| Hic scolaris instructus mediante consilio sacerdotis ducit actum quemdam qui nuncupatur durchtritt posset tamen recipisse plagam tam sinistram que ducitur ex parte dimicatorum generalium quam dexteram que consueuit duci ex parte sacerdotis & suorum iuuenium Contrarium illarum duarum viarum erit sacerdotis euntis cum gladio sub brachio* qui tunc attingit manus nudas ducentis plagas supradictas Licet contrarium istud non sit depictum in exemplum ymaginum Nota quod sacerdos defndit hic actum superius dictum quia cum scolaris vero esset in actu itineris sacerdos religando atque subpremendo gladium scolaris ligatum demonstrat vt hic patet per exemplum Preterea quid sacerdotem ex hijs facere contingat si diligenter inspexeris poteris edoceri & cetera | Here the scholar instructed by means of the priest’s counsel, conducts an action that is called durchtritt. However, he could seize a strike on the left, as conducted by the common fencer, or on the right, as usually conducted by the priest and his youths. The opposition to these two paths, the priest goes with the sword under the arm, he then reaches the bare hands of the one conducting the above- mentioned strikes, although this opposition is not depicted in the example image. Note that here the priest defends [against] the action mentioned above while the scholar was in the act. In this way, the priest rebinds, and even depressing the sword the scholar bound, as shown here by this example. Moreover you can be taught what the priest will do, if you inspect diligently, etc. |
