Latin 16r

Page:MS Latin 11269 16r.jpg

Colla super teneo mucronem. sentis et istud.
Nunc mortis patieris opus. nec fata negabunt.


Dexteriore tui cadet ensis parte / sinistra
Si me voluo celer / sed strictis artubus ante.

Italian

You feel the sword that I have set at your neck 
And I will show you death on the ground.

[26a-b] Tu senti che la spada al collo t'o posta
E de morte in tera io te[1] faro mostra

If I turn myself close on your left side,
Your sword will be lost from your right hand.

[26a-c] Si io me volto streto dela parte riverssa
Dela drita man la spada tua sera perssa

English 16r

I hold the sword at your neck. And you feel that.
He will now suffer the work of death. And will not deny his fate.

Your sword will fall from the rightmost part, if
I turn swiftly to the left, and also with the limbs compressed in front.[2]

  1. ↑ Corrected from "de".
  2. ↑ Note that the illustration is incorrect, showing the left side combatant with a hand on the hilt of the sword but no hand on the blade, which would make compressing the limbs much harder than in the Getty or Pisani-Dossi illustrations of this technique. The Latinist has inserted a phrase not in the Italian which provides a detail about the technique that's lost in the picture.
