This book is good - and a must-have for #Lichtenauer enthusiasts. Clear and concise summary of the interconnections of the Ainring glosses, complete transcriptions & translations of the different witnesses, and a ton of useful information for Fechtbuch nerds !

Random #HEMA finds part 3 - the #FFAMHE had the Ms.2348 , a 17th #fencing treatise by De la Fresnaye digitized in 2022.
There is another manuscript by the same author in the Library of the National Museum in Prague - shelfmark XG21. Not digitized yet, AFAIK.

There is a neat little rapier manuscript from 1618 (?), located in the Nostitz library, Praha with two illustrations that seem to have been quite crudely copied from either Fabris or Capo Ferro. It was digitized in 2023 and might have escaped your attention.

I had the pleasure of teaching a workshop on Hans Medl von Salzburg at the last Saint-Cergue #HEMA Gathering, organized by GAGSchola. Martin was kind enough to film the whole thing, if you want to hear me rant for nearly 3 hours : www.youtube.com/watch?v=ThFt...
