MEDER, Johannes (d. 1518). Quadragesimale de filio prodigo. Basel: Michael Furter, 1497.

A fresh copy of the illustrated second edition, with connection to Brant and Dürer. This edition reprints Furter’s 1495 edition and uses the same woodcuts except for one which is in reverse. Sebastian Brant provided a prefatory poem for this collection of Lenten Sermons by his friend Meder, a Franciscan who resided at Basel from 1495 to 1502. Meder was closely involved in the execution of this edition, requesting himself that Furter furnish the text with illustrations. The woodcuts are attributed to the Master of Haintz-Narr, Dürer’s main collaborator in the illustration of Brant’s famed Ship of Fools (GW 5041 and later editions) (Winkler). F. Winkler, Dürer und die Illustrationen zum Narrenschiff (Berlin, 1951). HC 13629; BMC III 785; BSB-Ink M-301; Bod-inc M-167; CIBN M-265; GW M22502; Goff M-422; Schreiber 4605; Schramm XXII p. 43; ISTC im00422000.
