'''Andre Paurenfeyndt''' (Paurñfeyndt, Paurñfeindt) was a 16th century [[German]] [[Freifechter]]. He seems to have been a resident of Vienna, although he mentions in his introduction that he served as a bodyguard to Cardinal Matthäus Lang von Wellenburg (1468 - 1540). In 1516, he wrote and published a [[fencing manual]] entitled ''[[Ergrundung Ritterlicher Kunst der Fechterey (Andre Paurenfeyndt)|Ergrundung Ritterlicher Kunst der Fechterey]]'' ("Founding of the Chivalric Art of Swordplay"), which [[Sydney Anglo]] notes may have been the first illustrated fencing treatise ever published. Little else is known about the life of this master, but he describes himself as a Freifechter and the contents of his book make it clear that he was associated with the tradition of [[Johannes Liechtenauer]]. His treatise diverges significantly from the earlier teachings of the Liechtenauer tradition, which may be due to his stated purpose of writing for beginning fencers.
'''Jörg Wilhalm Hutter''' was a 16th century [[German]] [[fencing master]]. In addition to his fencing practice, his surname signifies that he was a hatter by trade, a fact that is confirmed in the tax records of Augsburg, Germany in 1501, 1504, and 1516.
 
 
 
Four works are commonly attributed to Hutter: on unarmored [[longsword]] fencing in the tradition of [[Johannes Liechtenauer]], on [[armored fencing|armored]] and [[mounted fencing|mounted dueling]] that appear to be based on those of the early 15th century (relying on armor designs that were obsolete by the 1520s), and a series of 32 uncaptioned illustrations portraying scenes of judicial combat. However, it is unclear if Hutter authored all of these works or, like [[Lienhart Sollinger]] and [[Paulus Hector Mair]] after him, merely compiled existing works together and placed his name on them as an owner's mark. The development of the armored dueling treatises can be traced through a draftbook and rough early annotated copy, but the same is not true of the unarmored longsword, which appears to be based on the [[Cluny Fechtbuch (Cl. 23842)|MS Cl. 23842]] from the 1490s and is accompanied by a version of the [[pseudo-Peter von Danzig]] gloss that [[Gregor Erhart]] attributes to one Nicolaüs and dates to 1489.
 
 
 
There are three extant manuscripts of Hutter's treatises created between 1522 and 1523, all now residing in Augsburg (along with most of the rest of Paulus Hector Mair's collection). The apparent oldest of Hutter's manuscripts, [[Jörg Wilhalm Hutters kunst zu Augspurg (Cod.I.6.4º.5)|Cod.I.6.4º.5]], consists of numbered but uncaptioned illustrations of armored dueling on horse and on foot, and is dated to 1522. The same year saw the completion of the [[Jörg Wilhalm Hutters kunst zu Augspurg (Cod.I.6.2º.3)|Cod.I.6.2º.3]], which includes the same illustrations but adds written instructions to the plays; for this reason, Hils assumed the former was the draftbook used to develop the latter. In 1523, Hutter seems to have created an accompanying longsword treatise, preserved in the [[Hutter/Sollinger Fechtbuch (Cod.I.6.2º.2)|Cod.I.6.2º.2]].
 
 
 
Some time soon after this, all three of Hutter's prior works, along a new series of 32 uncaptioned illustrations of dueling, were compiled into the [[Jörg Wilhalm Hutters kunst zu Augspurg (Cgm 3711)|Cgm 3711]]. This manuscript has some oddities not found in the others, including carnival costumes on some of the fighters and a pretzel salesman appearing in the illustration on [[Page:Cgm 3711 11r.jpg|folio 11r]]. It's currently unclear whether Hutter was involved in the creation of this manuscript or not, but it appears to be a presentation copy of the collected works and includes content unique to each of the three earlier manuscripts. <noinclude>Hutter's longsword treatise was also copied by sculptor Gregor Erhart into the [[Gregor Erhart Fechtbuch (MS E.1939.65.354)|MS E.1939.65.354]] in 1533, though it's currently unclear which source he based it on.
 
