Hans Talhoffer (Dalhover, Talhouer, Thalhoffer, Talhofer) was a 15th century German fencing master. His martial lineage is unknown, but his writings make it clear that he had some connection to the tradition of Johannes Liechtenauer, the grand master of the German school of fencing. Talhoffer was a well educated man, who took interest in astrology, mathematics, onomastics, and the auctoritas and the ratio. He authored at least five fencing manuals during the course of his career, and appears to have made his living teaching, including training people for trial by combat.

The first historical reference to Talhoffer is in 1433, when he represented Johann II von Reisberg, archbishop of Salzburg, before the Vehmic court. Shortly thereafter in 1434, Talhoffer was arrested and questioned by order of Wilhelm von Villach (a footman to Albrecht III von Wittelsbach, duke of Bavaria) in connection to the trial of a Nuremberg aristocrat named Jacob Auer, accused of murdering of his brother Hans. Talhoffer subsequently confessed to being hired to abduct Hans von Villach, and offered testimony that others hired by Auer performed the murder.^[1] Auer's trial was quite controversial and proved a major source of contention and regional strife for the subsequent two years. Talhoffer himself remained in the service of the archbishop for at least a few more years, and in 1437 is mentioned as serving as a bursary officer (Kastner) in Hohenburg.^[2]

The 1440s saw the launch of Talhoffer's career as a professional fencing master. He purchased (and perhaps contributed to) the MS Chart.A.558, an anthology created in ca. 1448. The fencing portion is largely text-less and it may have been designed as a visual aid for use in teaching; in addition to these illustrations, the manuscript also contains a treatise on name magic and a warbook that might be related to Konrad Kyeser's Bellifortis. While Talhoffer's owner's mark appears in this manuscript,^[3] his level of involvement with its creation is unclear. It contains many works by other authors, in addition to plays that are somewhat similar to his later works, and shows evidence of multiple scribes and multiple artists. It is possible that he purchased the manuscript after it was completed (or partially completed), and used it as a basis for his later teachings.^[4]

Most notable among the noble clients that Talhoffer served in this period was the Königsegg family of southern Germany, and some time between 1446 and 1459^[5] he produced the MS XIX.17-3 for this family. This work depicts a judicial duel being fought by Luithold von Königsegg and the training that Talhoffer gave him in preparation, but it seems that this duel never actually took place.^[6] He seems to have passed through Emerkingen later in the 1450s, where he was contracted to train the brothers David and Buppellin vom Stain; he also produced the MS 78.A.15 for them, a significantly expanded version of the Königsegg manuscript.^[7]

In 1459,^[8] Talhoffer commissioned the MS Thott.290.2º, a new personal fencing manual along the same lines as the 1448 work but expanded with additional content and captioned throughout. He appears to have continued instructing throughout the 1460s, and in 1467 he produced his final manuscript, Cod.icon 394a, for another of his noble clients, Eberhardt I von Württemberg.^[9] This would be his most extensive work, and the graf paid 10 Guilder as well as quantities of rye and oats for the finished work.^[10]

While only a few facts are known about Talhoffer's life, this has not stopped authors from conjecture. The presence of the Lion of St. Mark in Talhoffer's 1459 coat of arms (right) has given rise to speculation that he may have been an early or even founding member of the Frankfurt-am-Main-based Marxbrüder fencing guild, though there is no record of their existence prior to 1474.^{[citation needed]} Additionally, much has been made of the fact that Talhoffer's name doesn't appear in Paulus Kal's list of members of the Fellowship of Liechtenauer.^[11] While some have speculated that this indicates rivalry or ill-will between the two contemporaries, it is more likely that Talhoffer simply didn't participate in whatever venture the fellowship was organized for.

Various otherwise-unidentified fencing masters named Hans have also been associated by some authors with Talhoffer. The 1454 records of the city of Zürich note that a master (presumed by some authors to be Hans Talhoffer) was chartered to teach fencing in some capacity and to adjudicate judicial duels; the account further notes that a fight broke out among his students and had to be settled in front of the city council, resulting in various fines.^[12] In 1455, a master named Hans was retained by Mahiot Coquel to train him for his duel with Jacotin Plouvier in Valencienne; if this were Talhoffer, his training did little good as Coquel lost the duel and died in brutal fashion.^{[citation needed]}

Treatises

Not only did Talhoffer produce at least three distinct treatises in his lifetime, but his writings have been reproduced in every century up to the present. They exist in well over a dozen manuscripts created in the fifteenth through nineteenth centuries; they have also been published a number of times in facsimiles beginning in 1887, including translations into English and French.

Talhoffer's writings cover a wide assortment of weapons, including the buckler, crossbow, dagger, flail, Messer, longshield, mace, poleaxe, spear, sword, and unarmed grappling, often both armored and unarmored, on horse and on foot, and in scenarios including tournaments, formal duels, and unequal encounters implying urban self-defense. Despite the obvious care and detail that went into the artwork, the manuscripts generally have only a few words captioning each page (and in many cases none at all); some were likely teaching aids and would need no detailed explanation, while the treatises for Königsegg, Stain, and Württemberg were probably intended as memory aids to review his teachings after he left.

Though there is considerable overlap in the specific plays Talhoffer teaches, the organization and exact contents differ in each of the main treatises. For this reason, they are listed separately below (along with their derivative copies) rather than being combined into one giant mixed concordance that fails to capture the organization of any of them. Though his authorship of his first manuscript, the Gotha, cannot be proven, it is included below because it is a useful reference to compare to his authenticated works.

In addition to the four manuscripts which reproduce all or parts of the contents of the Gotha version, there are two others that only reproduce the material on dueling with longshields. These are the Wolfenbüttel and Coburg versions (which date to the 17th and 18th centuries, respectively), and they are also different from the other copies in that they have captions for many of the illustrations in this section. It's unclear who wrote the text or when it was written, but it's possible that the text is original to the treatise and the Gotha version is just a draft or incomplete copy of another, now lost, manuscript. In the absense of more information, it seems prudent to treat it as authentic. To streamline the concordance, these two sections are included at the far-right side of the longshield dueling and not included in any other sections.

