PFINTZING, Melchior (1481-1535). Die geuerlicheiten und eins teils der geschichten des loblichen streitbaren und hochberumbten helds und Ritters Tewrdannckhs. Augsburg: Johannes Schönsperger, 1519.
2° (350 x 234mm). 118 half-page woodcut illustrations by Leonhard Beck, Hans Leonhard Schäufelein and Hans Burgkmair. (Some small tears to lower margins, those on s8 and y1 just affecting text, occasional browning and slight worming, but generally a fine tall copy, with paraphs unshaved.) Modern sheep, spine in five compartments with raised bands. Provenance: Edouard Erdmann (bookplate).
The third edition of Pfintzing's poem, barely distinguishable from the second, also published in 1519. (Hugh Davies, Murray German p. 532, gives Panzer's list of the differences between the two editions.) The work celebrates the heroic feats of the Emperor Maximilian I (represented in the poem by the hero Tewrdannck) in overcoming the difficulties of his journey to win his bride, Mary of Burgundy (die Künigin Ernreich in the poem). Maximilian was largely responsible for writing the poem, and had made the first drafts in 1505-08. By 1512, with the assistance of Dietrichstein, most of the work had been written: Pfintzing, the emperor's private secretary, undertook the general finishing and editing of the poem. The distinctive type was made especially for this book, and was designed by Vincenz Röckner, the emperor's court secretary. The printer Schönsperger was brought to Nuremberg specifically to work on the first edition, published in 1517, which was not intended for sale. His later editions, published in Augsburg, used the same type and woodcuts. Davies Murray German 330; Brunet V, 767-8.
