SCHEDEL, Hartmann (1440-1514). Liber chronicarum. Augsburg: Johann Schönsperger, 1 February 1497.
Chancery 2° (296x201mm). Collation: π-3π6 4π8 a6 b-e4 f-g6 h4 i6 k2 l4 m6 n8 o-p6 q4 r-v6 x4 y-z6 A-Z AA-MM6 NN4 OO6 PP2. (π1 title to register, π2 register, 4π7v-8 blank, a1r title, a1v prologue, a2v full-page woodcut, a3r text, OO5r colophon, OO5v-6 blank). 363 (of 366, lacking b1 and k2, and without blank OO6) leaves, the register is bound at the end, preceded by the 2-page map of Germany. 51 lines and headline, double column. Type: 5:300G (title), 4:150G (headlines and headings), 9:87G (text). Woodcut black lombard capitals, one Maiblumen initial, profusely illustrated with one full-page woodcut, woodcut city views, portraits, and scenes, 2 xylographic title-pages, plus a 2-page map of Germany (trimmed at edges), many of the cuts with early hand-colouring. (Some stains, some tears extending into text, usually repaired and without loss, P6 torn and lacking half, small marginal hole in first few leaves.) Nineteenth-century vellum-backed marbled paper boards. Provenance: Georg Hannenberger, inscription dated [15]62, ex Watertingen(?), and followed by emit me Baciis iii fl.; genealogical table of Christopher Kirchner and Barbara Santheri, begun by Kirchner in 1596.
This is the first edition in Latin printed by Schönsperger, following by one year his German edition. For his pirated editions, Schönsperger abbreviated the text, simplified the lay-out, reduced the size of the book and the woodcuts, thereby producing a much more manageable -- and marketable -- edition of the Chronicle when compared to Koberger's weighty and expensive Imperial folio volumes. No doubt this direct competition was one reason Koberger's heirs still had copies of the original edition for sale in the 16th century. The map of Germany with place-names in Latin is present here. Because it lacks in many copies and is the same block as that used for the German edition of 1500 (with place-names in German), it was probably produced for this edition slightly later, about 1500.
