Translation: Longsword flourishes of the Anonymous Unicum

Jan 26, 2021

This is my current translation of the anonymous sword treatise of the “Anonymous Unicum” (folio 101r) in the Durer Fechtbuch, working from Dierk Hagedorn’s transcription.

Please note that this translation is released under copyright, and that while I am more than happy for people to use it for their own training and study, you must contact me to request permission to use it in any publication or for any commercial use.

I have chosen to leave technical terms untranslated, to avoid imposing any unwanted interpretation or baggage on the terms. However, I realise that some people do prefer to see everything translated, including technical terms, so I have offered suggestions in the footnotes.

Access the translation on my website at this link:
