Grundtliche und eigentliche Beschreibung der freyen Adelichen und Ritterlichen Fechtkunst im einfachen Rappir und im Rappir und Dolch

Book 1620 German Germany

Hans Wilhelm Schoffer von Dietz

Created from the Wiktenauer Books staging import for likely-missing seventeenth-century works. Source row 52.

Gelli cites the Marpurg, 1620, Johann Saura printing with 670 copper engravings and explicitly treats it as a reworking of Fabris 1606.

Castle also records the 1620 Marburg Schöffer witness with 670 copper engravings.

Vigeant 1882 characterizes Schöffer's work as an enlarged pastiche of Fabris and repeats the spectacular count of 670 engraved figures in the text.
