Hans Czynner. "Über die Fechtkunst und den Ringkampf",1538
Graz, Universitätsbibliothek - Ms.963
The Hans Czynner manuscript which is indirectly influenced by the earlier work of Liechtenauer with respect to longsword techniques, is comprised of 170 illustrated pages that includes illustrations of armoured longsword techniques. In addition, the ringen or grappling style in keeping with the tradition of Meister Ott's emphasis on ringen is evident in the illustrations in Czynner's manuscript with respect to close-quarters combat. The most notable attributes are the emphasis on the attack to the leg in terms of lifts and throws - a clear indication of Meister Ott's ringen influence.
