¶ I pierce the exposed neck with the point of my sword,
Because the third master thoroughly taught me using a rule.
¶ I terrify the neck with wounds.
The earlier master, cautious in fighting, truly teaches me this, to wound with the sword.
04r
- ¶ Tu pudibundus obhoc ensem vel forte relinques

¶ You, Shameful One, will either abandon the sword by chance because of this,
or you will lie prostrate[16] on the ground, restrained by nothing
¶ It is expedient that you knock on the ground while your chest is trampled underfoot.
I will be able to try whatever I would want [to do] next with regard to you.

- ¶ Protego[17] cesura me nunc / ac cuspide forti.
Et capulo[18] faciem ferio / ne prensus hic ensis[19]

¶I now protect myself by withdrawing, and from the strong point.
I hit the face with the sword hilt, so that this my very own sword would not
have been grasped. Nor would I have been thrown to the farthest ground.[25]
¶ I will throw your horse; neither you nor anyone can prevent [it],
The chest [of my horse] will rest on the haunches of your whinnying horse
I will not release the ringing reins of your quadruped
until you precipitously strike the muddy ground with the crown of your head.
This best deception indeed prevails against [an] armored [person], and
[people] cannot injure with weapons anyone [who] trembles at their own capability.

¶ Ut modo tellurem calcato corpore tundas

¶ I maintain this grasp on your helmet, since you are turning your back,
I would send [your] chest on the ground while galloping behind you.
¶ If you were to beat the ground with a trampled corpse in this way,
The countering gestures are effective for this. The work is spiteful.[28]
Nevertheless, you want to attempt the same at myself.
05v
- ¶ Crure simul stafile levans / te vertet ad imum
Hec mea dextra potens. nec erit quae molliat artus.[29][30]

¶ Lifting by the leg and also by the stirrup[35], this, my strong right [hand],
will turn you to the farthest [the ground], nor will there be anything which would enfeeble [my] limb [arm].
¶ Observe how I hold your neck with my strong upper arm
by which means the efforts [are] in vain,
you attempted to throw [me], the Weaponless One, to the ground, but the counters conquer you
06r
- ¶ Si me rolandus[36] peditem pulicanus[37] et asper
Fraxinea[38] peterent hasta spectando morarer /[39]
Dextraque vel iaculum teneat vel turbida clavam[40].
Atque repercussis feriam furibundior[41] hastis./
Quamprimum hoc actu retraham capita alta prementum.[42]
User:Kendra Brown/Florius/English MS Latin 11269 06r
¶ If Roland and the rude Pulicanus were to attack me, a footman,
with spears made of ash, I would have delayed and observed [them],
and if he holds [it] like a javelin on the right side or an unruly club,
by causing the spears to rebound, I would strike more furiously
at the lofty heads. As soon as possible, I would pull back [withdraw], overwhelming them with this action.
¶ The lance now cuts your mournful head with great wounds,
and it moves me out of the guard of the arrogant master.
06v
- ¶ Callidus hoc ictu percussi labia duro,
Expectans reparare[45] gravi cum cuspide vulnus.

¶ I thrust through the lips with the harsh strike, cleverly
expecting to renew the wound with the heavy spear tip.
¶ Customarily, I move back and forth with the extended spear point,
But now I linger in all respects with my shortened spear.
With the foot, I have struck you with my javelin,
But I have another point which is even sharper than this one.
I wait in this guard with my lance shortened:
My method is to beat and to exchange thrusts.
07r
Tu tamen. et iacias modo si libet ante. nec inde
Effugito. lacrimosa manent te praemia mestum.[48]
Inque tuum pectus prorumpam vulnere grandi.[49]
User:Kendra Brown/Florius/English MS Latin 11269 07r
¶ Granted that my spear is shortened, YOU transfixed
will still die. you throw first, if it pleases you, and you must not
flee. tearful prizes await you, the Ill-Omened One.
¶ Having been penetrated by my spear, your javelin repels.
And I would burst into your chest with a great wound.
[15b-b] La tua lança e longa e curta la mia
Tra e non fuzir che te faro vilania
Your lance is extended/long and mine is shortened/short:
Attack (lit: throw) and do not flee, so I may do you villainy.
[15b-c] Cum mia lança rebatero la tua in lo mio passar
E in lo tuo peto te vegnero subito incassar
I will beat your [lance] with my lance as I step
And then I will quickly encase it in your chest.

