die stuck treib von der lingken seitenn auch also aus dem Pflug

Inferiores duae incisiones exerceantur contra gladiatores sublatis brachijs incurrentes : ijs igitur hac ratione utitor, quoties adversarius ensem tuum ex primo congressu feriat, brachique sustulerit, atque sinistro latere incurrat, ensem tuum commutabis ita, ut pollex substet,[^6] acies longa itidem capulo ensis hostilis[^7] substet, pertingat autem brachium ipsius, ex ea forma incîdendo sursum tendas, vel si incurrat, brachijs levatis versus latus dextrum tuum, rursum ita ensem mutato ut pollex substet,[^8] acies brevis itidem capulo adversarij substituatur, brachium contingens, atque sursum si tollas, rite usus fueris ijs habitibus.

The two lower slices are practiced against gladiators running in arms lifted: during this therefore use this method, as often as the adversary strikes your sword out of the first approach, and he has lifted the arm, and he runs in to the left side, you will change your sword so, that the thumb stands below, the long edge in the same way stands below the hilt of the sword of the enemy, it would reach as far as his other arm, out of this form you should stretch toward (him) using a high slice, or if he runs in, the arms having been raised up against your right side, shift the sword backward so that the thumb stands below, the short edge is in the same way placed below with respect to the hilt of the adversary, touching the arm, and if you lift up, duly use this condition.

[91]  83 Learn to displace  Skillfully disrupting cuts and thrusts 84 Whoever thrusts at you  Your point hits and theirs breaks 85 From both sides  You will hit every time, if you'll step. Note when you come to the opponent with the initiation of fencing, if they subsequently set themselves against you as if they will thrust, then advance your left foot and position yourself in the guard of the plow on the right side and offering yourself open on your left. Then if they thrust into your opening, then wind to your left side with your sword against their thrust, your short edge opposing their thrust and with that displace such that your point stays facing them and with that step in with your right foot and Indes stab them either in the face or in the breast.

RATIO, UNDE SUPERN[A?]E incisiones ex infernis mutari et formari possint ID hoc modo percipias, Si adversarius versus sinistrum latus incurrat levatis brachijs, tum aciem ensis tui longam sub capulo constitutam in brachium hostis convertas, atque acriter sursum tendas, inde progressus in latus ipsius dextrum, nodo interim inferne converso non removeas ensem à brachijs adversarij, deinde converso ense ex incisione inferiori in supernam super brachium ipsius acie longa permißa, et iusté hoc habitu usus fueris.

A method, from which high cutting-ins from out of below are changed and may be shaped learn it thoroughly in this way, If the adversary runs in against the left side with raised arms, then turn the long edge of your sword under the hilt arranged in the arm of the opponent, and fiercely stretch upward, thence advancing toward his right side, meanwhile the pommel having been turned below you should not shift the sword away from the arms of the adversary, then the sword having been turned back out of the lower cutting into the upper [cutting], the long edge having been let through over his arm, and rightly you have used this gesture.

[92] Item. Another play When you stand in the plow on your right side, if the opponent subsequently cuts into your opening on your left side from above, then drive up with your sword and with that wind your hilt in the ox on your left side in front of your head and against their cut and with that step in with your right foot and stab them in their face or breast. This play is also conducted in this way from the plow on your left side.

[105r.2] Item die Durchwechslen treib allso Wann du mit dem zufechten zu Im kompst. so haw Im oben Lannckh ein zum köpf. hawet Er dann gögen dir zum schwert. vnnd nit zum leyb. so lass den Ort mit dem haw vnnden durchwischen.

Sin autem incurrat hostis versus dextrum latus sublatis itidem brachijs, tum ensem sub capulum eius substituas acie longa in brachium conversa, et firmiter tollas, inde si in sinistrum latus adversarij proceßeris, nodo inferné transacto, post convertas aciem longam super brachio hostis ex acie longa in formam incisionis, atque inde repellas.

But if, however, the enemy attacks/runs in towards the right side having lifted his arm in this way, then you place the sword under below his sword hilt, the long of the sword having been turned back into the arm, and lift firmly, thence if you proceed toward the left side of the adversary, the pommel having been transferred below, after you turn back the long edge above the arm of the enemy from/out of the long edge into the form of the slice, and thence you drive back.

[93]  86 Learn to disengage  From both sides stabbing sharply with it 87 Whoever binds upon you  Disengaging surely finds or slices the opponent Know that disengaging is many and varied and you can conduct them from any cut against fencers that cut to the sword and not to the openings of the opponent. You shall learn to conduct them quite well with prudence such that the opponent does not lodge against you while you disengage.

DE DUABUS INCLINATIONIBUS vel superiniectionibus[^1] ensis. ISTAE inclinationes nihil aliud sunt, quam habitus Aratri utrinque in ijs etiam observare licet et neceße est, num adversarius fortiter vel minus ensem teneat, ictibus atque punctionibus, tum etiam in prima ensium coruscatione. Insuper et hoc, Scito quatuor inde intorsiones esse exercendas[^2], et ex earum qualibet ictum singularem, punctionem, atque incisionem ex superno omnes formabis.

