Some time before 1520, the section on pole weapons was copied into the [[Goliath (MS Germ.Quart.2020)|MS German Quarto 2020]] by an unknown scribe; based on the timeline and geography, it's possible that Paurñfeyndt was directly involved in this venture.

Ergrundung Ritterlicher Kunst der Fechterey ("Foundation of the Chivalric Art of Swordplay") is a German fencing manual by Andre Paurñfeyndt printed in 1516 in Vienna.[1] The text shows some connection to the tradition of Johannes Liechtenauer, but with significant unique material.

Sydney Anglo notes that Paurñfeyndt's is likely the earliest printed treatise on swordsmanship that includes illustrations.[2]

Publication History

Paurñfeyndt's Ergrundung Ritterlicher Kunst der Fechterey was first published in Vienna in 1516 by Hieronymus Vietor. In 1538, it was translated into Middle Walloon (a language related to French) and published by Willem Vorsterman in Antwerp,[3] where it was retitled La noble science des ioueurs d'espee. This translation omits all of Liechtenauer's verse, but retains the balance of the content and the original images. Sections of Paurñfeyndt's text were also reproduced in a 1530s book by Christian Egenolff entitled Der Altenn Fechter anfengliche kunst.

Some time before 1520, the section on pole weapons was copied into the MS German Quarto 2020 by an unknown scribe; based on the timeline and geography, it's possible that Paurñfeyndt was directly involved in this venture. In 1564, Lienhart Sollinger created a new manuscript copy of this text, which was later bound by Paulus Hector Mair into the Codex I.6.2º.2.
