2º (280 x 195mm). Woodcut title border, woodcut illustrations throughout, either one or two to the page, ALL COLOURED BY A CONTEMPORARY HAND. (First three and final two quires crudely remargined, minor losses to title border, g6 and C1 remargined and with tear through text, n3 with repaired tear through woodcut, o5 torn with loss to woodcut on recto and crudely repaired, o6 lacking, p1 torn with slight loss, z5 torn with loss of a few letters, other tears, repairs and remargined leaves, soiling to margins, occasional waterstaining.) 17th-century vellum (recased in the 19th-century but preserving two of the original endpapers which contain 17th-century manuscript notes, spine worn at extremities, covers restored and slightly bowed). Provenance: Philip Altgelt, 16 July 1623 (inscription on title; occasional annotations in his and other hands) -- by descent to J.W. Altgelt (inscriptions on front blank).
A RARE STRASSBURG HERBAL WITH CONTEMPORARY HAND-COLOURING THROUGHOUT. The Herbary oder Krüterbuch was first published in Strassburg by John Prüss in 1507. Renatus Beck brought out editions in 1515 and 1521; this was the first edition produced by Balthassar Beck who went on to republish this clearly popular and much used book in 1528 and 1530. The medical section of this work was probably by Johannes von Cuba, town physician of Frankfurt at the end of the fifteenth century. However, its beauty and true importance is seen in the illustrations. Arber argues that ‘the pictures in the Herbarius zu Teutsch are, on the whole, drawn with greater freedom and realism than those of the Latin Herbarius; these woodcuts form the basis of nearly all the plant figures for the next half century, being copied and recopied from book to book. No work which excelled or even equalled them was produced, until a new period of botanical illustration began with the herbal of Brunfels, published in 1530.’ Arber pp. 22-26; Choulant 25; Nissen BBI 2286; VD16 W 4360.
