The MS XIX.17-3 is a German fencing manual created by Hans Talhoffer some time between 1446 and the creation of the Thott manuscript in 1459.[citation needed] The original currently rests in the private collection of the Königsegg-Aulendorf family in Königseggwald, Germany. This manuscript may possibly have been commissioned by the very Luithold von Königsegg who is featured in several of Talhoffer's works.
Provenance
The MS XIX.17-3 seems to have remained in the collection of the Königsegg family since its creation by Hans Talhoffer in the mid-fifteenth century.