REGARDING THE TWO ANGLES of casting the sword over THESE angles are nothing other, than the postures of the Plow from both sides in which [postures] it is essential and also permitted to observe, whether the adversary holds the sword strongly or not enough, during the blows and thrusts, then also during the first flashing of the sword. And in addition to this, KNOW the four wrappings that are to be practiced, and out of these you can form any single strike, thrust, and cutting-in from above.

[94] Item. Execute disengaging like this: When you come to the opponent with the initiation of fencing, cut in long at the opponent's head, if they subsequently cut against your sword and not at your body, then let your point disengage below during the cut before they bind against your sword and stab them on the other side. Then if they become aware of the thrust and immediately chase your thrust with their sword with an act of parrying, then disengage again to the other side. And always conduct this when the opponent chases after your sword with an act of parrying on either side.

[105v.1] Item das stuckh merckh gar eben Wann er dir versetzt hat. oder sonst an dein schwert gepvnnden. helt er dir dann am schwert seinnen Ort nit gögen der Plösse deinns Leibs. vnnd laust den neben dir bey seitz auszgeen auf die seiten. So wechsel Im Kennlich durch oder bleibt er dir mit dem Ort vor dem gesicht oder gögen den plössen. so wechsel nit durch vnnd bleib am schwert. vnd Arbait Im damit zu der nechsten Plösse.

DE FENESTRA PATULA SUPRA commemoratum est, qua ratione in quatuor praedictas custodias ense regendo Athleticé te componere necesse sit. Nunc igitur intelligas eum habitum, quo de agimus, esse custodiam, qua tutißime consistere poteris, custodia autem ipsus mucro est, de acie longa, hic enim optima ensis pars est, et nobilissima : si qui igitur ex eo Athleticam rite exerceant, eò[^1] compellunt adversarios, ut etiam inuîti[^2] vulnerentur.

REGARDING THE WIDE-OPEN WINDOW It was called to mind[^3] above, a method by which it is essential to compose yourself athletically, the sword having been directed in the four aforesaid guards. Now therefore you would understand that posture, from which we start/originate, to be the guard, in which you can most safely stand, moreover the guard itself is the point[^4], of the long edge, here namely is the best part of the sword, and the noblest: if any therefore practice properly out of the same Athletics[^5], consequently they round up the adversaries, in order that the reluctant will be wounded.

[95] Item. Another disengaging. When you come to the opponent with the initiation of fencing, then advance your left foot and hold the long point against your opponent's face. Then if they will cut at your sword from either above or from below and intend to either bat it away or bind against it strongly, then let your point sink down and stab them on the other side and execute this against all cuts.

Fenestram autem patulam hoc modo formabis. Si in conspectum adversarij ense rite[^6] gubernando processeris, exercens ictum quemcunque, sive supero sive infero, tum subinde mucronem longum brachijs porrectis pariter ex ictu, inijcias contra hostis faciem vel pectus, atque ea conditione eum urgebis ad se defendendum, vel ut ensem tuum in primo congreßu feriat, id igitur si fecerit, acies ensis tui longa acriter eius ense inhaereat ; atque interim animo forti et indefesso diligenter perspicias, quos habitus adversarius exercere velit, si ab ense tuo receßerit hostis, tu mucrone subsequutus, visum vel pectus eius adpetito. Sin vero ex primi congreßus coruscatione alterum latus tuum ferire conetur, rursus firmiter brachia adversarij proscindas, atque contra eius caput naviter laborato. Verum si adversarius neque ab ense tuo recedere, neque latus alterum ferire voluerit, tum utitor duplationibus vel alijs quibusuis habitibus iuxta quod sentias eum fortiter vel infirmiter tenere ensem.

On the other hand, you will form the wide open window in this way. If, in view of the adversary, you moved forward, the sword being properly directed, employing whatever stroke, whether from above or from below, then immediately after the long point, the lower arm having been extended equally from the strike, you strike against the face or the chest of the enemy, and, in this deep thrust, you press him hard in the attack up to having defended himself, or he will strike your sword in the first approach, therefore, if he would do this, the long edge of your sword would stick fiercely to his sword ;[^7] and in the meantime, you would diligently observe with the strong and unwearied mind, what gesture the adversary wants to practice, if the enemy withdraws from your sword, with your sword following, seek his face or chest. But if in truth he attempts to strike your other side from the first flashing approach, you would strongly cut the arm of the adversary in turn, and work diligently against his head. Truly if the adversary neither withdraws from your sword, nor does he want to strike the other side, then use doubling or another from whatever gesture close to[^8] that which you perceive/feel him to hold his sword strongly or weakly.

[96] Item. Note this play quite precisely. When the opponent has parried you or has otherwise bound against your sword, if at the sword, they do not hold their point toward the openings of your body and let it go out next to you, off to your side, then boldly disengage. But if they remain with their point in front of your face or toward your openings, then do not disengage and remain at the sword and work with that to their nearest opening so they cannot pursue you nor lodge against you.

[106r.2] Item ein ander Zücken Wann er dir an dein Schwert gebvnnden hat steet er dann gögen dir am schwert vnnd wart ob du dich vom schwert wollest abzieche. so thuo als du wollest zucken vnnd bleib am schwert vnnd zuckh dein schwert biss ann die hellft der klinngen an dich. vnnd stich Im am schwert bald wider ein zum gesicht oder der.

