Description
Colophon: Excvdebant Lvgdvni Melchior et Gaspar Trechsel fratres, 1538. The address on the t.p. is that of J. and F. Frellon; see Mortimer Holbein's drawings for the 41 ill. probably date from 1524-25, and the wood blocks were cut by Hans Lützelburger before 1526 (the 36th ill. incorporates his monogram); see Hollstein. Each cut is preceded by a Latin caption taken from the Bible, and followed by a quatrain in French that generally paraphrases the caption Signatures: A-N Mortimer, R. French 16th-cent. Hollstein German Getty copy incomplete. It consists of 13 trimmed leaves printed on both sides with text and illustrations, thus comprising 26 of the total of 41 illustrated pages. That they are from the 1st ed. of 1538 is confirmed by comparison with a facsim. of that ed. (New York : Dover, 1971). Each page is annotated beneath the lower left-hand corner of the image with a sequence number
