Traite des armes, des machines de guerre, des feux d'artifice, des enseignes et des instrumens militaires anciens et modernes

Book 1678 French France

Louis de Gaya

G-block staging entry validated for model fit. Imported from staging batch duell-thimm-g, source entry 841. Retitled from long descriptive title.

Gelli explicitly notes that this is not a fencing treatise in the narrow sense, but preserves it as an important witness for the history of French fencing because of its weapon nomenclature, its armed guard figure, and its broader seventeenth-century military encyclopedic value.

A Paris, 1678, Sebastien Cramoisy, rue Saint-Jacques, a la Renommee. Gelli preserves the longer title line with the continuation on the present use of these arms in French and foreign armies, and remarks on the work's importance for fencing history despite its broader military scope.