Mucro longus longé omnium optimus habitus est, nanque eo ipso eô adversarius compellitur, si instes[^9], ut nec ullos habitus exercere queat, quocirca in omnibus ictibus eum exerceas contra ipsius faciem vel pectus, atque inde porrò[^10] varios habitus formes.

the longest long point of all is the best posture, and in fact the adversary is driven in that direction using the same, if you threaten, in order that he were not even able to employ any gestures, on account of which you should employ it in (regard to) all strikes against his face or chest, and thence you would form various further/extended postures.

[97]  88 Tread close in binds,  So that withdrawing suddenly gives good opportunities. 89 Withdraw suddenly. If they engage, withdraw suddenly again.  It reveals work that does them harm. 90 Withdraw suddenly from all engagements  If you wish to make a fool of the masters Know that withdrawing suddenly is appropriate to conduct against the masters that bind strongly against the sword by an act of parrying and against those that remain still at the sword and watch whether someone will either over-commit themself attacking in front of it or draw themselves off the sword. If you subsequently wish to deceive or make a fool of those masters, then conduct a sudden withdrawal against them like this: Cut in strongly from above at their head from your right side, if the opponent speeds toward it and will parry, then suddenly withdraw your sword toward yourself before they can bind against it, then stab them on the other side and do this in all engagements of the sword.

Etiam isthuc Fenestra patula adpellatur : Cum ferme in conspectum adversarij fueris progressus, sinistrum pedem praeponas, atque mucronem longum brachijs porrectis contra adversarij faciem vel pectus protendas, priusquam eius ensem contigeris, eaque ratione consistas quid ferire, vel quos habitus contra te sit usurpaturus prospectans. Cum superné feriat, tum sublato ense, eum contra ictum ipsius convertas in Bovis habitum, et inde visum pungas. Sin autem ensem tantum ferire studeat corpore neglecto, audacter transmutato et alterum latus pungito, Sin autem incurrat elevatis brachijs, infernam incisionem usurpato, at si ea demiserit, luctari poteris, ea itaque ratione quoscunque habitus per brachia usurpare licebit, qui tibi optimi videbuntur.

And also the wide-open window is addressed on this point: When you would be approaching nearly in view of the adversary, place the left foot in front, and stretch the long point against the face or chest of the adversary, the arms having been extended, until you contact his sword, and you stand to strike anyone using that method, or look forward at which gesture would have been made use of against you. When he strikes above, then the sword having been lifted, you should turn against his thrust in(to) the Ox posture, and thence thrust at the face. But if, however, he desires to strike only to the sword, the body having been disregarded, bravely change-about and thrust at the other side, but if, however, he runs in (the arms having been raised), use a low cutting-in, and if he sends that away, you can wrestle, therefore by this method, the gesture permits overthrowing anyone by the arms, which would seem best to you.

[98] Item. Another play. When the opponent has bound against you against your sword, if they subsequently stand opposing you in the bind and watch whether or not you withdraw from the sword, then act as if you will suddenly withdraw and stay at the sword and suddenly withdraw your sword towards yourself just to the mid-part of the blade and suddenly thrust back against their sword into their face or breast. If you do not rightly connect with your thrust, then work by doubling or otherwise with other plays, whatever seems best to you.

[107r.1] Item ainannder Rinngen wann Eer dir einlaufet mit aufgereckten Armen. Vnnd du Im wider. so lauf Im durch mit dem haupt zu seinner rechten seiten. vnnd schreit mit dem rechten fuoss forn fur sein rechten. vnnd far Im mit dem rechten arm vnnder seinnen rechten Arm. durch hinden vmb seinnen Leyb. vnnd sennckh dich ain wennig nider.

Verum ex quatuor praedictis inclinationibus octo intorsiones formantur, idque diligenter observes, ut ex qualibet intorsione singulariter unum ictum, punctionem, atque incisionem producas.

On wrappings with the sword You need to have been practiced in those individual conditions, In order that you can practice them quickly, and for every attack of the adversary, which is used against you, you could wisely move back. Also if you recall there to be four origins of the angles, two above, and also two likewise below. The above ones are indeed called Ox, While belowly Plow on both sides. Truly out of the four aforesaid angles eight wrappings are formed, and you should observe them diligently, in order that from any wrapping you bring out in particular one strike, thrust, and slice.

[99]  91 Rush through, let hang  Grab with the pommel if you wish to grapple. 92 Whoever strengthens against you,  Remember to rush through with it. Wrestling in the long sword Note slipping through and wrestling are appropriate to conduct against the masters that like to rush in and conduct it like this. When the opponent parries you and with that rises up high with their arms, rushes in and tries to overwhelm you with strength from above, then rise up with your arms as well and hold your sword above your head with your left hand by the pommel and let your blade hang down back across your back and slip beneath their arms to their right side with your head and spring behind their right foot with your right and during the spring move your right arm against the opponent's left side, well around their body and in this way, fasten them against your right hip and throw them down on their head in front of you.

