This is my current translation of the preface section of the fencing book of Andre Paurenfeindt, working from Michael Chidester’s transcription of the section in the Ergrundung Ritterlicher Kunst der Fechterey (1516).
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.
