Handlung und Thaten, Mit neben einführung sonst anderer mehr Alter und Newer, Zum theyl bey noch Menschen gedencken ergangener Merckwürdiger Historien und Geschichten Jetzo durch Georgen Klee von Manßfeld in Folio. I: [11] f. + 452 + (1 blank) II: 248p + [16]f. index. Titles in red & black with oval woodcut printer's device. Three-quarter page woodcut of dedicatee's arms. 30 half-page woodcut portraits after designs by Tobias Stimmer surrounded by a variety of richly historiated cartouche borders, ornamental tail-pieces. Contemporary German pigskin over wooden boards, decorated in blind with roll borders comprising leaf and portrait motifs (the latter dated 1548); remnants of metal catches. First German language edition of Giovio s Lives of Famous Men, an invaluable source for the Renaissance historian. The translator, Georg Klee dedicates his work to Joachim Friedrich Margrave of Brandenburg. The first part of this collection comprises the earliest biographies of outstanding condottiere : Alfonso d Este Duke of Ferrara (1486-1534), commander of papal troops under Pope Julius II, whose artillery enjoyed a worldwide reputation, the great Sforza dukes of Milan (Giacomuzzzo Attendolo (1369-1424), Galeazzo Maria (1444-76), Gian Galeazzo (1469-94)), Gonzalo Fernándo de Córdoba (1453-1515), Great Captain of the Spanish forces in Italy, governor of Naples, considered first of modern generals who formed the Spanish infantry of the 16th and 17th centuries, and Fernando Francesco Davalos Marquis of Pescara (1489-1525), commander of imperial troops at Pavia (1524) who captured the French King François I. The second part includes the lives of Popes Leo X and Hadrian VI, Cardinal Pompeo Colonna, and those of their enemies the expansionist Turkish rulers Selim and Soliman, as well as the biographies of nine other outstanding sultans. The last chapter Ordnung und Regiment des Türckischen Kriegs is an account of the organisation of the Turkish army (pp242-248). Paolo Giovio (1483-1552), Bishop of Nocera, is renowned for his relative impartiality as an historian and as a journalist who personally interviewed many of his great contempories. His Lives were inspired by his famous portrait collection in his villa on Lake Como (now lost) on which the woodcut illustrations are based. The noted Strassburg artist Tobias Stimmer (1539-84) drew some of the portraits during a visit in 1571-2, which were first published in the Latin edition of 1575-7. (See Thieme-Becker XXXII, 58). Some light toning mostly confined to text areas owing to poor paper quality, otherwise a good copy preserved in a handsome German decorated pigskin binding of the period; some 17th century ownership entries (1644) on first blank leaves (partly erased); first title with a few tiny isolated wormholes.
