1492 - Hand-colored Incunable Leaf from the Chronicles of Saxony

Description: 1492 - Hand-colored Incunable Leaf from the Chronicles of Saxony Click images to enlarge Description 1492 - Hand-colored incunable leaf from the Cronecken der Sasson (Chronicles of Saxony),  In 1492, a year before the famous Nuremburg Chronicle, the rarest of the early European “world” histories was published, the Chronicles of Saxony. Its author was a goldsmith, Konrad Botho (Conrad Bote), and it was printed in Mainz, the last work of the famous Peter Shoeffer, who had learned the craft as an apprentice with Johannes Gutenberg. Although the Cronecken begins with the creation of the world and includes a section about Noah’s Ark, the work focuses on the history of Saxony and is written in low-middle German. It includes illustrations of important regional cities and portraits of ruling families along with their armorial bearings. The book’s two unknown woodcut illustrators are referred to as Masters H and HR. The vibrant hand-colored illustration featured on this leaf (7½” x 10½”) shows the union of the house of Brunswick-Göttingen with that of Jülich-Berg through the marriage of Duke Otto I and Margareta, the daughter of Count William II of Berg. A hand-colored illustration of Bishop Albrecht and his coat of arms is on the reverse. Otto I was known as Otto the Evil because he was continuously feuding with other regional rulers, frequently several at the same time. He died excommunicated and was buried in unhallowed ground, leaving his impoverished dukedom to his son Otto II #10249     View My Other Items For Sale Payment PayPal is preferred for both US and international payments. Other methods of payment may be possible. Shipping Domestic Shipping. Most orders are shipped to locations in the US at no additional cost. If not, shipping costs are set at a flat rate on an item-by-item basis. Media mail shipping--when available and appropriate--is inexpensive but may take between two and four weeks, especially if delivery is to the west coast. If a quick delivery is important to you, please request USPS Priority Mail or some other expedited delivery service before paying. International Shipping. International shipping is usually done through the eBay Global Shipping Program. I know that this can be expensive, but I've switched to this method because I've had too many claims of non-receipt by international buyers. If you contact me in advance of purchase it may be possible for me to ship directly to you. If I ship directly, I will only ship overseas using a trackable method; this can be expensive, and it is non-negotiable. Also, I will only enter true information on customs forms; if you have a problem paying your nation's customs fees, that is beteen you and your government, I have nothing to do with it. If you pay by PayPal, I will only ship to the shipping address specified by PayPal. All shipments are covered by my business insurance at my expense, however if you would like to purchase additional USPS insurance at your expense, let me know, and I'll adjust your invoice accordingly.
