The manuscript is a pragmatic [[commonplace book]] apparently compiled for the scribe's personal use. It is an early example of such a compilation (if indeed it dates to before 1400),<!--things are becoming a bit circular, this very fact is the reason that some people prefer to date it to the 1410s if not 1420s--> and is as such notable as a document of the transition from oral to written tradition during the late medieval period. |

A substantial portion of the manuscript is a [[combat manual]], making it of particular notability for the study of [[Historical European Martial Arts]]. It is the earliest record of the [[German school of fencing]] in the tradition of [[Johannes Liechtenauer]]. Liechtenauer is here for the first time mentioned by name, and his teachings quoted. His tradition of martial arts, especially the fencing with the [[longsword]] would remain influential in Germany throughout the 15th and for much of the 16th century. |
