The only member of the fellowship of Liechtenauer to offer an explanation of his long sword teachings, Ainring's treatise is part of the bedrock of HEMA today. Where previous books have focused on only one or two copies of his work, this new edition by Michael Chidester and Dierk Hagedorn incorporates all nine known manuscripts and allows us to fully appreciate the breadth of Ainring's teachings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIncluded is a new translation of Ainring's gloss on the unarmored sword and the spear and sword in armor, on horse and on foot, streamlined for easier reading and based on 20 years of advancement in our understanding of Liechtenauer's art; the translation of the long sword also includes illustrations from the Cluny Fechtbuch, the Glasgow Fechtbuch, and other sources for the first time. In addition, each copy of Ainring's text is transcribed and translated separately, arranged side-by-side so they can be easily compared. To round this off, it features introductory material about Johannes Liechtenauer, Sigmund Ainring, Hans Medel, and Albrecht of Bavaria, as well as a discussion of the gloss tradition and the structure of Liechtenauer's teachings and a codicological study of all nine manuscripts included in this book.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is the first major work on Ainring in almost 20 years and the only one you'll ever need.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sigmund Ainring,Michael Chidester,Dierk Hagedorn\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1953683479\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781953683472\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Hema Bookshelf\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/01\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 502\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 3.23lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.69h x 7.44w x 1.44d","brand":"Sigmund Ainring","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48454239551743,"sku":"9781953683472","price":119.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_794b4e8e-3112-4c2d-afb5-cefb8c7df8d7.jpg?v=1777305008","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/pieces-of-ringeck-sigmund-ainring-9781953683472","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
