Abstract


THE sword types of the Middle Ages proper are not numerous. They are assembled chiefly about two main types: the sword with the brazil-nutshaped pommel and the sword with the disc-or wheel pommel. In both main groups there are numerous variations olf the pommel forms, with a certain amount of typological sequence, intermediate forms and special forms.
