L'art de tirer des armes, réduit en abrégé méthodique

Book 1721 French France

P. J. F. Girard

B-block staging entry validated for model fit. Imported from staging batch duell-thimm-b, source entry 304. Retitled from museum heading mixed with work title.

French fencing treatise by J. de Brye. The inherited local record had been polluted by a museum-heading fragment and by the later 1731 witness; Gelli and the underlying Thimm line confirm Paris, 1721, C. L. Thiboust, as the primary edition, with a second edition appearing ten years later.

Castle also records the Paris 1721 J. de Brye witness.

Vigeant 1882 emphasizes the frontispiece, the Dauphin medallion signed Boudan, and the transitional place of de Brye between the older and modern French schools.
