ADELPHUS, Joannes [pseud. of Johann Adolph MÜLICH] (d. after 5 August 1522). Barbarossa. Ein schöne unnd warhaffte beschreibung des Lebens unnd der Geschichten Keyser Friderichs des ersten. Strassburg: Bartholomaeus Grüninger, 1535.
2° (295 x 195 mm). Collation: A4 B-L6. 64 leaves. Gothic type. Xylographic initials. Title woodcut of the crowned Barbarossa on horseback carrying the imperial orb and a banner bearing his arms, 22 large woodcuts in the text, various sizes (4 cuts printed from two small blocks each), including a large woodcut view of Venice and 9 cuts of military machines, several with German inscriptions cut in the block. (Some browning and foxing.) Modern paper wrappers.
Provenance: Johann Albrecht von Widmanstadt (1506-59), philologist and Syriac scholar, editor of the first Syriac New Testament (Vienna, 1555), ownership inscription on title.
Third edition of this popular illustrated chronicle of the conquests and reign of Emperor Frederick I, illustrated with the same woodcuts as Grüninger's 1520 and 1530 editions. Joannes Adelphus (or Mülich), town physician of Schaffhausen, scholar and historian, states in his dedicatory preface to the Basel chancellor and notary Hans Gerster that he was asked by a friend to compile a German history from the existing Latin sources, and specifically cites the chronicles of Sabellicus, Blondus, Platina, Otto of Freising, and Johann Nauclerus. The woodcuts include a battle scene showing the German siege of Milan in 1162 (G6v), and a curious large woodcut of Venice (I2v), viewed, most unusually, from the north, with the Campanile on the right and San Marco on the left, and two large ships at anchor in the lagoon beyond. The cuts of military apparatus are adopted from the often imitated 1472 Valturius.
AN INTERESTING ASSOCIATION COPY, from the library of the eminent Viennese orientalist Johann von Widmanstadt, whose edition of the Syriac New Testament was a monument of biblical scholarship and the first book printed in Syriac. Widmanstadt was also the author of a Syriac grammar and of a vernacular study of heraldry.
