Martin Huntfeltz (Martein Hündsfelder) was an early 15th century German fencing master. Based on his surname, he was likely born in Psie Pole, a district of present-day Wrocław, Poland; alternatively, it is possible that he was from the village of Hundsfeld, about 20 km east of Würzburg. While Huntfeltz' precise lifetime is uncertain, he seems to have died some time before the creation of Codex Danzig in 1452.[1] The only other thing that can be determined about his life is that his renown as a master was sufficient for Paulus Kal to include him in the list of members of the Fellowship of Liechtenauer in 1470.[2] Attributed to Huntfeltz are teachings on armored fencing (both with the short sword and grappling), dagger, and mounted fencing.

Treatises

Note that the Augsburg and Salzburg versions of his armored fencing treatise are attributed to Jud Lew, while a different armored fencing section is attributed to Huntfeltz. That treatise likely belongs to Andre Liegniczer, as several other versions of the treatise offer said attribution.

Additional Resources

References

  1. His name is accompanied by the traditional blessing on the dead on folio 87r.
  2. The Fellowship of Liechtenauer is recorded in three versions of Paulus Kal's treatise: MS 1825 (1460s), Cgm 1570 (ca. 1470), and MS KK5126 (1480s).
  3. Das Initial ist ausgespart und nur durch einen kleinen provisorischen Buchstaben kenntlich gemacht.
  4. Written "die In", with marks indicating the correct order
  5. Korrigiert aus »an«.
  6. Placed between "die hant", with marks indicating the correct placement
  7. "wrenching" is a pure guess.
  8. Paragraph placed after 53.
  9. Die beiden Worte »ÿm« und »mit« sind vertauscht, was durch entsprechende Einfügezeichen kenntlich gemacht ist.
  10. Should be "fůessen"
  11. Note: "pull upward" is another guess.
  12. das »b« war ursprünglich ein »g«
  13. Schlos/schloss can mean castle/fort as well as lock. In either case it is something that is strongly closed.
