Kunst des Messerfechtens ("The Art of Messer Fencing", Cod.Pal.germ. 430) is a German fencing manual created in 1478 by Johannes Lecküchner and dedicated to Philip "the Upright" of Wittelsbach, Elector Palatine of the Rhine.[1] The original currently rests in the holdings of the Universitätsbibliothek Heidelberg in Heidelberg, Germany. This manuscript is believed to be the rough draft of Lecküchner's work mentioned at the end of the 1482 version, Cgm 582. As the Cgm 582 is titled Kunst des Messerfechtens, that title may also be assigned to this unillustrated draft.
