Translations

The archetype of this edition of Hans Talhoffer's fencing manual, the cod.icon. 394a, was produced in 1467 for Eberhardt, Graf von Württemberg.[1] It exists in at least four largely-complete manuscript copies and three other fragments, all created before 1820; it was also published in facsimile by Gustav Hergsell in 1887 and 1894.

Treatise

The earlest known copy made from the archetype, 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.
