[QUOTE="Galloglaich, post: 5068744, member: 77019"] Did you know Cool Book rhymes with Adventure Hook? The first fechtbook in the Lichtenauer Tradition, MS 3227a, is known for it's verses from Lichteneauer, but it also includes sections on Magic spells, potions, fireworks, alchemy, asrology, and dental heigeine, plus knife fighting, staff fighting, messer fighting, and sword fighting. Talk about a cool book! I think this provides an interesting insight into Medieval life in Central Europe, a much more interesting life than you might otherwise think. From the wiki: [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3227a"]Nürnberger Handschrift GNM 3227a - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia[/URL] The codex [B]Nürnberger Handschrift GNM 3227a[/B] (169 folia) is a manuscript dating from around 1389, preserved today in the [I]Germanisches Nationalmuseum[/I] in Nuermburg(Nürnberg).

It contains recipes for a wide range of purposes as well as treatises on martial arts Most notably, it is the earliest manuscript dealing with the art of fencing with the long sword of Johannes Lichtenauer which remained predominant in the German School of Swordsmanship for two centuries to come.
