The Thibault Project
Own an original 17th century print
As part of a project to expand the Wiktenauer article on the treatise of Girard Thibault d’Anvers, we have collected 30 original painted pages that were cut out of copies of his book and are getting them repaired and digitized for the use of the HEMA community.
These prints are enormous (the picture is about 27 × 19 in. or 48 × 68.5 cm) and quite beautiful. Once the scanning is complete in April or May, we have no further use for them and are selling them along to fencers who will treasure them.
You can read more about this project and purchase a print of your own here.
Foundational Description of the Art of Fencing
The 1570 Treatise of Joachim Meyer
by Joachim Meyer, Hans Christoph Stimmer (illustrator), Rebecca L. R. Garber (translator), Michael Chidester (editor)
Nigh on two years after the release of the Reading Edition, some people are finding that their books are getting ragged and the glued spines just aren't holding up to their level of abuse. I've talked this situation over with Grimm Book Bindery, the workshop that builds our facsimiles, and we're going to produce a very limited run of cleat-sewn copies of the book.
That's not all! While it's too soon for a new edition of the Meyer books, over the past few months we've been reviewing the text and correcting errors, as well as adding a few quality-of-life features that were part of the original plan but skipped the first time around. We'll release an errata sheet when this process is concluded, but these hardcover books will be made with the corrected files, giving you access to the most up-to-date version of the book!
