85v a notes

  • Note that the zufechten isn't right at the beginning in the german, but in the latin it's nearly in the middle (thanks to the weird first sentence)
  • Latin has ignored the "Break the guard" idea entirely
  • from Vienna 93r
    IS ictus custodiam de die. id est eu[m] qui iam describetur, ictum repellit, insuper et reliquos, qui de die è supernè deorsum feriuntur. Transversarium...
  • the way the title is written creates a rhyming pair, but maybe that's just an accident of declension.


85v b

  1. Sin vero is te p[re]venerit,
  2. tu[m] pede dextro addita pr[a]escripta modò defensione[^1] ictum hostile[m] devita[n]s in latus dextr[um] tuu[m] prosilias,
  3. p[re]dictu[m]q[ue] locu[m] tra[?]nsversario ictu co[n?]cutias.

85v b English

  2. then you leap forward with the right foot having been placed as directed above as a means of protection, avoiding the strike of the enemy at your right side,
  3. and you clash together with the transverse strike in the previously named location.

85v b notes

  • [^1]: 'modo defensione' is the equivalent of 'versatzung' as a method of protection