¶ He throws this particular thing to strike back at the three masters before this.
And this is the way to run through the person with a spear through the chest
or face, and before this, you bruise the visage with blood.
¶ You do not injure me much, in contrast, I mix it up against
you, the Resisting One, and I move close while knocking in [your] teeth.
[15b-d] De questi tri magistri denançi aquesto e lor ferir
E per tal modo lor lança in volto o peto deve finir
Of these three previous Masters, this is their strike
And in this way, their lance should end in the face or chest.
Morgan: (not found in PD)
[9r-b] In meza porta di ferro io me ho posto cum curta lanza lo rebater e llo ferire, e sempre mia usanza. E vegna chi vole cum longa lanza, o stanga, che rebater cum passo lo ferire non mi mancha. Che tute le guardie che stano fora de strada, cum curta lanza, e curta spada, Sono soficienti a'spetar, ogni arma manuale longa. E aquelle della parte drita, covrano, e cum coverta passano, e meteno punta. E lle guardie de parte sinistra covrano, o rebateno, e di colpi fierano e non po metere acosi ben punta.
This is the counter to the three masters of the lance that finish in this play, and I want to tell you how: when the masters believe my lance to be pushed away from their persons, I give a turn to my lance and strike with its butt, since the iron in the butt is as good as in the point. The plays of these masters bother me little.
08r
Te moror, At clava tegmen mihi prebet. et ista
Daga ferit pectus. Quicquid tamen exigo clava,
Efficeret mucro. quamvis melioribus uti
Possumus hoc ludis, faciles agitando[53] lacertos.
Conmoror. at primum iaciam. reliquumque tenebo
[54]Illo membra tegens / cum nos arctabimus ambos.
Hinc cito te feriam sed aperto pectore daga.
User:Kendra Brown/Florius/English MS Latin 11269 08r
¶ In like manner, I delay you with steadfast dagger and staff,
but yet, the staff provides covering for me. And that dagger
strikes the chest. Nevertheless whatever I finish with the staff,
the sword accomplishes. Although we can use
a better play than this by moving the quick shoulders.
¶ I tarry here with you with two sticks and at the same time a dagger.
And I throw the first. And I will hold the remaining
covering the limbs with it. At the same time we will both of us move close together.
From here, I quickly strike you, but your chest is opened by the dagger.
Lo baston fara coverta, la daga te ferira in lo peto,
E quello che cum baston faço cum la spada lo faria
Ben che piu forti zoghi cum quella io trovaria
The staff will make a cover, the dagger will strike you in the chest.
And that which I do with a staff, I could also do with a sword,
Although I could find much stronger plays with the sword.
L'un te traro, cum l'altro croviro[!] vegnando al streto
E subito cum mia daga te feriro in lo peto
I will throw the one at you and I will cover with the other, coming to the narrow,
And quickly I will strike you in the chest with my dagger.
08v
Inquit. et hanc dagam proprio sed pectore figo.
Mortales / situs:. et ni cuspis fallere tentet
Decipiam te forte Virum. modo(?) Jupiter adsit.

¶ I do what was to be done, because the master has now said
In recounting. and I fix this dagger in your very own chest
¶ A Javelin clasped with hands, lo! I am called the short position
Among mortals. And if the spear point should attempt to deceive
I will mislead you, the Man, as luck would have it. If Jupiter is nigh.
¶ Behold, I am a strong position. And I am called the cross. Neither does any
strike bother me. And neither the point of the triple-point at any time.
[15a-d] Aquello che a'dito lo magistro aquello faço
La daga in lo peto t'o posta per men impaço
- That which the Master has said, that I do:
I have put the dagger in your chest without trouble.
[27a-a] Posta breve son la serpentina cum la aça in mano
Se la punta non me mancha e ti faro ingano
Colpi de azza ne punte niente mi nose
If my point does not fail me, I will deceive you.
- I am the strong stance called the Cross:
Neither blows of the axe nor thrusts can ever bother me.
09r
Letiferosque operor geminatis ictibus ictus.
- ¶ Dens aprinus ego sum fortis et horridus audax.
Quos facis[57] haud vereor ictus. nec posse fatemur
Sed mea percutiet languenti vulnere vultum.

¶ Behold, I, the position of the woman, am pure of faith.
and by doubling the strike, I carry out the fatal strikes.
¶ I the boar's tusk, am strong, frightful, and bold
I have no respect at all for the strike of anyone's axe; neither do we admit the possibility.
¶ Your triple-point has truly been thrown down into the ground.
But mine will strike [your] visage with a wilting wound.
[27a-c] Posta de dona son de lielta pura
Grandi colpi io faço oltra mesura
- I am the Stance of the Queen, of pure loyalty:
I make great blows from a different measure.

