STUMPFF, Johannes (1500-1578).
Gemeiner loblicher Eydgnoschafft Stetten/Landen und Völckeren Chronick wirdiger thaaten beschreybung. Zürich: Christoffel Froschauer, 1548.
First edition, from the library of Count Joachim von Ortenburg, an ardent Lutheran reformer. While primarily a chronicle of and chief authority on Switzerland, Stumpff’s history begins with concise histories of Europe in general, as well as Germany and France. It contains 13 maps and is extensively illustrated with woodcuts, including an early printing shop identified as Schoeffer’s, numerous city views – those of Switzerland the first realistic views of Swiss cities, scenes of cheesemaking, the William Tell legend, and others. The majority of the fine woodcuts are the work of Henrich Vogtherr, with the armorial cuts by Hans Asper. The maps were copied by several later mapmakers for regional atlases of Switzerland, and the 10 smaller Honter maps first appeared two years earlier in his Rudimenta cosmographica. Historian and one of the most important personalities of the Swiss Revolution, Stumpff began his research in the 1540s, journeying throughout the country. After its first publication in 1548, the chronicle was enlarged in editions of 1586 and 1606, but the woodcuts are at their finest in this, the first edition. The original owner of this volume was Count Joachim von Ortenburg, ruler of a territory in Bavaria where he introduced the Reformation in 1563 (see M. Miller, Reichsgraf Joachim von Ortenburg und seine Bu¨cher, 2020). VD-16 S-9864; Nordenskiöld Collection 239.
Folio (384 x 235mm). With the 3 blanks. Title printed in red and black. 5 double page maps, 18 maps by Stumpff and Johann Honter in the text, profusely illustrated with woodcut scenes, portraits, coat-of-arms, etc., printer's device on title (short marginal tear in Hh6, marginal paper flaw in ee1, tiny hole touching one letter in QQ5, neat tear into text without loss in fff5 and into map without loss on KK2, very occasional small stain). Contemporary blindstamped pigskin over bevelled wooden boards, 2 fore-edge clasps, plain edges with letter ‘A’ written on top edges, index tabs (minor scuffing). Provenance: Joachim von Ortenburg (1530-1600), inscription with motto ‘Eil mitt weil’ dated 1564.
