Kunst des Messerfechtens ("The Art of Messer Fencing", Cgm 582) is a German fencing manual completed by Johannes Lecküchner on 19 January 1482 and dedicated to Philip "the Upright" of Wittelsbach, Elector Palatine of the Rhine.[1] The original currently rests in the holdings of the Bayerische Staatsbibliothek in Munich, Germany. This manuscript is based on Lecküchner's earlier 1478 work contained in the manuscript Cod.Pal.Germ. 430, but unlike the CPG 430, the Cgm 582 is fully illustrated; it also seems to have a significant amount of new and expanded content.