Blows of the axe can do nothing to me.

Tosto la mia in lo volto ti sera metuda

Quickly will mine be thrust in your face.

¶ And now I have burst out from the tusk of the boar ready to go using [my] very own triple-point
And I have struck those strongest parts of [your] visage.[60]
¶ Behold, I overwhelm your visage using a strong hand, and you <yourself> feel that
and now my sacred triple-point extracts [your] teeth.
[27b-b] De dent de zenchiar son ensudo cum mia aza
E cum quella io t'o ferido in la tua faca
- I am risen from the Boar's Tusk with my axe,
And with that I have wounded you in your face.

And I will bore out your teeth with my axe.

¶ Perhaps I would make a rotation using this taking.
From there, your [triple-point] is lost, afterwards, my triple-point beats you in the forehead.
If the fates are willing for the strong to survive.
¶ whether the wild sword is thrown like a javelin, or the second prepares
to cut [me] to pieces, the only [one left] desires me with the point,
this guard teaches [me], so that because I am currently laughing, I'm not afraid.[64]
[28a-a] Per questa presa io faro una volta presta
Tua aça perderai la mia te ferira in la testa
- I will make a quick rotation from this catch:
You will lose your axe; mine will strike you in the head.
[13a-c] Per lançare de spada e trare taiio e punta
Per la guardia che io ho niente me monta
Vegna a'uno a'uno chi contra mi vole far
Che cum tuti io voio contrastar
E chi vole vedere coverte e ferire
Tor de spada e ligadure senza falire
Guardi ghi mie scolari como san fare
Se elli non trovan contrario non ano pare
- Whether throwing the sword or attacking [with] edge or point,
It amounts to nothing because of the guard that I hold.
Come one by one whoever wants to go against me
Because I want to contend with you all.
And whoever wants to see covers and strikes,
Taking the sword and binding without fail,
Watch what my Scholars know how to do:
If you don't find a counter, they have no equal.

¶ Taking a step, I cover the limbs with my raging sword,[69]
From there, I will penetrate your chest with that [sword] without pause.
¶ And in order to hit you, the Ill-Omened One, again with my point now,
The left hand supports that sword with Strength.

E aquella in lo peto subito t'e intrada

¶ Here, I have thrust through your forehead with a bloody wound,
because during the time[71] of giving this [wound], I covered myself with a fleeting cover.
¶ You should mock me with your voice and [definitely] call me blind,
If your sword doesn't fall to the ground, once I grasp it by the hilt[72]
Then you [definitely][73] remain bare.

Per la coverta ch'i'o fata acosi presta

¶ The Lower Key is received under the name of a strong thing.[139]
Any and all are excessively bound by the peril of death.
If someone enters into this, they will scarcely [be able to] take their leave from this to escape/die.
¶ I complete this Counter of the Master by wrestling
Bringing [the counter] about by means of the reversed palm of the hand by any and all means.
And YOU will sink down here by means of this taking, the knee having been bent.

This is called the strong key [lock] underneath * ensire=escire=uscire |

¶ I, the Master, now grasp the associate using both hands.
From above and from below, I can injure you using a weapon.
¶ In order that I will send you down to the ground, I am of course prepared.
And I will give many bad things to the head, if it will be fixed in [my] mind.

I am a master that makes the catch with two hands: |

Nevertheless anyone who attempts to wrestle similarly is not safe.
¶ Truly, in this other way, I can send you to the ground

This is another that binds and sends you to the ground, |

¶ Now I seek the counter to this with both palms,
In order to defend myself just as that master does.
In this way he seizes the companion with both hands during wrestling.

And I will dislocate the miserable thing in that place. Hence you will leave the chest[150].

Because of this injury near your elbow, it will convenience you to release me, |

Certainly your dagger will not be able to harm me.

I want to try to overturn you to the ground in this way; |

Anyone, who is burdensome, I hold by means of the right shoulder using wrestling

Lift the dagger. But I can wound you with many plays.

¶ I am not aware of any human with whom I cannot play,
If we both lead by turning dagger into dagger,
[If] I were either armored or by chance without armor.
And that movement would be pleasing, provided that the play is tight.
¶ Defending, I make this covering in armor.
I suddenly enter the Middle Key, which ends all war,
Any warlike dabbler[156] is not strong against it.
Anyone resisting cannot hurt me.

