'''Hans Folz''' (c. 1437–January 1513) was a notable Medieval {{#set:century=15th century}}[[nationality::German]] author. He was born in Worms, Germany, and was made a citizen of the city of Nuremberg in 1459 and master barber of the city in 1486. Folz was a reformer of the ''meistersangs'', adding 27 new tones to those that had been allowed by the twelve "Alten Meister" (old masters) up to that point. His ''Meisterlieder'' (a type of song), of which he wrote about a thousand, were mostly devoted to religious questions. He also wrote twelve ''Fastnachtsspiele'' (short plays that made light of people in medieval society, for instance farmers, priests, and the bourgeoisie) in the same style as Hans Rosenplüt, but with more subtle language. According to Albert Wimmer's ''Anthology of Medieval German Literature'', Folz’s plays were trendsetters in the development of moderately dramatic plays (''Handlungsspiele'').<ref>Wimmer, Albert K. ''[http://www.nd.edu/~gantho/anth354-532/Fastnachtspiel466-474.html Anthology of Medieval German Literature]''. p 466.</ref>

Hans Folz also seems to have been responsible for a brief fencing treatise, comprising ff 143r - 148v of the longer Weimar [[Die Meisterlieder des Hans Folz (MS Q.566)|MS Q.566]]. This section includes both unique content and a garbled fragment of [[Johannes Liechtenauer]]'s [[Recital]].

Hans Folz may also have been responsible for a brief fencing treatise entitled ''Abhandlung über die Fechtkunst'' ("Discourse on the Art of Fencing"), comprising ff 143r - 148v of the longer [[Die Meisterlieder des Hans Folz (MS Q.566)|MS Q.566]]. This section includes both unique content and a jumbled rendition of [[H. Beringer]]'s [[Recital]].

<p>So you come to the first step in the circle, so take sword and spear by another and take every way that the forward point is shorter than the rear point. If then he stabs back at you so pull him at his spear and let your spear approach and set upon him with a sword or set your spear against him. If he stabs at you, set off the stab with the spear and with the sword and let the spear go over his head and set upon him or take your spear with your left hand in the middle and set it before him with the point and the sword in the right hand and hold the man. If he stabs at you, stab with the right hand on through his spear that his stab comes between them to defend. So place the spear on the left shoulder and approach him with the spear at his face and set at him with the sword, If he defends or displaces himself, set upon him with the spear [] so he is in all ways [] and to leave the other and remember if you want to stab him in the other foot, know therefore to force a man to let you set upon him, If he will strike at your spear low to the left or the right, so switch the foot by the spear or he will strike it.</p>

Died January 1513 (aged 76)
Nuremberg
Occupation
  • Barber
  • Writer
Citizenship Nuremberg, Germany
Language Early New High German
Manuscript(s) MS Q.566 (1479)

Hans Folz (c. 1437–January 1513) was a notable Medieval German author. He was born in Worms, Germany, and was made a citizen of the city of Nuremberg in 1459 and master barber of the city in 1486. Folz was a reformer of the meistersangs, adding 27 new tones to those that had been allowed by the twelve "Alten Meister" (old masters) up to that point. His Meisterlieder (a type of song), of which he wrote about a thousand, were mostly devoted to religious questions. He also wrote twelve Fastnachtsspiele (short plays that made light of people in medieval society, for instance farmers, priests, and the bourgeoisie) in the same style as Hans Rosenplüt, but with more subtle language. According to Albert Wimmer's Anthology of Medieval German Literature, Folz’s plays were trendsetters in the development of moderately dramatic plays (Handlungsspiele).[1]

Hans Folz may also have been responsible for a brief fencing treatise entitled Abhandlung über die Fechtkunst ("Discourse on the Art of Fencing"), comprising ff 143r - 148v of the longer MS Q.566. This section includes both unique content and a jumbled rendition of H. Beringer's Recital.
