New Künstliches Fechtbuch

Treatise 1612 German Germany

Jacob Sutor

S-block staging entry validated for model fit. Imported from staging batch duell-thimm-s, source entry 2078. Title normalized on August 6, 2026 from a long imported form. The title page supports using `New Künstliches Fechtbuch` as the concise bibliographic title, while the longer descriptive wording is preserved in notes.

Consolidated with former work #2939. Thimm describes the Stuttgart 1849 issue as a word- and image-faithful reprint of the Frankfurt 1612 original; both editions are retained.

Quality phase 161 (2026-08-15): duplicate work 3438 merged into this canonical work. The repeated Frankfurt 1612 manifestation was consolidated and the alleged Stuttgart 1810 manifestation was resolved as a false duplicate of the documented Scheible 1849 reprint.

False 1810 manifestation (former edition 3504) removed in quality phase 161 (2026-08-15): institutional catalogues and the Scheible publication history identify the Stuttgart reproduction as the existing 1849 edition. Preserved imported note: Stuttgart, 1810, prepared by J. Scheible. Gelli describes this as a reproduction of the 1612 Sutorius work, with 89 woodcut illustrations.
