TENGLER, Ulrich (1447-1511) and TENGLER, Christoff (fl. early 16th-century). Der Neü Leyenspiegel. Augsburg: Hans Otmar for Johannes Rynmann, 1512.
The enlargement of Tengler’s layman’s guide to the law—with a new section on witchcraft and new full-page woodcuts by Hans Schäufelein, the second edition. Originally written by Ulrich Tengler as a guide to legal self-representation, the book was revised after his death by his son Christoff. The younger Tengler updated the text, adding a new section on sorcery and witchcraft with large excerpts from the Malleus Maleficarum and with illustrations including a full-page cut depicting various forms of witchcraft. Many people, he notes, did not even believe in witchcraft—making it particularly difficult to prosecute. Adams L336; Dodgson p. 11, no. 4; Hollstein 799-803; Proctor 10691.
Folio (304 x 202mm). 33 woodcuts, including repeats, 6 of which by Hans Schäufelein and the rest signed HF, most full-page and one double-page; woodcut initials and diagrams (occasional marginal paper repairs, light soiling, small repair with loss to final woodcut). Modern brown stamped morocco (rubbed at joints and edges). Provenance: Joannes Carolus Roppan (inscription dated 1782).
