Die Bajonettfechtkunst. Erster Theil

Treatise 1825 German Germany

Eduard von Selmnitz

S-block staging entry validated for model fit. Imported from staging batch duell-thimm-s, source entry 1966.

Gelli cites the Bajonettfechtkunst family under Eduard von Selmnitz with witnesses at Berlin and Dresden in 1825, Leipzig in 1831, and Berlin/Mittler in 1832, treating them as one title family.

Gelli also preserves the 1840 French translation by J. G. N. Merjay, printed in Paris and Brussels, so the Selmnitz family should include that translation state rather than keep a separate broken shell under Merjay.

FormatGr. 8°

Pages10 copper engravings; pagination unavailable

DimensionsNot specified

Confirmed by local Duell staging as the 1832 second edition, Berlin: Mittler, with 10 copperplates. Secondary later encyclopedic references sometimes cite the work more loosely or with variant place shorthand; the local bibliographic witness is treated as controlling here. Earlier states in the same title family include a Dresden 1825 issue and a Leipzig 1831 preface to the second edition.

Quality phase 167: ten copperplates reconfirmed from Thimm; pagination remains unresolved.

Quality phase 291: The Berlin 1832 second edition is manifestation-specifically confirmed with ten copperplates.

Quality phase 484: the consulted bibliographic witnesses confirm the exact copper-engraving count.

Paris / Bruxelles, 1840. French translation from the German by J. G. N. Merjay. Gelli notes the 1825 German original and the contemporaneous 1840 French issue, with folding plates outside the text.

Quality phase 101n: final residual place resolved from the manifestation-specific statement.

Duplicate edition 2845 consolidated in quality phase 120 (2026-08-15); canonical manifestation metadata retained after individual review.

Phase 120: French translation collation normalized from the Gelli/Thimm statement; plate count removed from the pagination field.

Quality phase 421: exact Brussels copy confirms J.-B. Petit, XXXIII + 174 pages and an errata leaf; Thimm’s bracketed [1840?] date remains approximate.
