About This Item
ILLUSTRATED VERNACULAR MIRROR OF PRINCES, SATIRIZING A HOST OF TRADES AND STATIONS IN SOCIETY. The woodcuts show courtiers and criminals, artisans and aristocrats, cooks and chancellors.
Shaped by the author's long service to the Prince Elector of Pfalz, the poem recasts the fable of the wolf and the lamb to highlight the injustice of poverty. Court Life inspired Hans Sachs, Protestant interpretations of Reynard the Fox and the proverb collections of Franck, Lehmann, Schottel and Eyring
THIS IS THE FIRST APPEARANCE OF SEVENTY-EIGHT LINES OF NEW TEXT ON CROSSBOWMEN and the cruelties of war by an unknown poet. Only half of the eight printings to 1620 are held in U.S. libraries. In good condition, seven lower margins partly or wholly untrimmed.
