Translated by André Barbey. 83, [2] pp. + [blank leaf], 55 leaves tipped into matting. 48x37 cm (19x14½"), plain wrappers, mats loose as issued, together in cloth clamshell case. No. 46 of 100.
A beautiful and historically valuable array of woodcuts, including a few botanical images, but largely human figures and landscapes. Many are hand-colored, and illustrate a range of 15th century costumes and city scenes.
Condition
Cloth case frayed at edges, foxed; a few smudges and small closed tears to wrappers; minor toning and wear to leaves, altogether very good.
