Notes:
"... part of the Gladiatoria group, a series of several German manuscripts from the 15th century that share the same art style and cover the same material, and seems to have been written by the same scribe as the Vienna version. The Gladiatoria manuals are interesting texts in that they seem to be contemporary with the tradition of Johannes Liechtenauer, but not directly influenced by it."--Wiktenauer (an online resource of the Historical European Martial Arts Alliance; accessed 4/3/2013).

1r-5r Spear in armor from Gladiatoria -- 5v-29v Longsword in armor from Gladiatoria -- 30r-40v Dagger in armor from Gladiatoria -- 41r-43v Wrestling from Gladiatoria.
