¶ I, the Lynx, defeat all things born under the heavens by means of [my] discerning eyes,
to try measuring everything will be satisfying
Prudence
¶ I am swift in the course and I will turn those who appear/attack unexpectedly in circles,[8]
and they can't overcome me, the Running Tiger, using lightning.
Swiftness
¶ I am the strong peak of quadrupeds.
My boldnesses sprang forth, likewise beneath the polestar. now it conquers
and overcomes the lion of the heart. Therefore we call everyone to arms
Audacity
- ↑ 'subitos' is problematic, meaning plural masculine things that appear or attack unexpectedly. 'subito' is an adverb meaning 'suddenly', which appears several other times in the text. 'subitos' only appears here.
- ↑ The final letters are obliterated; the likeliest candidates are "am" or "or"
- ↑ This word does not appear in any dictionary. It must be a misspelling of some word related to lightning such as fulmen or a conjugation of fulminare.
- ↑ This abbreviation can also be read "nec."
- ↑ This punctuation mark is not used elsewhere in the text, and its meaning is not known. It could be a tie-mark indicating a word written in the margin and labeled with this punctuation should be inserted here.
- ↑ These words are not visible in standard photography; this reading is based on ultraviolet imaging.
- ↑ The bottom of the page, including the elephant verse, has been cut off.
- ↑ This reading assumes 'revolvam'. The alternate reading with 'revolvor' would be: I am swift in the course and I am suddenly turned in circles. This requires a reading of 'subitos' as an error for 'subito' because there are no accusative, plural, masculine nouns in this reading that make sense.

Now I carry the spear moving quickly underneath in the manner of the boar's tusk.
And in order that I be able to cause [yours][3] to diverge, I will penetrate the marrows.
¶ Lo, I come, holding back my javelin at the womanly breast.
I don't fear touching the ground due to my flexible knees.
And I would strike, having marked [you] black and blue[4], nevertheless, your lance will lose [the fight]
- ↑ The second line has been over-written to darken worn-away letters. If there were annotations, they have not survived.
- ↑ This pair of verses has a bracket at the end, which has been posited as indicating enjambment of the lines by Mondschein. As there is clearly a period at the end of the first line, this cannot be the case here.
- ↑ The illegible letters could conceivably form tuam, which would support this reading.
- ↑ Variare and variata are from the same verb root, which has the distinct meanings "cause to vary, deviate" and "decorate with contrasting colors." The two verses on this page seem to deliberately use different senses of the verb.

¶ The royal, womanly form is proper. And this spirit,
striking and raging against you with the tip, sends [you] to the shadows.
Should the gods in heaven favor this method.
¶ Drawing [my] limbs simultaneously inward, I, the Bitter One, grip the javelin
in the middle. You will have been delayed in breaking through [my guard].
In the end, your horse will depart having been struck with deadly wounds.
- ↑ Added later: "de la pointe".
- ↑ Added later: "remoror [!] jaculum".
- ↑ The translator appears to be using 'stringere-refringere' as a pair, as both words are associated with defending and attacking fortified gates, for rhetorical effect; however, English doesn't have a good oppositional pair that also conveys the meanings of the words.
- ↑ Added later: "eqqus". Probably meant to be “equus”, but the two q’s are fairly clear.

I'll beat your lance with my sword, |

¶ Straightforward in opposition, I cause you great pains.
The one fleeing is unable to defend his own body.[4]
¶ That method of carrying surely moves the sword to four plays.
And I strike you straight on with the [sharp] point.
And the limb cuts the openings with a cut.
And lacking your sword, you will again obviously depart from your seat.[5]
That method rarely disappoints a person.
- ↑ Added later: "ego".
- ↑ This word was obliterated somehow (“et” and “cesura” both show uncorrected damage) but has been written over by a later hand in similarly-colored ink. Further, someone has tried to write something above it, perhaps a French equivalent—the superscript is unreadable, but the second word, above cuspide, appears to end in “te” and could be “pointe”. The superscript above “acute” may have been in the D1 or F hand, but not enough is clear. There may have been a superscript above mucronem that was erased, although the remaining strokes look like they may have suffered the same damage as the rest of the page. None of the superscripts are clear enough to certainly identify the hands.
- ↑ A bracket, similar to the enjambment bracket, hangs off the last line.
- ↑ We are working under the assumption that the Latin translator is writing about the figure on the left, instead of the crowned figure. While it is clear that the Italian refers to the crowned figure, the Latin includes nothing about turning, or that this turn is the only option for defense. This is supported by 'Qui' in the second line, which has the 'ego = I' correction from a later hand.
- ↑ Note that the order of the 4 options differs from the original Italian due to the order of verb tenses in the Latin.

