I've copied down with great interest the references I've seen you list so far, and wondered if you know of any other pre-1500 manuals that would be useful for studying period styles of combat, and how they might be available. Are there reproductions, translations, commentaries, etc. that could be found through interlibrary loan or from a publisher? I'm especially interested in the Sword and Buckler manuscript from the Royal Library. I've seen plates from it show up in the occaisional armor book, and would love to see the whole set of illustrations. Also, are there any medieval techniques you've come across in the manuals that might lend themselves to SCA combat without horrifying the marshals?
