'''''Academie de l'Espée''''' ("Academy of the Sword") is a [[nationality::Dutch]] [[fencing manual]] written by [[Gérard Thibault d'Anvers]] and initially printed in 1630. Arguably the most elaborate fencing manual ever written, it was the work of several years and its lavish illustrations were prepared by a team of sixteen master engravers. Thibault's work treats the use of the [[rapier]] after the Spanish style [[La Verdadera Destreza]] ("the True Skill") and is well-known for its use of intricate geometrical figures (especially the ''cercle mysterieux'', or "mysterious circle").

The title page of ''Academie de l'Espée'' indicates that it was completed in 1628, but it wasn't printed until 1630 (a year after Thibault's death) in Leiden, Netherlands. A second edition was printed forty years later in Brussels, Belgium in 1668.

''Academie de l'Espée'' was printed in Leiden in the Elzevier workshop. Its title page was initially dated 1626, but most copies were later changed to 1628 (by hand); printing seems to have continued through at least 1630, when a note announcing Thibault's death in 1629 began to be appended to the book. A second edition was printed in Brussels in 1668.

The title of this article contains the character é. Where it is unavailable or not desired, the name may be represented as Academie de l'Espee (Girard Thibault d'Anvers).

Academie de l'Espée ("Academy of the Sword") is a Dutch fencing manual written by Girard Thibault d'Anvers and initially printed in 1630. Arguably the most elaborate fencing manual ever written, it was the work of several years and its lavish illustrations were prepared by a team of sixteen master engravers. Thibault's work treats the use of the rapier after the Spanish style La Verdadera Destreza ("the True Skill") and is well-known for its use of intricate geometrical figures (especially the cercle mysterieux, or "mysterious circle").

Publication History

Academie de l'Espée was printed in Leiden in the Elzevier workshop. Its title page was initially dated 1626, but most copies were later changed to 1628 (by hand); printing seems to have continued through at least 1630, when a note announcing Thibault's death in 1629 began to be appended to the book. A second edition was printed in Brussels in 1668.