Fleeing, I cannot make any other defense, |

This is the counter to the three masters of the lance that finish in this play, and I want to tell you how: when the masters believe my lance to be pushed away from their persons, I give a turn to my lance and strike with its butt, since the iron in the butt is as good as in the point. The plays of these masters bother me little.

¶ This movement, by means of which I rob the man with the sword[129] during play,
Is called High on the Right by everyone in arms.
I, Florius, have tested this myself in many exchanges.
¶ Grabbing the sword, I immediately execute a middle strike[130]
Overwhelming your limbs with the raging tip, or with your own [sword]
Or with your luck, which you trust is present
|
This taking of the sword is called Above; |

Everyone has done this who remains skilled in the art
¶ I calculate [that] you perceive that to truly be my sword[132] [now]
And by rotating, I will bring shame to you, the Departing One.
And I pull back with my own hands if the fates do not disagree

¶ The cover on the right side foretells that I would grasp [you] by the throat.
Then you, the Miserable One, will be scattered upon the dark ground.
¶ By means of a similar play, we scatter you into the deep ground.
I would finish this, too. Nevertheless, I myself will remain [on my] feet.

From the right cover I have caught you so well, |
[22b-c] Per drita coverta io t'o cussi ben preso | |

[Bottom play not in Pisani Dossi. Text from Getty:] This play is done like this: that is, that someone goes with a middle blow against a left-side middle blow and then quickly goes to the tight [play] (with a cover). He throws the sword around his companion’s neck (as you see drawn here); he can then throw him to the ground without fail. |
[30r-b] ¶ Questo zogho se fa per tal modo zoe che uno vada cum lo colpo mezano contra lo mezano de parte riversa e subito vada cum coverta ale strette, e butti la spada al collo del compagno como qui e depento. Buttar lo po in terra senzo fallimento. |

This lower play clearly goes to the outer bind
The middle is situated by chance under the highest.[155]

I am the Eighth Master and I cross with my dagger, and this play is good in armor and without armor, and some of my plays are placed earlier and some later. Similar to the third previous play—that is, that he wounds the player in the hand with the point of his dagger—I could wound this man underhand just as [that student] wounded him overhand. Also, I could take his hand by the joint with my left hand and I could wound him with the right (according to that which you will find later in the ninth student of the Ninth Master, who wounds the player in the chest; abandoning my dagger, I could also do the final play). |

- ↑ Added later: "de la poignee".
- ↑ There is no enjambment bracket, but the punctuation and text indicate it.
- ↑ Added later: "eqquus".
- ↑ Added later: "te mordé de\per bride".
- ↑ According to Cappelli, p. 257
- ↑ Probably laedere
- ↑ Possible scribal flourish
- ↑ the hand position pictured in this technique is very strange. Comparing it to the Italian copies, we think the artist doesn't have a martial background and has drawn a hand familiar from other artwork instead of a position that makes sense with a sword or other weapon.
- ↑ Added later: “??eeu vit”. Could this be “heeume”, misspelling of “heaume”, old french for “helmet”? There are certainly letters beginning above the g in “galea” and reaching to above the e in “prensum”, but we can’t make out enough to guess further. If the latter word is meant to be “heaume”, this must be hand F.
- ↑ Enjambment bracket
- ↑ The countering gestures are grammatically surrounded by spite.
- ↑ There is a marginal notation to the right of the verse beginning with +. The marginal note seems likely to be hand F, but the + may be from one of the Latin hands. My best guess: ??a??e tram ? perm
- ↑ Enjambment bracket
- ↑ Added later: "pro tui".
- ↑ Added later: "scilicet".
- ↑ or 'Si pargere', but Rebecca says there is a scribal practice for separating the first letter of a line in this manner.
- ↑ Enjambment bracket
- ↑ stafile is probably a form of staffa, listed in DMLBS meaning "stirrup" and borrowed from German
- ↑ Added later: "nomen properum". Partially obliterated
- ↑ Added later: "nomen properum".
- ↑ Added later: "de fresne".
- ↑ To the right of the first two lines, there appear to be three lines of smudgy pencil (most likely M or F), but nothing specific can be made out.
- ↑ Added later: "matreque?".
- ↑ Added later: "four words that might be latin".
- ↑ There is no enjambment bracket, but grammar and syntax led to enjambment in the translation.
- ↑ Possibly "maestum"
- ↑ Enjambment bracket
- ↑ Added later: "reparer renouvelir".
- ↑ Telum refers specifically to a distance weapon, which can include any of the following: missile weapon, dart, shaft, spear, javelin, sword, axe, sunbeam, lightning (the last two are the specific province of Jove)

