Translation Help

Post by Hugh Knight » Sun May 01, 2011 9:25 pm

Hello,

I'm hoping someone on here can help me with a translation to let me know if I have it correct. This text comes from folio 15v of the Glasgow Fechtbuch:

"So vinst du an im schieß die plos"

Which I translate as:

"Thus you gain the opening at which to shoot [thrust]."

The original transcription I used suggested that the word "schieß" was actually "schier," however, I think that's a bit of scribal sloppiness because schieß makes more sense contextually to me. The original plate can be seen here:

Thank you for your help.
Regards,
Hugh Knight
