Lance, Spear, Sword, and Messer

A German Medieval Martial Arts Miscellany

Beschreibung

This book covers the fighting traditions of the late 14th and early 15th centuries, particularly as recorded by Johannes Liechtenauer (1300-1389), with sections on the two-handed sword, spear, poleaxe, wrestling, and the use of long shields. It also provides analysis and historical commentary on the history of medieval German martial arts.

Autor

No author has done more to reveal this lost world of German knightly martial arts to a modern audience than Christian Tobler. Written just after the turn of the millennium, Secrets of German Medieval Swordsmanship (2001) was the first complete English translation of a medieval fighting text combined with a textual and photographic interpretation of its hundreds of techniques. Since then, he has gone on to publish three translation-editions of other 15th-century combat treatises, an extensive, fully illustrated training guide for students interested in the practical study of the art (Fighting with the German Longsword). In Saint George's Name (2010), was an anthology of essays on the art.
