The MS 1825 is a German fencing manual created by Paulus Kal, probably in the 1460s. The original currently rests in the holdings of the Biblioteca Universitaria di Bologna in Bologna, Italy. It is dedicated to Ludwig IV "the Rich" of Wittelsbach (1417-1479), Duke of Bavaria-Landshut.[1]
Kal's writings (exemplified in the [[Paulus Kal Fechtbuch (Cgm 1507)|Cgm 1507) consist of a redaction of some of the teachings of Johannes Liechtenauer on mounted fencing, armored fencing, and unarmored fencing, 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. After the preface, this manuscript does not contain any of the text included in the contemporary Cgm 1507, suggesting that it may be a draft of the other manuscript or an incomplete copy.
