meyers fighting from the stances

[Bill Welch]

Can anyone point me to a translation that fencing from the stances of Meyers 1570 fight book, most of the online sources I have found stop before this chapter, or stop short of longpoint in this chapter. <img src="/forum/images/icons/confused.gif" alt="" />

Hey Bill

http://schielhau.org/Meyer.title.html

this is the one i use and it is a very good translation, also Higgin's armoury museum has a dvd available of the Meyer translation and there interpretation it is an excelent resource and is only 4 dollar's it too has the translation on it.

Hey Jeff,

schielhau, stops right before it goes into the longpoint section of fencing from the stances. I need to get the cd from Higgins.

Jeff, I dont think it is my browser, I dont see anything past Chapt 11(fighting from the stances), page 40, it mentions describing fighting from longpoint then stops. I think that there are about 10(?) more pages that I can not find. Friefechter has a transcription to German(dont read much German). I would like to Translate these pages ,but right now I dont have the time, and would need to find a good dictionary. <img src="/forum/images/icons/tongue.gif" alt="" />

Yeah, when the last sentance is

I will describe it with the Long Point as well thus:

it does lead you to think there might be more... <img src="/forum/images/icons/smile.gif" alt="" />

I've got a translation of it that I did last summer somewhere, too. It'll be a while before I make that available, but if you bring up specifics I'll see what I can remember.

Jake, good to hear from you, wondering when you would show up in this. I have found a german transcription of the last 10-16 pages(dont remember) from friefechter(of course it is in German), and since no one else seem to have it(that I can find) I suppose I will try my best to translate, But it will take a while.
I recetly found a dictionary for german to english that has about 410,000 translated words. It should be here in about a week.
