The following are translations of pages from Neu Kunstliches Fechtbuch dealing specifically with the longsword. The longsword section runs from page 2 to page 19. Sutor's fechtbuch draws heavily from Meyer and the miniscule longsword section is included as the book's first weapon for little apparent reason other than tradition. I translated this and include it for curiousity's sake. This fechtbuch signifies the waning role of the long sword, it is primarily a rapier and dusack treatise which borrows heavily from Meyer's much more impressive work.

Special thanks to the Freifechter for putting a modern text transcription online, and for their kind permission to make use of it here. This translation was based on that transcription.

An early version of this translation is also available for viewing in AEMMA's Knowledge Base.
