In its pages, you will find a detailed description of the manuscript itself, a full transcription Dieter Bachmann and translation by Rebecca L. R. Garber, and articles from some of the leading scholars in the field of historical European martial arts studies that highlight various aspects of the manuscript and its history.<\/p>\n Paul Becker describes the life of Hans Talhoffer in unprecedented detail. Dierk Hagedorn discusses the many treatises of Talhoffer and their relationships to each other. Michael Chidester delves into the life of Konrad Kyeser and his treatise Bellifortis, which is the source for the manuscript\u2019s war machines. Daniel Jaquet describes the judicial dueling culture and customs that Talhoffer existed in, and Ariella Elema discusses the background and history of the specialized dueling weapons that Talhoffer presents to readers. Finally, Christian Henry Tobler explains the strange collection of esoterica that forms the final, inverted chapter of the book.<\/p>\n Version:<\/strong>\u00a02nd edition (November 2021) Preface \u2026 1<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Acknowledgements \u2026 2<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n The Manuscript<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Codicological Description<\/a>\u00a0\u2026 3 Transcription and Translation<\/a>\u00a0\u2026 9 Discussion<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n 1.\u00a0Hans Talhoffer: Insights into the Life of a Fencing Master in the 15th Century<\/a>\u00a0\u2026 47 2.\u00a0Talhoffer Galore<\/a>\u00a0\u2026 69 3.