Draft Translation (from the Vienna) by Hugh Knight	Archetype Transcription (1446-1459) [edit] by Dierk Hagedorn	Vienna Transcription (1480-1500) [edit] by Gustav Hergsell	Augsburg Transcription (1561) [edit]
[1] One notices, if a nobleman has an agreement that he is provoked to a duel, or provokes one, then he should remember to take a master who could prepare him for the fight, and is from the master to be sworn that he faithfully shares with him his art, and not tell his secrets or the tricks which he teaches.	[01r] Item Es ist zu° wissent des ersten wen ain bÿder man zeschaffen haut das Im geschriben würt zu° dem ernst oder er aim schribt so sol er gedencken das er stelle nach aim maister der in zu° dem kampff versorge~ kind^[18] vnd sol Im den maister haissen geloben das er Im trẅlich sein kunst mittaill Vnd sein haimlichait nit sag vnd auch nit wider in sÿ das er die kunst niemat wissen lauß die er In ler°	[01r] Item. Es ist zu wissen, des Ersten wen ain bydrman ze schaffen hawe, das Im geschriben wäre zu dem ernst oder er aim schreybe, so sol er gedencken das er sulle nemen ain maister, der In zu dem kampf versorgen kind vnd sol Im den Maister hayssen globen, das er Im treulich sein kunst mit tail vnd sein Haymlichayt nit sag vnd auch nit wider In sey, das er kunst niemann wissen lasz, die er In Ler.	[02r] Page:Cod. I.6.2º.1 02r.png
[2] The young nobleman has to be careful not to have too much confidence in people and not to give his secret arts away to anybody, so that he will not be betrayed, and particularly he is to rise all days early, hear a mass, then to go home, eat a slice of Johanisbrot, and then practice for two hours with effort, not eat much fat, practice again in the afternoon for two hours and at night before going to sleep to eat a piece of pumpernickel/dark bread, which has been soaked in cold water; that makes good breath and widens the chest.	Item Es sol auch der Junckher sich hütten das er nit vill gehaimß mit den lütten hab das sein haimlichait niemen erfar vnd das im nit werd v°geben vnd besunder so sol er alltag frü vff stãn vnd hören ain meß vnd dar nach hain gãn vnd sol essen ain schnÿtte santj Johans brott vnd sich arbaitten zwu° stund in der ler vnd nit vil faists dings essen Vnd nach mittag aber zwu° stund Vnd zenacht so er schlauffen wil gãn so sol er essen ain Ruggj schnÿtte brot vß ainem kaltten wasser das macht Im gu°tten autem vnd wit vmb das hertz	Item. Es sol auch der Junckher sich hüten, das er nit vil gehayms mit den Leuten hab, das sein heymlichayt niemann erfar vnd das Im nit werd vergeben, vnd besunder so sol er altag frue auff stan vnd hören ain mesz vnd dar nach haym gan vnd sol essen ain schnytten sanct Johans prott vnd sich arbayen zwo stunde In der ler vnd nit vil faists dings essen vnd nach mittag aber zwo stunde vnd zu nacht so er schlaffen wil gan so sol essen ain rugk schwarez brot ausz ainem kalten wasser das macht Im guten atem vnd weyt vmb das herez.	Page:Cod. I.6.2º.1 02r.png
[3] If the business is then to take place, he is to turn to a city, which pleases him therefore, asking for inlet and protection; if one assures that to him, then he requires free escort for himself and his companions.	It~ wer den das der söltte für sich gãn So sol erschriben aⁱn aiñ stat die Im den dar zu° gefelt vmb in lauß vnd vmb glichen schirm vnd wen Im das zu° geseÿt würt so sol er begern das man Im ain frÿeß gelaitt geb für sich selb vnd alle dÿ die mit Im dar koment	Item wa den das da sule fur sich gan, so sol er schreyben In ain stat, die Im dan dar zw gefale vmb Inlass vnd vmb gleichen schrym vnd wan Im das zw gesagt wirdt, so sol er begern, das man, Im am freysz gelatde geb fur sich selb vnd alle, die da mit Im dar komen.	Page:Cod. I.6.2º.1 02r.png
[4] The fencing master is to lead the young nobleman who wants to duel to a lonely place (a church) and have him kneel down and ask god to lend him a lucky hour and victory.	It~ Es sol auch der schirm maister den Junckher niemen der da kempffen will vnd sol In füren ain haimlich stat als in ain kürchen vnd sol in haissen nder knüen^[19] vnd got bitten das er Im v°lich ain gluckhafft stund vnd^[20] Im v°lich süg das er seinem feind angesüg	Item. Es sol auch der schrym maister den Jungkher nemen, der da kempfen wil, vnd sol In furen an ain haymlich stat alsz In ain kirchen vnd sol In hayssen nyder knyen vnd got pitten, das er Im verleich ain glugkhafft stunde vnd Im verleich sig das er seinem feind angesig.	Page:Cod. I.6.2º.1 02r.png
[5] Hе should also have a bold heart and strong fists, that is also very good in addition.		Vnd ain gut herez vnd starck fewst hab das ist auch fast gut dar zu.	Page:Cod. I.6.2º.1 02r.png
[6] Young man, now learn to love god and honor women, speak well of women апd be brave, as one should bе, guагd yourself from lies and deceit. Strive after integrity апd take great pains in your knightly practices: throwing апd pushing stones, dancing апd jumping, fencing апd wrestling, running at the lance апd tournaments, апd courting beautiful women. Be in a light апd humorous mооd: fencing requires heart; if you frighten easily, then you are not to learn to fence. The whole art would bе lost, because the roar of the impact аnd the rough strokes make a cowardly heart fearful.	[01v] Jung man nu lern got liebhãn vñ frawe~ eren red frawen woll vnd biß manlich da mã soll hüt dich võ lügen vnd vor schamlichen krüge~ setz din syn vff erlich sach vnd gedenck nach ritte~ schafft mit freiden üben stain werffen vñ stang schüben tantzen vnd springen fechtten vnd rÿngen stechen vnd turniere~ schönen frawe~ hofiere~ ainß schimpff sande~ schertz fechtten wil haben ain h°tz Jung man erschrickst du gern so soltu nit fechtte~ lernen Es wer v°lore~ kunst wen võ dem schlag de~ dãnst vnd die grossen straich machñt ain zag h°tz bald waich	[01v] Jung man, nun lern Got lieb han vnd frawn ern Red frawn wol vnd pysz manlich, dan man sol. Hut dich vor lugen vnd vorschamlichen krugen (trugen). Seez dein syn auff erlich sach, vnd gedenckh nach ritterschaft Mit frowden yben stainwerffen vnd stain schüben Tanczen vnd springen, Fechten vnd ringen, Stechen vnd turnyrn, Schön frawn hofiren. Ains schympf sander scherez. Fechten wil haben ain herez : Junhk man erschrickstu gern, So soltu nit fechten lern. Es wird verloren kunst, Wen von dem schlag der dunst vnd die grossen straich Machen einzag herez pald waich.	[02v] Page:Cod. I.6.2º.1 02v.png
[7] Show manly courage against anyone who wrongs you. If you want to remain in honors then practice the truth. Be wary of evil people who could not keep up loyalty. If you understood this well, thus join the gооd. If you are given advice, then consider it well. Then you will be able to recognize if it will avail or harm. Thus speaks Talhoffer. Now learn the true tenets: you пееd bethink your self well if you want to fence or to wrestle; retain the secrets of fencing, do not trust everyone. Stand as firm as a bear апd dо not slide back апd forth.	Nu~ hab ain manß mu°t gen dem der dir vnrechtt tu°t wiltu mit eren beliben so soltu die warheit nit v°triben hüt dich vor den bösen die trẅ nit kündent lösen haust du das recht v°numen so gesell dich zu° den frumen wen man dir rãt wil geben so soltuß mercken gar eben sol machst du v°stãn dabÿ ob es dir gu°t oder schad sÿ Also redt der talhoffer Nu~ merck vff die rechtu mer du solt dich ga° woll besÿnne~ wer du wilt fechtten oder rÿnge~ vnd merck vff des fechtes trẅ der sÿtt de~ ist nit nẅ getrw nit ÿederman vnd stand vast als der ber das du nit schliffest hin vnd her	Nun hab ains mans mut Gen dem, der da vnrecht thut. Wiltu mit eren beleyben, So soltu di warhayt treyben. Hut dich vor dem bösen Die treu nit kunden lösen. Hastu das recht vernumen, So gesel dich zu den frumen. Wen man dir rat wil geven, so soltusz mercken gar eben ; So magst du verstan do pey, Ob es dir gut oder schad sey. Also red der talhoffer. Nun merckh auff die rechte mer : Du solt dich gar wol besynen, Wan du wilt fechten oder ringen, Vnd merckh auf des vechtens treu, Da sy dir ist nu neu. Getraw nit yder man, vnd stand fast alsz der perr Das du nit schlipfest hin vnd her.	Page:Cod. I.6.2º.1 02v.png
[8] This bear in mind апd apply your whole strength in the right dеgгее. Learn well the art апd often геgагd your fencing book, there you will find everything displayed.	Daruff so mercke vnd bruch all din stercke als in der rechtte wage nach gu°tter kunst so frage vnd sich dein bu°ch gar eben an so vindst du eß gemalet võ dir stãn	Dar auff merck Vnd prauch all dein sterck, Als in der rechten wag ; Nach guter kunst so frag, Vnd sich dein buch gar eben an, So finstu es gmalen vor da stan.	Page:Cod. I.6.2º.1 02v.png
[9] Now will Leutold von Königsegg learn Dueling from Tafhoffer. Gоd releases us from all complaint.	Hie will lẅtold von küngs egg lernen zu° dem Ernst von dem Talhofer Got erlauß unß aller schwer	Nu wil Lwtold von Kungksegg lernen zu den Ernst von dem talhoffer. Got erlasz unsz aller schwer.

