Treatise 1579 Latin

Henricus a Gunterrodt

G-block staging entry validated for model fit. Imported from staging batch duell-thimm-g, source entry 945. Title normalized on August 6, 2026 from compressed import text and title-page evidence. The catalog form `De Veris Principiis Artis Dimicatoriae` restores spacing and modernizes the ligatured ending used in some witnesses. Author statement reviewed on August 6, 2026 against Wiktenauer, which uses the vernacular form `Heinrich von Gunterrodt`. The title page itself presents the Latinized form `Henrici a Gunterodt` / `Henricus a Gunterrodt`, which remains relevant as imprint evidence.

Gelli cites the Jena 1579 Gunterrodt edition, reinforcing the normalized Latin witness.

Castle also records the Wittenberg 1579 Gunterrodt witness.

Vigeant 1882 preserves the 1579 Wittemberg witness of Gunterrodt's Latin fencing treatise and notes that some authors instead report Venice as the place of printing.
