Kunstbuechlin, gerechten gründtlichen gebrauchs aller kunstbaren Werckleut. Frankfurt: Christian Egenolff, [ca 1540].
4o (180 x 130 mm). Woodcut title vignette. Collation: A-K4 L6. (Minor browning and staining.) 20th-century half morocco (rubbing to joints).
EXTREMELY RARE. This work is apparently an adaptation of the famous Kunstbuechlin attributed to Heinrich Vogtherr, which was first printed in 1537. It contains receipts for steel and iron, solders, fluxes, for making inks and colors, for illuminating, etc. All 16th- and 17th-century Kunstbuechlin are very rare (see Duveen p. 330 note to a 1616 edition). Only a 1574 edition is in the British Library. See BM/STC German p. 478.
