The MS G.B.f.18a is a German manuscript akin to a commonplace book, probably created between 1418 and 1428.[1] It currently rests in the holdings of the Thüringer Universitäts- und Landesbibliothek Jena in Jena, Germany. It contains a statement of the Recital commonly attributed to Johannes Liechtenauer; in this manuscript, the recital is attributed to an H. Beringer and arranged quite differently from other renderings (apart from the manuscript of Hans Folz).[2] Given the uncertainty surrounding the MS 3227a, this manuscript could be considered the earliest known text related to the Liechtenauer tradition.[1]