- ↑ Added later: "…trare".
- ↑ contraria is the most common term marked with a + in this text.
- ↑ This verse has a bracket shape to its right that encloses the second line and the space below it, similar to an enjambment bracket.
- ↑ A tiny note (M, perhaps) may have been removed above “agitando”.
- ↑ Added later: "+ hoc ego".
- ↑ Mucro can refer to a sword or its edge or point. The original translator of this text uses a variety of words to refer to the sword and its parts, and we have tried to reflect that by rendering ensis as sword, mucro as tip, and cuspide as point. However, in this case, the text is contrasting two different weapons and not their parts, so mucro is sword.
- ↑ Added later: "quisquam".
- ↑ Marginal note: "+ ecce".
- ↑ This may be an error for fascis.
- ↑ Added later: "scilicet subito".
- ↑ Added later: "+ tibi".
- ↑ If the translator is bad at Latin, such that he thinks 'illa robora' is ablative feminine, it could read 'And I have struck your face with the strong [weapon].
- ↑ We are translating 'captura' as 'the taking' or 'the takings'. Other possible contexts for this word in Latin are from hunting (captura=prey, the fishing catch, the bag of animals brought in) or from economics, in which 'captura' refers to ill-gotten or immorally gained profits.
- ↑ The second letter appears to have been corrected.
- ↑ A pun for ridere/riddare?.
- ↑ Alternate reading: so that now, by clearing the space, I'm not afraid. 'ridendo' is potentially a pun using the ridere/riddare verbs, meaning to laugh at and to clear a space.
- ↑ Tentative reading; badly damaged
- ↑ Tentative reading; badly damaged
- ↑ Tentative reading; badly damaged
- ↑ Badly damaged; also, could be a variant spelling of laeva.
- ↑ Alternate reading with furenti as dative of disadvantage: With my sword, I cover my limbs from rage while taking a step
- ↑ Accusative of duration of time
- ↑ Accusative of duration of time
- ↑ If this your sword, which I catch openly by [its] hilt doesn't fall to the ground.
- ↑ the translator seems to use the imperative to describe a definitive state
- ↑ This page shows signs of scraping and rewriting.
- ↑ this might be vindicaveram instead
- ↑ Mucro can refer to a sword or its edge or point. The original translator of this text uses a variety of words to refer to the sword and its parts, and we have tried to reflect that by rendering ensis as sword, mucro as tip, and cuspide as point. However, in this case, the illustration shows an action that can't be done with the tip of the sword, so we have used edge.
- ↑ Added later: "scilicet nobis".
- ↑ Added later: "+".
- ↑ Added later: "i.e. velocem". We also considered a volverem reading.
- ↑ Since the word "posite" doesn't make sense as written, we speculate it's an error for "ponite."
- ↑ This reading is supported by genitive of emotion, in which the rage is assigned to the opponent. An alternate reading would be 'I defend the limbs of rage' in which the rage is assigned to the speaker.
- ↑ Added later: "aftraro"?.
- ↑ The Italian and Latin term frontale refers to a forehead decoration for either a woman or a horse. While the modern English term browband refers to an element of horse tack, we felt it evoked a more correct image than other terms such as headband.
- ↑ potentially remeatio, but written as *tior to rhyme with brevior, minor, and revertor
- ↑ Or "saepe" (often), which may be more likely than "sepe" (hedge or defensive barrier)
- ↑ More likely laevus than levus
- ↑ The last word seems faded
- ↑ Added later: "scilicet ego."
- ↑ Added later: "dixit".
- ↑ Added later: "con? ut."
- ↑ We are using the marginalia to influence our reading/interpretation of this couplet.
- ↑ 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.
- ↑ Corrected from "de".
- ↑ Added later: "scilicet manum".
- ↑ This is not the same verb as for binding a sword, but it matches the Italian ligadure/ligare.
- ↑ or you will go gloomy into that <dark> ground
- ↑ Added later: "scilicet me".
- ↑ Likely haec
- ↑ Added later: "scilicet ensis".
- ↑ The period after habetur may be a later addition, since it overlaps the final stroke of the r.
- ↑ There's a light mark above Arte that looks like the abbreviation for haec.
- ↑ The fourth pollaxe play in Pisani-Dossi seems to match this somewhat. The fourth pollaxe play in Florius does not.
- ↑ The section of Florius about techniques for pollaxe refers to the weapon as a tricuspidis (triple-point), but calls it bipenna (double-edged axe) in the armored section.
- ↑ Although mucronem usually means tip as a synonym with cuspis, we translated the compound as point of the sword for reasons of fluency.
- ↑ Added later: "pro cum".
- ↑ This may also be read as immanis but inanis is closer to the Italian
