Bauman's Fight Book: A Medieval Manuscript from Castle Wallerstein

Bauman's Fight Book: A Medieval Manuscript from Castle Wallerstein is a scholarly translation of a German fechtbuch within the broader Liechtenauer longsword tradition, edited by Michael Chidester and translated by Jessica Finley, Christian Henry Tobler, and Dierk Hagedorn. This manuscript offers a distinct primary source within German historical martial arts, expanding beyond the more widely known works of Meyer and Talhoffer.

The translation team behind this edition represents some of the most respected scholars and practitioners currently working in German longsword research, bringing rigorous historical and technical analysis to a manuscript that has received comparatively little attention in English language scholarship until now.

An important addition for serious students of German longsword and the Liechtenauer tradition looking to expand their study beyond the most commonly available sources.
