WALASSER, Adam (d 1581), editor
Von der Gemahelschafft des himlischen Künigs. Ein wunnigklich schöns Kunstbüchlin . wie ein weltlicher Mensch mög geistlich werden. Widerumb ernewert gebessert und gemehret
Dillingen: Sebald Mayer 1572. 8vo 153 x 120 mm. Collation: A-Z8 a4 -a4 blank. 7 173 7 leaves. Title printed in red and black within 4-part metalcut border repeated on title verso shoulder notes; 121 woodcuts of which 17 flanked by type-ornament borders; the cut on f. 113v roughly colored. One-inch tear to title first few leaves loosening and slightly softened some minor soiling a few short marginal tears. Contemporary blind-tooled calf over wooden boards covers with border of a Fides-Justitia-Prudentia-Spes roll approx. 166 x 14 mm. not in Haebler or the Einbanddatenbank pair of metal fore-edge clasps and catches plain endpapers rubbed knife slashes to front cover by an anti-Catholic. Provenance: partially legible early signature on back flyleaf Ex libris Andreas Zwy---; inscription in a different early hand on front flyleaf: ich läbte lebte und weiss nit wie / ich stirb und weiss nich wän / ich fahr und weiss nit wohin†this popular German saying incorrectly attributed to Martin von Biberach was called by Luther the “rhyme of the godlessâ€.<br /> <br /> First Edition of Walasser’s modernized adaptation of a late medieval allegorical romance of the soul’s marriage to Christ in an illustrated pocket edition from the first press of Dillingen. <br /> <br /> The compiler Adam Walasser was not a cleric but a writer for hire who worked as “content producer†editor and proofreader for Sebald Mayer from the time the press was founded in 1550 until 1573 when along with Mayer’s son Johann Walasser helped the Tegernsee Benedictines set up their own monastic press. His charge for Mayer was to produce copy by editing translating reworking or completing existing printed or manuscript works in order to further the Counter-Reformation program of the press’s patron and eventually owner the Cardinal-Prince-Bishop of Augsburg Otto von Waldburg. The hard-working Walasser who also had experience as a printer also produced a few works of his own and left dozens of works of Catholic religious devotion Counter-Reformation polemics and a couple of books on German heraldry and language.<br /> <br /> The Büchlein der geistlichen Gemahelschaft a didactic allegory in rhyming couplets by one “Konrad of Vienna†identified as the Viennese Franciscan Konrad Spitzer d. 1380 circulated in manuscript in the late 14th and 15th centuries. A prose version written ca. 1418-1430 known in a few illustrated manuscripts was printed in Augsburg by Johann Bämler in 1477-1478 GW 5666-5668 and later by Johann Schönsperger GW 5669. Bämler used the title Buch der Kunst dadurch der weltliche Mensch mag geistlich werden "the Book of art by which the worldly person can become spiritual" hence the word Kunstbüchlin usually reserved for practical manuals in Walasser’s title. Walasser used one of the Bämler editions as his copy-text. In his dedicatory letter to the powerful Abbess of the Imperial Abbey of Buchau Maria Jakoba from the noble family of von Schwarzenberg und Hohenlandsberg he describes his labors after receiving an “old book†from an “honorable person in Konstanze†who suggested that he republish it; it “delighted him as if it were a noble precious treasure†for he found it filled with the Gold and Silver of Christ’s teachings fol. A6r-v. Walasser followed the Bämler text modernizing the language omitting a few words and phrases and adding others and added chapter numbers and a final table.<br /> <br /> The tale of seven virgins one of whom is chosen to marry the King is an allegory of the eternal struggle between good and evil God and Satan. The bride is led through temptation and is accompanied on mystical visits by the allegorical figures of Hope Faith and Wisdom. The latter teaches her “the theocentric worldview†Verfasserlexikon through seven secret words. The final magnificent wedding prepared by ten more virtuous maidens represents the unification through baptism of the soul with God. The symbolic meanings of the plot developments are helpfully spelled out in printed shoulder notes. The story is used as a framework for teaching the basics of Christian doctrine of Creation the Passion and the Sacraments. Using this old tale for Counter-Reformation messaging was a way to beat the Protestants at their own vernacular game by instructing while diverting the literate lay reader unversed in Latin often a woman. <br /> <br /> The many woodcut illustrations are smaller copies some in reverse of the cuts used in Bämler’s editions. Whereas Bämler used some of his blocks more than once there are no repeats in Mayer’s edition and while the cuts showing the virgins in action are all copied from the incunable editions there are some divergences in the sections on the Passion and other “generic†passages. A few of the woodcuts which are more heavily shaded than the others and/or are narrower than the text-block may have come from Mayer’s stock and been used in other works. The cut on 51v stylistically different from the others is signed BP; this monogrammist’s woodcuts appeared in other books by Walasser cf. Nagler Monogrammisten I:1992. <br /> <br /> No doubt in part because of the rarity of the Dillingen editions the source of this work does not seem to have been previously recognized. Although four more editions appeared during the next 30 years all are rare with none represented in American libraries. <br /> <br /> USTC 703501; VD16 ZV 2620; Otto Bucher Bibliographie der deutschen Drucke des XVI. Jahrhunderts. I: Dillingen Bibliotheca Bibliographica I 648; cf. Bäumker Wilhelm "Walasser Adam" Allgemeine Deutsche Biographie 40 pp 640-643. Sebald Mayer unknown

From 1762 to 1766 he ran a school in Manchester teaching a range of commercial and arts subjects and gave lectures on astronomy.<br />In 1766 he bought the apparatus of itinerant lecturer William Griffis gave up his school and became himself an itinerant lecturer. In the same year he also published the first of his very successful tracts his <i>Analysis of a Course of Lectures on Natural and Experimental Philosophy</i> which was first published in Kendal and ran to a twentieth edition in London under the editorship of his sons. Walker travelled through northern England southern Scotland spent four years in Ireland and settled in York. He drew large audiences due to his demonstrations particularly his spectacular eidouranion a transparent orrery which he used for fifty years. He invented and built a cometarium which demonstrated Kepler's first two laws of planetary motion. He was a friend of the well known itinerant lecturer James Ferguson and on Ferguson's death in 1777 Walker acquired his eclipsareon which demonstrated the nature of eclipses. In 1778-79 he gave a series of highly successful lectures in London which prompted him to set up home there in Hanover Square. From his London base Walker continued to travel and his lectures on mechanics were packed by artisans in northern towns.He was friendly with most of the eminent industrialists and scientists of the Lunar Society. He staged a highly successful performance of his new eidouranion in the Theatre Royal Haymarket which was accompanied by the music of the coelestina a mechanical harpiscord producing a continuous sound which had patented in 1772. His <i>Epitome of Astronomy</i> 1782 went through thirty editions. He visited Paris in 1785 toured Flanders Germany France and Italy in 1790 and published his views of French life. He lectured at the public schools of Eton Westminster St. Pauls and Rugby. He also patented improvements to various machines including a method of thermo-ventiliation 1786 and a rotating light. He died at Richmond Surrey in 1821 and is buried in the family vault at Hayes where a monument commemorated him as "The Inventor of the Eidourion".<br />He published several works and described himself variously as "Teacher of the Belles Lettres in Manchester" "Lecturer on Experimental Philosophy" and "Lecturer to the Duke of Gloucester". He was married with one daughter and three sons two of whom continued their father's practice of public and touring lectures. Printed for the Author, [by] G.