- ↑ Added later: "scilicet si".
- ↑ Using the marginal note: If someone were to throw a sword at my head
- ↑ All of the other images of this sequence show the sword sheathed.
- ↑ The initial of this line is ambiguous and could be M or N. We believe it is most likely an M, but if it were an N it could be read "I do not cover and I strike the point simultaneously at what will become an opening."
- ↑ cautus (from cavere) is a common term in Roman jurist texts, where it means security in the sense of assurance or collateral
- ↑ "pretento" didn't match any of the adjectives present, so we've filled in "brachio"
- ↑ Added later: "scilicet ego".
- ↑ We've used the reading suggested by the interlinear note "scilicet ego" to disambiguate "ipse"
- ↑ This page has lots of dirt smudges, drips, and stains; some—to the left of the combatants in the upper register, and just below the verse in the lower—look like they might be handwritten smudges, but without clear meaning.
- ↑ Added later: "scilicet ego".
- ↑ Interestingly, this page appears to be dirty and damaged; the recto looks like it’s warped from water damage. The next several pages also show warping; the art quality has also declined substantially.
- ↑ The initial of this line is ambiguous and can be read as M or N. We have interpreted it as an M. If it were an N, the line would begin "I do not cover," but we believe this is not compatible with the rest of the verse.
- ↑ Maybe "laevo".
- ↑ The initial of this line is ambiguous and could be M or N. We have read it as N, but if it were M, the line might begin "Although you would hold me".
- ↑ Impressum often means something that has been marked or decorated using pressure, such as a printed page or tooled leather. On this page, the writer seems to be creating parallel imagery or puns about pressure and confinement, but has mixed up their relative position compared to the Italian.
- ↑ The initial of this line is ambiguous and could be M or N. We have read it as M, because we believe reading that word as "Ne" is not compatible with the rest of the verse.
- ↑ Could be “praesto”, Latin adv. “ready, available” or Italian “presto”.
- ↑ Added later: "scilicet occidam"
- ↑ We used 'te' as the object of both verbs
- ↑ Added later: "pro operarj".
- ↑ celer can either be an adjective or a verb, leading to two possible readings. celer as an adjective is more common and appears elsewhere in this text. celer as a verb links to the act of cloaking, amictum, in the next line. Here is our alternate reading of the first line: Nevertheless I would be shielded [and] truly cut out your face using this act.
- ↑ cruce is locative case, which the translation reflects
- ↑ Using DuCange's parts of speech for teneo (TENERE, Tenens, Tenedo, Tenementum), we assume that tenedo is the gerundive form. "-edo" is not a verb form included in typical Latin grammar.
- ↑ These umlaut-like dots appear on a few other pages, where they indicate words that should be read as a pair. Here the marked words are both part of a phrase naming a technique, similar to other times the dots appear. Interestingly, on this page it looks like the dots were written by the original scribe (for example, the dots over the a in spataeque have the same faded look as the a). However, appearing on so few pages, these dots don't seem to be part of the overall orthographic style of the manuscript.
- ↑ This actually reads 'lifting the hands and the sword located in the hands', as spatae is locative case, or indicative of the sword's location. We omitted the repetitions for the sake of clarity.
- ↑ grammatically, the winner was not deceived by the opponent's anticipation, and this deception is a completed action, which has bearing on the present action, that is, the placing of the sword.
- ↑ Added later: "cum". Potentially could be read as "eum" but we believe "cum" is a useful clarification of this sentence.
- ↑ While lacertos and brachia refer specifically to the upper and lower arms respectively, this is probably an attempt by the translator to avoid repetition, rather than specific parts of the arm that are affected by the actions. We have retained the specificity for linguistic reasons. We used arm instead of shoulder in the following couplet because the technique does not work with the shoulder.
- ↑ This might be a typo for efficit, which is supported by the use of 'ipse', and the fact that the next clause has the speaker working against this action
- ↑ Note that the Italian uses straight and curved for the right and left sides. So this is potentially a movement from the right to the left sides
