149348447Nuremberg: Anton Koberger 1493. Single leaf in Latin printed recto and verso. Folio 12" X 17½". Very good. Mildly age toned with expected stitching traces along gutter edge. This encyclopedic account of world events is one of the best-known incunabula highly regarded for integrating dramatic and numerous woodcuts with text. German merchant Sebald Schreyer and his son-in-law Sebastian Kammermeister commissioned scholar Hartmann Schedel to write the text hired printer Koberger and produced versions in both Latin and German. The Latin version 1400 to 1500 copies appeared in July 1493 and the German version 700 to 1000 copies in December. According to one source about 400 Latin copies survive today and about 300 German copies with some of each having been disbound. "Folium CCVII" offered here includes an image at upper left of two "Linea imperatory" "Imperial rule" -- half-length portraits of Phillipus at top and beneath him Otto Quartus each holding orb and scepter. Leaf CCVIII features large woodcuts of monastery structures at upper left and lower right the former titled "Ordo cruciferorum" and the latter "Ordo carmelitarum." At upper right is a smaller woodcut of an unnamed clergyman clutching a crucifix. Anton Koberger unknown
