Yes, Johann Joachim Quantz wrote the first important one (1750), imho still a very important book about playing baroque music. Then came an important treatise by Johann George Tromlitz (1791) which touched on his famous and nasty battle with Ribock, his former student, which I believe went back and forth in published writings a couple of times. Tromlitz took a couple of shots at Quantz, too. Apparently Tromlitz was a brilliant player, teacher and scholar, but also a mean, short-tempered guy whom everyone disliked.
In the late 19th century came the treatise battle between Englishmen R.S. Rockstro and Christopher Welch. Part of the nastiness was due to the fact that all of these guys, except for Welch, in addition to being major players, designed, made and sold flutes, and each wanted his own model to be the industry standard. It's all about the money. Of course, similar rivalries existed with other instrument makers.
