Latin 27v

Page:MS Latin 11269 27v.jpg

Ense tuo proprios disco referire lacertos.
Aut te percutiam. simul hoc[1] vel brachia claudam.[2]


Quam prudenter ago spatam propriumque lacertum
Connectendo tuum. potero te namque ferire.

Italian

Not in PD, only Paris and Getty.

This play is taken from the first play of the First Dagger Remedy Master, who places his left hand over the opponent’s wrist[301] to take the dagger from his hand. In similar fashion the student here places his left hand over the opponent’s right forearm, rotating it outwards to remove the sword from his right hand. Or from here he can transition to a middle bind, as shown in the second play of the above-mentioned First Dagger Remedy Master. And that bind belongs to this student.

English 27v

 
I learn to strike your upper arm back[wards] with your sword.
Either I would beat you, and simultaneously with [the strike back], I would also blockade your lower arm.

  1. Added later: "cum". Potentially could be read as "eum" but we believe "cum" is a useful clarification of this sentence.
  2. While lacertos and brachia refer specifically to the upper and lower arms respectively, this is probably an attempt by the translator to avoid repetition, rather than specific parts of the arm that are affected by the actions. We have retained the specificity for linguistic reasons. We used arm instead of shoulder in the following couplet because the technique does not work with the shoulder.
