Fechtbuch eines ungenannten Studenten ("Fechtbuch by an Unnamed Student"; Codex Guelf 264.23 Extravagantes) is a German fencing manual created in 1657. The original currently rests in the holdings of the Herzog August Bibliothek in Wolfenbüttel, Germany. The anonymous author attended the Ritterakademie in Sorø, Denmark in or before 1657, and seems to have been a student of Hans Wilhelm Schöffer von Dietz.
This manuscript is very unusual in that it presents fencing teachings from the perspective of the student learning them rather than a master offering instruction.
