157128345Nuremberg 1571. Engraving printed on two sheets of laid paper joined. Engraver's monogram at the lower left. Early manuscript caption in English in the lower margin. Plate mark: 11 x 16 inches. Sheet size: 14 5/8 x 18 3/8 inches. Tear extending from the right margin closed with small void in excellent facsimile small worm hole within the image. Very rare German news-sheet map depicting the Turkish fleet invasion of Cyprus in 1570.<br/> <br/>Exceptionally scarce engraved German broadside map depicting the Ottoman fleet sailing to Venetian-controlled Cyprus in 1570. The early English manuscript caption in ink just below image reads: "The representation of the Turkish Navall Army in ye year 1570 going forth to meet the Venetian fleet." Cyprus then under Venetian rule was a strategic point for controlling shipping and trade in the Eastern Mediterranean. The Ottomans ruled by Sultan Selim II had long desired the island. Following a series of warnings and demands the Ottoman fleet commanded by Müezzinzade Ali Pasha and Lala Mustafa Pasha sailed for Cyprus in late June 1570. Depicted here the Turkish fleet was composed of an estimated 350-400 ships and upwards of 100000 men. Following sieges and massacres at Nicosia Kyrenia and Famagusta the island was taken by August 1571. Although the invasion was long-heralded the Venetian fleet failed to prevent the invasion or the subsequent fall of Cyprus to the Turks. However they subsequently raised the support of the "Holy League" of the Catholic maritime states in the Mediterranean and defeated the Ottoman fleet at the Battle of Lepanto in October 1571 off the western coast of Greece. The victory of the Holy League prevented the Ottoman Empire expanding further along the European side of the Mediterranean though did not end their possession of Cyprus. Jenichen who signed the map with his monogram 'BI' was the leading German publisher of news-sheet maps. Jenichen and compatriot Matthias Zündt took particular interest in the conflict and produced views and maps of it that equaled and surpassed those of their Italian counterparts. Given their ephemeral nature all are rare and desirable.

1534278361534 Heinrich Stainer?, Augsbourg Augspurg, 1534 Folio; pleine toile posterieure ( fin XIXE s)- [295 x 210 mm], 34 Pages de texte + 121 illustrations ht (recto-verso) + 3 in texte (gravures sur bois) are issue (250 x 175 mm) illustrating Vegetius’ treaty. Diving suit, bathyscaph and inventive war machines. A very rare series of 121 woodcuts of very nice craftsmanship due to Hans Knapp and M. Scharzenberg.A superb series, very rare, defauts ; page de titre, frontispice; 2 pages de texte de la table et 2 feuillets d'illustrations manquants ,derniére planche dechirée mais restaurable.Very rare,dans l'etat.Il faut 129 planches ht ?-: [4], XXX, [66] Blatter : zahlreiche Illustrationen ; 2It is around the years 1511- that Hans Knapp printed this series in Erfurt.In 1511, he edited a German version of Vegetius’ text illustrated with 121 full-page woodcuts. The illustration of the 1511 German edition served as a model for the 16th century edition but without the 74 extra woodcuts (1512). Of beautiful craftsmanship, this is a wonderful display of the art of war at the beginning of the 16th century. The soldiers are represented in action, with their armors and machines of war.The lively scenes, full of picturesque details, are for the most part due to Hans Knapp himself, whereas some are signed with the monograms PVM et MS (Melchior Scharzenberg). The most surprising engravings are dedicated to contemporary diving equipment: diving suits, underwater fishing, underwater combat, waterproof boots, ancestor of the bathyscaph. On two very intriguing figures, we can see the use of flint and the first version of an inflatable mattress.

One title leaf and 17 ff. 36 pp. Text in early New High German Frühneuhochdeutsch. Nineteenth-century marbled boards. Very Good. Ex-library with two small marginal stamps.</p><p>Extremely rare sixteenth-century political and military propaganda tract directed against the Ottoman Empire printed at the height of Ottoman expansion into Central Europe following the Battle of Mohács 1526. No printer or place stated.</p><p>According to Carl Göllner Turcica: Die europäischen Türkendrucke des XVI. Jahrhunderts only one copy is recorded dated 1526 VD 16 no. 1881 underscoring the exceptional rarity of this work.</p><p>The pamphlet addresses the urgent question of how the Holy Roman Empire Deutsches Reich should organize its defense against the Ottomans. While it discusses military preparedness and strategic resistance to the Turks the core focus of the text lies in the economic and social burden of war specifically:</p><p>How the costs of military defense should be financed<br />The responsibility of the Christian Church and the Vatican<br />Contributions expected from the German territorial states<br />The allocation of financial obligations among different social classes within German society<br />The work reflects contemporary anxieties surrounding the Ottoman threat and provides valuable insight into early modern fiscal-military thought confessional politics and the rhetoric of defending Christendom against Islam. It is an important source for the study of Reformation-era political discourse anti-Ottoman propaganda and the social history of warfare in sixteenth-century Europe.</p><p>A remarkably scarce survival of early German political printing concerning the Ottoman question.</p> hardcover
