L'exercice des armes ou le maniement du fleuret. Pour ayder la mémoire de ceux qui sont amateurs de cet état

Book 1676 French France

Jean-Baptiste Le Perche du Coudray

P-block staging entry validated for model fit. Imported from staging batch duell-thimm-p, source entry 1638.

Gelli confirms that the stronger witness for this family is the 1676 Paris edition associated with N. Bonnart, while also preserving a reprint around 1750 chez la veuve Chereau with five additional plates. The record should therefore begin in 1676 rather than 1750.

Castle also records the Paris 1676 Le Perche witness and a 1750 same-family reissue with five additional plates.

Castle also transmits an uncertain earlier association around Paris 1635 (question-marked in the printed line) before the clearly attested 1676 Le Perche state; the catalogue preserves that earlier date only as a secondary bibliographic note and keeps 1676 as the reliable starting witness.
