the starhemburg, glasgow, and goliath fechtbuchs are some of the most studied in all of hema idk why they are on this list. Also peter von danzig zum ingolstadt did not write the longsword gloss in either the starhemburg or goliath fechtbuch, they not attributed to anybody. On wiktenauer you'll notice that it says the gloss is by *pseudo* peter von danzig, PvD was originally though to have been the author of the blossfechten gloss in the 90's-2000's, however in the starhemburg fencing book only a kamppfechten (ie armored fencing) gloss is attributed to him, but the name stuck so people started saying it's by pseudo peter von danzig as a shorthand to mean its not really by him but a lot of people associate it with his name.
Nice! I love more attention to often forgotten manuals! I’m happy to see Jörg Wilhalm getting some attention too! His stuff is also largely the fundament for Paulus Hector Mair’s longsword section, who has a more didactical approach in his plays, so its really neat to put them both next to eachother to deepen the understanding of both!
I think throwing in something from the Bolognese tradition (Marozzo is IMO the most accessible) is probably a good idea - although it can be pretty intimidating task, much like Fiore, there is a lot of weapons. You could argue Bolognese tradition isn't that obscure, but I don't think Vadi is either?
What a great video! I am surprised that it has not as many likes yet

Awesome info! Will definitely be taking a look at a few of these.
All the links in the description are "blank".
Thanks for letting me know. They should all be fixed now :)
Ledall is one of the most difficult ones to understand, and there's a lot of controversy regarding the techniques.
What is a rake?
I MISSED YOU!

Vadi is more obscure, than bolognese as a whole, and on par or less obscure, than bolognese inspired longsword, IMO.
Content is all nice
But I hope you don't butcher opponents like you butcher German names 😂
