Les Secrets de l’épée

Book 1862 French France

César Lecat de Bazancourt

B-block staging entry validated for model fit. Imported from staging batch duell-thimm-b, source entry 185.

French fencing work by the baron César de Bazancourt. The inherited local record drifted to the later 1876 reissue; Gelli and Thimm both preserve the Paris 1862 Amyot issue as the primary witness, with a 1876 later edition also noted.
