Den Ridderlige oc Adelige Fecht-Konstis ("The Chivalric and Noble Art of Fencing") is a Danish fencing manual written by a certain G. A.[1] and printed in 1646. It covers the use of the rapier in the style of Salvator Fabris, as the author learned it from German fencing master Hans Wilhelm Schöffer von Dietz.

Publication Information

The first and only edition of Den Ridderlige oc Adelige Fecht-Konstis was printed in Copenhagen in 1646 by Melchior Martzan. However, it seems to be a new edition of a 1639 English treatise titled Pallas Armata, the Gentlemans Armorie (or possibly just paraphrase translation), also written by G. A.
