'''Fechtbuch zu Ross und zu Fuss''' ("Manual on Fencing, on Horse and on Foot"; MS Varia 82) is a [[nationality::German]] [[fencing manual]] created by [[Joachim Meÿer]] in 1570-71. The original currently rests in the holdings of the [[Universitätsbibliothek Rostock]] in Rostock, Germany. Like many manuscripts from the previous century, the MS Varia 82 is an anthology of treatises from the tradition of [[Johannes Liechtenauer]]. Meÿer was in the midst of writing the manuscript when he died, and it was thus never completed.

Fechtbuch zu Ross und zu Fuss ("Manual on Fencing, on Horse and on Foot"; MS Var[ia] 82) is a German fencing manual created some time before 1571. The original currently rests in the holdings of the Universitätsbibliothek Rostock in Rostock, Germany. Like many manuscripts from the previous century, the MS Var. 82 is an anthology of older treatises from the tradition of Johannes Liechtenauer; perhaps the most significant portion is the notes that Joachim Meÿer added to the front and back, particularly an outline he wrote for adapting the traditional German Messer teachings (exemplified in the writings of Johannes Lecküchner to the newly-popular side sword

Much of the older content seems to have been sourced from a manuscript in the same group as the Codex I.6.4º.3. The two notable exceptions to this are Sigmund Schining ein Ringeck's glosa, which do not match any other extant version, and an anonymous multiweapon treatise toward the back, which also appears in the compilations of Paulus Hector Mair but whose origins are completely unknown.

One final note of interest about this manuscript is that it mentions a Master Pegnitzer, a name that also appears on Paulus Kal's roll of the Society of Liechtenauer and a master from whom no treatise is known to survive. The name is mentioned in reference to a device of the poleaxe, which might indicate the subject of his teachings.
