- The typological debates around Le Jeu de la Hache (BnF MS Français 1996) and their stakes for HEMA practice Anne-Caroline Le Coultre Historia survey Pollaxe typology practice simulator Le Jeu de la Hache displays a fighting-system with the pollaxe in armour, but the weapon is never described with precision, which leads to debates regarding its typology – cutting edge or hammer/raven’s beak? Through a semi-quantitative survey, we tried to offer an overview of current HEMA practice around this specific source, with special emphasis on the typological question. Despite the rather narrow scope of the inquiry, some trends emerge. Besides the various choices regarding terminology and sources, we can underline the variety of materials used for the simulators: rubber components («hammer» typology) are leading, but wood and metal are also used, for both typologies. Advantages and disadvantages of each rely on the articulation of safety and realism dimensions, and the dangerousness inherent to this kind of weapon is largely highlighted. Even if most respondents declare not to be familiar with the typological debates amongst historians, it was usually mentioned to them during their practice. Only a minority has taken part in experiments in order to bring some elements of answer, but seldom in a systematic way. Therefore, a praxeological experimental approach could bring up new data, but is not devoid of difficulties, for instance the necessity of wearing armour. 2017 artículo científico 2064-0404 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=663972475006 10.1515/apd-2017-0010 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=6639 Acta Periodica Duellatorum application/pdf Universität Bern Acta Periodica Duellatorum (Suiza) Num.2 Vol.5
