Notes

  • Merck = Hwaet
  • pugil, pugiles: [DMLBS gives "1. boxer, wrestler. 2, participant in single combat. 3, one who fights on another's behalf"](https://logeion.uchicago.edu/pugil)
  • Has the Latin scribe condensed German's entire last sentence into Latin's first word? Interesting; the Latin usually elaborates rather than condensing
  • "in nihilum rediges" appears on 81v-c PHM Munich 81v (8), and 90v PHM Munich 90v (26)


  1. ↑ sic : lonen
  2. ↑ louen is a difficult verb to parse. While it is clearly ‘louen’ in Munich, in the Dresden copy, it is rendered as ‘lonen’, which, while clearly ‘to reward’, and thus an easy reading, does not rhyme at all. ‘lou/lau’ has a number of meanings, however, Grimm, vol 12, column 285, 3, in which .tempestas moderata’ from weather is applied to the human internal compass: that is neither casual nor firey tempered, would fit many other statements on the correct disposition of a fencer.
  3. ↑ treuen here is ‘dreien’ in Vienna. ‘dreien’ could possibly refer to the ‘dreie wunder’, the three primary means of wielding a sword (cut, thrust, slice); however, it can’t refer to a limited number of sequences. If it foreshadows the ‘3 miraculous techniques’, then ‘stück’ is multivalent in ways that will make translation messy.
