The Codex 10799 is an anonymous 17th century German fencing manual created in 1623.[1] It resides in the holdings of the Österreichische Nationalbibliothek in Vienna, Austria. This manuscript is consistent with the group known as die Blume des Kampfes ("the Flower of Battle"),[2] and although it lacks descriptive text, its elaborate watercolor paintings make it the most artistically impressive work in the group. Die Blume des Kampfes might be based on the tradition of 14th century Italian master Fiore de'i Liberi given that his works include considerable technical overlap, but it is more likely that they represent an earlier German tradition of which Fiore was himself an initiate.
