Bellifortis

Manuscript 1405 Latin Germany

Konrad Kyeser

Created from the Wiktenauer Books staging import for early likely-missing works. Source row 86.

Quality phase 320 identity correction: Bellifortis is a manuscript work composed circa 1402–1405 and transmitted in numerous manuscript witnesses; it was not a printed monograph in 1512. The imported 1512 row is retained only as an unresolved source-list witness, probably reflecting confusion with the Erfurt Vegetius print whose image cycle reused Bellifortis material.

Quality phase 320 identity correction: this row no longer represents a verified printed edition. The source list supplies 1512 without shelfmark or codicological identity; specialist transmission catalogues document Bellifortis as a manuscript tradition, while the c.1512 Erfurt print is Vegetius, not Kyeser. City and extent are therefore unknown and imprint is not applicable.
