The Codex Guelf 125.16 Extravagantes was copied in the late 17th century[citation needed] from the 2º Codex MS Philos. 61, a German fencing manual based on treatises by Hans Talhoffer. The original currently rests in the holdings of Herzog-August Bibliothek in Wolfenbüttel, Germany. Aside from the writings of Talhoffer, the work is also significant due to its reference to the MS I.33, to which the scribe appears to have had access.[1]

This picture shows that Clerics and monks were trained in martial arts, too. For there is a complete manuscript [written] on parchment. The lessons contained are all in Latin but described altogether illegibly. The word Sacerdos abounds and always stands next to the one with a tonsure and the word Scholaris next to the other person.

Denn es ist ein gantz Msc. auff pergmen, darinen die Lectiones alle in latein aber gar unleserlich beschrieben, Vor handen und stehet bey dem in der blatten oder dem lehrmeister alle Zeit das wordt Sacerdos, und bey der anderen person das Wortt Scholaris.
