| Nota quod multi generales dimicatores seducuntur ista obsessione hic posita qui credunt fieri posse separacionem scuti & gladij mediante plaga illa que ducitur hic quod secus est quare obsessor non facit moram aliquam per quam possit periclitari sed illa hic ducta depicta est in exemplum omnibus volentibus vti consilio sacerdotis Hic vero cum sacerdos esset in actu ducendi plagam superiorem docet scolarem vertere scutum & gladium intrando cum gladio vt hic quod is existens adversarius plagam ducere nequiuit ad effectum | Note that many common fencers are seduced by this siege placed here. They believe it is possible to separate the shield and sword by means of the strike conducted here. It is therefore otherwise, because the besieger does not delay, through which may endanger him, but this here is depicted for all that wish to use the counsel of the priest. Here when the priest is in the act of conducting the strike above, he teaches the scholar to turn the shield and sword and to enter with the sword as here, so that the existing strike conducted by the adversary is unable to effect. |
