CGM 558#REDIRECTCgm 558 Cgm 558The Cgm 558 is a convolution of two 15th century manuscripts with a total of 176 folia, bound together in the 16th century. It is kept at the Bavarian library in Munich. The first manuscript contains two chronicles composed by one Otmar Gassow in 1462, one concerned with Zürich, the other with the Toggenburg (Switzerland) (see Old Zürich War), and a copy of the 13th century ''Schwabenspiegel'' law codex. ==Contents== *first part, by Otmar Gossow 1462, foll. 1–100. **1r–94v: ''Schwabenspiegel'' **94v–100r ''Landfried König Rudolf'', 1287 (biography of Rudolph I) *second part, in two 15th century hands, foll. 101–160. **scribe A, 101–124 ***101r–109v ''Chronik von Zürich'', Eberhard von Müllner (chronicle of Zürich) ***109v–113r ''Chronistische Notizen zur Schweizergeschichte'', 1385–1446, appendix to the Zürich chronicle) ***113r–124r Kleine Toggenburger Chronik, 1314 (Petite Chronique de Toggenburg) **scribe B (Hugo Wittenwiler), 125–150 ***125r–136v ''Fechtbuch'' (combat treatise) ***136r–141r ''Lehre von den Zeichen des Hirsches'' (on hunting the stag) ***141r–150r ''Beizbüchlein'' (hunting manual, incomplete) **scribe A, 151–160 ***151r-153r ''Planetenverse'' (astrological verses) ***153r-160r ''Monatsregimen, mit verworfenen Tagen'' (calendars) ==The Fechtbuch== The second part contains a short Fechtbuch on 12 pages, penned in Hand B, attributed on fol. 141r to ''per manus Hugonis dicti Wittenwiller'', together with an illegible date. The text's language is High Alemannic language, and it was probably written somewhere in the area of Zürich or St. Gallen (Wittenwil lies between Zürich and St. Gallen, in what is now the canton of Thurgau). The treatise consists of 122 short paragraphs, numbered by de Grenier (2004), treating the long sword (1–50), pole weapons (halberd, spear 51–55), combat on horseback with sword or spear (56–64), the baselard (65–80), dagger on foot and on horseback (81–85), knife (86–90), unarmed defense against an attack with a baselard, a dagger or a knife (91–98) and grappling (99–122). Paragraphs numbered 44 consists of three rhymed couplets, the last one reading :''Iunk man lern maister ler / hab got lib und frowen er'' :"Young man, learn masters' lore, love God and honour noble women" This is reminiscent of one of Johannes Liechtenauer's verses, c.f. :''Jung Ritter lere / got lip haben frawen io ere'' :"Young knight, learn to love god, and to honour noble women" The long sword terminology seems also loosely influenced by the German school of swordsmanship, but it has some terms that are not encountered elsewhere (''gassen how'', ''schlims how'' (two strikes), ''drig angel'' "triangle" (a stance or stepping action)). ==External links== *[http://ardamhe.free.fr/biblio/cgm558-transcription-ARDAMHE.pdf transcription] by Didier de Grenier (2004, pdf format) **[http://freywild.ch/cgm558/ html version] (freywild.ch, with glossary) History of Switzerland HEMA Manuscripts See other meanings of words starting from letter: CCA | CB | CD | CE | CF | CG | CH | CI | CJ | CK | CL | CM | CN | CO | CP | CR | CS | CT | CU | CW | CX | CY | CZ |Words begining with Cgm_558: CGM_558 Cgm_558