- ↑ Mucro can refer to a sword or its edge or point. The original translator of this text uses a variety of words to refer to the sword and its parts, and we have tried to reflect that by rendering ensis as sword, mucro as tip, and cuspide as point. However, in this case, based on the illustration, we decided to refer to the whole sword.
- ↑ If the line we have interpreted as a comma after ensem is not a comma, then an alternate reading would be: Grabbing the sword in the middle, I immediately execute a strike.
- ↑ Added later: "+".
- ↑ Mucro can refer to a sword or its edge or point. The original translator of this text uses a variety of words to refer to the sword and its parts, and we have tried to reflect that by rendering ensis as sword, mucro as tip, and cuspide as point. However, in this case, based on the illustration, we decided to refer to the whole sword.
- ↑ Added later: "ego".
- ↑ Added later: "scilicet revolutum".
- ↑ "Denodare" is an uncommon word and its primary sense is "un-knot, solve" but in the context of wrestling, it seems to mean "dislocate", supported by DuCange: Frangere, pedem vel brachium laxare, Gall. Rompre, disloquer, to break, to spread out a foot/leg or shoulder, disloquer = dislocare, to dislocate
- ↑ Alternate reading: This is considered under the name, the strong Lower Key.
- ↑ Added later: "ego s."
- ↑ There is an unreadable marking here.
- ↑ Added later: "ego scilicet".
- ↑ Added later: "scilicet ego".
- ↑ This looks like it may have originally said “veter” but was corrected to “vetes” (e.g. from first person present passive to second active present).
- ↑ See Capelli 285; this can be read as either prope (near) or proprie (specifically).
- ↑ Subito has two meanings that both seem relevant here ("suddenly, immediately" and "going under, going upward"), and there's no way to tell if only one is intended, so we have used both.
- ↑ Should be "defendam".
- ↑ Saccere => sapere
- ↑ refers to elbow 'cubitum' or fist 'pugnum'
- ↑ "Pectora linques" ("leave the chest") could be read two ways: giving up the original attack to the chest seen in the illustration, or consciousness departing the most vital area of the body in death.
- ↑ logo = luoco/luogo
- ↑ Added later: "vel probabo(?)".
- ↑ if read with 'probabo' as suggested in the margin: I would, perchance, demonstrate a more useful [action].
- ↑ Added later: "~ ut".
- ↑ Insertion: "+ in order to"
- ↑ "Bellica" seems to be a term for military equipment, and "tractans" comes from tracto, which is similar to traho (pull, draw) but has additional meanings like discuss, handle, negotiate. We have interpreted "bellica tractans" as "a person who deals with war equipment", implicitly distinct from a soldier or military person.
- ↑ Variant of "namque".
- ↑ This line looks like it should match the last line of the Pisani Dossi verse, but the Latin case endings can't support reading it that way.
- ↑ This is read as a corrected error, in which the scribe began to write aufa, crossed out the 'a', continued the 're' and used the 'er' abbreviation above the incorrect letter.
- ↑ There's a marginal note that's hard to interpret: "n p o" or perhaps "R P O".
- ↑ Added later: "pro".
- ↑ Added later: "scilicet tu".
- ↑ It looks like the period maybe was changed to a slash/comma.
- ↑ This line and the last line of the 4th couplet share an indentical fragment in both the Latin and the Italian; however, it is not possible to render the two identically in fluent English.
- ↑ Clave is usually translated as Key, but can also refer to the handle for turning a press, or the bar for holding a door shut. We are reading clave as locative with sub ima as the postpositional indication of the direction of the location.
- ↑ Added later: "+ ut".
- ↑ This is unusual, in that the loser (unmarked) speaks this line. The following lines are written normally, from the point of view of the winner (crown and garter) as the first-person speaker.
- ↑ Added later: "+ posuj".
- ↑ Added later: "scilicet ego".
- ↑ No Italian copy mentions left or right in this technique. The images in all manuscripts consistently show the head under the right shoulder. Interestingly, the Getty illustration shows the opponent's legs swapped, but the Pisani Dossi has the same body position shown here.
- ↑ Added later: "situ".
- ↑ Added later: "& mergit".
- ↑ & mergit = and plunges
- ↑ Added later: "scilicet ego".
- ↑ Added later: "tu scilicet".
- ↑ literally, if you can discern daylight
- ↑ The accusatives [direct objects] are unusual in both of these lines
- ↑ There are no personal pronouns indicating whose eyes are getting injured in this couplet. Only the second person verb in the first line indicates whose eyes are getting damaged.
- ↑ "So that I connect the farthest ground to your sorrowful kidneys" is actually how the throw is expressed in the Latin.
