Le Jeu de la Hache ("The Play of the Axe", MS Français 1996), is a French fencing manual written between 1460 and 1485.[1] It currently rests in the holdings of the Bibliothèque nationale de France in Paris, France. The earliest extant treatise on the use of the poleaxe, the manuscript is possesses detailed descriptions of a variety of techniques. It is unillustrated, but each paragraph has a large blank space next to the smaller area reserved for an initial so illustrations were probably intended.
