Talhoffer Fechtbuch (Cod.Ser.Nov.2978)

Manuscript German Germany

Hans Talhoffer

Canonical manuscript witness derived from Wiktenauer Manuscripts source row 57. Date range recorded by the source: 1500s. This witness is maintained as a separate work rather than treated as a duplicate title.

Quality phase 343: KdiH dates the former Vienna Cod. Ser. n. 2978 to the sixteenth century, possibly later, and localises it only to Germany. It was restituted to the Gutmann heirs in 2006 and is now in private ownership.
