Leib-beschirmende und Feinden Trotz-bietende Fecht-Kunst

Treatise 1713 German Germany

Johann Andreas Schmidt

S-block staging entry validated for model fit. Imported from staging batch duell-thimm-s, source entry 1936.

Gelli and the parallel Hutton cluster present this Johann Andreas Schmidt family as a continuous editorial lineage from the large 1713 Nurnberg fencing book through related Nurnberg reissues or retitlings of 1749, 1750, 1760, and 1780.

Gelli cites a 1780 witness in the Johann Andreas Schmidt fencing family.

Castle also records the Nuremberg 1713 Johann Andreas Schmidt witness.
