Here are some assorted images from the 1480 manuscript "Hausbuch Wolfegg" that I found interesting. Some fencing practice,
federschwerts, war camps and more. A lovely manuscript.
Sorry for the huge images, but there are so many interesting details that I didn't wan't to resize them. Instead set your
browser to 50% zoom. However, there seems to be a bug in IE that hides the first image if you do so...
And finally an image of the Castle of Wolfegg from 1628.

Re: Hausbuch Wolfegg
I thought so too. I also like the first heerzug image. Not to mention the acrobats and fencers in a couple of images.
Lots of interesting details...
