Legend to the illustrations in the print:
\"Fig. 63 (on the engraving) depicts a dagger whichDuke Rudolph of Swabia wore, when, in 1080, he at Merseburg, against KingHenry IV., which belongs, therefore, to the last halt of the eleventh century,if not still earlier. This dagger, the richly decorated gold hilt of whichdisplays a skill in carving remarkable for that age, gives evidence alsoof the perfection of the armorer\'s art at that period. In the thirteenthand fourteenth centuries, however, this art attained in Germany, but especiallyin Northern Italy, a very high degree of excellence; and we have admirablesuits of armor of that age, in which the inlaid work is principally arabesqueand leaf-work, or escutcheons. Here also we will follow the division ofweapons into those of offense and defense and describe them as they arerepresented in plates 15. The bow proper (figs. 1 and 2) held its reputelongest among the Scandinavians and Normans; in Germany it was almostentirely superseded as early as the twelfth century, by the crossbow, whichthe old balista suggested.\"
