Theuerdank

Das Werk ist von Kaiser Maximilian I. (1459-1519) in der Tradition des späthöfischen Versromanes zum Ruhm des Rittertums und seiner Dynastie entworfen. Es stellt eine Allegorie auf seine Brautfahrt zu Maria von Burgund dar. Die eigens dafür geschaffene Drucktype ahmt eine deutsche Kanzleischrift nach. Die erste Auflage war ausschließlich zu Geschenkzwecken bestimmt. Lediglich 40 Exemplare sind für hochgestellte Persönlichkeiten des Reiches auf Pergament gedruckt worden. Die Vergabe erfolgte erst nach Maximilians Tod auf Veranlassung seines Enkels Erzherzog Ferdinand.

This extremely rare leaf is from one of the greatest illustrated books of the first half of the sixteenth century. This extraordinary work was inspired and written with the assistance of the court poet, Melchior Pfinzing, in the tradition of the heroic epics, by Emperor Maximilian I [1459-1519]. This poem describes the courtship of young Maximilian (Theuerdank) and Maria, heiress of the Kingdom of Burgundy. The book was illustrated with 118 fine woodcut illustrations by Hans Burgkmair, Hans Schaeufelein and Leonhard Beck. Only 40 copies were printed on very high quality vellum by Hans Schoensperger and distributed to the emperor\'s friends. Kaiser Maximilian I., \'Theuerdank\', Nürnberg 1517.

Info

Do you want to sell your antique maps or atlases?

If you wish to offer us maps for sale, it is most helpful to provide a list of maps which includes the title of the map, the mapmaker, the size of the map (printed image only) and a brief condition report. Pictures are also very helpful. It is typically not necessary to send more than one picture per map, unless requested.
