The I.33 manuscript

http://freywild.ch/i33/i33en.html

"The I.33 manuscript (also called Walpurgis (cf. fol. 32) or Tower Fechtbuch; Tower of London manuscript I.33, Royal library Museum, British Museum No. 14 E iii, No. 20, D. vi., ink and water colour on parchment) is the oldest Fechtbuch preserved. It was created in Germany around 1290; it may therefore be considered as still dating from the age of the crusades. The technique presented is one of two unarmoured opponents fencing with a one-handed sword and a buckler."
