The MS E.1939.65.354 is a German fencing manual created by Gregor Erhart in 1533.[citation needed] The original currently rests in the R. L. Scott Collection of the Glasgow Museums in Glasgow, United Kingdom. The manuscript consists of two parts. The first half is a series of sketches, including a copy of the longsword devices of Jörg Wilhalm Hutter; the second is a compilation of common treatises from the tradition of Johannes Liechtenauer. It appears that the sketches were originally drawn on larger sheets of paper which were then bisected to form the current page size.
This manuscript was later acquired by Freifechter Lienhart Sollinger, who subsequently sold it to Paulus Hector Mair; both men seems to have used it as a source for their respective anthologies of fencing treatises.
