Latin 16r

Page:MS Latin 11269 16r.jpg

Colla super teneo mucronem. sentis et istud.
Nunc mortis patieris opus. nec fata negabunt.


Dexteriore tui cadet ensis parte / sinistra
Si me voluo celer / sed strictis artubus ante.

Italian

You feel the sword that I have set at your neck 
And I will show you death on the ground.

[26a-b] Tu senti che la spada al collo t'o posta
E de morte in tera io te[1] faro mostra

If I turn myself close on your left side,
Your sword will be lost from your right hand.

[26a-c] Si io me volto streto dela parte riverssa
Dela drita man la spada tua sera perssa

English 16r

I hold the sword at your neck. And you feel that.
You will now suffer the work of death. And the fates will not deny [it].

Your sword will fall from the rightmost part, if
I turn swiftly to the left, and also with the limbs compressed in front.[2]

  1. ↑ Corrected from "de".
  2. ↑ Note that the illustration is incorrect, showing the left side combatant with a hand on the hilt of the sword but no hand on the blade, which would make compressing the limbs much harder than in the Getty or Pisani-Dossi illustrations of this technique. The Latinist has inserted a phrase not in the Italian which provides a detail about the technique that's lost in the picture.
