The newest book in that trend is: _Codex Wallerstein_ translated by Zabinski and Walczak. It can be found here:

This book is a fascinating look into another school of MMA in the Lichtenaur tradition. An on-line version can be found here:
http://www.aemma.org/library_top.htm (click on the 15th century and then page down to the Codex). By itself this manual doesn't really seem to be a complete fighting system: for example, the basics of longsword use aren't included; you almost get the feeling you're reading "tips" for an already experienced swordsman. There are a lot of counters to techniques you find in other German fechtbucher. I haven't worked my way through most of the messer stuff yet, but, in contrast to the longsword section, the wrestling *does* seem to represent a reasonably complete system.

Interestingly, Codex seems to really include two books for the price of one. The first part, which the translators call "part A" is clearly late-15th century German, and includes unarmored longsword, messer, dagger and wrestling techniques with fairly extensive written commentary on each plate. The second part, called "part B", seems to come from the very late 14th century or the early 15th century, but lacks any written commentary; it's just drawings. This section contains armored combat with spear, shield, longsword and dagger, and unarmored combat with longsword. This is a *fascinating* but ultimately frustrating section because the plates are fairly difficult to interpret without text, but they represent one of the very earliest examples of harnischfechten I've ever found.

One of the neatest things in part A is the inclusion of one plate detailing how to rob a peasant (no, really, I'm not making this up!!) by holding your knife to his throat and pinching his skin between your thumb and the point of your knife to make him think you're cutting him. Fascinating!!

The book is very well done. It's a nice large format, and the plates are as clear as it's probably possible to make them. The layout is good, too, with each plate getting two pages, one for the text (with a modern German translation and an English translation), and the facing page showing the full plate itself.

The only downsides to the book I found were the fact that John Clements did the introduction and wrote about his standard mistake that edge-on-edge parrying wasn't done in period (although he avoids some of the other serious mistakes he's written about elsewhere), and the fact that the paper used in the printing isn't of the highest quality.

Also, there's very little interpretation supplied with the material: It's mostly a bald presentation of exactly what's in the Codex. I don't find this to be a bad thing at all, but the text and pictures are a bit difficult to understand unless you already have a very solid grounding in German MMAs. I would recommend studying Talhoffer and Ringeck pretty thoroughly before attempting to work from this manual.

I would heartily recommend this book to *anyone* interested in MMAs.
