German

Biß stercker wider
wind stich sticht ers so niemb es nider

English

Be stronger against,
winding [and] thrust. If he thrusts, then take it down.

Notes

  • Bite back harder - be stronger in opposition

82v a

82v a Latin (Sandbox)

Alia cautela.
  1. Si contra hostem ira co[m]motus ferias,
  2. et is fortiter ensem tenuerit,
  3. tuq[ue] habitu supra modò co[m]memorato uti volveris,
  4. Vicissim et fortiter resistas,
  5. brachia inde si versus latus dextr[um] tuum sustuleris,
  6. brevem aciem ab ipsius ense torqueas,
  7. atq[ue] supernè visum ipsius pungas,
  8. at si adversarius id observarit,
  9. sublatoq[ue] ense impetum excep[er]it,
  10. in intorsione remaneas,
  11. et mucronem infernè hosti adiungito.


82v a English (Sandbox)

Another caution.
  1. If you would strike the ire movement against the enemy,
  2. and he holds the sword strongly,
  3. and you wish to use the gesture the way it is remembered above,
  4. and you resist strongly in turn,
  5. thence if you would lift the arm toward your right side,
  6. you would twist the short edge of the sword away from him,
  7. and stab him above in the face,
  8. but if the adversary observes this,
  9. (the sword having been lifted to take out an attack),
  10. you would remain in the wrapping,
  11. and direct the point to the opponent below.

82v a English, smoothed

Less close to the page but more englishy:

If he initially held the sword strongly and you turned as in the action above, and you strike Ire against him, then resist strongly in turn.

If you lifted the arm against your right side, then you should twist the short edge of the sword away from him and stab him above in the face,

But if the adversary observed you doing this, and he received/removed the attack by lifting the sword, then you should continue wrapping and direct the point into the opponent below.

Indes, before and after.
and defend from the way, do not be quick.

Item cum adversarius ex forma punctionis vel Ictus ensem tuu[m] contigerit, in primo conflictu, < tu noli exercere statim Ictus crebros, sed festina lentè, et maximè curabis, ut prius observes nu[m] in ensiu[m] collisione molliter vel fortiter ensem teneat, > Sin id dep[re]henderis, uti poteris intorsionibus, atq[ue] crebris ictibus quem habitum nos Germani bellum appellamus appetendo nuditates proximè obvias.

  2. in primo conflictu,
  3. tu noli exercere statim Ictus crebros,

  7. Sin id deprehenderis,
  8. uti poteris intorsionibus,

82v b English

Version 1

Also, when the adversary or the strike touches your sword from the form of puncture, in the first conflict, you do not want to immediately employ continuous strikes, but hasten slowly, and you will take the greatest care, in order to observe earlier whether in the striking together of swords, he holds the sword gently or strongly, but if you are able to seize it, so that you are able in the wrapping, and (continuous strikes having been assailed), seek any action we Germans call beautiful warfare, at the closest exposed opening.

Version 2 (Sandbox)

  1. Also, when the adversary touches your sword from the form of puncture or strike,
  2. in the first fight/conflict,
  3. you do not want to immediately administer repeated strikes,
  4. but hasten slowly,
  5. and you will take the greatest care,
  6. in order to observe earlier whether[,] in the striking together of swords[,] he holds the sword gently or strongly,
  7. but if you are able to recognize this,
  8. you are able to use the wrapping and the frequent strikes,
  9. having been assailed[,] you meet/intercept any action we Germans call beautiful/warfare[,] at the closest opening.

Version 2 (Sandbox, smoothed)

  1. When the adversary makes contact with your sword
  2. during an initial attack,
  3. don't immediately try to hit back,
  4. but take care to determine quickly whether he holds the sword strongly or gently.
  5. If you can tell that,
  6. you can use wrappings and continuous strikes,
  7. once you have been attacked, to intercept any attack (beautiful and warlike) to the closest opening.

Note the inverted order of clauses in 3-4 to undo the grammatical indes

82v b notes

  • two parallel phrases: in the german too
  • Note on crebros: if it's related to winden, "continuous" may be a better reading than "repeated"; could there be a sense of "crowded" as in "aggressive, applying threat without letting up"?
    • I have replaced crebris/crebros with continuous
  • footnote: festina lente is a well known Latin saying https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Festina_lente During PHM's lifetime, it's the personal motto of Cosimo de'Medici (duke of Florence 1537-69)
  • footnote: molliter is not only "gently" but also "tenderly, affectionately" or even "effeminately"-- there are simpler words available for "weakly" or "less strongly." Fortiter is the most common and simple word for strongly; there are alternatives (in this text) that have more connotations.
  • footnote: bellum war/beauty connection
  • note from Amy: it's interesting that he brings "we germans" into the explanation, suggesting he (PHM or the writer) sees the audience as not German, or not truly German

  2. cum intorsionibus et quicquod inde per mucronem versus quatour nuditates formatur,
