Nouveau traite de l'art des armes, dans lequel on etablit les principes certains de cet art, et ou l'on enseigne les moyens les plus simples de les mettre en pratique

Treatise 1778 French France

Nicolas Demeuse

E-block staging entry validated for model fit. Imported from staging batch duell-thimm-e, source entry 561.

Consolidated into a single Nicolas Demeuse work record so that the 1778 first edition and the 1786 second edition are carried as editions rather than as separate works. Thimm's entry for the plate suite and Gelli's fuller 1778 title are treated as witnesses to the same work family.

Gelli cites an undated new-edition witness in the Demeuse family.

Castle records the Demeuse family at Liège in 1778 and 1786, and a later Lille/Paris 1800 state with an appended dictionary of the art of arms.

Vigeant 1882 confirms the 1778 Liege first edition, the Graillet arms, the 14 plates, and the treatise's status as a modern demonstrator's work that earned three editions.

Vigeant 1882 adds the 1786 second edition without the arms of M. de Graillet and a third edition around 1800 at Lille, printed by Blocquel, with a fencing dictionary and a different plate suite.

Liege, 1778, chez Desoer et chez l'auteur derriere le Palais. Gelli describes the full first-edition treatise and notes 14 plates; Thimm separately indexed the plate suite, which is preserved here as corroborating witness evidence for the same 1778 publication.

Vigeant 1882, p. 50: Liege, 1778, chez Desoer, imprimeur sur le pont d Isle, and chez l auteur derriere le Palais. In-12 with the arms of M. de Graillet and 14 copper engravings outside the text, plus dedicatory epistle and introduction.
