Jointly Published with the British Royal ArmouriesMedieval fighting has long been thought to be rough and untutored. Visiions of men madly slashing to and fro and hoping for the best still dominate not only popular culture but modern histories of fencing as well.In recent years, the survival of more than 175 fighting treatises from the Middle Ages and Renaissance has provided a whole generation of enthusiasts, scholars, reenactors and stage choreographers with a wealth of new information. This text represents the earliest known text on swordsmanship anywhere in the world. Royal Armouries MS I.33 presents a system of combat that is sophisticated and demonstrates the diffusion of fighting arts beyond the military classes. Within the manuscripts richly illustrated full-color illustrations lie still-potent demonstrates of sword techniques, surprisingly shown by a Priest and Scholar. Most surprisingly, however, is the presence of a woman practcing in the text, the only one illustrated in any European fighting treatise. This full color facsimile & translation has been long-awaited and promises to become an important resource for years to come.… (mer)

...The function of any edition is to make a text available to scholars. By that measure, a quick scan of the titles of papers given at the Kalamazoo Medieval Congress in the last few years shows that the edition is doing its job nicely. Papers have discussed such points as a correct reading of the illustrations (e.g., the buckler is occasionally shown edge-on with the boss changed into a prominent point, but the sword is always shown flat; it is extremely unlikely that the system recorded in I.33 never used an oblique cut), the function of the Walpurgis figure (not an allegorical figure, an Amazon, or St. Walpurgis) and the influence of I.33 on later Fechtbücher (considerable). I.33 presents so many challenges that one martial arts historian hypothesized that “the author was an indifferent and ineffectual swordsman.” [1] With a good edition of the manuscript now available to scholars this seems untenable, and alternative solutions are being put forward. The experience of military historians in interpreting medieval depictions of battle and combat scenes could well make a contribution here, and the study of Fechtbücher as a genre could help with the interpretation of those “earnest” illustrations.

The production quality of the edition may help persuade acquisitions librarians who might not be enthusiastic about medieval swordplay...