	[1] Conclusion of hewing:^[27] Would that your fighting be lucky – Then be lively, withhold not long the play. The dandy laugh at that While the earnest make – They trust in the sword. As the Talhoffer does teach: In the sword you shall have trust and belief, So that blood runs not over the eyes, etc.	[1v] Beschliessung der höw Wiltu daz dirß fechten glück bïß frisch verhalt nit lang die stück Darzuo hypschlich lachen und die ernstlichen machen Daz trew im Schwert Die der talhofer lert Im Schwert soltu nyemen trewen noch gelouben So rint dir daz blut nit uber die ougen etc.
	[2] Thus here is the key to Rightful Art, according to all the masters, the sundry hands of converging ways; which is also consigned to memory; and which is the right grounding:	Jtem die Sloß der rechten kunst nach dem alß die maister die abgetailt hand von genähe wegen daz ouch billich zu behaltent ist wenn diß ist der recht grunde.
	[3] Thus firstly, when you will fight in earnest with someone, then look out for how you and he agree what hour thereafter; thus by all means you act according to pressing need; and keep that to yourself and tell nobody what you have in mind or would do, since the World is so false. And by all means, the gauntlets serve to your vantage; sword and gambeson and leggings and whatever you will that is customary; yet mark how you and he agree upon that – and so then abide by it. Even if the sword has no other right, then it has that which is one’s own and free will. Thus when you come within the barriers and will begin / attack, then let any foe say and do what he will; and cower not within yourself; and have the earnest in mind; and whatever he says unto you, do not react to it; and fight earnestly for yourself thusly; and let him have no rest and become no threat; and follow the art, thus fear not his strikes; and would he draw you into meetings of the blades, then counterstrike merrily.	Jtem zu dem ersten wenn du in ernst mit ainem fechten wilt, so luog wie du mit im abredest und uff wolche stund. nachdem so richt dich nach notturft mit allem zeug, und daz tuo selber haimlich, und sag nymant waß du im sinn habest oder tun wollest, wenn die welt ist also valsch. und richt diu hentschuch nach deim vortail mit allem zeug, Schwert und wameß, hosen, und waß du denn bruchen wilt. und merck aber wie du mit im abredist, dann darby wirt eß beliben, wann daz schwert hat sunst kain recht, dann daz es aigner und fryer will ist.
	[4] Thereupon speaks Hans Talhoffer: The good man must speak up for the truth – even when it seems obvious and happens often, etc.	Item wenn du in den schrancken kumpst und an gan wilt, so lauß yaderman sagen und tun waß er wöll, und sich nit hindersich, und hab den ernst im sinn. und waß er mit dir red, da ker dich nit an, und ficht ernstlich für dich daz, und lauß im kain Ruo, und treu und folg der kunst. furcht nit sine sleg, und wil er ernstlich an dich, zuck innß treffen dz ich How wider fröhlich daran spricht

