BRANT, Sebastian (1457-1521) - Stultifera navis. Basel: Johann Bergmann, de Olpe, 1 Marzo 1497.

An incomplete copy of the first Latin edition of Sebastian Brant's satirical poem translated by Jacobus Locher. The "stultifera navis" had a strong influence on contemporaries as evidenced by the more than twenty successive editions after the first German edition printed by Bergmann in 1494: "the 'Ship of Fools' was the first original work by a German which passed in world literature "(PMM 37). The famous illustrations are the work of the "Meister der Bergmannschen Offizin" often recognized in the young Albrecht Dürer and the Haintz-Nar-Meister and Gnad-her-Meister.

8vo (205 x 150mm). Lacking first and last leaves, 136 of 148 (lacking: a1-3, m1 (89), m8 (96), s1 (137), and final leaves s7-t4, widespread stains, occasional holes with some text losst). Without covers and spine and partially unbound. Provenance: Jo Jacob Lazarius utriusque doctoris, 1536 (signature on leaf 46 ) - Iuli Cesaris Ferrari (bookplate).
