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

2. When you would proceed in the face of the adversary,
3. if indeed you want to exercise skillful sport/athletics,
4. you will not strike [imperative, fut] the sword of that one with striking/hitting,
5. however, from the four openings,
6. observe only:
7. they are indeed those:
8. one, the right side, second the left side above the belt,
9. remaining, the right side and the left below the belt,
10. therefore if you have advanced [or] selected any of them,
11. [you should] batter audaciously,
12. but also don't worry,
13. about any who use their skill against you.
14. But if the enemey were to protect himself by intercepting the strike,
15. you would thus strike against his closest opening in your protection,
16. and so the body,
17. 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.