  
Most copies of Hutter's treatises were eventually acquired by Freifechter and collector Lienhart Sollinger. Cgm 3711 was a source for his [[Lienhart Sollinger Fechtbuch (Cgm 3712)|Cgm 3712]] (1556) and [[Künnst zu fechten vonn dem Lienhartt Sollinger (Cod.Guelf.38.21 Aug.2º)|Cod.Guelf.38.21 Aug.2º]] (1588), and the former also seems to have drawn heavily from MS E.1939.65.354. Sollinger, in turn, sold several of these works to [[Paulus Hector Mair]]: the Cod.I.6.2º.2 in 1544, the Cod.I.6.4º.5 in 1552, the MS E.1939.65.354 in 1560, and the Cod.I.6.2º.3 in 1561. Hutter's draftbook in particular was apparently used as the primary source for Mair's writings on armored dueling (preserved in three manuscripts in the 1540s and 50s); owing to its lack of text, Mair inserted his own descriptions of the plays—descriptions which diverge noticeably from Hutter's own explanations.
+
<h2> Treatise </h2>
  
A final set of three copies of Hutter's work, including [[Confectbuch von Abrichtung vollständiges Turnierbuch (Cod.Guelf.1.6.3 Aug.2º)|Cod.Guelf.1.6.3 Aug.2º]], [[Unterschiedliche die Dressur und Aufzäumung der Pferde erläuternde Zeichnungen (Cod.Guelf.79.2 Aug.2º)|Cod.Guelf.79.2 Aug.2º]], and [[Reit und Turnierbuch (MS KK5247)|MS KK5247]], were prepared by Jeremias Schemel von Augsburg at the end of the 16th century as part of a massive compilation of treatises on horsemanship which also included discussion of riding, dressage, and jousting. These manuscripts contain Hutter's original text (unlike Mair's version), but the elaborate artwork includes details from multiple prior versions of Hutter's work, suggesting that Schemel's source manuscript may remain to be discovered.</noinclude>

Please note that only the first edition (1516) has the complete set of illustrations, and all later versions are disorganized and incomplete; this article follows the order of plays and illustrations laid out in the original, and the variant sequences can be viewed on the transcription pages. Egenolff's illustrations are rather different from Paurenfeyndt's, and smaller thumbnails are included where applicable. Furthermore, the illustrations on pages 57 and 59 of the 1516 don't seem to relate to the plays described on 58 and 60, since they show pairs of fencers with dussacks while the text indicates that one of them should be unarmed. They are included here for reference, but the Egenolff illustrations (which are original and not based on Paurenfeyndt) are the ones that seem to depict something similar to the plays as described. While the Twelve Rules for the Beginning Fencer are unillustrated in Paurenfeyndt's work, this presentation includes the illustrations for six of the twelve found in the [[Liber Quodlibetarius (MS B.200)|MS B.200]] (1524).

Andre Paurenfeyndt (Paurñfeyndt, Paurñfeindt) was a 16th century German Freifechter. He seems to have been a resident of Vienna, although he mentions in his introduction that he served as a bodyguard to Cardinal Matthäus Lang von Wellenburg (1468 - 1540). In 1516, he wrote and published a fencing manual entitled Ergrundung Ritterlicher Kunst der Fechterey ("Founding of the Chivalric Art of Swordplay"), which Sydney Anglo notes may have been the first illustrated fencing treatise ever published. Little else is known about the life of this master, but he describes himself as a Freifechter and the contents of his book make it clear that he was associated with the tradition of Johannes Liechtenauer. His treatise diverges significantly from the earlier teachings of the Liechtenauer tradition, which may be due to his stated purpose of writing for beginning fencers.

Treatise

Please note that only the first edition (1516) has the complete set of illustrations, and all later versions are disorganized and incomplete; this article follows the order of plays and illustrations laid out in the original, and the variant sequences can be viewed on the transcription pages. Egenolff's illustrations are rather different from Paurenfeyndt's, and smaller thumbnails are included where applicable. Furthermore, the illustrations on pages 57 and 59 of the 1516 don't seem to relate to the plays described on 58 and 60, since they show pairs of fencers with dussacks while the text indicates that one of them should be unarmed. They are included here for reference, but the Egenolff illustrations (which are original and not based on Paurenfeyndt) are the ones that seem to depict something similar to the plays as described. While the Twelve Rules for the Beginning Fencer are unillustrated in Paurenfeyndt's work, this presentation includes the illustrations for six of the twelve found in the MS B.200 (1524).
