88r b notes

[^1]: could this "id" refer to "indes"? Also, "id" appears with "deprehendas" again on 22a and 23a

[^2]: 'habitu' and 'forma' are both used here to refer to specific stances or guards, and the skill and/or positional posture required to learn them. The German assumes that once a cut or guard is named, then they no longer require the specification of cut/guard. In this case, 'habitus' is translated as 'stance' and 'forma' as 'guard' to preserve the rhetorical flourishes in the Latin. parallel construction, two attacks, included in the German parallel construction, from either of two guards, also in german

[^3]: line 11 is an extrapolation from the German [if they attack your sword], and lines 12 and 13 do not appear in the German original.

[^4]: Lines 16-18 are not from the German. The Latin does not include the German lines about winding in front of the opponent. The Latin rejoins the German at line 17.

88r c notes

• [^2]: Many dictionaries: http://logeion.uchicago.edu/index.html#concedes After looking elsewhere in PHM, I think he means some kind of step-- eg, the triangle step in the scythe section is "in triangulum concedas." Whitaker says concedas is the pres subj form of condedes (which is fut ind).
• [^3]: logeion has thoughts but doesn't seem to have any actual examples of quosuis: http://logeion.uchicago.edu/index.html#quosuis it does appear to be a frequent medieval latin word: https://www.google.com/search?q=%22quosuis%22&tbas=0&source=lnt&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwi95M3by5nXAhVn04MKHSCgDjoQpwUIHw&biw=820&bih=749
• [^4]: concessum-- adj. doesn't make sense to do this one as step, since then it would have to be passive (he having been stepped to you)
• [^5]: I don't know what to do with this one
• [^6]: is this even a word?
