DÜRER, Albrecht (1471-1528)
Underweysung der Messung mit dem Zirckel und Richtscheyt in Linien, Ebnen und gantzen Corporen. Nuremberg: Hieronymus Formschneider, 1538.
Scarce second and augmented German-language edition of Dürer's first book on the theory of art, written and illustrated by the artist himself. The work is entirely reset, and includes not only the woodblocks of the first edition of 1525, but a number of woodcuts which appear here for the first time. These include one showing an important perspective instrument, invented by Jacob de Keyser and used by Dürer to draw in conjunction with one of Dürer's own inventions, the perspectograph. The two tools are illustrated respectively on the recto and verso of folding leaf Q3. VD16 D 2858; see PMM, 54 (for the original 1525 edition).
Folio (303 x 202mm). Collation: A-P6 Q4, with P3-4 a folding double leaf, and Q3 folding, illustrated throughout with woodcuts, some full-page (folding flap extensions to illustrations on P5v and P6r pr P3-4 provided in modern facsimile, folding double leaf P3-4 with old tape repair over letterpress on verso with some slight loss of a few letters, final leaf mounted onto free endpaper, textblock split at final leaf, leaves P6-Q1 reinforced at gutter, variable light marginal dampstaining, heavier to gatherings H-K sometimes into text and images, occasional light browning). Contemporary German binding of vellum panelled in blind over wooden boards (short split to spine, extremities heavily rubbed, lacking clasps). Provenance: W.R. (initials in ink on title, in an early hand).
