fighting manual.

It's modern title is "Medieval Combat: A Fifteenth Century Illustrated
Manual of Swordfighting and Close-Quarter Combat".
Every page has an illustration from the original text with modern English
descriptions. Unfortunately none of the original German text is included. It
describes long sword, pole axe, shield and mace, sword and shield, wrestling
to name a few.

Grace and Peace,

Jovian
