The individual actions of attack and defence are illustrated in colour and described in the text, which is handwritten in the original and reproduced unchanged in print in this facsimile. The colour illustrations show the fighters in period-typical garments (Landsknechtsstil) or armour. Reprint of the Augsburg 1523 edition.
