Gunterrodt's Sciomachia and Hoplomachia is a text of exceptional richness for the intellectual context of #fightbooks. It is also the translation of one of the few Latin texts in the corpus, as most fight books are written in vernacular (German in particular). #Neo-Latin Studies #HEMA

In 58 days (if I've counted correctly)... Many thanks to @cleliacrialesi.bsky.social and Aurélien Robert for organizing this beautiful conference on "Quantification in context". I am honoured (and impressed) to participate with a talk on #latemedieval and #earlymodern #fightbooks

Are there any medieval combat specialists out there who can talk to me about breath control?
