'''Johannes Hartlieb''' (ca. 1410 - 18 May 1468) was a German physician, poet, and author, probably of a family from Neuburg an der Donau. By 1436 he was serving as parish priest of St. Moritz in Ingolstadt, but was removed in 1437 by Louis VII of Bavaria for neglecting his duties (he seems to have been in Vienna at the time). In 1439, Hartlieb received a doctorate in medicine from the University of Padua, and in 1440 he entered the service of Albert III of Bavaria. He would go on to serve Albert's son Sigismund as well (beginning in 1456). In 1444, he married Sibilla, daughter of Agnes Bernauer and (allegedly) Albert III, and ultimately they had three children together.
 +
 
 +
Hartlieb was an acquaintance of German fencing master [[Hans Talhoffer]], and in February 1436 wrote him a letter suggesting a solution to the Villenbach case that Talhoffer had become enmeshed in.<ref>[[Jens P. Kleinau]]. "1434 Hans Kuchler and Johannes Hartlieb". ''[http://talhoffer.wordpress.com/2015/04/16/1434-hans-kuchler-and-johannes-hartlieb/ Hans Talhoffer ~ A Historical Martial Arts blog by Jens P. Kleinau]''. Retrieved 23 May 2015.</ref> Talhoffer went on to include a copy of Hartlieb's 1436 treatise ''Ueber die Erhaltung des Sieges'' ("On the Preservation of Victory"), which covered techniques of onomancy (divinations based on a subjects name) that could be used to determine the winner in a fight, in his own personal manuscript of 1448 ([[Talhoffer Fechtbuch (MS Chart.A.558)|MS Chart.A.558]]).
 +
 
 +
Hartlieb also wrote a number of other treatises in his life on herbalism and various esoteric subjects, and seems especially to have had a fascination with magic. Early in his life this had a more positive cast, while his later works approach the subject with a more religious disapproval. As none of these texts are related to any extant fencing manuals, they will not be discussed here.

 +
| <p>Firstly we must remark that the entire art of winning depends on the day which belongs to the combatant determined by the name he bears.</p>
 +
 
 +
<p>You must know that almost all the great masters have ordinarily categorised names in two lists: the fist contains the names which are consecrated to the Our Lady, the Virgin Mary; the other to saint George. So that all names belonging to Our lady, in other words that are on her list, are called brothers of Our lady, and those which are found in the group consecrated to saint George, are called by them the brothers of saint George.</p>
 +
 
 +
<p>Also, you should know that all the names which belong to the brothers of Our Lady obtain complete victory three days of each week and Sunday afternoon. Likewise, the brothers of saint George obtain complete victory three days of each week and Sunday morning (before noon).</p>

| <p>Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday, and the afternoon of Sunday are to the brothers of Our Lady.</p>

| <p>Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and before noon on Sunday belong to the brothers of Saint George.</p>

| {{section|Page:MS Chart.A.558 007r.jpg|3|lbl=-}}
 +
 
 +
|-
 +
|
 +
| <p>Now, one must know, when one provokes with the will to fight he must first make sure to start on his day, and make sure that the one who writes his letter of provocation is his brother, as well as the person who will deliver it, and that it is also their day. If he does this there is no doubt that the victory and advantage will be his. He should be careful not to mistaken the day, or miss it.</p>
 +
| {{section|Page:MS Chart.A.558 007r.jpg|4|lbl=-}}
 +
 
 +
|-
 +
|
 +
| <p>Item… we also have to remark that if someone provokes his ''brother in name'' on a day which belongs to both, it will be the person who provokes that will have the advantage. But if one of the two absolutely wants to risk fighting his brother, he should choose the days which does not belong to him; for example if he is a brother of Saint George and he wants to fight against another brother of Saint George, he should begin the preliminaries on a day which belongs to the brothers of Our Lady, for example Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday, and on the same day he should send the message or answer it.</p>

 +
| <p>Item… we assure that one must guard themselves from the changing of a complaint or answer, because from the one who provokes their could be the result that another will be provoked and the same calculation could be made in reverse, and this should be avoided for many people will be wronged.</p>

| <p>Item… if you wish to know when two men should fight who will be injured and in which part of his body, do the following. If he who is the victor has fought a brother of the same name on a day which belongs to them, he will not be victorious; the challenger will be injured though the victory should be his.</p>

| <p>Item… do you want to know to what member (extremity) he will be injured, it is very nice to reveal this to people; do the following. You will know that in the cabalistic arts every day is divided into twelve hours. Of these twelve hours six are before noon and six in the afternoon.</p>

| <p>Take very good heed that on the odd hours he will be injured on his right side and on the even hours on his left side. If someone fights in the first hour of the morning, he will be injured on the right side of the head and neck, but if he fights on the third hour of the morning, he will be injured on the right of the chest and right arm. If he fights on the fifth hour, he will be injured on the right hand side.</p>

