...The Foundation and Core of All the Arts of Fighting: The Long Sword Gloss of GNM Manuscript 3227a - Hardcover

Inhaltsangabe

The long sword gloss in GNM ms. 3227a is one of the most important texts in the Liechtenauer corpus. It presents a teaching that is unique in the tradition, more focused on ideas and concepts than on individual plays or techniques. In this way, it’s the perfect companion to the more action-oriented glosses of masters like Sigmund ain Ringeck, Pseudo-Peter von Danzig, and Jud Lew. This book seeks to present these teachings in a new light, with an original translation that is easier to read and understand than existing offerings. In this way, it will hopefully reveal this important text to a wider audience.

The Reference Edition includes color scans of the manuscript, German transcription by Dierk Hagedorn, English translation by Michael Chidester, introductory material, and a few notes along the way. There is also a Reading Edition, including only the introduction and English translation.
