Translation, transcription, and commentary by Dierk Hagedorn and Christian Henry Tobler
Noted medieval combat authorities Dierk Hagedorn and Christian Henry Tobler join forces to present a transcription, translation, and analysis of the
Peter von Danzig Fight Book, one of
the finest martial arts manuscripts of the 15th century devoted to the
fencing tradition of German grandmaster Johannes Liechtenauer. The codex
features anonymous commentaries on Liechtenauer's own mnemonic verses,
as well as treatises by other masters of his circle: Masters Lignitzer,
Huntfelt, Ott, and Peter von Danzig himself. A compendium of teachings
for how to fight with the long sword, spear, sword and buckler, dagger,
as well as unarmed grappling, both in and out of armour, this volume is a
valuable resource for historical martial artists, historians, and medieval reenactors.

About the Author
Christian Henry Tobler has been a longtime student of
swordsmanship, focused on the study of medieval Fechtbücher (fight
books) since the late 1990s. Now with five books, two instructional DVDs
and a growing number of published articles and essays to his credit, he
was the first recipient of the Lifetime Achievement Award for
Historical European Martial Arts in 2013. Mr. Tobler is the current
Grand Master of the Order of Selohaar, an eclectic order of chivalry
that he co-founded in 1979, and serves as Principal Instructor for its
associated school of swordsmanship, the Selohaar Fechtschule. He lives
with his wife in the United States, in rural Oxford, Connecticut, where
he teaches a weekly class on medieval German combat, surrounded by far
too many books and pieces of arms and armour for the size house that
they live in.