	[1] Here finds one written of judicial combat Thus what now be decreed as forbidden of all combatants. So by and by, it has become the custom of kaisers and kings, princes and lords, to whom one likens himself and emulates, that one is obliged to fight, especially regarding several causes and articles which are written down hereafter.	[8r] hie vint man geschriben von dem kempfen Item wie daz nun sy daz die decretaleß kempf verbieten, So hat doch die gewonhait herbracht von kaisern und künigen fürsten und hern noch gestatten und kempfen laussen, und darzu glichen schierm gebent, und besunder und umb ettliche sachn und artikeln, alß her nach geschriben staht.
	[2] Yet firstly this – Nobody is happy when one of his comrades cuts him up with loud words. He who would have at dueling with such a comrade, indeed he is within his rights and may well-fight him if he would. Thus dueling is wantonness.	Item zu dem ersten maul daz Im nymant gern sin Eer laut abschniden mit wortten ainem der sin genoß ist Er wolte Er hebet mit im kempfen wie wol er doch nit recht wol von im kem ob er wolte und darumb so ist kämpfen ain muotwill
	[3] Now those aforesaid causes and articles are seven, wherefor a man has duty to fight: Thus the first is murder. The second is treason. The third is heresy. The fourth is becoming an urger of disloyalty to one’s lord. The fifth is betrayal in strife or otherwise. The sixth is falsehood. The seventh is using either a maiden or lady.	Item der sachen und ardickelen sind siben Darumb man noch pfligt zu kempfen Item daz erst ist mortt Daz ander verräterniß Das dritt ketzery Daz vierd wölher an sinem herrn trulos wirt Daz fünfft umb fanknuß in striten oder sunsst Daz sechst um valsch Daz sibent da ainer junckfrowen oder frowen benotzogt
	[4] That is why one man challenges another to duel. Such a man shall come before court and shall lay down his case through his own advocacy. Therefor he who accuses shall name the man by baptized name and surname. At the appointed hour it is right that he who calls for the tribunal also complains to three tribunes after the accused comes – unless either one comes not and answers for himself. Yet nobody of one’s ilk may do so, for truly one may answer better for himself. Then the accuser proves his need be just and right. So shall the man under accusation, as much as his accuser, comprehend and likewise this helps the land. Only after all the testimony is done shall verdict be rendered.	Item spricht ain man den andern kempflich an, der sol komen für gericht und sol durch sinen fürsprechen sin sach für legen, darumb er in denn an clagt und sol den man nennen mit dem touff namen und zuo namen. So ist recht, daz er in für gericht lad und in dry stund beklag uff dryen gerichten nach ain ander. kumt er denn nit und veranttwurt sich nach nymant von sinen wegen, so mag er sich fürbaß nit mer veranttwurten, [8v] er bewyse dann Ehafte nott als recht sy, so sel man in verurtailen alß fer in daz fürbott innerhalb landes begriffen hant. Je dar nach, alß die ansprach ist gegangen, darnach sol daz urtail ouch gan.
	[5] Thus he who was challenged, he comes singularly before the three tribunes to respond and gainsay. Therefor the man who was challenged, he speaks thus that he be blameless and he repeats that the accusations be not true and thereover he would honour with struggle upon that knowledge, as then be right for and required by the land wherein this be and so thereupon is dealt his training-time. So he is dealt six weeks and four days from this tribunal for his training time. Thereupon is also dealt that the men shall struggle as is customary and right in the land.	Item der da kempflich angesprochen wirt uff den dryen gerichten und er ainost zuo der antwort kumpt und leugnot darum man in an gesprochen hat und spricht er sy des also unschuldig und der sag uff in daz nit war sy und daz wöll er widerumb mit kempfen beherten und uff in daz wysen alß denn recht sy un dem land darinn eß sy und forttert dar über mit urtail seinen lertag, so werdent im sechß wochen ertailt zu sinem lertag und vier tag von dem gericht werdent im auch ertailt, daruff sie kempfen süllent alß in dem land gewonhait und recht ist.
	[6] Thus the two men pledge willingly to go before court and struggle against each other – each also with about six weeks of trainingtime in peace, during which either or both are banished if someone breaks peace – thus not until when it is agreed upon as right by the judge.	Item versprechent sich zwen man willkürlich gen einander ain kampfez vor gericht, den git an auch sechs wochen lertag und sol in frid bannen baiden, und wolcher under den den frid brech, uber den richtet man on den kampf alß recht ist.
	[7] How one may lawfully meet the other. Thus is one man challenged to fight by another man. The man said to be not as good by the other – he may with right meet that other, if he will. Or if a man would be said or become spurious, then he may instead disregard the duel. Thus indeed the noble challenge the craven to dueling – so may the craven not well disregard that.	wie ainer dem anderen mit recht ^ußgan mag Item ist daz ein man kempflich angesprochen wiert von aim der nit alß gu^ot ist alß er, dem mag er mit recht uß gan ob er wil oder ob ain man echtloß gesagt würde oder worden wer, dem mag man ouch des kampfes absin.
	[8] Thus why indeed two men may not combat one another; though whichever among them, of the two, may well want to meet the other: Thus these two men are intent to duel – except they who are within five places of kinship, they may not rectify with one another by dueling; which seven men must swear, who may be of either the paternal or maternal half of either man’s family.	[9r] Item wie aber zwen mann nit mit ainender mügent kempfen und wolcher wil under den den zweye dem andern wol uß gan mag ~ Item wenn zween mann gefrunt sind biß uff die fünffte sipp oder näher die mügent durch recht nit mit ein ander kempfen und des müssen siben mann schwern die die vatter und muoter halb mäge sind. ~ ~
	[9] Thus how one or the other may disregard the duel, if he has such a handicap as written and stated here: Thus if a lame man, or one who has bad eyes, becomes challenged to duel. Yet if he may well-manage somehow to meet the sound one, it be then the wise decree to make this person on par with the other; and that wise decree must be done upon their oath; such that just as well the lamed or poorly sighted man thus may well win instead of the other one in any duel of theirs.	Item wie aber ainer dem andern kampfes absin mag mit solichem gelimpf alß hie geschriben stät Item ob ain lamer man oder ainer der böse ougen hett und kampfes an gesprochen wirt der mag sich der auch wol behellffen und dem gesunden us gan, Eß sy denn daz wyse lüt daz gelich nach der person machen und daz müssent wyß lüt uff ir aid tun und daz also glich machen. Es mag auch der lam oder mit den bosen ougen wol ainen an Ir statt gewinnen der für Iro ainen kempfe. ~ ~
	[10] When thus the six weeks are past and the last day is come, then the judge has summoned them, whereupon shall be combat. So shall they both come before the judge with such training and in such respect as the customs and law teach in the land wherein the duel shall be; or accordingly as they have otherwise willingly agreed and so forth.	Item wenn also die sechß wochen uß sind und der letst tag komen ist den in der richter beschaiden haut daruff kempfen sullen, So sullen sie beide für den richter komen mit solichem ertzögen und in solicher acht alß die gewonheit und das recht lert In dem lande dar Inn sie kempfen sullen oder nach dem alß sie mit einander gewillkürt habent Item etc. ~
	[11] Thus so there, the complainant shall swear that he therefor has cause for fighting the other; and that he has deemed the other man guilty. And then shall the judge assign a ring and “grit-wardens” and verdict; and counsel wise decrees according to the customs of the land; whereupon the day in the ring arrives for the verdict. One erring man vanquished as honour demands; which he shall take as proof and as rightful / lawful.	Item so soll da der cleger schweren daz er der sach darumb er dem ainen man zugesprochen haut schuldig sy und denn so sol man in ainen ring machen und grieß wartten und urttail geben [9v] nach wyser lute raut und nach des landeß gewonhait. und wer uff den tag in den ring nit kumpt den urttailt man sigeloß Ir in irre denn Ehafte nott die sol er bewysen alß recht ist ~ ~
	[12] Here is stated how one shall hold oneself when the combatants are come into the ring upon the appointed hour, at which time one thus shall duel the other adversarily: When the combatants are thus come into the ring, then the judge of that hour shall stare at all there; and advise that hiding is forbidden, by health and wealth; and that he shall not allow one or the other to be aided by someone else; thus shall each both do combat exclusively; so may the judge intimidate any rabble.	Hie staut wie man sich halten sol wenn die kempfer in dem ring komen sind uff die stund und uff die zit so man pheindiglich kempfen sol WEnn die kempfer also in den ring komen sind So sol der richter von stund an alle stür und ler vestecklich verbieten by lyb und guot und sol nicht gestatten daz man ainem für den andern nicht zulege und sel inß baiden machen so er Imer gelichest mag ungenerde.
	[13] That which is lawful if one of the combatants flees out, or becomes driven out, of the ring: Thus whichever combatant comes out of the ring, before then the duel has its deadly ending, because he becomes knocked out of the ring by the other or he flees thereout, or however else he comes thereout; or he admits that the other man’s position regarding the cause for challenge is right – then shall that man be adjudged vanquished, or otherwise slain and killed; for another man has conquered him.	Das ist was recht wer ob der kempfer ainer uss dem ring fluch oder getriben wurd Item wolcher kempfer uss dem ring kumpt Ee denn der kampf ain ende haut Er werde daruß geschlagen von dem andern oder fluche daruß oder wie er daruß käme oder aber ob er der sache vergicht darum man in denn mit recht an gesprochen haut, den sol man sigeloß urttailen. Oder wolcher den andern erschlecht und ertötett der haut gesiget Dem sol man aber richten alß des landes gewonhait und recht ist darumb sie dem mit ainander gekemppffet hand.
	[14] Then a man shall rectify indeed as is lawful and customary in the land. And thereby they have battled one another.
	[15] Now mark this bond that you need to understand: Thus firstly you should know well the master who will teach you; that his art be right and protective; and that he be pious / sober; and that he not embezzle you; and that he not shorten / beguile the lore; and that he wits to broaden the arsenal wherewith he will battle. However – should that master not accept that, swearing upon his profits ingratiatingly and his prejudices devotedly and thus shall his ilk become masters because of him – then swear neither to further nor to teach his so-called art.	[10r] Nun merck uff dissen puncten der ist notturfftlich zuo uerstend Item des ersten So soltu den maister wol erkennen der dich lerren wil dz sin kunst recht und gewer sy und dz er frum sy und dich nit veruntrüwe und dich nit verkürtz in der lerr und wiß die gwer zü zebraitten da mit er kempfen wil.
	[16] Here heed the master: Thus the master, who has a student to teach, he shall wit that he recognise well the man whom he will teach; whether he be weak or strong and if he be coxcombraging or gentle-minded; whether he has good breathing / endurance or not; and whether he may work heartily. So when you the master have well-recognised him as into the lore and what work he is able to do, thereafter you must teach the student such that it avails him against his foes. Yet the combatant and the master shall guard that they let no man see them nor also the arsenal with which they work. And they both shall guard their doings from much of society; and say little of the fighting, so that no notice is made thereof.	Och sol er den maister nit uff nemen er schwer im dann sin frumen zwerbent und sin schaden zwendent deß glich sol er dem maister wider um sweren sin kunst nit witter zleren.
	[17] About patronage: How the combatant and the master want to relate: Remit the fee and reciprocate. What be his nature? If he be strong or weak, if yet he be coxcomb-raging or not; and how his top heats up if someone would quarrel or fight. It is also needful to wit by the master who teaches him: That the man strives to set himself aright.	Hie merck uff den maister Item der maister der ain understat zu leren, der sol wißen daß er den man wol erken, den er lerren wil, ob er sie schwach oder starck, und ob er gäch zornig sÿ oder senftmüttig, och ob er gütten auttem hab oder nit, och ob er arbaitten müg in die in die harr; und wenn du inn wol erkanet haust in der lerr, un wz arbait er uermag darnach müstu in lerren dz Im nütz ist gen sinen vind. Och sol der kempffer und der maister sich hütten dz sie niemand zu sehen laussend und In sunder sie gwer da mit sy arbaittent und sich baid hütten vor vil geselschafft und von dem vechten wenig sagen dz kain abmercken da von kom.
	[18] When now the combatant is taught and shall go within the barriers: So firstly, when he shall fight, accordingly shall he hear a priest say mass, in honour of Our Lady Mary and of Saint George patron of knights, and the priest shall bless him in the name of Saint John of the gospel, with which the combatant agrees. Thereafter the master shall try earnestly to advise the combatant one last time; whereupon the combatant shall stay; and shall fathom nothing, yet focus upon his foe and earnestly look at him.	von kuntschafft wie der kempffer und der maister kuntschafft möchte hon zu rem widertail, wz sin wesen wer, ob er sÿ starck oder swach, ob er och sÿ gechzornig oder nit, und wie sin touff nam hieß, ob man wölt dar uß bratticiern oder rechnen. Es ist och nottürfftig zu wissen wz maister in lerr dz man sich dar^nach müg richten [10v] und inn under richten dar uff er bliben sol, und sol in uff kein ding haissen acht hon dann uff sin vind, und den ernstlich an schowen.
	[19] Mark the presentation when one thus comes within the barriers: So shall he make one cross with the right foot and one cross with the right hand at his breast and shall sign in the name of the Father and Son and the Holy Ghost. The grit-wardens bearing staves or spears take the men in and present them and they turn round in the Sun. So then shall each combatant bid well the witnessing princes and lords; and they stand around the circle, as each bids God would help him and would give him victory over his foe, as He has truth and right.	Merck uff dz infüeren Item wenn der man kompt in den schrancken so sol er machen mit dem rechten fuß ain krütz und mit der hand aines an an die brust und sol fürsich gon im namen des vatters und sunes und des hailigen gaistes. Dann sind In die grieß^wartten nemen und sind Inn fürren gegen der sunnen umbhe. So sol dann der kempfer die fürsten und herren bitten und^dieumb den kraiß stand, dz sy im wölle helffen got bitten dz er Im sig wölle geben gegen sinem vind alz er war und recht hab.
	[20] Thereafter shall one sit down in the chair: When he is now seated, so shall someone overspan him with a tent, and his bier is behind him at the barriers, and his arsenal is well-arrayed and is lawful and ready for his needs / as required by court.	Dar nach sol man In setzen in den sessel Wenn er nun gesessen ist So soll man im für spannen ain tüch und sin bar hinder Im an den schrancken und sine gwer sind wol gehenckt sin und gericht nach nottürfft
	[21] The grit-wardens or armigers: The master and grit-wardens should heed the judge, or whomever else then as agreed previously. Dueling is started at the first call – so shall he the judge call the combatants to stand up and draw up from the tents; and when he has called for the third time, calling them by name, then he goes thence and commends them unto God.	Die grieß wartten oder käpffer Der maister und die grieß wartten söllend mercken uff den richter oder uff den, der den kampff an lauffen wirt. Wann der rüfft zu dem ersten mal, so sol er den man haisen uff ston und dz tüch von Im ziehen, und wann man rüfft zü dem dritten mäl So sol er In haissen hin gon und In got enpfelhen.
	[22] Of the aftermath states the judge: Thus the combatant shall ward his body as avails him, within the ring or barriers; and then go out when he overcomes. So states the judge the aftermath at the barriers – that the combatant has proven himself ever-so right, if he becomes called the winner. x Talhoffer	Von dem nach richter Item der kempffer sol wartten das Im nützit an dem lib über den ring oder schrancken uß gang dann wz dar über kem, so stat der nach richter an dem schrancken der hott ims ab mit recht ob er angerüft wirt. x talhoffer
	[23] He “inscribes” a message within a knotted twine.	[11r] der schribt an ain knuo faden
	[24] He records the words of the mouth upon paper and those shall become black later.	der schribt uß dem mund und wirt schwartz

The earlest known copy made from the archetype, which was previously Cod.Ser.Nov.2978, was sold to an unknown private collector in the late 20th century and is no longer available for study. For this reason, it cannot be included in the concordances below. The Göttingen, Wolfenbüttel, and Coburg versions only include plays of the duel between man and woman, so to make the tables easier to read, they are omitted from all other sections and included at the far right side of that one.

[1] Here is the beginning with the shield and the stance to my advantage. God give us luck and well-being.	[53v] Hie ist der anfang mit dem schilt vnd ston in mynem Vortail Gott geb uns glük vnd haill.	[185r] Page:2° Ms.iurid. 29 185r.png	[104r] Page:Cod.icon.394 104r.png
[2] Here I stand in the Frankish manner.	Hie ston Ich nach frenckeschem Rechten.
[3] Therewith allow I am not afraid. I mean to cover myself with my shield.	[54r] Damit lausz ich mich nit erschrecken. Ich wyl mich mit dem schült bedecken.	[186r] Page:2° Ms.iurid. 29 186r.png	[105r] Page:Cod.icon.394 105r.png
[4] Here I stand in the hazard.	Hie ston ich Im wurff.
[5] Here in this stance he has found me completely open.	[54v] Hie In diser stund hast du mich gar blosz funden.	[187r] Page:2° Ms.iurid. 29 187r.png	[106r] Page:Cod.icon.394 106r.png
[6] Here he has interlocked the shields and stikes towards his head.	Hie hatt er den schilt geschrenckt vnd schlecht Im nach Sinem hopt.
[7] This one means to hammer the shield at him.	[55r] Der wyl Im den schilt Inschlahen.	[188r] Page:2° Ms.iurid. 29 188r.png	[107r] Page:Cod.icon.394 107r.png
[8] Thus he steps forth and means to strike at his head.	So tritt er für vnd wyl In zu dem hopt schlahen.
[9] I have been found in an opening. I fear he might get a thrust at me.	[55v] Ich bin funden hlos. Ich fircht es werd mir ain stosz.	[189r] Page:2° Ms.iurid. 29 189r.png	[108r] Page:Cod.icon.394 108r.png
[10] This one binds his shield behind.	Der hatt Im hinder den schilt gebunden.
[11] Here he makes an end-thrust at me.	[56r] Hie macht er mir ain endstosz.	[190r] Page:2° Ms.iurid. 29 190r.png	[109r] Page:Cod.icon.394 109r.png
[12] Here I have thrust.	Hie hon ich den gestossen.
[13] With my stride I have surprised you, and strike with certainty.	[56v] Mit mynem Tryt hon ich dich entrist, vnd schlach gar gewyssz.	[191r] Page:2° Ms.iurid. 29 191r.png	[110r] Page:Cod.icon.394 110r.png
[14] He then steps around my shield. Thus, I mean to throw (the club?).	Er hatt mir den schilt vmbtretten. So wyl Ich werffen.
[15] Here this one means to thrust therein over the shield.	[57r] Hie wyl der den schilt obnen hinyn stossen.	[192r] Page:2° Ms.iurid. 29 192r.png	[111r] Page:Cod.icon.394 111r.png
[16] Here I mean to bind him behind and find an opening near his heart.	Hie wil Ich Im hinterbinden vnd vmb Sin hertz blos finden.
[17] Here the piece is completed just as it was described before.	[57v] Hie ist das stuck volbracht wie vor geschriben Stat.	[193r] Page:2° Ms.iurid. 29 193r.png	[112r] Page:Cod.icon.394 112r.png
[18] Here each one charges around and seeks his advantage.	[58r] Hie Triben Sie ainannder vmb vnd sucht yeglicher sinen vortail.	[194r] Page:2° Ms.iurid. 29 194r.png	[113r] Page:Cod.icon.394 113r.png
[19] This one then has the advantage.	Der hatt den vortail.
[20] In this, he strikes the shield from his hand out of the bind and means to thrust towards him when he finds an opening.	[58v] Da hatt er Im den Schilt vsz der hend geschlagen vsz dem anbinden vnd wyl stossen wa er Im noch blosz finden.	[195r] Page:2° Ms.iurid. 29 195r.png	[114r] Page:Cod.icon.394 114r.png
[21] However, thus he grasps with his arm and throws the shield from him and helps him away.	So grifft aber der mit dem Arm vnd würfft den schilt von Im vnd hilfft Im hinweg.
[22] From his helping-away, I thrust here-behind.	[59r] Vsz sinem anweg helffen kumpt mir myn stossz herwyder.	[196r] Page:2° Ms.iurid. 29 196r.png	[115r] Page:Cod.icon.394 115r.png
[23] Here I present an opening, this earns me a wicked thrust.	Hie bin Ich worden blos des wirt mir ain beser Stossz.
[24] From the help-away, the whole piece is completed.	[59v] Vsz dem hinnweghelffen ist das Stuck gantz volbracht.	[197r] Page:2° Ms.iurid. 29 197r.png [199r] Page:2° Ms.iurid. 29 199r.png	[116r] Page:Cod.icon.394 116r.png
[25] The bind against each other.	[60r] Die Bindent aber ainannder an.	[198r] Page:2° Ms.iurid. 29 198r.png	[117r] Page:Cod.icon.394 117r.png
[26] From the bind, thus he binds behind him and thrusts at him from above with the shield across his thigh.	[60v] Vsz dem anbinden So hatt er In hinderbunden vnd Stoszt Im mit dem schilt oben durch Sinen schenckel.	[200r] Page:2° Ms.iurid. 29 200r.png	[118r] Page:Cod.icon.394 118r.png
[27] Here this one stands in his "Hat" guard and awaits his opponent.	[61r] Hie statt der In Siner Hutt vnd wartet des Mans.	[201r] Page:2° Ms.iurid. 29 201r.png	[119r] Page:Cod.icon.394 119r.png
[28] Thus this one then strikes the "Chop" from behind his shield and pulls it behind himself.	So schlecht der den Hacken hinder sinen Schilt vnd zert hindersich.
[29] This one pulls it behind himself just as it was described before.	[61v] Der Zert hindersich wie vor geschriben Statt.	[202r] Page:2° Ms.iurid. 29 202r.png	[120r] Page:Cod.icon.394 120r.png
[30] From the pull behind himself, thus he thrusts behind the shield therein. And the piece is completed.	[62r] Vsz dem hindersich zeren So stoszt er hinwyder den Schilt In den. Vnd ist das Stuck volbracht.	[203r] Page:2° Ms.iurid. 29 203r.png	[121r] Page:Cod.icon.394 121r.png
[31] Here he throws his arm out and grasps him over his arm and lets the shield lower and steps forth and strikes him about the throat with his left arm and throws him over the hip.	[62v] Hie wurfft er sinen arm vff vnd übergrifft Im Sin arm vnd latt den Schilt fallen vnd Tryt für vnd Schlecht Im Sin lincken arm vmb Sinen Halsz vnd wurfft In über die huffen.	[205r] Page:2° Ms.iurid. 29 205r.png	[122r] Page:Cod.icon.394 122r.png
[32] Here he turns his shield around, interlocking them, and strikes at his head.	Hie hert er den schilt vmh vnd Schlecht geschrenckt dem zu sinem houpt.
[33] Here the piece gets completed just as it was described before.	[63r] Hie wirt das Stuck volbracht wie vor geschriben Statt.	[204r] Page:2° Ms.iurid. 29 204r.png	[123r] Page:Cod.icon.394 123r.png
[34] This one is completely helpless and gets thrown.	[63v] Der Ist ganntz werlosz vnd wirt geworffen.	[206r] Page:2° Ms.iurid. 29 206r.png	[124r] Page:Cod.icon.394 124r.png
[35] This one has his shield between the opponent and the opponent’s shield, strikes and then drops his shield and means to throw him.	Der halt Sinen schilt zwüschen Man vnd schilt geschlagen vnd latt den schilt vnd wyl In werffen.
[36] Here the throw is completed and he strikes him with the club.	[64r] Hie ist der Wurff volbracht vnd Schlecht In dem kolben.	[207r] Page:2° Ms.iurid. 29 207r.png	[125r] Page:Cod.icon.394 125r.png
[37] This one displaces the blow with his club and grapples him with his arm and stikes him to death.	[64v] Der hatt Im sinen Straich versetzt mit dem kolben vnd über gryfft In mit dem Arm vnd Schlecht In zu tod.	[208r] Page:2° Ms.iurid. 29 208r.png	[126r] Page:Cod.icon.394 126r.png
[38] Here they are come away from their shields and strike each other with their clubs.	Da Sint sie komen von den schilten vnd Schlahent ainander mit den kalben.
[Impression of illustration remains, but no ink]	[65r] [No text]
