Description: 1519 - Leaf from the most beautifully illustrated book of the 16th century Click images to enlarge Description 1519 – Leaf from the most beautiful illustrated book of the 16th century, Die geuerlicheiten und eins teils der geschichten des loblichen streitbaren und hochberumbten helds und Ritters Tewrdannckhs (The atrocities and part of the stories of the laudable, combative and famous hero and knight Tewrdannckhs) Die geuerlicheiten, often referred to as simply Theuerdank, was written by Emperor Maximilian I, polished by his secretary, Melchior Pfintzing, and first printed in Augsburg in 1517 by Johann Schonsperger. Trimmed along the top edge to facilitate its original binding. The book’s type was designed by Vinzenz Rockner, the emperor's court secretary, and the woodcuts approved by Maximilian himself, are the work of the great woodcut artists of the time. This literary epic was conceived by Emperor Maximilian (represented in the poem by the hero, Theuerdank,) to celebrate his heroic feats in overcoming the difficulties on his journey to win his bride, Mary of Burgundy (die Kunigin Ernreich in the poem). Maximilian was largely responsible for writing the poem and had made the first drafts in 1505-08. This leaf (8” x 13”) iss from the second edition, which was a line-by-line reprint of the first. It features a woodcut by Leonhard Beck of Theuerdank striking the evil Burgundian Captain Fürwittig, who would be beheaded by the end of the tale. #10254 View My Other Items For Sale Payment PayPal is preferred for both US and international payments. Other methods of payment may be possible. Shipping Domestic Shipping. Most orders are shipped to locations in the US at no additional cost. If not, shipping costs are set at a flat rate on an item-by-item basis. Media mail shipping--when available and appropriate--is inexpensive but may take between two and four weeks, especially if delivery is to the west coast. If a quick delivery is important to you, please request USPS Priority Mail or some other expedited delivery service before paying. International Shipping. International shipping is usually done through the eBay Global Shipping Program. I know that this can be expensive, but I've switched to this method because I've had too many claims of non-receipt by international buyers. If you contact me in advance of purchase it may be possible for me to ship directly to you. If I ship directly, I will only ship overseas using a trackable method; this can be expensive, and it is non-negotiable. Also, I will only enter true information on customs forms; if you have a problem paying your nation's customs fees, that is beteen you and your government, I have nothing to do with it. If you pay by PayPal, I will only ship to the shipping address specified by PayPal. All shipments are covered by my business insurance at my expense, however if you would like to purchase additional USPS insurance at your expense, let me know, and I'll adjust your invoice accordingly.
