Translation Help
Posted: 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.
