'''Michael Hundt''' was a [[century::17th century]] German [[fencing master]]. His inclusion of a griffon with a sword in his heraldry may indicate affiliation with the [[Veiterfechter]] fencing guild.
 +
 
 +
In 1611, he authored a treatise on the use of the [[rapier]] entitled ''[[Ein new Kůnstliches Fechtbuch im Rappier (Michael Hundt)|Ein new Kůnstliches Fechtbuch im Rappier]]'' ("A New Illustrated Fencing Manual on Rapier"). It was dedicated to Christian II, Elector of Saxony, though it's unknown if Hundt had any direct connection to the prince. This treatise was one of the sources drawn upon by [[Jakob Sutor von Baden]] for his own treatise of 1612, along with [[Joachim Meyer]]'s ''[[Gründtliche Beschreibung der Kunst des Fechtens (Joachim Meyer)|Gründtliche Beschreibung der Kunst des Fechtens]]''.

 +
<p>The one who draws steel and wishes to harm with steel,<br/>is said to be out of steel and truly be ferocious, <br/>Life of man must be protected by steel and certain technique, <br/>if you wish to thrust spearpoints into wild beasts. <br/>But since there is no fiercer enemy than man, <br/>and since man even supercedes the wild animals in ferocity, <br/>and either want to take lives with the steel, or dishonour, <br/>or steal our belongings,<br/>then the steel is for our help. With steel you pierce the villains, <br/>and thieves, and those who wish to do harm. <br/>Flee if you can, for it is wicked to injure. Strike down hard <br/>if you cannot escape, and kill. <br/>Manly virtue is shown openly with the steel, <br/>and men are refined by it.</p>
 +
 
 +
<p>Peace is born out of the steel, and with steel it is served, <br/>and through steel shines justice, and is kept alive. <br/>With steel comes fame, and the avenging steel grows fame. <br/>You who shun the steel, are you perhaps a woman? <br/>Then sit in the shade, and twirl the spindle <br/>among maidens, and refuse to call yourself a man. <br/>You on the other hand, having a heart in your chest, <br/>learn to be watchful to stretch out the steel in battle. <br/>With it you smite enemies hard, and often should even kill, <br/>to redeem your enemy's life. <br/>Read through what this book teaches, from it you learn<br/>to protect your life, and move nimbly, <br/>both if you want to fight for sport or in dire ernest, <br/>then you shall always be more experienced by this book.</p>

If your grace wants to do a dirty trick, it is in fencing or in brawling, in dagger and rappier alike, then use nothing more than these words, "I won't fight with the two of you, rather only with one" and when he wants to look around, he comes up short, and you can thrust him through and through, also hurt him in cutting, when he is not quite at the door, and is said rightly: "Offer your enemy the face, do not trust him too much," that is to say, a correct deception, in fencing or in brawling, you can also do it as a past time, when your grace has the pleasure in a challenge, however in dire need and in great misfortune these techniques are also good to use.

Concordance by Michael Chidester

Michael Hundt was a 17th century German fencing master. His inclusion of a griffon with a sword in his heraldry may indicate affiliation with the Veiterfechter fencing guild.

In 1611, he authored a treatise on the use of the rapier entitled Ein new Kůnstliches Fechtbuch im Rappier ("A New Illustrated Fencing Manual on Rapier"). It was dedicated to Christian II, Elector of Saxony, though it's unknown if Hundt had any direct connection to the prince. This treatise was one of the sources drawn upon by Jakob Sutor von Baden for his own treatise of 1612, along with Joachim Meyer's Gründtliche Beschreibung der Kunst des Fechtens.

Treatise

Hundt's treatise is written in both German and Latin, but at the moment only the German has been transcribed and translated.
