Οπλοδιδασκαλια sive Armorvm Tractandorvm Meditatio Alberti Dvreri ("Weapon Training, or Albrecht Dürer's Meditation on the Handling of Weapons", MS 26-232) is a German fencing manual created in ca. 1512 in the workshop of Albrecht Dürer.[1] The original currently rests in the Graphische Sammlung of the Albertina in Vienna, Austria. This treatise, like all of Dürer's fencing material, appears to be connected with the visit of Emperor Maximilian I to Dürer's home city of Nuremberg in 1512.[1]

Dürer was an important figure in the German renaissance, and is noted for his realistic depictions of human anatomy. Much of the material seems to be copied from earlier treatises in the Bauman Fechtbuch and the Glasgow Fechtbuch, making it part of the Augsburg tradition. The lost Codex 1246 seems to have been copied in turn from this manuscript (as well as Christian Egenolff's reprint of Andre Paurenfeyndt) in the early 1600s.

Provenance

The known provenance of the MS 26-232 is:[2]

  • Created in Albrecht Dürer's workshop in Nuremberg in ca. 1512, probably for Holy Roman Emperor Maximilian I.
  • Early 1600s - Copied by an unknown scribe to produce the Codex 1246.
  • 1823 - Discovered in Styria, Austria, by theologian Vincenz Weintridt.
  • 1833 - Presented to Emperor Franz I by Weindridt.
  • Present - Held by the Albertina in Vienna, Austria.

Gallery

The manuscript is composed of four sections of different ages. Part A is the youngest; it was composed at the turn of the 17th century as an introduction to the manuscript. Part B was illustrated in Albrecht Dürer's workshop in ca. 1510, and was later expanded with blank pages between the illustrations around the time that Part A was created. Parts C and D are the oldest, and were written at the turn of the 16th century (possibly originally forming parts of other manuscripts).
