The date of "1510 - 1520" on the [[:File:MS Germ.Quart.2020 Cover 2.jpg|inside cover]] is a later addition, and seems to be incorrect.</ref> possibly by [[Georg Lemberger]] (1495/1500-1540/45).<ref>Welle 2017, p 20.</ref> The original currently rests in the holdings of the [[Biblioteka Jagiellońska]] in Kraków, Poland. It is generally nicknamed "Goliath" due to the depiction of the Biblical confrontation between David and the giant Goliath on the inside cover. The reason for the inclusion of this painting is entirely unclear, though it may simply come down to the popularity of the story in this period as an example of a righteous single combat. (It may also be an allusion to the size of the [[sword]]s depicted in the illustrations of unarmored fencing.) |

There appears to be a single illustrator throughout, and potentially a single scribe as well, despite the number of different scripts employed.<ref>Welle 2017, pp 10-11.</ref> The first several sections include elaborately painted illustrations, but the illustrations cease abruptly toward the beginning of the section on [[armored fencing]], with the final few illustrations being merely rough line drawings. This, in addition to the presence of blank spaces through the rest of the manuscript, seems to suggest that additional illustrations were planned but never completed (perhaps due to Lemberger's death some time after 1537). |

+ | Zabinski assumes that the date on the cover is correct and speculates based on a number of factors that Goliath was commissioned for Maximilian I (1459-1519), a well-known aficionado of military texts.<ref>Zabinski 2010, pp 83-91.</ref> Welle, however, rejects this hypothesis and date, and arrives at a date in the latter 1530s based on handwriting and watermark analysis.<ref>Welle 2017, pp 9-11.</ref> | ||

The Goliath Fechtbuch (MS germ. quart. 2020) is a German fencing manual created between 1535 and 1540,[1] possibly by Georg Lemberger (1495/1500-1540/45).[2] The original currently rests in the holdings of the Biblioteka Jagiellońska in Kraków, Poland. It is generally nicknamed "Goliath" due to the depiction of the Biblical confrontation between David and the giant Goliath on the inside cover. The reason for the inclusion of this painting is entirely unclear, though it may simply come down to the popularity of the story in this period as an example of a righteous single combat. (It may also be an allusion to the size of the swords depicted in the illustrations of unarmored fencing.)
Goliath is a compilation text consisting of treatises on a variety of martial topics by several different masters, most of whom who stood in the tradition of the grand master Johannes Liechtenauer. There appears to be a single illustrator throughout, and potentially a single scribe as well, despite the number of different scripts employed.[3] The first several sections include elaborately painted illustrations, but the illustrations cease abruptly toward the beginning of the section on armored fencing, with the final few illustrations being merely rough line drawings. This, in addition to the presence of blank spaces through the rest of the manuscript, seems to suggest that additional illustrations were planned but never completed (perhaps due to Lemberger's death some time after 1537).
Zabinski assumes that the date on the cover is correct and speculates based on a number of factors that Goliath was commissioned for Maximilian I (1459-1519), a well-known aficionado of military texts.[4] Welle, however, rejects this hypothesis and date, and arrives at a date in the latter 1530s based on handwriting and watermark analysis.[5]
