The MS 1825 is a German fencing manual created by Paulus Kal between 1458 and 1467.[1] The original currently rests in the holdings of the Biblioteca Universitaria di Bologna in Bologna, Italy. It is dedicated to Count Ludwig IV "the Gentle" of the Rhine (1424 - 1449).[2]
Kal's treatise consists of a partial redaction of the writings of Johannes Liechtenauer on Kampffechten, Roßfechten, and Bloßfechten, as well as Kal's own teachings on a variety of other weapons. It differs from the works of other followers of Liechtenauer in that instead of offering extensive glosses of the high master's verses, Kal explains them with detailed illustrations. This manuscript appears to be an early draft of the Cgm 1507.
