| Brief Description: | The Codex is a collection of anonymous German text and somewhat stylized illustrations from c. 1470. The manuscript noticeably contains three distinct styles of artwork from three different times. It includs useful material on the Langenschwert, Messerfechten, dagger and unarmed combat. The swords are more of the tapering spadone style of blade, rather than wider war-swords. The fighting style is somewhat different from those in other Fecthbucher. Although similar to the Liechtenauer/Talhoffer tradition, there is no mention of Liechtenauer‘s Meisterhau |
