Michael Hundt was a 17th century German fencing master. His inclusion of a griffon with a sword is arms may indicate affiliation with the Veiterfechter fencing guild.

In 1611, he authored a treatise on the use of the rapier entitled Ein new Kůnstliches Fechtbuch im Rappier ("A New Art-Filled Fencing Manual on Rapier"); this, along with Gründtliche Beschreibung der Kunst des Fechtens by Joachim Meyer, was one of the sources drawn upon by Jakob Sutor von Baden for his own treatise of 1612.

Treatise

Hundt's treatise is written in both German and Latin, but at the moment only the German has been transcribed and translated.
