Thank you for a great resource Jeff, not only for the Fechtbuch, but also the extensive bibliography and list of resources in the aknowledgement ---certainly a bar has been set here.

all the best

Hoping It Is Worthy

Postby Jeffrey Hull » Wed Jun 20, 2007 4:56 pm

By the way:

My work may not be in agreement with everyone, which is fine.

Some may differ with certain parts of my interpretation.

I only wish that I could have made it perfect, but that is unlikely.

So I offer the fencing world the best I could do and I hope that my work may still be found worthy by all earnest scholars who read it.

:wink:

Good luck,

Jeffrey Hull

Its probably impossible to interpret it perfectly, since after all it is a dead language. But it doesnt matter. the fact that you did this is amazing. I'm glad its free, but at the same time I want to pay you money I dont have. :wink:
