Künnst zu fechten vonn dem Lienhartt Sollinger ("The Art of Fencing by Lienhartt Sollinger", Codex Guelf 38.21 August 2º) is a German fencing manual created in ca. 1588,[1] possibly by Lienhart Sollinger. The original currently rests in the holdings of the Herzog-August Bibliothek in Wolfenbüttel, Germany. This manuscript has two main parts. The bulk of the text (ff 1r - 114v) is an anthology of fencing treatises by masters including Sollinger and Jörg Wilhalm Hutter. The remaining 35 folia contain a family history of the Fuggers, possibly the rough draft for a more elaborate and polished work.
