CICÉRON, Marcus Tullius Cicero (106-43 av. J.-C.)
Officia. Ein buch von den tugentsamen ämptern. [Augsbourg : Steiner], 16 février 1531.

L'un des plus beaux livres illustrés du XVIe siècle. Il s'agit de la première édition comprenant la traduction allemande des Offices par J. de Neuber. Dès sa parution, l'édition rencontre un grand succès - deux rééditions successives paraissent, en avril et décembre de la même année.
Elle est aussi remarquable pour son programme iconographique, composé de grandes gravures sur bois particulièrement détaillées, et aux sujets variés : signalons ainsi un montreur d'ours (F3v), des joueurs de dés et de cartes (O2r), un office notarial (A6r), l'échoppe d'un drapier et d'un armurier (F1r), des artistes (C2r et F5v) et des bâtisseurs à l'oeuvre (F3r), des scènes de pillage (H3v), ou de chasse (N5v), de naufrage (O6r) ou encore un chirurgien en pleine amputation (M2v).
