Summary "Duell-Codex" by Gustav Hergsell is a treatise on dueling protocols and etiquette written in the late 19th century. The work aims to provide a comprehensive compilation of duel rules and procedures aimed at addressing grievances of honor among gentlemen, ensuring a structured approach to confrontations. At the start of the text, Hergsell introduces the necessity of outlining the rules surrounding duels due to frequent requests from his students and acquaintances in the fencing community. He emphasizes that the book will focus solely on the established dueling procedures, laws, and the conduct of duels rather than moral or historical debates about the practice. Hergsell references previous works, particularly those by the Count of Chatauvillard, while positioning the Codex as a necessary guide for gentlemen forced into duels, emphasizing that even though dueling is outside legal bounds, the rules pertaining to it deserve respect in civil society.
