FECHT 1 (was MS Ⅰ.33)

The MS Ⅰ.33 (recently re-cataloged as FECHT 1) is a German fencing manual dating to the 1320s.
It currently rests in the holdings of the Royal Armouries at Leeds, United Kingdom.
It contains oldest extant treatise on Medieval martial arts, Liber de Arte Dimicatoria, and it appears to have been devised by a secular priest, possibly the "Lutegerus" (Ludger) mentioned in the text.

It was the work of three scribes and potentially as many as 17 illustrators.
The manuscript in its present form consists of five quires, of which all but the first are incomplete; at least eight leaves are believed to be missing (assuming it started with complete quires of four bifolia each).
