The Illustrated Meyer: A Visual Reference for the 1570 Treatise of Joachim Meyer

This book is a reference and study tool for Joachim Meyer's treatise of 1570. It includes all 69 of Tobias Stimmer's prints at their original size, and also the full set from the University of Leipzig's copy, which were lavishly painted by an unknown artist some time before 1574, printed here at 150% of their original size. Alongside these illustrations are tables indicating all of the references to each one in the text, including the page numbers in both Meyer's book and Dr. Jeffrey Forgeng's 2006 translation, as well as the name of the play or description of the action. For completeness, the illustrations from the Lund and Rostock manuscripts are also included in appendixes at the back. This should prove to be an invaluable tool for the study and reconstruction of Meyer's teachings.

...The Foundation and Core of All the Arts of Fighting: The Long Sword Gloss of GNM Manuscript 3227a

The long sword gloss in GNM ms. 3227a is one of the most important texts in the Liechtenauer corpus. It presents a teaching that is unique in the tradition, more focused on ideas and concepts than on individual plays or techniques. In this way, it is the perfect companion to the more action-oriented glosses of other masters like Sigmund ain Ringeck, Pseudo-Peter von Danzig, and Jud Lew. This book seeks to present these teachings in a new light, with an original translation that is easier to read and understand than existing offerings. In this way, it will hopefully reveal this important text to a wider audience. Included are color scans at their original size, transcription by Dierk Hagedorn, translation by Michael Chidester, introductory material, and a few notes along the way.

The Flower of Battle: MS M 383

Fiore dei Liberi was a weapons-master from Italy who was active in the 14th and early 15th century. After fifty years of training Italy's elite, he put his art to paper and created the Flower of Battle. The Flower of Battle covers the use of the dagger, sword, spear, axe as well as fighting in armor, on horseback, and other odds and ends. MS M 383, owned by the Morgan Library and Museum, differs from the other Italian versions by beginning with fighting on horseback and moving to foot combat with progressively smaller weapons. This edition includes high-resolution scans alongside a new transcription and translation by Michael Chidester, who also wrote a codicological analysis and an overview of dueling at the turn of the 15th century to help contextualize the treatise. An appendix includes a paper by Jay Leccese that analyzes the artwork and explores artistic connections to others of Fiore's manuscripts.