[107r.2] Item aber ainannder Rinngen. wann er dir einlaufer zu deinner Rechten seiten. vnnd ist hoch mit den Armen. vnnd thu auch. so halt deinn schwert zu der rechten hanndt. vnnd stosz da In mit seinnem Arm von dir vnnd sprinng mit deinnem Lincken fuosz. forn fur seinn Rechten. vnnd far Im mit dem Linncken Arm wol hinnden vmb sein Leib. vnnd sennck dich ain wenig Nider. vnnd fass In auf dein Linncken huf. vnd wirf In fur dich auf das Anntlitz/

Iam vero percipies, quo pacto[^3] ex quatuor inclinationibus octo intorsiones[^4] formare possis, Prima duas habet intorsiones, eas igitur hac subsequenti ratione exerceas, Cum ense tuo Athleticae[^5] regendo ad hostem conceßeris, de latere dextro consistas in Bovis habitu, et si is superné versus latus tuum sinistrum feriat, tum ob[ ]viam ictui eius, ensem torqueas, ita ut aciem brevem tui ensis, eius gladio applices in habitu Bovis, atque inde visum pungere non dubites, et is[^6] habitus dicitur intorsio. Sin autem adversarius eum impetum removere conetur de latere sinistro, ensis tuus ensi eius adiunctus remaneat[^7], atque rursum ensem inde torqueas in latus tuum dextrum in habitum Bovis, ut acies longa, ipsius ensem contingat, rursumque superné faciem hostis fodito, et is habitus dicitur inclinatio ex latere dextro adhibitis duabus intorsionibus in hostis ense.

Now truly perceive, in which manner you can form eight wrappings out of the four angles, The first [angle] has two wrappings, you should therefore practice these using this following method, When you go together with the enemy, your sword being directed for Athletics, you should stand in the posture of Ox from the right side, and if HE strikes abovely against your left side, then in the path[^8] of his blow, you should twist the sword, so that you apply the short edge of your sword, to his blade in the posture of Ox, and thence don't hesitate to thrust at him in the face, and THIS gesture is called wrapping. But if, however, the adversary tries to shift that forward attack from[^9] the left side, your sword should remain bound to his sword, and you should thence twist the sword backwards on your right side in the posture of Ox, such that the long edge, touches his sword, and dig above and backwards at the face of the opponent, and IT is a posture called Angle from the right side[,] the two wrappings having been employed[^11] on the sword of the opponent.

[100] Item. Another wrestling When the opponent rushes in with uplifted arms and you do the same, slip your head through to their right side and step forwards in front of their right foot with your right and pass your right arm through below the opponent's right arm, around their body and sink yourself down a little and fasten them to your right hip and throw them behind you. You shall conduct this initiation of wrestling on both sides.

[107r.3] Item aber Ainannder Rinngen wann er dir einlaufet vnnd ist hoch mit den armen vnnd du auch. so soltu dein schwert Inn der rechten hannd hallten. vnd so stöss Im damit sein arm von dir / vnnd sprinng mit dem Linncken fuosz hinder sein gerechten vnnd far mit dem Linncken arm. vnnden durch vor seinner prust. Inn seinn Linncke seiten. vnnd fass In auf dein Lincke hufft vnnd wirf In hinder dich. die zway rinngen treib auch zu baiden seiten

Secundam ensis superiniectionem[^12] hac ratione exerceto additis duabus alijs. Si in conspectum adversarij fueris progressus, de latere sinistro in Bovis habitu consistas : et si hostis superne contra latus dextrum tuum feriat, tum aciem ensis tui longam, ipsius ensi adplices, atque superne visum ipsius pungas, et is habitus intorsio est, sin autem punctionem eam repellat versum latus suum dextrum, remaneas ab ipsius ense haerens, inde autem subito rursus in latus sinistrum ensem torqueas in habitum Bovis, ita ut brevis acies adversarij ensi adplicetur, atque ex hac forma superné visum hostis pungas, idque est secunda superiniectio de latero sinistro adhibitis rursum duabus in ense hostis intorsionibus.

Practice the second method to cast the sword over, two others having been added. If you stepped forward into view of the adversary, you stand in the Ox from the left side: and if the opponent strikes above against your right side, then you apply[^13] the long edge of your sword, to his sword, and thrust above at his face, and THIS gesture is the wrapping, but if, however, he drives that thrust back toward his right side, you stay by adhering to his sword, thence also you twist the sword back on the left side into the posture of the Ox, so that the short edge is applied to the sword of the adversary, and out of that form you thrust at the face of the enemy abovely, and THAT is the second method to cast over from the left side, the two wrappings having been used in turn on the sword of the enemy.

[101] Item. Another wrestling When the opponent rushes in on you to your right and is high with their arms and you are as well, hold your sword in your hand and shove their arms away from you with that and spring forwards in front of their right foot with your left and pass your arm way back around their body and sink yourself down a little and fasten them to your left hip and throw them on their face.

Observandum tibi insuper erit, ex duabus infernis proclinationibus itidem quatuor intorsiones exercendas eße, quod est Aratrum utrinque, ut super memoratum est, adhibitis earum habitibus singulis ex superno ictu formatis. Quoties igitur cunque intorsionum generibus voles uti, semper ictus, punctionis, atque incisionis memor esto, quos habitus usurpare ut supra dictum est, oportet[^14].

It will have been observed to you above, four wrappings are likewise to be employed from the two lower forward angles, because the Plow is on both sides, in order that it is remembered on top of that, [that] every gesture of these [feminine - wrappings or forward angles] having been employed are formed from the strike from above.[^15] therefore, as often as is proper, whenever you want to make use of the class of wrappings, always be mindful of the strike, thrust, and cut, in order to make use those gestures as was said above.

[102] Item. Yet another wrestling Whenever the opponent rushes in on you and is high with their arms and you are as well, you shall hold your sword in your right hand and shove their arm away from you with that and spring behind their right foot with your left and pass your left arm down through in front of their breast to their left side and fasten them to your left hp and throw them behind you. Execute these two wrestlings on both sides.

[107v.2] Item wann Er dir einlaufft. Im schwert Vnnd hellt die hennd Nider. so verker dein Linncken hannd. vnnd begreif damit sein rechte.

Igitur ex octo intorsionibus proveniunt viginti quattuor habitus tot enim octo ex sese pariunt. Qua autem ratione iis sit utendum, et contra quos habitus,[^2] nec non quomodo formentur aut quando sit usurpandum, partim in superioribus, partim vero ex subsequentibus cognosci potest.

Therefore from eight windings you can find twenty-four gestures, namely as many as the eight produce from themselves. Moreover, one would use these (24) for whichever method, and against those gestures, and also, how it is formed or when it is to be used, you can find some in the preceding, some in the following.[^3]

[103] Note whenever the opponent rushes in into your sword and holds their arms down so you cannot rush through, conduct these wrestlings written hereafter.

[107v.3] Item Aber ainannder Rinngen Wann er dir einlaufft Im schwert. vnnd ist nider mit den hennden. So lass dein Linncken hannd vorn vom schwert. vnd mit der Rechten far Im mit dem knopf aussen vber sein rechte hannd. vnd truckh damit nider. vnnd fass Inn mit der Linncken hannd bey dem rechten Elenpogen. vnnd sprinng mit dem Lincken fuosz fur sein rechten. vnnd truckh Inn also daruber.

Extras

a

[104] Item. Whenever the opponent rushes in into your sword and holds their arms down, invert your left hand and seize their right with it from the inside, between both of their hands and with that drag them to your left side and strike them across their head with your sword with your right. But if you do not wish to strike, then spring behind their left foot with your right and pass your right arm around their neck, ahead or behind and throw them over your right knee in this way.

[108r.1] Ainn annders

[105] Item. Yet another wrestling Whenever the opponent rushes in on you at the sword and is low with their hands, then let your left hand go forwards away from your sword and with your pommel, pass over their right hand from the outside and press down with it and with your left, catch the opponent by their right elbow and with your left foot, spring in front of their right and push them over it.

[108r.2] Item aber ainannder Rinngen wann er dir einnlaufft Im schwert. so lass dein schwert fallen. vnnd verker dein rechte hannd. vnd begreif damit sein gerechte. auswendig.

[106] Item. Another wrestling Whenever the opponent rushes in on you at the sword, then invert your left hand and pass over their right arm with it and seize their sword between both of their hands and drag them to your left side with that so that you take their sword from them.

[107] Item. Yet another wrestling Whenever the opponent rushes in on you at the sword, then let your sword drop and invert your right hand and with it seize their right from the outside and with your left catch the opponent by their right elbow and with your left foot spring in front of their right and with your right hand shove their right arm over your left and lift it upwards so that they are locked. In this way you can either break their arm or throw them over your left leg.

[108v.2] Item ainannders Wann du zu Im fichtest mit vnnder hewen. oder Ligst Inn der hut Alber. fellt er dir dann mit dem schwert auf das dein nachent bey dem gehultz. das sein Ort zu der rechten seiten auszgeet.

Vnnd das haissent die schnappen oder die schnellen.

e

[108]  93 Cut off the hard ones  From below in both paths This is a break against the over binding of your sword. Execute it like this: When you fence with your opponent from rising cuts or from antagonizing cuts or if you lay against your opponent in the guard here called the fool, if they then fall upon that with their sword before your come up with yours, keep against their sword from below, and lift firmly upwards with your short edge. If they subsequently push down strongly, then with your sword against their sword's blade, sweep off backwards, away from their sword from below and immediately cut back in against their sword from above into their face.

[108v.3] Vier seinn der schnit zwen vnden zwen oben mit Item merckh die vier schnit.

f

[109]  Item. Another wrestling. When you initiate fencing to your opponent's body with rising cuts or if you lay in fool's guard, if they subsequently fall upon your sword near your hilt with their own such that their point goes out to your right side, then swiftly rise up over their sword with your pommel and strike them in the head with your long edge. Or if they bind atop your sword to your left side, then swiftly rise up over their sword with your pommel and strike them in their head with your short edge. This is called snapping or springing.

