Quality phase 650: duplicate work 3119 was consolidated into this canonical record. The Kelvingrove shelfmark identifies a surviving copy of the same Nancy 1610 printed treatise, not a separate manuscript work. Former title: Discours de la théorie de la pratique et de l’excellence des armes. Former author statement: André des Bordes. Former description: Imported from Wiktenauer Manuscripts batch 5 on 2026-07-17. Former historical notes: 0

Gelli files this 1610 Nancy fencing treatise under the spelling 'Desbardes'. The local record keeps the more secure André des Bordes / Desbordes attribution while preserving Gelli's heading as a bibliographic variant.

Quality phase 362: reclassified from German/Germany/manuscript logic to the French printed treatise issued at Nancy by Blaise André in 1610. The Kelvingrove shelfmark identifies a surviving copy, not a distinct unpublished manuscript.
