Fechtbuoch. Die Ritterliche, Mannliche Kunst und Handarbeyt Fechtens und Kempfens

Treatise 1531 German Germany

Anonymous work

Frankfurt edition family from circa 1531 to 1558, appearing under anfengliche, gründtliche and Ritterliche Männliche Kunst title forms. Modern manuscript scholarship notes that the traditional Hans Lebkommer/Lecküchner attribution is corrupt and that the prints have no direct textual or iconographic relation to Lecküchner's authentic Messer treatise.

Bodemer describes 96 pages and 41 woodcuts; the page-count disagreement is retained in this note instead of silently converting the 94 scans into 96 bibliographic pages.
