Talhoffer's writings exist in well over a dozen manuscripts created in the fifteenth through nineteenth centuries. His writings cover a wide assortment of weapons, including the arming sword, buckler, crossbow, dagger, flail, longknife, longshield, longsword, mace, poleaxe, spear, and unarmed grappling, often both armored and unarmored, on horse and on foot, and in scenarios including tournaments, formal duels, and unequal encounters implying urban self-defense.Hans Thalhofer 1459
