Der Altenn Fechter anfengliche Kunst ("The Ancient Fencer's Beginning Art") is a German fencing manual printed in the 16th century by Christian Egenolff. The text is largely a redaction of Andre Paurenfeyndt's earlier treatise Ergrundung Ritterlicher Kunst der Fechterey, but with significant unique material. Egenolff reset the text and hired noted Strasbourg artist Hans Weiditz to illustrate it.

Publication History
The first three printings of Der Altenn Fechter anfengliche Kunst are undated, but the first edition must have been printed between 1531, when Egenolff set up his shop in Frankfurt-am-Main, and Weiditz' death in 1537. The second and third editions were released some time before Egenolff's own death in 1555; a copy of the second edition that recently came up for auction was dated to ca. 1535,[1] but this date seems speculative. In 1558, Egenolff's heirs published a fourth edition posthumously.[2]
In the 1600s, a fairly faithful manuscript including portions of both this text and Albrecht Dürer's OPLODIDASKALIA sive Armorvm Tractandorvm Meditatio Alberti Dvreri was created by an unknown scribe (it has since been lost).
