Navicartum - the reference app for HEMAists. The historical treatice, newly edited as an app with all the luxuries of modern times, like for example bookmarks, notes and full text search, different font sizes and zoomable images. Work with the treatise without ruining it with dog-ears and side notes, and all of that nice and compact in your smartphone or tablet.
In the book "Thorough Descriptions of the Art of Fencing..." of Joachim Meyer (published in 1570) we find a comprehensive work on the renaissance time fencing with many weapons. More precisely on the sword, the dusack, the rapier, the dagger and the staff (the later contains staff, halberd and pike). This app is dedicated to the first part of Joachim Meyer's work, the sword.
Navicartum features not only a transcription and translation of the sword part of the fencing treatise including all images, but also a newly composed version of the book as a reference book. It contains among other things conceptual interpretations of all techniques and an improved referencing and description of all images. And all of this in combination with the merits of features of the modern times, like f.e. bookmarks, notes and a full text search feature.
All the techniques and concepts from Meyer’s Art of Combat, easily accessible and indexed. In truth, I find it easier to find the information that I’m seeking using this app, than in Meyer’s original work.
Great app for HEMA
