	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?