From dagger to dagger, I don't know anyone that be; |

¶ I bring my dagger to this cross in wrestling.
Any defense of the dagger given in the play does not hinder this.
But I will powerfully lay waste with many moves in playing.
¶ That move certainly prevails by keeping the dagger itself in the cross
in fact it can be worked above and below in armor
This lower play clearly goes to the outer bind
The middle is situated by chance under the highest.[158]
|
I am the Eighth Master and I cross with my dagger, and this play is good in armor and without armor, and some of my plays are placed earlier and some later. Similar to the third previous play—that is, that he wounds the player in the hand with the point of his dagger—I could wound this man underhand just as [that student] wounded him overhand. Also, I could take his hand by the joint with my left hand and I could wound him with the right (according to that which you will find later in the ninth student of the Ninth Master, who wounds the player in the chest; abandoning my dagger, I could also do the final play). |
[17r-c] ¶ L'otavo Magistro son, e incroso cum mia daga. E questo zogo e bon in arme e senç'arme. E li miei zogi sono posti alchuni denanzi alchuni di driedo.

- ↑ The bottom of the page, including the elephant verse, has been cut off.
- ↑ Nunc/mihi in some order?
- ↑ The second line has been over-written to darken worn-away letters. If there were annotations, they have not survived.
- ↑ This pair of verses has a bracket at the end, which has been posited as indicating enjambment of the lines by Mondschein.
- ↑ Added later: "de la pointe".
- ↑ Added later: "remoror [!] jaculum".
- ↑ Added later: "eqqus". Probably meant to be “equus”, but the two q’s are fairly clear.
- ↑ Added later: "ego".
- ↑ This word was obliterated somehow (“et” and “cesura” both show uncorrected damage) but has been written over by a later hand in similarly-colored ink. Further, someone has tried to write something above it, perhaps a French equivalent—the superscript is unreadable, but the second word, above cuspide, appears to end in “te” and could be “pointe”. The superscript above “acute” may have been in the D1 or F hand, but not enough is clear. There may have been a superscript above mucronem that was erased, although the remaining strokes look like they may have suffered the same damage as the rest of the page. None of the superscripts are clear enough to certainly identify the hands.
- ↑ A bracket, similar to the enjambment bracket, hangs off the last line.
- ↑ Enjambment bracket

- ↑ Probably laedere
- ↑ Possible scribal flourish
- ↑ the hand position pictured in this technique is very strange. Comparing it to the Italian copies, we think the artist doesn't have a martial background and has drawn a hand familiar from other artwork instead of a position that makes sense with a sword or other weapon.
- ↑ Added later: “??eeu vit”. Could this be “heeume”, misspelling of “heaume”, old french for “helmet”? There are certainly letters beginning above the g in “galea” and reaching to above the e in “prensum”, but we can’t make out enough to guess further. If the latter word is meant to be “heaume”, this must be hand F.
- ↑ Enjambment bracket
- ↑ The countering gestures are grammatically surrounded by spite.
- ↑ There is a marginal notation to the right of the verse beginning with +. The marginal note seems likely to be hand F, but the + may be from one of the Latin hands. My best guess: ??a??e tram ? perm

- ↑ Added later: "quisquam".
- ↑ Marginal note: "+ ecce".
- ↑ This may be an error for fascis.
- ↑ Added later: "scilicet subito".
- ↑ Added later: "+ tibi".
- ↑ If the translator is bad at Latin, such that he thinks 'illa robora' is ablative feminine, it could read 'And I have struck your face with the strong [weapon].
- ↑ We are translating 'captura' as 'the taking' or 'the takings'. Other possible contexts for this word in Latin are from hunting (captura=prey, the fishing catch, the bag of animals brought in) or from economics, in which 'captura' refers to ill-gotten or immorally gained profits.
- ↑ The second letter appears to have been corrected.
- ↑ A pun for ridere/riddare?.
- ↑ Alternate reading: so that now, by clearing the space, I'm not afraid. 'ridendo' is potentially a pun using the ridere/riddare verbs, meaning to laugh at and to clear a space.

