[QUOTE="Galloglaich, post: 5005829, member: 77019"] There are actually editions of several of these manuals in Latin. Some German but it's Middle-high German in older dialects so that can be a bit tricky. This is hands down still the best overview of HEMA, Sydney Anglos "Martial Arts of Renaissance Europe" [ame=http://www.amazon.com/Martial-Arts-Renaissance-Europe/dp/0300083521/ref=pd_sim_b_3]Amazon.com: The Martial Arts of Renaissance Europe (9780300083521): Professor Sydney Anglo: Books[/ame] Several interpretations and translations are available as books from Amazon etc., quality varies but the best translations are from Jeffrey Forgeng, IMO. Some examples of good translations: [ame=http://www.amazon.com/Art-Combat-German-Martial-Treatise/dp/1403970920/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1258916364&sr=8-1]Amazon.com: The Art of Combat: A German Martial Arts Treatise of 1570 (9781403970923): Joachim Meyer, Jeffrey L.
