I had some time last week, so I made a translation of Bruchius 1671 Dutch Rapier fencing manual "Grondige Beschryvinge van de Edele ende Ridderlijcke SCHERM- ofte WAPEN-KONSTE".

Currently, this can be found here:

Soon I will make some minor (aesthetic) adjustments, but otherwise this will be it for a while.

Cheers/enjoy!

I have just started going through it. Thanks for making this available! I look forward to any refinements, etc. But this is terrific!

Cool

I found out that the definition of Gradueren could be translated just a little better, so I changed that and also immediately made the one word replacement that I wanted to make, so here's a new link:

I made a small correction to the part about Passades. No change in meaning occurred; it is mainly a cosmetic improvement.

New link:

I found out I had consistently, in one word, misread one of those f-like s's as an f; this has now been corrected in the document. The main change occurred in the section explaining Passades; other changes for instance in Lessons 46 and 61.

Changed the file as the layout on the final page was strange:

EDIT: Changed it again as while finally making a transcription, I found another instance of the above-mentioned reading error.

If it's just that the document does not display properly, you can still try the download link at the top left and get the PDF.
Though I also have strange fonts when reading that with adobe reader, but other readers display it fine. Maybe the reader from Google is confused about the fonts too?

Final update in a long time. I promise.

Finished the transcription; the above-mentioned f/s-error does not occur anymore now.

Do you have a link that points to a document containing the "many fine Copper Figures" that Bruchius speaks of in his introduction? I find it much easer to learn with images then with words alone.

Thanks
