Neues künstliches Fechtbuch — German translation

Book 1611 German Germany

Girolamo Cavalcabò

C-block staging entry validated for model fit. Imported from staging batch duell-thimm-c, source entry 395.

Gelli cites the 1612 Jena German translation by Conrad von Einsidell from the Villamont French intermediary and describes it as a very rare edition with six copperplates.

Castle also records the 1612 Jena German Cavalcabo translation by Conrad von Einsidell.

Vigeant 1882 confirms the Einsidell / Cavalcabo translation chain through Villamont and the six copperplates outside the text.

Jena, 1612. German translation by Conrad von Einsidell via the Villamont French intermediary. Gelli notes six copperplates and calls the edition very rare.

Vigeant 1882, p. 53: oblong 4to with frontispiece framing the title and six copperplates outside the text; dedicated to princes and dukes of Germany.

Quality phase 286: The exact Jena 1612 manifestation and its six out-of-text copperplates are independently described in Castle’s digitized bibliography and agree with the retained Vigeant/Gelli statements.

Quality phase 311 imprint reconciliation: the exact structured K10plus record was inspected. It does not establish a named publisher or printer for this manifestation, so imprint remains needs_source.
