Publication Information
The first and only English edition of Pallas Armata was printed in London in 1639 by I. D. for Iohn Williams. However, the 1646 treatise Den Ridderlige og Adelige Fecht-Konstis ("The Chivalric and Noble Fencing Art") appears to be a Danish edition of the same work, though it is not an exact translation.