- ↑ This page shows signs of scraping and rewriting.
- ↑ this might be vindicaveram instead
- ↑ Added later: "scilicet nobis".
- ↑ Added later: "+".
- ↑ Added later: "i.e. velocem". We also considered a volverem reading.
- ↑ Since the word "posite" doesn't make sense as written, we speculate it's an error for "ponite."
- ↑ This reading is supported by genitive of emotion, in which the rage is assigned to the opponent. An alternate reading would be 'I defend the limbs of rage' in which the rage is assigned to the speaker.
- ↑ Added later: "aftraro"?.
- ↑ The Italian and Latin term frontale refers to a forehead decoration for either a woman or a horse. While the modern English term browband refers to an element of horse tack, we felt it evoked a more correct image than other terms such as headband.
- ↑ potentially remeatio, but written as *tior to rhyme with brevior, minor, and revertor
- ↑ Or "saepe" (often), which may be more likely than "sepe" (hedge or defensive barrier)
- ↑ More likely laevus than levus
- ↑ The last word seems faded
- ↑ Added later: "scilicet ego."
- ↑ Added later: "dixit".
- ↑ Added later: "con? ut."
- ↑ We are using the marginalia to influence our reading/interpretation of this couplet.
- ↑ Note that the illustration is incorrect, showing the left side combatant with a hand on the hilt of the sword but no hand on the blade, which would make compressing the limbs much harder than in the Getty or Pisani-Dossi illustrations of this technique. The Latinist has inserted a phrase not in the Italian which provides a detail about the technique that's lost in the picture.
- ↑ Corrected from "de".
- ↑ Added later: "scilicet manum".
- ↑ This is not the same verb as for binding a sword, but it matches the Italian ligadure/ligare.
- ↑ or you will go gloomy into that <dark> ground
- ↑ Added later: "scilicet me".
- ↑ Likely haec
- ↑ Added later: "scilicet ensis".
- ↑ The period after habetur may be a later addition, since it overlaps the final stroke of the r.
- ↑ There's a light mark above Arte that looks like the abbreviation for haec.
- ↑ The fourth pollaxe play in Pisani-Dossi seems to match this somewhat. The fourth pollaxe play in Florius does not.
- ↑ The section of Florius about techniques for pollaxe refers to the weapon as a tricuspidis (triple-point), but calls it bipenna (double-edged axe) in the armored section.
- ↑ Added later: "pro cum".
- ↑ This may also be read as immanis but inanis is closer to the Italian
- ↑ Added later: "scilicet si".
- ↑ Using the marginal note: If someone were to throw a sword at my head
- ↑ All of the other images of this sequence show the sword sheathed.
- ↑ The initial of this line is ambiguous and could be M or N. We believe it is most likely an M, but if it were an N it could be read "I do not cover and I strike the point simultaneously at what will become an opening."
- ↑ "pretento" didn't match any of the adjectives present, so we've filled in "brachio"
- ↑ Added later: "scilicet ego".
- ↑ We've used the reading suggested by the interlinear note "scilicet ego" to disambiguate "ipse"
- ↑ This page has lots of dirt smudges, drips, and stains; some—to the left of the combatants in the upper register, and just below the verse in the lower—look like they might be handwritten smudges, but without clear meaning.
- ↑ Added later: "scilicet ego".
- ↑ Interestingly, this page appears to be dirty and damaged; the recto looks like it’s warped from water damage. The next several pages also show warping; the art quality has also declined substantially.
- ↑ The initial of this line is ambiguous and can be read as M or N. We have interpreted it as an M. If it were an N, the line would begin "I do not cover," but we believe this is not compatible with the rest of the verse.
- ↑ Maybe "laevo".
- ↑ The initial of this line is ambiguous and could be M or N. We have read it as N, but if it were M, the line might begin "Although you would hold me".
- ↑ Impressum often means something that has been marked or decorated using pressure, such as a printed page or tooled leather. On this page, the writer seems to be creating parallel imagery or puns about pressure and confinement, but has mixed up their relative position compared to the Italian.
- ↑ The initial of this line is ambiguous and could be M or N. We have read it as M, because we believe reading that word as "Ne" is not compatible with the rest of the verse.
- ↑ Could be “praesto”, Latin adv. “ready, available” or Italian “presto”.
- ↑ Added later: "scilicet occidam"
- ↑ We used 'te' as the object of both verbs
- ↑ Added later: "pro operarj".
- ↑ celer can either be an adjective or a verb, leading to two possible readings. celer as an adjective is more common and appears elsewhere in this text. celer as a verb links to the act of cloaking, amictum, in the next line. Here is our alternate reading of the first line: Nevertheless I would be shielded [and] truly cut out your very own face using this act.
