Talk:Martial arts manual

message: It isn't correct that destreza treatises doesn't include explanations on the techniques, although, with exceptions, they use very few images and have a difficult terminology even for spanish speakers, together with mathematical demonstrations and philosophical musings (generally in separated chapters). I have added a list of some of the most relevant Portuguese and Spanish treatises. There are other tournament/jousting manuals, but I don't have the references at hand.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.127.200.126 (talk) 01:56, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  spanish and portuguese manuals 

message: "largely uninfluenced by Liechtenauer."
This is disputed by some.  I don't know myself either way, but does anyone feel strongly about putting a qualifier on this? Sethwoodworth 03:58, 15 February 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  uninfluenced 

message: This article uses a German title (while there is an English variant) and uses French and Italian translations in the article as well. Why did  revert my move to an English title?Rex 10:29, 24 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: because "Fechtbuch" is the term used in English. "Combat Manual" is just a literal translation, but nobody will know what you are talking about if you begin discussing "combat manuals".  An understandable English title would have to be something like "Late Medieval to Early Modern European Fencing and Combat Manual", or, for short, "Fechtbuch". dab (𒁳) 10:34, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

text: AFAIK, Sinterklaas isn't a part of the English languagfe, but simply a barbarism. Fencing manual I think is the way to go. (And to repeat one of my questions; this article also mentions the Italian and French names, why use the german one instead?) As for my usual prowl. I can't help it German speakers have this odd habit of putting in German terms (wether out of or within bars) in English texts, I mean, one translation or so will suffice, for the rest I believe they've gotten their own wiki.Rex 11:05, 26 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Revert of name change 

message: this article is the main article of its own category, which is in turn categorized in the relevant sub-categories; please avoid category-clutter by repeating these here. dab (𒁳) 15:38, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Only because you have just added those relevanty sub-categories, omitting Illuminated manuscripts, which I will restore here, since it is not appropriate for the whole category. There will probably soon be a new sub-category of category illuminated manuscripts for manuscript fightbooks. All manuscript examples (assuming they all have some illustration, which I imagine they do) should then be categorized in this.  Johnbod 16:03, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Category clutter

message: Since the category is most likely going to be renamed as Combat treatises, I wanted to see if editors here would support changing the main article title to reflect this change in categorization.-Andrew c 13:33, 26 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: It may seem illogical, but I don't have strong feelings either way. I have just created a redirect here for "Combat treatise" & will do the same for "Fightbook".  The singular form, with no diacritical, and a redirect in place, is ok I feel.  At the moment, though covering other nations, the article concentrates on German language works.

thread_title:  Possible move proposal 

message: The German word "fechten" means to 'combat with bladed melee weapons' (i.e. fencing with sword, saber, knife, rapier etc.), while a 'combat book' might include projectil weapon use, tactic manuals or an even broader approach to the "art of war". "historical fencing book" might be a better translation77.180.56.113 (talk) 09:24, 17 February 2012 (UTC)
