¶ Hac cruce porto meam dagam luctando. nec obstat
Ulla sibi in ludo dantis defensio dagae.
Sed multis ludendo motis vastare valebo

¶ Praevalet iste motus cruce dagam nempe tenentj.
Supra nanque potuit operarj & subter in armis.
Vadit ad extremam nexuram hic ludus aperte
Inferior. Mediana iacet sub forte supermo.

Italian

I am the Eighth Master and I cross with my dagger, and this play is good in armor and without armor, and some of my plays are placed earlier and some later. Similar to the third previous play—that is, that he wounds the player in the hand with the point of his dagger—I could wound this man underhand just as [that student] wounded him overhand. Also, I could take his hand by the joint with my left hand and I could wound him with the right (according to that which you will find later in the ninth student of the Ninth Master, who wounds the player in the chest; abandoning my dagger, I could also do the final play).

[17r-c] ¶ L'otavo Magistro son, e incroso cum mia daga. E questo zogo e bon in arme e senç'arme. E li miei zogi sono posti alchuni denanzi alchuni di driedo. Lo zogo chi m'e denanzi zoe lo quarto zogo çoe chi fere lo zugadore in la man cum la punta di sua daga per lo simile poria ferir costuii di sotta mano, come ello lo fere di sopra. Anchora poria piglar la sua mano in la zuntura cum la mia man stancha, e cum la dritta lo poria ben ferire, segondo che trovarete dredo di mi lo nono scolaro del nono Magistro, che fere lo zugadore nel petto. Anchora poria fare Lo ultimo zogo ch'e dredo abandonando la mia daga.

In armor, this is a very strong crossing  Because it can bind from above and from below:  This goes to the low bind,  And that one from above goes to the middle.

[12a-c] In arme aquesto e un fortissimo incrosar Che desopra e desota se'po ligar Aquesto va ala ligadura sotana E quello de'sopra va ala meçana

English 37r

 
¶ I bring my dagger to this cross in wrestling.
Any defense of the dagger given in the play does not hinder this.
But I will powerfully lay waste with many moves in playing.


¶ That move certainly prevails by keeping the dagger itself in the cross
in fact it can be worked above and below in armor
This lower play clearly goes to the outer bind
The middle is situated by chance under the highest.
