Nicolaüs was a 15th century German fencing master, presumably from Augsburg.[1] Nothing is known about this master outside of his treatise, but he seems to have been an initiate of the tradition of Johannes Liechtenauer (his treatise always appears coupled with a repetition of the grand master's Record). On or around 2 July 1489,[2] he seems to have completed a brief treatise on fencing with the long sword apparently based on a version of the pseudo-Peter von Danzig gloss of Liechtenauer's Record. The original treatise is lost, but it was repeated in all five surviving copies of Jörg Wilhalm Hutter's long sword teachings. Of these, five are repeated anonymously and only the Glasgow version is properly attributed.

Treatise

To allow easier comparison between the two complete versions, Augsberg II is presented in the column next to Vienna, before the earlier fragmentary versions.
