Antonius Rast's Fechtbuch (Reichsstadt "Schätze" Nr. 82) is a German fencing manual based on the writings of Antonius Rast in the 1540s;[1] Rast's notes were acquired by Paulus Hector Mair after the master's death in 1549, and he produced a completed version around 1553. It currently rests in the Stadtarchiv Augsburg in Augsburg, Germany. The text redacts both the writings of certain masters in the tradition of Johannes Liechtenauer and the teachings of the so-called Augsburg Group. The Liechtenauer writings include a strange patchwork gloss of Liechtenauer's Recital that draws individual paragraphs from both branches of the pseudo-Peter von Danzig gloss, and then terminates with the final fourteen paragraphs of the gloss of Sigmund ain Ringeck. The Augsburg material, on the other hand, includes only select plays from the corpus but makes a number of clarifying changes to the older text.
Rast's original manuscript, upon which Mair based this work, is currently lost.

Note that while the manuscript carries a consistent foliation throughout the initial text, when the illustrated plays begin it switches to numbering the images. The Augsburg Archive disregards this numbering and instead numbers the folia according to standard practices, and this table and gallery do likewise.
