L'art de l'escrime

Treatise 1885 French France

Michel Bettenfeld

B-block staging entry validated for model fit. Imported from staging batch duell-thimm-b, source entry 215.

French fencing manual by Michel Bettenfeld. Gelli's OCR line looked like 1888, but external bibliographic evidence confirms the original edition year 1885; the local record is normalized to that stronger witness.
