"un certain nombre d'exemplaires de cette premiere edition
ont ete tires sur tres beau Velin."
"on a remarque entre les exemplaires sur Velin et les
exemplaires sure papier quelques differences, soit dans
l'orthographe de certains mots du texte, soit dans les
monogrammes des planches; cependent ces deux tirages se
rapport ent a une seule et meme edition."
- paper ed. rarer than the velum one. Graesse VII 106
The paper from sig. p onwards appears to have been specially
made, for the watermark is a large double eagle with arms of
Austria + Burgundy. Before sig. p the watermark is a kind
of anchor within a circle.
woodcuts - the same blocks were used in the subsequent
editions - Hugsburg, Frankfurt, Ulm (last 1693)
The entui series used to be assigned to Schaufelein, some
of the cuts being signed with his mark, but researches in
recent years show that, more reasonably, the set is the
work of several hands. S
1) Hans Leonhard Schaufelein (c1480-1539 or 40) 20 cuts
2) Hans Burgkomaiu (1473-1531) 13 cuts HB
3) Leonhard Beck (d.1542) 77 cuts (88-101)
+ 4 other artists (8)
