It is also notable as the collection of German city laws to be issued in print. The 1522 issue by Peypus is notable for its splendid full-page frontispiece by the great Nuremberg artist Albrecht Durer which was originally issued as an independent print in 1521.

‎The Brothers; A Roman Comedy 160 B.C.‎

‎Kentfield California: The Allen Press 1968. Limited Edition. Hardcover. Fine. Durer Albrecht. One of 140 copies folio size 34 leaves unnumbered with original prospectus folded in original hand-addresed mailing envelope. The thirty-second limited edition from The Allen Press and the first printed on their 1846 Columbian handpress. Terence circa 195 - 159 B.C. was and has remained a popular playwright "The Brothers" considered to be one of his greatest plays being "not only a delightful and clever comedy but also a fine study of human nature. Proof of the timelessness of Terence's genius lies in the fact that over 400 manuscripts of his plays survive today and many of his plots have been purloined by successive generations of playwrights." This is the first edition of "The Brothers" illustrated by Durer. "Although there were about forty Terence editions previous to 1500 humanist scholars strongly objected to illustrations for the classics. So it was not until 1493 that the first was issued: 150 woodcuts in the edition printed by Johann Treschel at Lyon France. <br/><br/>It is one of the most beautiful illustrated books of the fifteenth-century; but its editor Johann Badius tried to soften the innovation by declaring that the pictures were added to assist the illiterate." The coincidence which made the present edition possible is that "Johann Amerbach of Basel unaware that the Treschel edition was underway began a similar edition by commissioning the young genius Albrecht Durer at age 20 to design 150 illustrative woodcuts one for every scene of the drama. However when the drawings were completed but only a few blocks cut the Lyon edition appeared and the Basel project abandoned." Durer's work survived and is preserved at the Kunstmuseum Basel where Lewis and Dorothy Allen first studied the mostly ink drawings of white-grounded wood blocks work in 1965. The director of the museum generously provided them with permission to reproduce the drawings and provided high resolution photos. George Lewis "photographically eliminated" the considerable erosion worm holes and mildew and metal plates were made of the twenty-seven illustrations for this edition "their first book use."<br/><br/>___DESCRIPTION: Quarter decorative German woven fabric and sienna-brown all-rag Italian paper covered boards with a pictorial title to the upper board teal endpapers fore- and tail-edges uncut pictorial title-page printed in black woodcut heads are printed in brown chapter numbers are printed in blue-green throughout with twenty-seven illustrations based on Durer drawings used here for the first time as book illustrations for a Terence play; hand-set Unciala type the first appearance in an American book all-rag paper made at the Wookey Hole mill in England to the specifications of the press with their watermark folio size 13.25" by 8 7/8" 34 unnumbered leaves limited edition one of 140 copies.

‎Sebastian Brant and Albrecht Durer‎

‎Original Leaf with Two Albrecht Dürer Woodcuts from Sebastian Brant's Nauis Stultifera Collectanea. Das Narrenschiff or The Ship of Fools - "Teaching of Wisdom" and "Stroking a Fallow Stallion"‎

‎Paris: Jodocus Badius Ascensius Josse Badius 1505. Leaf. Very Good. The leaf is approximately 5.25" x 8". Each woodcut is approximately 85 x 115 mm. The woodcuts have dark crisp impressions. The leaf has some minor marginal toning. It is a very nice example of one of Dürer's earliest woodcut designs. Thirteen editions were published between 1494 and 1521 six authorized and seven pirated. <br /><br />Leaves from these editions are very easily confused and many later printings are often listed as firsts; in all but the very first edition the woodcuts were done by other craftsmen based on Dürer's original designs. <br /><br />This leaf is from the second Latin edition. It contains two woodcuts most leaves only have one featuring Dürer's fools who always wear cowls with ass-ears and a coxcomb of bells a convention Dürer established. <br /><br />The first woodcut "The Teaching of Wisdom" illustrates both wise men and fools reacting to a sermon. The reverse "Stroking a Fallow Stallion" is depiction of a fool being trampled by a horse he feigned to respect which symbolizers the ultimate fate of false flatters. <br /><br />One of the most famous and popular works during the early years of printing <i>The Ship of Fools</i> was a satire on the many then-current ecclesiastical abuses as exemplified by Brant's imaginary character Saint Grobian the patron saint of vulgarity and coarse manners. A substantial part of <i>The Ship of Fools' </i>popularity was no doubt due to its marvelous woodcut illustrations most of which were created by Albrecht Dürer then a young journeyman woodcut designer working in Basel. Art historians note that his work in these woodcuts Dürer's first significant commissioned effort is not as impressive as his later efforts as a master in Nuremberg; e.g. the hatching consists of only simple parallel lines and contours are crude thick and without much variation. Still they are superior to other illustrations in the book designed by an assortment of masters. <br /><br /> Jodocus Badius Ascensius (Josse Badius) books‎

