Latin 29v

Page:MS Latin 11269 29v.jpg

Inferiore loco capitur sic ensis acutus.
Quod faceret quicunque manet[1] hac arte peritus.


Esse meum reputo quem cernis nempe mucronem
Et volvendo / tibi faciam profecto pudorem.
Ac manibus retraham proprijs ni fata repugnent

Italian

This is the taking of the sword from below: 
It will be made well by whoever is a gifted master in the art. 

[24a-d] Aquesto e lo tor de spada desoto
Ben lo fara chi'e magistro in l'arte doto

I take this sword for my own: 
In turning and taking, I will do you villainy. 

[24b-a] Questa spada io la tegno per mia
In lo voltar e tor io te faro vilania

English 29v

 
Thus the sharp sword is captured from the lower position
Everyone has done this who remains skilled in the art


I calculate [that] you perceive that to truly be my sword[2] [now]
And by rotating, I will bring shame to you, the Departing One.
And I pull back with my own hands if the fates do not disagree

  1. ↑ Added later: "+".
  2. ↑ Mucro can refer to a sword or its edge or point. The original translator of this text uses a variety of words to refer to the sword and its parts, and we have tried to reflect that by rendering ensis as sword, mucro as tip, and cuspide as point. However, in this case, based on the illustration, we decided to refer to the whole sword.
