Ergründung ritterlicher Kunst der Fechterey

Book 1516 German Germany

Andre Paurnfeindt

Created from the Wiktenauer Books staging import for early likely-missing works. Source row 6.

Castle also records the Vienna 1516 Paurnfeindt print with title-page arms and woodcut weapon series.

The Frankfurt am Main 1616 Gelli witness is retained as a later edition of the work first printed at Vienna in 1516.

Duplicate Thimm work 1700 and its evidence were consolidated here in enrichment phase 590.
