Ah, blast from the past this is. To give an update on the state of the
Mair article, we now have translations of at least the Dresden portions of the following:
- Longsword (Keith Myers)
- Dussack (Keith Myers)
- Short Staff (Keith Myers)
- Halberd (Keith Myers)
- Flail (Jason Taylor)
- Peasant staff (Reinier van Noort)
- Sickle (Reinier van Noort and Saskia Roselaar)
- Grappling (Per Magnus Haaland)
- Dagger (Kendra Brown, Rebecca Garber, Mark Millman, Jon Reynolds, and Amy West)
- Side Sword w/ & w/o Buckler (Keith Myers)
We're still missing:
- Long Staff
- Scythe (though I recently received word that someone would have it finished soon)
- Mixed weapons I & II
- Poleaxe
- Armored mixed weapons
- Armored longsword
- Mounted
We have Pierre-Henry's excellent transcription of the unarmored portions of the Dresden (as well as additional bits by Jan Gosewinkel, Oliver Janseps, and Bart Walczak). We're still hurting for transcription of much of the Vienna and Munich, however.
On another note, the sword and buckler content was discussed earlier in this thread, and quite a bit of analysis has been done on that in the past few years. It now seems extremely unlikely that they were sourced from I.33 as quire analysis reveals the likely positions of the lost pages, and while they are sufficient to account for the 30 plays in Mair, they do not fit the probable contents that those missing leaves possessed. However, Dr. Forgeng now suspects that the I.33 was based on or inspired by another manuscript which he is currently searching for, and if he's right we may find answers there. For the present, I've grouped the images here:
