his laureate’s wreath, ancl r. the privilege granted to Stabius by the
Emperor, dated 1515, printed in ten lines in Rornan letter, and framed
in an ornamental design of vine-leaves. All the inscriptions are cut on
the wood. The whole design is cut on two blocks, each measuring 645
X 425 mm.
[645 x 850.] Good modern impression.
Presented by tke Direotor of tlie Imperial Library, Vienna, 1848.
The block is preserved, with many others which belonged to Stabius, in the Hof-
bibliothek, Vienna. Impressions were published in 1781 as no. 12 in Sammlung
ver&chiedener Holzschnitte, etc. Other impressions were taken in 1847 for tlie purpose
of presentation, and were printed with far greater care. Bartsch did not include the
woodcut in his Diirer catalogue, and Retberg relegates it to the appendix. It is not
signed, but the drawing of the ornaments and of the winds is nearly good enough to be
Diirer’s. Dr. Giehlow, however, attributes the winds to Hans Diirer. The map, as
such, is discussed by Sotzmann, loc. cit. pp. 247-255.

B. 151. H. 1924. R. 216.
The constellations of the northern heavens, drawn in shapes corre-
sponding to their names, and arranged within a circle divided into twelve
segments, each of thirty degrees, are surrounded by the signs of the
zodiac. In the corners without the circle are the astronomers Aratus,
Ptolemy, Manilius, and the Arab Azophi (Alsuphi), represented as half-
length figures emerging from clouds and each holding a sphere. At the
top, outside the border-line, is the title, “ Imagines cceli Septentrionales
cum duodecim imaginibus zodiaci,” in Gothic letter, cut, like all the other
inscriptions, on the block.

f THE CELESTIAL GLOBE—SOUTHEBN HEMISPHERE. (Eirst block.)
(Reproduction.)
Lithograph by Retberg (25 copies printed, see Naumann’s Archiv, xiv, 126, 30) from
the unique impression in the Munich Cabinet of a first block of this subject, which
differs from the ordinary block in the position of the hare’s forelegs, the number of
stars in Orion’s belt, and other details, fully described by Retberg, Krit. Verz. no. 215,
and Naumann’s Archiv, xiv, 57. R. writes carelessly when he identifies this woodcut
(Naumann’s Arcliiv, xiv, 126) with B. 150. It seems rather that B. knew nothing of
the Munich variant of his no. 152, and that he wrongly described as a distinct woodcut,
no. 150, what is, in reality, only a late edition of no. 152.
