Latin 13r

Page:MS Latin 11269 13r.jpg

Ense brevi maneo. situs attamen hic ego longus
Nominor / ingenio guttur sepissime scindens.

Frontalis situs ipse vocor / famosa corona.
Nec cuique parco / cesura et cuspide rumpens.

Oppositus denti: muliebris sum situs apri: /
Impedimenta ferens versuto[1] pectore multis.

Sum situs aprinus audax / et viribus ingens /
Expertus cunctis cautelis pandere Vires.

The upper right verse on this page crosses the layout indentations by several letters.

Italian

I am the Long Stance with my short sword
And I often strike the throat with cunning.

[18b-a] Io son posta longa cum mia spada curta
Che cum inçegno la golla spesso furta

The Frontlet Stance, I am called the Crown;
I pardon no one, not from the edge nor from the point.

[18b-b] Posta frontalle e son chiamata corona
De tagli e de punte a nesum non perdona

Again, I am the Stance of the Queen against the Boar's Tusk; 
With malice and trickery, I will give of [my sword] in a brawl.

[18b-c] Anchora son posta de dona contra dent de zenchiar
Cum mie malicie e ingani asa briga io ghi o a'dar.

I am the strong Stance of the Boar's Tusk.
My tactic against all the guards is to probe.

[18b-d] Io son la forte posta de dent de zenchiar
Cum tute le guardie me son uso de provar

English 13r


I remain with the short sword, and yet I am called the Long position
here. rending most often the neck due to my natural inclination.

I am called the position of the Browband[2], that is the famous Crown.
Neither do I spare anyone, cutting and breaking with the point

I am the position of the Woman opposite the Boar's Tusk,
bringing impediments to bear with a cunning heart toward many.

I am the position of the bold Boar and immoderate with strength,
Testing [against] all guards to spread strengths

  1. ↑ Added later: "aftraro"?.
  2. ↑ 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.
