The Starhemberg Fechtbuch (Cod. 44.A.8; sometimes called Peter von Danzig's Fechtbuch) is a German fencing manual created in 1452,[1] possibly by the scribe Hans Rott.[2] The original currently rests in the holdings of the Biblioteca dell’Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei e Corsiniana in Rome, Italy. This manuscript is sometimes attributed to Peter von Danzig zum Ingolstadt,[3] but in fact the text only cites him as author of the final section.
While the first two thirds of the manuscript contain an anonymous gloss of Liechtenauer's Recital, the latter third consists of the known writings of Andre Lignitzer, Martin Huntsfeld, Ott Jud, and Peter von Danzig; if the anonymous glosses were written by Sigmund ain Ringeck (which would explain the reference to Ringeck's student Albrecht in the Twerhaw section), then it would be the only known manuscript whose contents were entirely written by members of the Fellowship of Liechtenauer. The fact that it includes largely-complete versions of the treatises of the named masters and is one of only a few manuscripts that correctly attribute the writings of Lignitzer and Huntsfeld makes it an important artifact in the early history of the Liechtenauer tradition.
