Talk:Nicolaüs
The mention of a certain "Nicolaus thum" on fol. 189r of Glasgow, Glasgow Museums, R. L. Scott Collection, E.1939.65.354 is definitely NOT the name of a fencing master. It is a colophon mentioning the scribe and the date of accomplishment of the text that has been copied into the fight book of Gregor Erhart alongside with the text. This name has nothing to do with the authorship of the Liechtenauer gloss that was copied. There is furthermore no indication that directly associates "Nicolaus thum" with Augsburg. I would therefore propose to change the title for "Gloss C" because the invention of a fencing master "Nicolaus" is misleading. Besides, the overlap of the copy in E.1939.65.354 with the most important specimen of this gloss is very thin. [23/11/09, Eric Burkart]