[109r.2] Item die Zwen vnnderschnidt gehoren zetreiben Gögen den fechtern. die da einnlauffen mit aufgerichten Armen. vnnd die treib also. wann er dir an dein schwert pinndet es sey mit versatzung oder sunnst. fert er dann hoch auf. mit den Armen. vnnd Laufft dir ein mit seiner Linncken seiten. So. wennde deinn schwert das dein dawmen vnnden komen mit der Lanngen schneidin vnnder. sein gehultz Inn seinn Arm. vnnd truckh mit dem schnidt. vbersich

g

[110]  94 Four are the slices  With two from below, two from above. Item. Note these four slices. Firstly, the two from above are appropriate to conduct against the fencers that like to strike around to the other side from the act of parrying or from the bind of the sword. Preemptively break that with the slice like this: When the opponent binds against your sword on your left side with a parry or otherwise and immediately strikes back around to your right via a crosswise cut, spring to their right side with your left foot, away from their cut and fall across both their arms from above with your long edge and press them away from you via the slice. You shall conduct this from both sides at any time they strike around from an act of parrying.

[109r.3] Oder laufft er dir ein mit aufgerichten Armen zu deinner Rechten seiten. so verwennde dein schwert das dein daumen. vnnden kömen mit der Kurtzen schneidin vnnder sein gehultz. Inn sein arm. vnnd truckh mit dem schnit vbersich. Das seind die vier schnit

h

[111] Item. The two slices from below are appropriate to conduct against the fencers that rush in with uplifted arms. Execute them like this: When the opponent binds against your sword, be it with an act of parrying or whatever, if they subsequently rise up high with their arms and rush in, to your left side, then twist your sword around into their arms with your long edge under their hilt so that your thumb comes below and press upwards with the slice.

[109r.4] Dein schneyden wennd  züflichen druckh dein hend [109v.1] Das Ist wie du die Obern schnidt solt wechslen ausz der Vndern. das merck allso. wann er dir einlaufet zu deinner Linncken seiten. mit aufgerichten Armen. So verwennd dein schwert. mit der Lanngen schneidin vnder sein gehultz Inn sein Arm. vnnd truckh fast vbersich vnnd schreit damit auf sein rechte seiten vnnd wennde den knopf mit vnnden durch. vnnd kom mit dem schwert nit [sic ?] von seinnen Armenn. vnnd wend das schwert auss dem vnndern schnidt. Inn den Obern vber sein Arm mit der Lanngen schneid.

i

[112] Or if the opponent rushes in with uplifted arms to your right side, then twist your sword around into their arms with your short edge under their hilt so that your thumb comes below and press upwards with the slice. These are the four slices.

[109v.2] Item Laufft er dir ein zu deinner rechten seiten. Mit aufgerichten Armen. so wennd Im dein schwert mit der kurtzen schneidin. vnder sein gehiltz. Inn seinn arm vnnd truckh fast vbersich vnnd schreit auf sein Linncken seiten. vnd lass den knopf mit vnnden durchgeen. vnnd wennde das schwert mit der Lanngen schneidin. Iber seinn Arm Inn den schnidt. vnnd truck von dir.

j

[113]  95 Turn your slice  To escape, press your hands This is about how you shall shift to the upper slice from the lower. Note it like this: When the opponent runs in with uplifted arms to your left side, then twist your sword around into their arms with your long edge under their hilt and press upwards firmly and with that, step to their right side and with that, turn your pommel through below and do not come away from their arms with your sword and turn your sword from the lower slice into the upper, over their arms with your long edge.

[109v.3] Von den henngen Zway henngen werden ausz ainner hand von der erden [110r.1] Inn allem gefert haw stich leger waich oder hert Wisz die zway henngen von der Erden. das ist der pflug vonn baiden seiten. dar Inn soltu auch haben das fullen Inn hewen vnd stichen. vnnd Im bannd des schwerts. ob er dar Ime waich oder hert ist.

k

[114] Item. If the opponent runs in with uplifted arms to your right side, the turn your sword into their arms with your short edge underneath their hilt and press upwards firmly and step to their left side and let your pommel go through below and turn your sword over their arms into the slice with your long edge and press them away from you.

[110r.2] Auch soltu wissen das du darauss solt treiben Vier winnden. vnnd auss einner Jeden besonnder ain haw / ainn stich / vnnd ain schnit als ausz den Obern.

l

[115] About the hangings 96 Two hangings emerge  From the ground out of each hand 97 In every application  Cut, Thrust, Position, Soft or Hard Know that the two hangings from the ground, this is the plow from each side. In these, in cuts and thrusts and in the bind of the sword you shall possess the ability to feel whether the opponent is soft or hard.

[110r.3] Von dem Sprechfenster. Sprachfenster mach stannd frolich besich sein sach wer sich vor dir zeuchet ab schlag In schnell das er schnab [110v.1] Ich sage fürwar kain man schützet sich on far hastu vernommen zu schlag mag er klain komen Item merckh du hast vor gehort. wie du Dich vor dem mann. mit dem schwert sollt schickhen Inn die vier hut. so soltü Nunn wissen das. das sprechfennster ist ain hut dar Inn du wol sicher magst stehen. vnnd die hut ist der Lanng Ort / der ist die edlest vnnd Böste wehre am schwert. wer daraus recht Fechten kann der zwinnget den Mann damit Das er sich on seinnen dannckh schlagen muss lassen. vnd mag dauor zuschlagen nit wol komen.

m

[116] You shall also know how to conduct four windings from them. And from each particular one: a cut, a thrust and a slice, like from the upper hangings.

