Questions sur l'art en fait d'armes, ou de l'epee

Treatise 1701 French France

LABAT

L-block staging entry validated for model fit. Imported from staging batch duell-thimm-l, source entry 1175.

The standing local shell had drifted to 1735 through a concatenated import context, but both Gelli and external facsimile evidence place this Labat witness at Toulouse, 1701. The catalogue restores 1701 as the credible publication year.

Castle also records the Toulouse 1701 Labat witness.

Vigeant 1882 sees the 1701 Questions as fresh proof of Labat's technical mastery and pedagogical care, preserving the Toulouse Robert imprint, the dedication to the duc de Bourgogne, and the author-sale note near the Jacobins.

A Toulouse, 1701, chez M. G. Robert. Gelli confirms the witness and notes dedication, preface, and license; the former local 1735 date came from a polluted concatenation and has been corrected back to 1701.

Vigeant 1882, pp. 77-78: A Toulouse, chez M. G. Robert, 1701. Quarto with dedication to the duc de Bourgogne, sold by the author near the Jacobins; dedication, preface, and permission. Vigeant values the questionnaire form as proof of Labat's mastery and teaching care.