If he fights on the fifth hour, his injury will on his right leg under the knee.</p>
 +
 +
<p>If he fights the second hour in the afternoon, he will be injured to the left side close to the hip; if he fights on the fourth hour, he will be injured to the left thigh above the knee; if he fights in the sixth hour he will be injured to the left leg above the knee.</p>

|
 +
| <p>It… now I will cite the first figure, which is called Pythagoras’s figure (clock).</p>
 +
<p>In this figure (diagram), we find the answer for all questions, for a bad or happy events.</p>
 +
<p>Firstly, write the name or what you want to know, on a table, in chalk, and with Latin letters, and indicate for each letter the number which is found in the circle A, b, c, and subtract the number XXX as many times as you can; keep the rest and add it to the opposite part, that is the other name in the A,b,c, and then find on which side it is found. Be very careful when you do this.</p>
 +
| {{section|Page:MS Chart.A.558 010r.jpg|5|lbl=-}}
 +
 +
|-
 +
|
 +
| <p>It… you will notice, as indicated below, that this figure is divided in VI parts.</p>
 +
| {{section|Page:MS Chart.A.558 010r.jpg|6|lbl=-}}
 +
 +
|-
 +
|
 +
| <p>It… the top part of the figure, in the middle, signifies happiness, victory, life and good luck.</p>
 +
| {{section|Page:MS Chart.A.558 010r.jpg|7|lbl=-}}
 +
 +
|-
 +
|
 +
| <p>It… the part which is to the right, also indicates happiness, but with a slight delay: therefore it is favourable.</p>
 +
| {{section|Page:MS Chart.A.558 010r.jpg|8|lbl=-}}
 +
 +
|-
 +
|
 +
| <p>It… what is placed opposite, to the left, signifies good luck, but this only happens by a small margin. When it happens in the numbers, it happens but with much difficulty. This is the case for all things.</p>
 +
| {{section|Page:MS Chart.A.558 010v.jpg|1|lbl=10v}}
 +
 +
|-
 +
|
 +
| <p>After this, you will observe the lower part in the middle of the figure: this signifies a prompt death, a complete defeat in all things.</p>
 +
| {{section|Page:MS Chart.A.558 010v.jpg|2|lbl=-}}
 +
 +
|-
 +
|
 +
| <p>It… the numbers that follow to the right, a loss, death or defeat, depending on the question asked, but with a slight delay.</p>
 +
| {{section|Page:MS Chart.A.558 010v.jpg|3|lbl=-}}
 +
 +
|-
 +
|
 +
| <p>It… the numbers which are found in front, to the left, also signify a loss, death, pain, and defeat, but by a small margin, so that he who believes he has won loses: regulate yourselves on this.</p>
 +
| {{section|Page:MS Chart.A.558 010v.jpg|4|lbl=-}}
 +
 +
|-
 +
|
 +
| <p>Item… in this figure you will find everything which we can ask; whether an enterprise will have a successful outcome or not. Firstly, we write the name or what we want to know, on a table, in chalk and with Latin letters, and indicate for each letter the number which is found in the circle A, b, c, and divide by the number XXX as many times as we can; we keep the rest and add it to the opposite part, that is the other name in the A,b,c. Then we will find on which side (section) it is found and when we find it we keep it well.</p>
 +
| {{section|Page:MS Chart.A.558 010v.jpg|5|lbl=-}}
 +
 +
|-
 +
|
 +
| <p>It… you will find, as I will indicate, that that this figure is divided in VI parts.</p>
 +
| {{section|Page:MS Chart.A.558 010v.jpg|6|lbl=-}}
 +
 +
|-
 +
|
 +
| <p>It… the top part of the figure, in the middle, represents a real chance, the victory, life and everything which is good.</p>

|-
 +
|
 +
| <p>It… the top part to the left signifies good, but happens by a very thin margin. When it is found in numbers, what is indicated happens with much difficulty; it is like this with a lot of things.</p>

 +
|-
 +
|
 +
| <p>You will then notice, what is in the centre of the figure (diagram), is a prompt death, defeat and loss in all things.</p>

 +
 +
|-
 +
|
 +

Johannes Hartlieb (ca. 1410 - 18 May 1468) was a German physician, poet, and author, probably of a family from Neuburg an der Donau. By 1436 he was serving as parish priest of St. Moritz in Ingolstadt, but was removed in 1437 by Louis VII of Bavaria for neglecting his duties (he seems to have been in Vienna at the time). In 1439, Hartlieb received a doctorate in medicine from the University of Padua, and in 1440 he entered the service of Albert III of Bavaria. He would go on to serve Albert's son Sigismund as well (beginning in 1456). In 1444, he married Sibilla, daughter of Agnes Bernauer and (allegedly) Albert III, and ultimately they had three children together.

Hartlieb was an acquaintance of German fencing master Hans Talhoffer, and in February 1436 wrote him a letter suggesting a solution to the Villenbach case that Talhoffer had become enmeshed in.[1] Talhoffer went on to include a copy of Hartlieb's 1436 treatise Ueber die Erhaltung des Sieges ("On the Preservation of Victory"), which covered techniques of onomancy (divinations based on a subjects name) that could be used to determine the winner in a fight, in his own personal manuscript of 1448 (MS Chart.A.558).

Hartlieb also wrote a number of other treatises in his life on herbalism and various esoteric subjects, and seems especially to have had a fascination with magic. Early in his life this had a more positive cast, while his later works approach the subject with a more religious disapproval. As none of these texts are related to any extant fencing manuals, they will not be discussed here.
