I know about the ARMA website (of which most manuals are for members only. I am not a member) and I've found another good collection here:
http://www.umass.edu/renaissance/lord/
But I was wondering if anyone knew of more. I'm especially interested in complete scans that have not been modified. Transcripts and translations on separate pages are equally wanted, just as long as the originals are not tampered with.
This mostly interests me on the historical level but since it's technically combat-related I figured I'd toss a line out here. If anyone else might be interested, I'll update with sources as I find them. If anyone knows of more, please feel free to do the same. Thank you.

It piqued my interest and I went on to find two wiki based encyclopaedia portals, it's a list of articles but most have either a link to pdfs or plates in the references:

scrimipedia (in Italian)
The sort of thing you were looking for?
Do you know of anywhere I find detailed illustrations of defensive architecture from this period? That's what I was searching for when I came across that version of De arte athletica. I'm reading Tristram Shandy at the moment; it keeps mentioning ravelins, curtins, bastions, half-moons, epaulments, demi-bastions, gabions, palisadoes etc and I'm struggling to picture it all in my head.
Individual scans are on the website you linked to here, and there's a PDF on the ARMA website with transcription/translation notes here. That's really all I'm aware of though. I'll let you know if I come across any others.
Edit - Actually, it seems that section in the Talhoffer manual is based off of another manual called "Bellifortis" by Konrad Kyeser which should have even more illustrations if I can find a scan. This also seems to have some illustrations of various things in it.
It's also worth noting that a lot of times they use words differently or spelled differently than we do, even when the article has supposedly been translated. "Palisadoes" is probably talking about simple palisades.
I can't find the damn thing in PDF format though, it's simply called "Medieval Hand-to-Hand Combat" by Keith Myers. It has gotten quite a bit of praise from legitimate practitioners from the reputed revival schools out there. I sort of gave up on it but it's likely out there somewhere and I might see if I can stumble into it again. It was supposed to be released for free at some it seems now that links to get it are dead. Worst case scenario, an email to the author might turn up something positive.
As to the book Medieval Hand-to-Hand combat, I have it on my hard drive, it is indeed the best modern resource I know of on Kampfringen and medieval combat grappling in general, since it was distributed freely I would have no problem sending you a copy, if someone could explain how it would be best to go about that.

Also, thank you for the additional resources. Should keep the reading material rolling for awhile.
As for wanting more like it, I've really been hoping for an eventual release of Mounted Combat: A Guide for Training Horse and Rider by Richard Alvarez. That would be one of those things I've got no problem instantly dropping money on. Although it's entirely impractical in today's world, I think mounted combat is a very clouded subject for all martial arts really because not only is there really no way to use the skill except in spectator sport jousting, but most people simply don't have a horse, saddle, much less the land required to practice on with a quintain. All the more reason to keep it alive somehow IMO, before it falls completely into myth and speculation.
This was a great read on the matter: http://www.classicalfencing.com/articles/shock.php As an aside, there's some "reality show" about to pop up on the National Geographic Channel about jousting called Knights of Mayhem, but it's probably going to reek of canned drama and not really delving into the history of it, names, historical battles in where it was used, etc.
I would really like to see more English language material on early Savate whether reprints or modern works. I would also like to see a book doing an evolutionary analysis of pugilism.
