2010. Denkmäler der Buchkunst, 15. - Stuttgart, Anton Hiersemann, 2010, Flolio (338 x 245 mm), XXXII, 444 pp., mit 68 Farbabbildungen auf 32 Tafeln sowie 86 schwarzweissen Abbildungen, orig. Leinenband. Erste Ausgabe! "Die Kräuterbücher "Herbarius Moguntinus" (1484) und "Gart der Gesundheit" (1485), beide gedruckt von Peter Schöffer, sowie der "Hortus Sanitatis" (1491) aus der Presse von Jacob Meydenbach gehören zu den bedeutendsten Mainzer Frühdrucken der Inkunabelzeit an der Wende vom Mittelalter zur Neuzeit. In der Phase des Übergangs von der Handschrift zum Druck stellen sie Prototypen der bebilderten Medizinwerke dar, die innerhalb von weniger als einem Jahrzehnt auf den Markt kamen.

Schon früh erweckten diese Druckwerke buchgeschichtliches Interesse, wobei aber die naturwissenschaftlichen Aspekte meist nur unzureichend berücksichtigt wurden. Erstmals wird nun in der… Read more

Printers blue pencil around third woodcut. The second leaf (roughly 24 x 18.5 cm) carries four illustrations, arranged 2 x 2, the largest two being roughly 8 x 6 cm. The captions read: 'Bufonites' (from the 'Hortus Sanitatis' of 1497, showing a man extracting a bezoar stone from the head of a frog); 'preparation medicinal earths'; 'obtaining draconites' and 'Hippocrates sleeve'.

The Hortus Sanitatis, or Garden of Health, printed by Johann Pruss in Strassburg in c. 1499, was an important early botanical and medical reference.

This was an innovation which made immediate reference to a… Read more
