Source pages: 333. Bracketed notes: ["d'Anvers"] The engraved title bears 1628; printing at Leiden in Elzevier types was completed in August 1630.

Quality phase 296: The 1628-dated title belongs to the work completed in 1630; institutional and specialist descriptions confirm the forty-six-plate fencing programme. Sources: https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/591832 ; https://ilab.org/assets/catalogues/catalogs_files_CATALOGUE%2028%20planches.pdf

Quality phase 316: the Universitat de Barcelona copy is described as Leiden, Officina Elzeviriana, August 1630, in two parts: [222] pages with preliminary and plate leaves, and [54] pages with thirteen double plate leaves. The existing plate fields retain the fuller 46-plate programme.

Brussels, 1668. Gelli records this as the second edition of the Thibault work. Reported as Brussels, 1668, by Thimm; no known copy is independently attested and the edition may be spurious. The reported Brussels 1668 edition remains unverified.

Quality phase 422: specialist publication history confirms that the reported Brussels 1668 issue remains unattested and possibly spurious; blank manifestation fields are deliberately retained.

Quality phase 459: classified as a duplicate, modern misdating, or editorial reference cluster rather than a historical manifestation.
