BJ Rkp. Przyb. 35/64 is a German commonplace book created in 1515-19. The original currently rests in the holdings of the Biblioteka Jagiellońska in Kraków, Poland. The manuscript is a compilation of a variety of disparate texts, and includes a brief series of fencing pieces based on Andre Paurenfeyndt's Ergrundung Ritterlicher Kunst der Fechterey ("Foundation of the Chivalric Art of Swordplay").

This manuscript is very similar to MS B.200, and was probably created in the same workshop.