[110v.2] Item das Sprechfennster mach also. Wann du mit Dem zufechten zum mann geest. mit welchem haw du dann an In kompst. Es sey ain Ober oder ain Vnnder haw. so lass Im den Ort alweg Lanng auss den Armen. mit dem haw einschiessen zum gesicht oder der Prust. damit zwingstu In daz er muosz versetzen oder anbinnden.

n

[116] You shall also know how to conduct four windings from them. And from each particular one: a cut, a thrust and a slice, like from the upper hangings.

[111r.2] Item so soltü die sprechfennster / das sennd zwu hut auss Dem Langen Ort. eine am schwert. vnnd die anndern vor dem Mann. ee wann du Im ann seinn schwert pindest. oder die schwert. zusamen glitzen. vnd ist doch Inn Im selber nit mer dann ain hut.

o

[117]  98 Make the speaking window  Stand freely, watch their situation. 99 Whoever withdraws themselves before you,  Strike them so that it snaps. 100 I say to you truthfully  No one defends themselves without danger 101 If you have understood  They cannot come to blows Note you have heard before about how you should place yourself into the four guards with your sword in front of your opponent, you shall know that the speaking window is a guard in which you can stand fully secure in and this guard is the long point which is the noblest and the best defence in the sword. Whoever can fence from it correctly, they constrain their opponent with it in such a way that the opponent must allow themselves to be struck without their consent and therefore cannot easily come to blows.

[111r.3] Item Ich sag furwar Das der lanng Ort die Edlest wehre am schwert ist. wann damit zwingstu den Mann. das er sich schlagen muosz lassen. vnnd daruor zu kainnem schlag mag komen Darumb soltu mit allen hewen den Ort einntreiben dem Mann zu der Prust. oder zum gesichte. vnnd furbas daraus treiben stich vnnd schleg

p

[118] Item. Make the speaking window like this: Whenever you move toward your opponent with the initiation of Fencing, with whichever cut you subsequently come against them, be it a rising or descending cut, always let your point shoot in long from your arms with your cut into their face or breast. With this you constrain them so that they must parry or bind. And when they have bound like this, remain strong against their sword with your long edge and stand easy and watch their situation for whatever they will further fence. If they draw themselves back off from your sword, then follow behind them with your point toward their face or breast; or if they strike around leaving the bind to the other side, then slice strongly across their arms and work in from above to their head. But if they will not withdraw from your sword, nor strike around, then work by doubling or else using other plays thereafter as you sense whether they are strong or weak against your sword.

[111v.1] Item merckh das haist auch ain sprechfennster. Wann du schier mit dem zufechten zum Mann kumen bist. so setz den Lincken fuoss fur. vnnd halt Im den Ort lannckh auss den Armen gögen dem gesicht. oder der Prust Ee wann du Im an das schwert pinndest. vnnd stee frolichen. vnnd besich was er gögen dir fechten woll. hawt er dir dann oben ein. So far auf mit dem schwert vnd winnd Gögen seinnem haw Inn den Ochsen. vnnd stich Im zum gesichte oder hawt er dir zum schwert. vnd nit zum Leyb. So wechsel kenlich durch. vnnd stich Im zu der anndern seiten. oder laufft er einn. vnd ist hoch mit den Armen. so treib den vndern schnidt Oder ist er nider mit den Armen. so wart der Rinngen. Also magstu Alle stuckh auss den armen treiben Welches dir am Pössten ist /

q

[119] Item. So you shall know that the speaking windows are two guards from the longpoint. One against the sword and the other in front of the opponent before you either bind against their sword or before the swords clash together and yet they are nothing more than a single guard.

[111v.2] Von den winnden Wer wol füeret vnnd wol pricht  vnd entlich gar bericht  vnd bricht besonnder  jetlichs Inn drey wonnder  wer recht wol hennget  vnnd winnden damit prinnget [112r] vnd der winnden acht mit rechtem wegen betracht vnd Ir ainer der winden salb drit so zweintzig vnd vier zele sy einntzig von baiden seyten Acht winnden leren mit schreyten . vnnd prieff die gefert nit mer dann waich oder hert Das ist ain Lere vnnd ermannung. der Kunnst des schwerts. das du dar Inn gar wol pricht vnnd geiebt sollt sein. das du sy behenndigelich kinndest fueren vnnd mit behenndigkait die prüch gögen seinnen stuckhen recht treiben allso das du auf Jeden pruch besvnnder soldt treiben die drew wvnder / die Dir hernach ausgericht werden. Auch soldu wissen die Vier henngen. der sein zway vnnden. vnnd zway oben Die obern das ist der Ochs / die vndern das ist der Pflug zu baiden seiten. vnnd auss den Vier henngen soltu pringen Acht winnden. soltu furbas also treiben betrachten vnnd recht erwegen. Das du auss Jedem winnden solt besvnnder treiben ain haw vnnd ain stich vnd ainnen schnit. Das sennd die vorgeschribnen Vier winnden.

r

[120] Item. I say to you truthfully that the longpoint is the noblest defence against the sword because with it you constrain the opponent such that they must allow you to strike them and therefore cannot come to blows whatsoever. For this reason you shall drive your point into the breast or into the face of the opponent with all cuts and from there extended further thrusts and strikes.

