Los 74 | [BRANT, Sebastian (1458-1521)] - METODIO, Santo (815–885) - Revelationes divinae a sanctis angelis factae
[BRANT, Sebastian (1458-1521)] - METODIO, Santo (815–885) - Revelationes divinae a sanctis angelis factae. Tradotto da Wolfgangus Aytinger: Tractatus super Methodium. Ed: Sebastian Brant. Basel: Michael Furter, 5 gennaio 1498. First illustrated edition of this work which was thought for long to be attributed to St Methodius (martyred in 312) and translated by Aytinger, a monk from Augsburg. It is now believed to have been composed in Syriac in the seventh century but only known in its Latin or Greek versions until the twentieth century. It is a book of prophecies, which predicts the ultimate triumph of the Christians over the Turkish infidels and it is one of several apocalyptic texts circulating at the time, and was probably the most widespread. This is the first illustrated edition of this text, which must have been successful as regularly reprinted by Furter using the same blocks. Some of the woodcuts may have been made for other publications, such as Brant's Ship of Fools. 4to (180 x 135mm). Numerous large woodcut illustrations including one on title (title remargined, few small marginal repaired tears, f8 in facsimile, occasional light browning). Modern boards using parts of an early illustrated text. Provenance: "Capucinorum Clivensium" (ownership inscriptions and some early annotations) - FH (monogram of the Bibliotheque Fiere sold in Paris on June 16, 1937).