- ↑ cruce is locative case, which the translation reflects
- ↑ Using DuCange's parts of speech for teneo (TENERE, Tenens, Tenedo, Tenementum), we assume that tenedo is the gerundive form. "-edo" is not a verb form included in typical Latin grammar.
- ↑ These umlaut-like dots appear on a few other pages, where they indicate words that should be read as a pair. Here the marked words are both part of a phrase naming a technique, similar to other times the dots appear. Interestingly, on this page it looks like the dots were written by the original scribe (for example, the dots over the a in spataeque have the same faded look as the a). However, appearing on so few pages, these dots don't seem to be part of the overall orthographic style of the manuscript.
- ↑ This actually reads 'lifting the hands and the sword located in the hands', as spatae is locative case, or indicative of the sword's location. We omitted the repetitions for the sake of clarity.
- ↑ grammatically, the winner was not deceived by the opponent's anticipation, and this deception is a completed action, which has bearing on the present action, that is, the placing of the sword.
- ↑ Added later: "cum". Potentially could be read as "eum" but we believe "cum" is a useful clarification of this sentence.
- ↑ While lacertos and brachia refer specifically to the upper and lower arms respectively, this is probably an attempt by the translator to avoid repetition, rather than specific parts of the arm that are affected by the actions. We have retained the specificity for linguistic reasons. We used arm instead of shoulder in the following couplet because the technique does not work with the shoulder.
- ↑ This might be a typo for efficit, which is supported by the use of 'ipse', and the fact that the next clause has the speaker working against this action
- ↑ Note that the Italian uses straight and curved for the right and left sides. So this is potentially a movement from the right to the left sides
- ↑ If the line we have interpreted as a comma after ensem is not a comma, then an alternate reading would be: Grabbing the sword in the middle, I immediately execute a strike.
- ↑ Added later: "+".
- ↑ Added later: "ego".
- ↑ Added later: "scilicet revolutum".
- ↑ "Denodare" is an uncommon word and its primary sense is "un-knot, solve" but in the context of wrestling, it seems to mean "dislocate", supported by DuCange: Frangere, pedem vel brachium laxare, Gall. Rompre, disloquer, to break, to spread out a foot/leg or shoulder, disloquer = dislocare, to dislocate
- ↑ Alternate reading: This is considered under the name, the strong Lower Key.
- ↑ Added later: "ego s."
- ↑ There is an unreadable marking here.
- ↑ Added later: "ego scilicet".
- ↑ Added later: "scilicet ego".
- ↑ This looks like it may have originally said “veter” but was corrected to “vetes” (e.g. from first person present passive to second active present).
- ↑ See Capelli 285; this can be read as either prope (near) or proprie (specifically).
- ↑ Subito has two meanings that both seem relevant here ("suddenly, immediately" and "going under, going upward"), and there's no way to tell if only one is intended, so we have used both.
- ↑ Should be "defendam".
- ↑ Saccere => sapere
- ↑ refers to elbow 'cubitum' or fist 'pugnum'
- ↑ "Pectora linques" ("leave the chest") could be read two ways: giving up the original attack to the chest seen in the illustration, or consciousness departing the most vital area of the body in death.
- ↑ logo = luoco/luogo
- ↑ Added later: "vel probabo(?)".
- ↑ if read with 'probabo' as suggested in the margin: I would, perchance, demonstrate a more useful [action].
- ↑ Added later: "~ ut".
- ↑ Insertion: "+ in order to"
- ↑ "Bellica" seems to be a term for military equipment, and "tractans" comes from tracto, which is similar to traho (pull, draw) but has additional meanings like discuss, handle, negotiate. We have interpreted "bellica tractans" as "a person who deals with war equipment", implicitly distinct from a soldier or military person.
- ↑ Variant of "namque".
- ↑ This line looks like it should match the last line of the Pisani Dossi verse, but the Latin case endings can't support reading it that way.
- ↑ This is read as a corrected error, in which the scribe began to write aufa, crossed out the 'a', continued the 're' and used the 'er' abbreviation above the incorrect letter.
- ↑ There's a marginal note that's hard to interpret: "n p o" or perhaps "R P O".
- ↑ Added later: "pro".
- ↑ Added later: "scilicet tu".
- ↑ It looks like the period maybe was changed to a slash/comma.
- ↑ Maybe should have been "terra"?
- ↑ Added later: "+ ut".
- ↑ Added later: "+ posuj".
- ↑ Added later: "scilicet ego".
- ↑ Added later: "situ".
- ↑ Added later: "+ mergit(?)".
- ↑ Added later: "scilicet ego".
- ↑ Added later: "tu scilicet".
