Swords, Science, and Society: German Martial Arts in the Middle Ages | Jamie Acutt

3 posts | 1 read | 1 to read

Presented within this book is an investigation of the Company of Liechtenauer, tracing their connections and influences through archival records spanning more than a century. Scholarly Fencing is contrasted with what was referred to as ‘Common Fencing’. This book demonstrates the Aristotelian and Scholastic approach that defined the secret Art of Liechtenauer, and describes the science of sword-fighting in the 15th and 16th centuries.

Swords, Science, and Society: German Martial Arts in the Middle Ages | Jamie Acutt

Pick

This is a very academic look at the German swordsmanship tradition that comes down from Johannes Liechtenauer. It examines the connections of all the major players around Liechtenauer and their possible connections to him in society. It also examines the influence of the Aristotelian scholasticism, taught during this time, on Liechtenauer's infamous Zettel and the further commentaries made by his fellows and later masters. Highly recommend. #HEMA

Swords, Science, and Society: German Martial Arts in the Middle Ages | Jamie Acutt

Pulled something in my back yesterday and can't follow through with some of my physical sword practice today. So what do you do to occupy time when you can't move well? Read intellectual books on swords and fantastic fictional books with lots of swordplay!

Louise Have you read Isabel Allende‘s Zorro? There are some wonderful scenes of young Zorro‘s sword training in Spain.
