Jude Lew: Das Fechtbuch by Dierk Hagedorn Hardcover
Volume 5 of the Library of Historical Martial Arts
The Jude Lew is, like so many medieval fencing masters, a mysterious figure. Nevertheless, five books of fifteenth and sixteenth books contain his
teachings, but only one manuscript from Augsburg is inseparable from his
name.
Lews
writings are closely related to Johannes Liechtenauer, the fencing
master, around whom no one is studying medieval martial arts. Liechtenauer's fencing art is handed down in several strands; Two of which are based on Peter von Danzig and Sigmund Ringeck, have already been extensively published; Only the tradition of the Jude Lew has so far been scarcely appreciated.
For the first time, this volume presents its complete manuscript from the middle of the 15th century. The comparison with the other tradition lines shows the appeal and the importance of this handwriting. This
edition highlights the special features of the Jude-Lew Fechtbuch, and
it contains not only an annotated transcription, but also transmissions
into modern German and English. The volume is rounded off by a detailed codicological description and a glossary.