[112v.1] Item hie merckh wie du auss den vier henngen Solt treiben Acht winden. das erst vberhenngen hat zwu winnden. das treib also. wann du mit dem zufechten zu Im kompst. so stee von deinner Rechten seiten Inn dem Ochsen. hawt er dir dann oben ein zu deiner Linncken seiten so winnde gögen seinnem. entgögen die kürtze schneide an seinem schwert aber Im Ochsen. vnnd stich Im oben ein zum gesichte Das ist ain winnden. Setzt er den stich ab seinner Linncken seiten. so bleib am schwert. Vnnd winnd wider auf dein rechte seiten Inn den Ochsen die Lanng schneid an sein schwert vnnd stich Im oben einn zum gesicht. Das ist ain henngen von deinner Rechten seitenn mit zwaien winnden an seinnem schwert.

s

[121] Item. This is also called the speaking window. When you have almost come to the opponent with the initiation of fencing, then advance your left foot and hold your point extended from your arms against the opponent's face or breast the moment before you bind against their sword and stand easy and watch for whatever they will fence against you. If the opponent subsequently cuts in from above, then move up with your sword and wind into the ox against their cut and stab them in their face. But if they cut at your sword and not at your body, the boldly disengage and stab them on the other side. Or if they rush in and are high with their arms, then conduct the lower slice. but if they are low with their arms then seek the wrestling. In this way you can execute all plays from your arms which seem best to you.

[112v.2] Item das annder oberhenngen. aber Mit zwaien henngen. das treib also. wann du mit dem zufechten zu Im kompst. so stee von deinner Lincken seiten. Im Ochsen. hawt er dir dann oben ein zu deinner rechten seiten. so winde gögen seinnem haw die Lanng schneidin an sein schwert. vnnd stich Im oben ein zum gesicht. Das ist aber ain winnden. setzt er den stich ab gögen seinner Rechten seiten. so bleib am schwert. Vnnd winnd wider auf dein Linncken seiten. Inn den Ochsen. die kurtzen schneidin. an sein schwert. vnnd stich Im oben ein zum gesicht. das ist das annder vberhenngen von der Linncken seiten. Aber mit zwaien winnden. an seinem schwert.

[122] The distillation of the new recital 102 Who fully commands and correctly breaks  And makes complete irrefutable judgement 103 And breaks each one individually  Into three wounders 104 Who hangs consummately and correctly  And carries out windings with it 105 And considers the eight winds  With correct judgement 106 And unites them.  The windings, I differentiate trebly 107 Thus they are twenty  And four counting them individually. 108 From both sides  Learn eight windings with steps 109 And gauge these applications  Nothing more than soft or hard This is a lesson and exhortation of the art of the sword so that you shall be extremely well ready and practiced therein so that you shall command them instantly and correctly conduct the breaks against the opponent's plays with agility. In this way, upon each break you shall conduct one of the three wounders that will be explained to you hereafter. You shall also know about the four hangings, which are the two lower and the two upper. The upper, that is the ox; the lower, that is the plow; on both sides and from these four hangings you shall carry out eight windings and you shall correctly judge and consider these eight winds so that you specifically conduct a cut, a thrust and a slice from each winding. These are the afore written four winds.

[113r] Item Nun soltu wissen das du aus den Zwaien vnndern henngen. das ist der Pflug von baiden seiten. auch soltu dreiben vier winnden. mit allen Iren geferten. als ausz den obern. das sennd die acht winnden. vnnd als offt du winndest. so gedennckh Inn ainem Jeglichen winnden besonnder an den haw vnnd stich. vnnd an den schnidt / Also komen ausz Acht winnden. Vier vnnd zweintzig. vnnd aus welichen winnden vnnd gögen welchen stucken vnd gögen welichen hawen du den haw oder stich oder den schnidt treiben sollt. das finndest du alles vor Inn den stucken geschriben.

[123] Item. Here note how you shall conduct eight winds from the four hangings. The first overhanging has two winds. Conduct them like this: When come to the opponent with the initiation of fencing, then setup in ox from your right side. Then if they cut at your left side from above, then wind against their cut, your short edge against their sword again in ox and thrust in at their face from above. This is one winding. If they displace your thrust toward their left side, then stay against their sword and wind back to your right side into the ox, your long edge against their sword and thrust in at their face from above. This is one hanging from your right side with two winds against their sword.

v

[124] Another Item. The second overhanging, again with two winds. Conduct it like this: When you come to the opponent with the initiation of fencing, setup in ox from your left side. If the opponent subsequently cuts in from above to your right side, then wind against their cut, the long edge against their sword and thrust in at their face from above. This is yet another winding. If the opponent displaces your thrust toward your right side, then stay against their sword and wind back to your left side into the ox, the short edge against their sword and thrust in at their face from above. This is the second overhanging from your left side, again with two winds against their sword.

w

[125] Item. Now you shall know that from the two lower hangings, that is the plow from both sides, you shall also conduct four winds with all their applications like from the upper. These are the eight winds. And every time you wind, reflect specifically on the cut and on the thrust and on the slice in each and every winding. In this way we arrive at twenty-four from these eight winds. And from whichever one of the winds you shall, conduct the cut or the thrust or the slice against which plays and against which attacks, you will find all of that before, written in the plays.
