Thanks to the Meyer Frei Fechter Guild I was able to look at the Joachim Meyer Ms.Var. 82 Rostock in order to lend a helping hand in their researches of transcribing and translating the work of Joachim Meyer. In this book the lines, that Meyer described in his work were displayed in a diagram. I made a drawing of this diagram and transcribed and translated the explanation to it.  You will find the next pages of Meyer’s book here.
