Musashi's Book of Five Rings (Gorin-no-sho) is often referenced but many people do not know about Yagyu Munenori's Heihokaden, translated as The Life-Giving Sword.
Even less known is Chozan Shissai's Tengu-geijutsu-ron. I'm not sure if Chozan's Neko-no-Myojitsu was also translated but it's similar though a little more accessible.
Disclaimer: I've never read the translations so I can't comment on the quality but the content is interesting.
You might find 'The Life-Giving Sword' a bit interesting on an intellectual level then.
There's an interesting couple of pages at the back where there are plates and some poetic verses, just like how Talhoffer is set out.
