The Codex Wallerstein is one of the most important manuscripts on medieval combat along with Talhoffer 1467 and Flos Duellatorum, though it has been little studied in the past. A manual in Middle High German detailing sword and combat techniques, it addresses various situations from robbing peasants and wrestling to armoured combat and judicial duels. The text lists different types of medieval weaponry and armour and the various ways in which to use them, shown in image plates and commentary. Zabinski and Walczak have attempted to synthesize this edition of the manuscript to be a reference to both scholars and practitioners alike. Foreword by John Clements.
