HAEBLER, Konrad (1857-1946)

German Incunabula: 110 Original-Leaves described by Konrad Haebler. Translated from the German by André Barbey. [Munich: Weiss & Co. Antiquariat, 1927].

An extensive selection of incunabula leaves illustrating the spread of printing in the German across the German-speaking lands, with descriptive text by Haebler giving the history of printing and identifying the leaves, presses and types. Represented are presses at Mainz, Cologne, Augsburg, Strasbourg, Nuremberg, Blaubeuren, Meissen, Basel and elsewhere, from presses such as Johann Mentelin, Saint Ulrich & Afra, Christman Heyny, and Erhard Ratdolt. Koberger’s press at Nuremberg is particularly well represented by 11 leaves representing 13 types, and including a leaf from his Ninth German Bible (1483).



110 specimen leaves (mounted to 533 x 420mm) from incunabula editions printed in Germany or Germany-speaking Switzerland, window-mounted with mounted printed caption labels, some leaves rubricated (lacking text volume [supplied in reduced photostat facsimile from Ann Arbor: University Microfilms], minor tears to the mount of plate 1, a few leaves spotted or stained). Contained in 2 publisher's folding linen boxes, lettered on front and spine (corners slightly frayed).
