Talhoffer's professional fencing manual of 1467 illustrates the intricacies of the medieval art of fighting, covering both the 'judicial duel' (an officially sanctioned fight to resolve a legal dispute) and personal combat.
Talhoffer reveals the techniques for wrestling, unarmored fighting with the long sword, pole-axe, dagger, sword and buckler, and mounted combat.
It is composed mainly of fl and white reproductions of the original fifteenth century coloured illustrations depicting several armed and unarmed fighting techniques; each of which is accompanied by a translation of the original succinct commentary on the technique by the author.

Talhoffer's work has only previously been available in a nineteenth-century German trans-lation of the original medieval Swabian, and, more recently, an updated German edition.
The original manuscript was not intended for public education, and is not organized in a step-by-step pedagogy intended to explain a method of fighting to readers who are otherwise unacquainted with the milieu of the fifteenth-century Swabian nobleman.
Talhoffer's actual fighting technique covers multiple forms of mayhem, including longsword, poleax, sword and buckler, and various types of judicial duel.

Hans was filing away the same information about John as they stalked one another up and down the strip with feints, lunges, and retreats.
Hans made what John felt sure was a feint to the left as though he would come under John's foil for a touch on the opposite side.
Hans was hundredths of a second late with his parry, allowing John a solid touch on Hans's right abdomen before Hans's blade briefly slid against John's.

Rector's book is the first English translation of Hans Talhoffer's "fechtbuch", or "fight-book," a compendium of the knightly arts of mayhem as practiced circa 1467.
Arguably the most famous of medieval manuals of arms, Talhoffer's manuscript is part of a long Germanic martial tradition that began in the fourteenth century and continued intact well into modern times.
The techniques contained therein are as effective today as they were over half a millennium ago, and the depth of knowledge and technique contained therein will surprise anyone who is used to the idea of medieval warriors being crude, muscle-bound ignorants who bashed their way through battle with more trust in muscle than in skill.

Even Talhoffer’s combatants with the two-handed sword seem to be handling their great swords oblivious to potential injuries — grabbing and swinging their weapons by the blade without as much as a glove on!
And Talhoffer’s training of Count von Königsegg for a wager at battle resulted in the killing of his client’s opponent.
But it is the framework of rules understood, observed, and enforced by he combatants that provided both wrestling and fencing systems with the space to develop their wealth of techniques and applications.

In 1467, Hans Talhoffer wrote his Fechtbuch giving illustrated instructions on how duels with a great variety of weapons should be fought.
Apparently, they were most common between husband and wife (because otherwise she would have less trouble finding a champion?) Talhoffer presents his isntructions without special comment, and his advice applies to both combatants.
Since Talhoffer includes advice for her on how to fight, one assumes he considered the possibility of having women as part of the potential audience for his book.
