This is the first Venetian edition of Rolewinck’s chronicle, and the first
book from the press of Georg Walch who is only known to have printed three books.
His chief interest in the history of printing is derived from the fact, that his Fasciculus
Temporum, including its beautiful woodcut-capital G on fol 9a and the cut of Venice,
was rather closely copied by Erhard Ratdolt. The text of this edition ends with the defeat
and death of Charles the Bold at the battle of Nancy, and his epitaph ‘Te piguit pacis
teduitque quietis in vita Hie iaces Karole iamque quiesce tibi’.
This edition is especially remarkable for its containing the first engraved
view of Venice, an actual design, not a conventional sketch; it shows the Palace
of the Doges and the Piazetta, and a boatman standing in a barge in the foreground.
Besides this there are views of Babel, Nineveh, Treves, Rome, Syracuse and ‘Cathina’.
Byzantium, Ostia, Athens, Cologne.
Notes of ownership on f. 2, some slight stains, but a very fine copy, unrubricated,
with the woodcut pictures, and circlets enclosing names of rulers, coloured.
