Folio. Full dark brown morocco, gilt fillets on sides and back, gilt-lettering on spine, gilt inner dentelles (sign. Baum). Mainz, Johann Schoeffer, August 1521.

The work leads from the birth of Christ to the time of Emperor Otto II. Regino (died in 915) became abbot of Prüm in 892. His "Annales" merit our respect as they are one of the earliest attemps to write a world history in a continuous narrative. The two full-page woodcuts show a portrait of Sebastian… Read More
