Johann Georg Pascha (Pasch, Pasche, Paschen, Passchen; 1628-1678) was a 17th century German fencing master and one of the most prolific authors on fencing of his time. He wrote at least fourteen books on military subjects including grappling, fencing with the pike, rapier, staff, and spear, musketry, cutting, and various gymnastic exercises.

The following is a list of Pascha's known works:[1]

  2. “alsdenn ziehen sich die Adern biss ins Haupt.” Eli Steenput translated this sentence by « the goat bit him in the veins of the head », confusing ‘ziehen’ and ‘ziegen’, maybe because of a mistake in the 1666 version. Neither the text nor the illustration indicates a headbutt, as he suggests.
  3. The literal text indicates « so that your hip comes to your stomach », but it is likely that there is a confusion between ‘deine’ and ‘seine’.
  4. 4.0 4.1 The original order of the plays has been conserved here, but it is very likely that lessons 17 and 18 of the 7th part were mistakenly inverted.