‎DURER Albrecht‎

‎Institutionum Geometricarum‎

‎Paris: Christian Wechel 1532. First Latin edition of Dürer’s first book on the theory of art the Unterweisung der Messung bound with the first Latin edition of his treatise on fortification “strictly speaking the first treatise dealing exclusively with this subject” Krufft with important material on urban planning and utopianism.1 Illustrated by Dürer himself the Institutionum Geometricarum outlines the artist’s theory of “the work of art as a natural object” which became an accepted aesthetic dogma until the 19th century. Far more than the German original of 1525 this translation by the humanist Camerarius brought the treatise to the attention of the whole of Europe. As a theoretical statement by “the last major painter to be counted a significant geometer” Kemp the work is naturally of interest for applications in Dürer’s own oeuvre as well as for the history of perspective. After his encounter with Luca Pacioli in Italy Dürer became convinced of how close the links are between art and mathematics and devoted himself to the study of form through the resources offered by arithmetic and geometry. The result was the present work. In this work Dürer teaches the principles of perspective and explains the application of practical geometry to drawing and painting. It became a very influential text as its audience broadened from artists to architects sculptors and different craftsmen and was translated and reprinted several times.Panofsky describes the treatise’s importance as three-fold: for the technical innovation in the construction of a perspective apparatus in which the eye of the observer is dispensed with entirely; for being the first literary document “in which a strictly representational problem received a strictly scientific treatment at the hands of a Northerner”; and for emphasizing that “perspective is not a technical discipline destined to remain subsidiary to painting or architecture but an important branch of mathematics capable of being developed into what is now known as general projective geometry” Panofsky p. 252.Book Three contains Dürer’s famous treatise on the just shaping of Roman capital letters and gothic or ‘Textur’ letters built up by means of small geometrical forms a method original with Dürer. This text was translated into English by R.T. Nichol for publication by the Grolier Club Of the Just Shaping of Letters New York 1917.2 Inspired by the artist’s witnessing the siege of Hohenasperg in 1519 and by fear of the advancing Turkish armies Krufft writes De Urbibus “employs a dual approach. On the one hand Dürer develops various alternatives for the construction of bastions to defend existing cities; this is the contemporary aspect. At the heart of the treatise he outlines a utopian city in which the nature of fortification merely serves as a spur to the depiction of a social structure organized on the ground. Related trades are placed side by side; smiths are to be housed near foundries etc. The town hall and the houses of the nobility are sited near the royal palace. The whole system of organization is hierarchical and functional. Dürer thinks of every function of the city right down to the taverns” Krufft History of Architectural Theory p. 110 . Elsewhere Krufft suggests that Serlio employed the present treatise in book VI.According to Mortimer the woodblocks are close copies of the 1527 German original. 1Mortimer French I.182; Vagnetti E II.b7; Panofsky The Life and Art of Albrecht Dürer Chapter 8 “Dürer as a theorist of Art” esp. 247-60; Kemp The Science of Art 53ff.; 2 Mortimer French I.184; Fowler 113 1527 German; Krufft History of Architectural Theory 110-111. 4 ff. recto of last leaf blank woodcut of man with lute on verso 185 pp. verso blank 1 f. printer’s device on verso recto blank; folding extensions on P6 & Q1 as required by Mortimer.

‎DE SYMMETRIA PARTIUM HUMANORUM CORPORUM LIBRI QUATUOR, E’ GERMANICA LINGUA, IN LATINAM VERSI.‎

‎In-4 p. (mm. 307x204), elegante legatura in p. pelle mod., cornici a secco e picc. decorazioni oro ai piatti, dorso a cordoni con fregi e tit. oro, 4 cc.nn., 122 cc.num. (di cui 4, ripiegate: n2 - r1 - r2 e v4 - sono segnate come singole ma contate come doppie nella numerazione). Il volume è ornato da una bella marca tipografica al frontespizio (raffigura un cavaliere su Pegaso nell’intento di trafiggere un drago con la lancia e, sullo sfondo, una città), da una pregevole testata e grandi iniziali a grottesche, ed è illustrato nel da 145 figure (corpi umani della grandezza della pagina), da alc. particolari (crani, mani e piedi) e da diagrammmi. Le interessanti illustrazioni sono copie delle silografie originali di Duerer della prima edizione tedesca, Norimberga, 1528. Celebrata ed importante opera. Cfr. Choulant, p. 143 e ss: "Albrecht Duerer (Nuremberg 1471 - 1528), like Leonardo da Vinci, wrote treatises on mathematics, chemistry, hydraulics, anatomy, and other scientific subjects.. He was one of the first artists in Germany who practiced and taught the rules of perspective, which he is said to have learned from Lucas von Leyden.. His book on human proportions was prepared for the press after his death by his lifelong friend Willibald Pirkheimer, and it appeared in October, 1528.. The work is divided into four books. The first two books treat of the proper proportions of the human form and its separate members, according to a constructed scale. He first divides the body into seven parts, each having the same measurement as the head, and he next considers the same divided into eight parts, giving also a separate consideration to the proportions of children. The woman, he considers, ought to be an eighteenth part shorter than man. In his proportions of the female figure he follows, perhaps unwittingly, the celebrated standard of the Venus de' Medici. In his third book he changes these proportions according to mathematical rule, and gives examples of ludicrously fat and thin figures, in which some one proportion is frightfully exaggerated. In the fourth book he shows the human form in movement, and treats especially of foreshortenings..” - Adams,I, p. 371 - Brunet,II,914 - Cicognara,319: “nitidissima edizione”.