[39] Here I stand openly in the Swabian manner. Like one in a fencing hall.	[65v] Hie Ston Ich fry Nach Schwebischen Rechten. Als man ze Hall vicht.	[209r] Page:2° Ms.iurid. 29 209r.png	[127r] Page:Cod.icon.394 127r.png
[40] Thus I stand with shield and sword and have long wished to fight you.	So ston ich mit schilt vnd schwert vnd hon din lang zu fechten begert.
[41] This one then means to turn the shield and cut.	[66r] Der wyl den Schilt wenden und howen.	[211r] Page:2° Ms.iurid. 29 211r.png	[128r] Page:Cod.icon.394 128r.png
[42] Thus I stand with shield and sword and have long wished to fight you.	So bringt er Sin schwert zwüschen die schilt vnd versucht wie starck er Stand.
[43] This one stabs with the interlocked shields.	[66v] Der sticht mit geschrencktem Schilt.	[210r] Page:2° Ms.iurid. 29 210r.png	[129r] Page:Cod.icon.394 129r.png
[44] Here this one stands with his target uncovered.	Hie statt der blas vnuersetzt.
[45] We two stand like this when we both have turned around and each stand in the opposite stance.	[67r] Wir zwen standen wie die obern wenn das wir vns verkert haben vnd Statt yeglicher an des anndern Statt.	[212r] Page:2° Ms.iurid. 29 212r.png	[130r] Page:Cod.icon.394 130r.png
[46] In the "Hiding" stance, I turn my shield and stride forth with the stab.	[67v] Im verborgen Stund wend Ich min Schilt und schryt für mit dem Stich.	[213r] Page:2° Ms.iurid. 29 213r.png	[131r] Page:Cod.icon.394 131r.png
[47] However, here I have my shield backwards, and am undone.	Hie hab ich myn schilt gewendt vnd bin doch geschent.
[48] Thus I draw in my shield and therewith step away from his blow, thus I broke his piece.	[68r] So zuckt ich mynen Schilt vnd Tryt vsz Sinem treffen damit So tun ich Im sin Stuck Brechen.	[215r] Page:2° Ms.iurid. 29 215r.png	[132r] Page:Cod.icon.394 132r.png
[49] I meant to thrust across behind his shield.	Ich hon wöllen geschrenckt Stechen hinder Sinen Schilt.
[50] Out of the charge, thus I kick the shield from you and achieve my thrust at you.	[68v] Vsz dem anlouffen So Tryt Ich den schilt von dir vnd hab myn Stich volbracht an dir.	[214r] Page:2° Ms.iurid. 29 214r.png	[133r] Page:Cod.icon.394 133r.png
[51] There I displace with strength,^[35] meaning to prevent your cut and thrust.	[69r] Da tun Ich versetzten mit Sterckin wyl ich dir din höw vnd Stich letzen.	[216r] Page:2° Ms.iurid. 29 216r.png	[134r] Page:Cod.icon.394 134r.png
[52] This one has turned around the shield. Note this.	Der hatt den Schilt verkert. Das merck.
[53] Thus I let go of my shield to drop it and cut into the opening.	[69v] So lausz ich mynen schilt fallen vnd how zu der blessin.	[217r] Page:2° Ms.iurid. 29 217r.png	[135r] Page:Cod.icon.394 135r.png
[54] This one meant to thrust between the shields.	Der hatt wollen zwüschen Schilt Stossen.
[55] However, here is a finish.	[70r] Hie Ist aber ain end.	[218r] Page:2° Ms.iurid. 29 218r.png	[136r] Page:Cod.icon.394 136r.png
[56] Thus this one lets his shield drop and grasps him by the elbow and thrusts the sword across at him.	So latt aber der sinen schilt och Fallen vnd ergryfft In by den Elbogen vnd Stoszt Schwert durch In.
[57] Thus he means to hammer the shield and sword into him and bind behind if he wants to find the opening.	[70v] So wyll der Schilt und Schwert ynschlahen vnd hinderbinden ob er In möcht blos finden.	[219r] Page:2° Ms.iurid. 29 219r.png	[137r] Page:Cod.icon.394 137r.png
[58] This one stands in his guard.	Der statt In siner versatzung.
[59] He has drawn me to that hit, he outsmarted me with that.	[71r] Er hatt mir gezucht das treffen, damit er thut mich Effen.	[220r] Page:2° Ms.iurid. 29 220r.png	[138r] Page:Cod.icon.394 138r.png
[60] Here I have drawn his hit that he let fall and I have followed with the thrust towards him.	Hie hon ich Im gezuckt sin Treffen das er hatt gefelt und hon Im hachgerayszt mit dem Stick.
[61] Thus he examines the thrust, and does not allow him to come around it.	[71v] So hatt er den Stosz vernomen, vnd latt In nit dartzu komen.	[221r] Page:2° Ms.iurid. 29 221r.png	[139r] Page:Cod.icon.394 139r.png
[62] This one takes the sword and shield together from the "Bochen"^[36] if he wants to come at him therein from above.	Der hatt vsz dem bochen Schwert vnd schilt zemen genomen ob er Im möcht oben hinyn komen.
[63] Then I am closely between the shield and the sword, so that I can come at your head.	[72r] Da bin Ich zwüschen Schilt vnd Swert gedrungen, das ich dir zum houpt bin komen.	[222r] Page:2° Ms.iurid. 29 222r.png	[140r] Page:Cod.icon.394 140r.png
[64] As I have twisted the cut, I am undone.	Als Ich hon gehowen geschrenckt Da Ist mir mysse lungen.
[65] He means to cut with twisting and striding.	[72v] Mit schrencken vnd Schryten wyl er howen.	[223r] Page:2° Ms.iurid. 29 223r.png	[141r] Page:Cod.icon.394 141r.png
[66] Here mark that I have drawn my shield in and thrust in across at his leg.	Hie Merck wie ich das main das ich hon gezuckt vnd Stich in durch sin hain.
[67] The stance in the open guard.	[73r] Der Statt in der versatzung fry.	[224r] Page:2° Ms.iurid. 29 224r.png	[142r] Page:Cod.icon.394 142r.png
[68] Concealed in this stance, he shifts the sword into the left hand and he thrusts over the shield.	In dem stand verborgen wechselt er das Swert In die lincken hand vnd ersticht In übern schilt.
[69] Thus, in an open stance I am come around with my hand.	[73v] In ainem fryen Stand So bin Ich komen vmb myn hand.	[225r] Page:2° Ms.iurid. 29 225r.png	[143r] Page:Cod.icon.394 143r.png
[70] That I may be well thought of, I have cut with twisting.	Das mag Ich wolgedencken das ich hon gehowen mit Schrencken.
[71] This one stands in the stance in which this one arrives around his hand.	[74r] Der stant In dem stand dar Inn der kam vmb Sin hand.	[227r] Page:2° Ms.iurid. 29 227r.png	[144r] Page:Cod.icon.394 144r.png
[72] Again, this one means to turn against the shield if he wants to find his opening.	Aber wyl der vber den schilt winden, ob er in möchte blosz finden.
[73] Here we both stand with legs exposed.	[74v] Hie stand wir bayd blos.	[226r] Page:2° Ms.iurid. 29 226r.png	[145r] Page:Cod.icon.394 145r.png
[74] Again, this one may mean to throw the shield therein and thrust him away from himself.	Aber der mag den schilt wol hinyn werffen vnd In von Im stossen.
[75] From the throw, he thrusts him away from himself and from the thrust he must stoop to hew him in the head and in the back.	[75r] Da hatt er In von Im gestossen vom wurff vnd vom stosz musz er Sich bucken des how Ich In In Kopff vnd In Rucken.	[228r] Page:2° Ms.iurid. 29 228r.png	[146r] Page:Cod.icon.394 146r.png
[76] In this one, I mean to bind and wrench with the shield and sword.	[75v] Der hat wöllen mit schilt vnd Swert Inbinden vnd Rysen.	[229r] Page:2° Ms.iurid. 29 229r.png	[147r] Page:Cod.icon.394 147r.png
[77] Thus this one pushes him away behind himself and draws a cut from him and lets the shield drop and kicks from here and hews him in the neck.	So hatt der hinder sich geruckt vnd Im vsz sinem Inschlahen gezuckt vnd latt den schilt fallen vnd Tryt herfur vnd howt Im In sinen halsz.
[78] This one meant to angle the shield over and in.	[76r] Der hatt wöllen den schilt oben hinyn wünden.	[230r] Page:2° Ms.iurid. 29 230r.png	[148r] Page:Cod.icon.394 148r.png
[79] Then one ought to behold the shield and the stab-across ought to be made.	Den schilt solt Man ynen Sehen vnd der stich geschrenck solt Sin gescheen.
