(reminder : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MS_862 ) This manuscript, once part of the library of the Princes of Fürstenberg in Donaueschingen, once thought lost, and once spotted by yours truly at an antique booksellers in Germany (and once also briefly studied there by the godly Matt Galas) has found...

Well, not new Fiore actually, as no period manuscript is really new. This one was hidden in plain sight, that's it. I stumbled upon it while searching this image bank for pictures of tournaments and fights. Heheh. Go there (god I hadn't been using this website for ages, as the previous version was c...

Nice study. I came to the same conclusions - following the leading research made by Matt Easton - in my 2004 articles (in French) about Fiore. What would interest me more, though, is information on these knights/squires I have been unable to identify. Among which this Sram/Gram ? (according to M.Rub...

French Longsword ? Well, material is just as scarce as ever....

Hi John

This picture just can't date from 1442 - the costumes appear to be typical early-mid XVIth century, not XVth..

hmm..to be honest I didn't know Mr Tobler's version of the Krumphau <img src="/forum/images/icons/frown.gif" alt="" /> . My own idea of the Krumphau comes from the various translations (mainly the French translation by Didier de Grenier of Arts d'Armes) I could get and what I lea...

Greetings! The last year has seen great developments within HEMAC, with many new lines of research and the labours of member's research coming to fruition. HEMAC has also taken several new members, including Jörg Bellinghausen (Germany), Marlon Höss-Böttger (Switzerland), the guys from Dreynschlag (...

Hi all I'd rather seconf Hans' view ; I'm far from being an expert in the German manuals, and unfortunately I can't express myself any better than how Hans did - but I don't think that the body movements of what you call a 'hanging guard' and the Krumphau are totally similar (mainly beacuse IMO one ...

Bob Charron is translating the Getty version of Fiore's treatise. this one is the (lost) Pisani-Dossi.

hm sorry to disappoint you but these postcards, as interesting as they may be for someone studying 19th century depictions of the Medieval era, are far from accurate (or maybe I'm being too demanding <img src="/forum/images/icons/wink.gif" alt="" />)...they're as accurate as, say...

I wouldn't be doing what I am doing now if he hadn't been there. as simple as that.

He'll be missed.

I think Didier's way to arrange each stanza helps clearing out things. As he said, there is more that just one general principle from the Liechtenauerian tradition in every entry of this poem. there are indeed 12 rules, but not 1 rule per line, if you see what I mean. Didier's presentation about tha...

these rules are from Paurnfeindt's book, aren't they?
