Missing Zettel verse from Dresden 88r (13)
German
- In allen winden
- haw stich schnidt* lern finden**
- haw stich oder schneÿd In allem treffen
- den Maistern wiltu in effen
English
- Cut, thrust slice in all windings,
- learn to find
- cut, thrust, or slice in every encounter
- if you want to ape the masters.
Notes
- the two versions of schnitt/schneyd could indicate imperatives vs nouns.
- lern finden could function as the imperative for both clauses, learn to find X in all winding and in all encounters/meetings of the blades

83r b Latin
- De quatuor nuditatib[us].
- Quum in conspectu[m] adversarij processeris,
- si quidem artificiose Athletica[m] voles exercere,
- feriundo ipsius ensem ne contingito,
- verum ex nuditatibus quatuor,
- unam observato:
- sunt autem ist[a]e,
- Una, latus dextrum, secunda sinistrum latus sup[er] cingulum,
- Reliqu[a]e, Latus dextrum et sinistrum infra cingulum,
- ear[um] igit[ur] si aliqua[m] elegeris,
- audacter quassato,
- neq[ue] cures,
- quibus contra te utat[ur] habitibus.
- Sed si se defenderit[^1] hostis ictus excipiendo[^2],
- in tui defensione[^1] contra proximum nuditate[m] eius ferias,
- itaq[ue] corporis,
- non ensis rationem p[rae]cipuam habebis.
83r b English
- About the four openings.
- When you would proceed in the face of the adversary,
- if indeed you want to exercise skillful sport/athletics,
- you will not strike [imperative, fut] the sword of that one with striking/hitting,
- however, from the four openings,
- observe only:
- they are indeed those:
- one, the right side, second the left side above the belt,
- remaining, the right side and the left below the belt,
- therefore if you have advanced [or] selected any of them,
- [you should] batter audaciously,
- but also don't worry,
- about any who use their skill against you.
- But if the enemey were to protect himself by intercepting the strike,
- you would thus strike against his closest opening in your protection,
- and so the body,
- you will not have the particular method of the sword.
83r b notes
- Alternate last clause: you will have the particular method not of the swords
- [^1]: defenderit is the equivalent of 'versetzt er', while defensione is used for 'in der versatzung'
- [^2]: 'excipiendo' is another form for 'versetzen', which means that the Latin has 3 occurences while the German has only 2.