[80] Here I displace with might and remain standing and have my strong thrust abiding.	[76v] Hie hon ich versetzt mit macht vnd bin beliben ston vnd hon mynen starchen stich getan.	[231r] Page:2° Ms.iurid. 29 231r.png	[149r] Page:Cod.icon.394 149r.png
[81] As this one hammers in his shield and then means to make him defenseless and then to strike the shield from him that is broken to him.	Als der sinen schilt Ingeschlagen hatt vnd wolt den wörlousz machen vnd den schilt hon von Im geschlagen das ist Im gebrochen.
[82] Thus this one steps forth and grasps him about the neck and throws him with the shield.	[77r] So ist der für dretten vnd nempt In by dem halsz vnd wurfft In mit dem Schilt.	[232r] Page:2° Ms.iurid. 29 232r.png	[150r] Page:Cod.icon.394 150r.png
[83] As this one strikes him with the shield.	Als der den schilt In geschlagen halt.
[84] This is the piece completed, just as it was described before.	[77v] Da Ist das stuck volbracht wie vor geschriben statt.	[233r] Page:2° Ms.iurid. 29 233r.png	[151r] Page:Cod.icon.394 151r.png
[85] This one binds up between the shield and the man and then strikes the "Chop" about his feet and means to wrench.	[78r] Der hatt In gebunden zwischen den Schilt vnd den man vnd hatt Im den hacken geslagen vmb sinen fusz vnd wyl Ryssen.	[234r] Page:2° Ms.iurid. 29 234r.png	[152r] Page:Cod.icon.394 152r.png
[86] From thence, he comes at me between me and the shield, for which I must suffer.	Darumb er mir ist komen zwüschen mich vnd den schilt Des ich billich engült.
[87] Thus, from the bind, one may wrench to his leg from below and above.	[78v] Von dem anbinden So mag man vnden vnd oben Ryssen zu baiden syten.	[235r] Page:2° Ms.iurid. 29 235r.png	[153r] Page:Cod.icon.394 153r.png
[88] This is just like the other one, only he just might come over.	[79r] Es ist aim als dem andern vnd oder oben wie er des kamen mag.	[236r] Page:2° Ms.iurid. 29 236r.png	[154r] Page:Cod.icon.394 154r.png
[89] Again, out of the bind above, or "Bochen",^[36] thus each may grasp the other’s shield and wrench it from him if he may.	Aber vsz dem obern anbund oder bochen So mag ain yeder dem anndern griffen In sinen schilt vnd von Im Rysen ob er mag.
[90] From the step-in and grasp, just as it was described before, neither desires it to go to wrestling.	[79v] Vsz dem Infallen vnd griffen wie vor geschriben statt welicher denn nit wöll lon so mag es wol an ain Ringen gon.	[237r] Page:2° Ms.iurid. 29 237r.png	[155r] Page:Cod.icon.394 155r.png
[91] Regard this correct piece as now this one means to cut and thus he stands firmly and allows the right hand to go from the shield and grasps his elbow and thrusts him away from himself that he turns himself around.	[80r] Nun Merck das stuck recht als Nun der hatt wollen schlahen und bochen So ist er vast gestanden vnd latt die Rechten hand vom Schilt vnd gryfft dem In den Elbogen vnd stosst In von Im das er sich verkertt.	[238r] Page:2° Ms.iurid. 29 238r.png	[156r] Page:Cod.icon.394 156r.png
[92] Then he strikes the shield and binds it behind him.	Hie hatt er dem den Schilt Ingeslagen vnd hinterbunden.
[93] As this one thrusts upon the elbow, as it was described before.	[80v] Als der den gestossen by dem Elbogen hatt als vor geschriben statt.	[240v] Page:2° Ms.iurid. 29 240v.png	[157r] Page:Cod.icon.394 157r.png
[94] Thus turn yourself completely around and thrust the shield into him, and then the piece and break are completely at an end.	So kert sich der gar vmb vnd stoszt den Schilt In den vnd ist stuck vnd bruch volbracht zum end.
[95] In the charge, thus he steps behind him and breaks him in the high [guard] and he dreads getting thrown.	[81r] In dem anlouffen So hat er In hinder Tretten vnd bracht In In die höin vnd fürcht er werd geworffen.	[241r] Page:2° Ms.iurid. 29 241r.png	[158r] Page:Cod.icon.394 158r.png
[96] However, that is a strong charge, and from the charge thus binds him behind and gets him in the throw, or he must become defenseless.	Das ist aber ain starcher anlouff vnd, vsz dem anlouff So hatt er In hinderbunden vnd wirt In werffen oder er mus wörlousz werden.
[97] Here he breaks him to the trap just as it was described before. However, finish him off with the open thrust.	[81v] Hie hatt er In bracht zum fall wie vor geschriben statt. Vnd macht aber ain end mit dem fryen stosz.	[239r] Page:2° Ms.iurid. 29 239r.png	[159r] Page:Cod.icon.394 159r.png
[98] Here they both stand in the inverted bind, about to strike and to threaten each other.	[82r] Hie stand sie bayd zu dem verkerten anbund Inn zuslahen vnd ain annder Nöten.	[242r] Page:2° Ms.iurid. 29 242r.png	[160r] Page:Cod.icon.394 160r.png
[99] Still, thus this one means to give the strong to his weak; closely mark his struggle.	[82v] Doch so wyl der geben die schweche In die sterckin och sin arbait daby merckt.	[244v] Page:2° Ms.iurid. 29 244v.png	[161r] Page:Cod.icon.394 161r.png
[100] In the "Bochen"^[36] thus each willingly binds the other loose, so that he comes at him behind the the shield and makes him defenseless.	In dem bochen so bend yeglicher den andern gern losz vnd das er Im kem hinder den Schilt vnd machte In wörlouss.
[101] Here he achieves the strong to his weak and may thrust or wrench.	[83r] Hie hatt er die schwechin volbracht In die sterckin vnd mag stossen oder Rysen.	[246r] Page:2° Ms.iurid. 29 246r.png	[162r] Page:Cod.icon.394 162r.png
[102] This has lost his strength and gets pulled down.	Da hett der die sterckin verlorn vnd wirt nyder geryssen.
[103] Here the piece is completed to the finish, just as it was described before.	[83v] Hie ist das stuck volbracht wie vor geschriben statt zum end.	[243r] Page:2° Ms.iurid. 29 243r.png	[163r] Page:Cod.icon.394 163r.png
[104] Now allow yourself the plight and go under his weakness and hook him by the foot and wrench.	[84r] Nun lant sich der Nöten vnd gatt vnden In die schwech vnd Nempt Im den fusz vnd Ryszt.	[245v] Page:2° Ms.iurid. 29 245v.png	[164r] Page:Cod.icon.394 164r.png
[105] Again, from this bind, another difficulty: thus he has penetrated from above.	Aber vsz dem anbinden vnd ainander Nöten So hat er den oben übertrungen.
[106] This shows them both in the open danger-stance, from out of it one may look for and find all the advantages and charges and disarms and a lot of handsome work that one may make from it, thus one otherwise has no weapon except the shield.	[84v] Das sind die zwen fryen Notstend dar vsz man suchen mag und finden allen vortail vnd Innlouffen vnd werlousz machen vnd vil hüpscher arbait die man darusz machen mag so man sust dehain wer hatt denn den schilt.	[247r] Page:2° Ms.iurid. 29 247r.png	[165r] Page:Cod.icon.394 165r.png
[107] I await the ending.	Ich wartt des ends.
[108] I get the strike at his throat.	[85r] Wurd mir der schlag an sin halsz.	[248r] Page:2° Ms.iurid. 29 248r.png	[166r] Page:Cod.icon.394 166r.png
[109] And this one draws the blow to him and thrusts at him above the shield.	Vnd hatt Im der das treffen gezuckt vnd Im oben In den Schilt gestochen.
[110] Here he meant to bind in the "Bochen".^[37]	Hie hatt wollen der anbinden vnd bochen.
[111] Turn the page to find the piece completed.	Ker vmb so vindestu das Stuck volbracht.
[112] Here the piece gets completed, just as it was described before.	[85v] Hie würt das stuck volbracht als vor geschriben Statt.	[249r] Page:2° Ms.iurid. 29 249r.png	[167r] Page:Cod.icon.394 167r.png
[113] This shows the shield fight at an end. God deliver us from all worry.	[86r] Da hatt das schiltfechten ain end. das vnsz gott allen kumer wend.	[250r] Page:2° Ms.iurid. 29 250r.png	[168r] Page:Cod.icon.394 168r.png

[24] For the upper stab, he has thrown up his right arm, and helped away his stab, and stabbed him.	[90r] Für den obern stich hatt er sinen rechten Arm vff geworffen vnd sinem Stich hinweg geholffen vnd ersticht In.	[258r] Page:2° Ms.iurid. 29 258r.png	[176r] Page:Cod.icon.394 176r.png

 The first historical reference to Talhoffer is in 1433, when he represented Johann II von Reisberg, archbishop of Salzburg, before the Vehmic court. Shortly thereafter in 1434, Talhoffer was arrested and questioned by order of Wilhelm von Villach (a footman to Albrecht III von Wittelsbach, duke of Bavaria) in connection to the trial of a Nuremberg aristocrat named Jacob Auer, accused of murdering of his brother Hans. Talhoffer subsequently confessed to being hired to abduct Hans von Villach, and offered testimony that others hired by Auer performed the murder.<ref>[[Jens P. Kleinau]]. [https://talhoffer.wordpress.com/2016/05/18/1434-march-20th-talhoffers-confession-in-salzburg/ "1434 March 20th – Talhoffer’s confession in Salzburg"]. ''Hans Talhoffer ~ A Historical Martial Arts blog by Jens P. Kleinau'', 18 May 2016. Retrieved 18 May 2016.</ref> Auer's trial was quite controversial and proved a major source of contention and regional strife for the subsequent two years. Talhoffer himself remained in the service of the archbishop for at least a few more years, and in 1437 is mentioned as serving as a bursary officer (''Kastner'') in Hohenburg.<ref>[[Jens P.

-The 1440s saw the launch of Talhoffer's career as a professional fencing master. His first manuscript, the [[Talhoffer Fechtbuch (MS Chart.A.558)|MS Chart.A.558]], was an anthology that he contributed to in ca. 1448. The fencing portion is largely text-less and it may have been designed as a visual aid for use in teaching; in addition to these illustrations, the manuscript also contains a treatise on name magic and a warbook that might be related to [[Konrad Kyeser]]'s ''Bellifortis''. While Talhoffer's owner's mark appears on the front leaf of this manuscript, his level of involvement with its creation is unclear. It contains many works by other authors, in addition to plays that are fairly similar to his later works, and shows evidence of multiple scribes and multiple artists. It is possible that he purchased the manuscript after it was partially filled and added his own teachings to it later.

They exist in well over a dozen manuscripts created in the fifteenth through nineteenth centuries; they have also been published a number of times in facsimiles beginning in 1887, including translations into English and French.
-Talhoffer's writings cover a wide assortment of weapons, including the [[arming sword]], [[buckler]], [[crossbow]], [[dagger]], [[flail (weapon)|flail]], [[Messer (weapon)|longknife]], [[longshield]], [[longsword]], [[mace (club)|mace]], [[poleaxe]], [[spear]], and unarmed [[grappling]], often both [[armor]]ed and unarmored, on [[horse]] and on foot, and in scenarios including tournaments, formal duels, and unequal encounters implying urban self-defense. Despite the obvious care and detail that went into the artwork, the manuscripts generally have only a few words captioning each page (and in many cases none at all); some were likely teaching aids and would need no detailed explanation, while the treatises for Königsegg, Stain, and Württemberg were probably intended as memory aids to review his teachings after he left.

-Though there is considerable overlap in the specific plays Talhoffer teaches, the organization and exact contents differ in each of the four main treatises. For this reason, they are listed separately below (along with their derivative copies) rather than being combined into one giant mixed concordance that fails to capture the organization of any of them.

-Since the [[Talhoffer Fechtbuch (Cod.Guelf.125.16.Extrav.)|Wolfenbüttel]] and [[Talhoffer Fechtbuch (MS 014)|Coburg]] versions only include the section on longshield dueling, they are included at the far-right side of that table and not included in any other sections.
+In addition to the four manuscripts which reproduce all or parts of the contents of the Gotha version, there are two others that only reproduce the material on dueling with longshields. These are the [[Talhoffer Fechtbuch (Cod.Guelf.125.16.Extrav.)|Wolfenbüttel]] and [[Talhoffer Fechtbuch (MS 014)|Coburg]] versions (which date to the 17th and 18th centuries, respectively), and they are also different from the other copies in that they have captions for many of the illustrations in this section. It's unclear who wrote the text or when it was written, but it's possible that the text is original to the treatise and the Gotha version is just a draft or incomplete copy of another, now lost, manuscript. In the absense of more information, it seems prudent to treat it as authentic. To streamline the concordance, these two sections are included at the far-right side of the longshield dueling and not included in any other sections.
