With wide historiated woodcut title-border, full-page woodcut portrait of Rotenhan, full-page woodcut of his coat-of-arms, and a large woodcut criblé initial at beginning of dedication, few smaller initials. 12 unn. leaves, 58 leaves, 2 unn. leaves. Folio. Full dark brown morocco, gilt fillets on sides and back, gilt-lettering on spine, gilt inner dentelles (sign. Baum). Mainz, Johann Schoeffer, August 1521. First edition of Regino's chronicle, particulary valuable for information on the period from 741 to 906; the continuation to 967 is probably by Adalbert, archbishop of Magdeburg; edited by the humanist Sebastian von Rotenhan (1478-1534). The work leads from the birth of Christ to the time of Emperor Otto II. Regino (died in 915) became abbot of Prüm in 892. His "Annales" merit our respect as they are one of the earliest attemps to write a world history in a continuous narrative. The two full-page woodcuts show a portrait of Sebastian von Rotenhan and his richly decorated coat-of-arms, surmounted by a cockerel and the motto "nosce te ipsum", the title-border shows seven smaller scenes at head and sides, and one large scene at the foot. The attribution of the fine woodcuts to Conrad Faber von Creuznach has been questioned by Brücker (1963). In their bibliographical record from 2015 the Bavarian State Library names Albrecht Dürer as artist. At the end there is a letter from Rotenhan addressed to the humanist Wolfgang Fabricius Capito (or Köpfel, 1478-1541). - Title and last leaf verso slightly dust-soiled, otherwise fine. - VD 16 R 599; STC (German) 728; Adams R-276; USTC 690311; Brunet IV, 1182; Würdtwein, Bibliotheca Moguntina, p. 153-54 (in detail). HISTORY (KULTURGESCHICHTE) ;

With woodcut title border, full-page woodcut portrait of Rotenhan, full-page woodcut of his coat-of-arms and white-on-black decorative initials. Folio (280 x 210 mm). 12, 58, [2]ff. 19th century blue wrappers (spine faded, a few tears).  First edition of the medieval chronicle of Regino, Abbot of Prüm. It originally ended in 906 but was continued until 967 by a Trier monk, probably Adalbert von Magedeburg. The editor, humanist, cartographer and jurist Sebastian von Rotenhan (see ADB XXIX, 299 ff.), whose impressive woodcut portrait is printed towards the end of the work, dedicated his edition to Emperor Charles V. ?Abbot Regino of Prüm (d.915) was the last great historian of the Carolingian Empire, which spanned around a million square kilometres of continental western Europe during the eighth and ninth centuries. His Chronicle is the essential account of the empire?s collapse, while its brief continuation by Adalbert, archbishop of Magdeburg, is one of the key accounts of the rise to power of the Ottonians, the first great German dynasty? (Maclean). The present work is wonderfully illustrated. Alongside Anton Woensam?s four-part title border with scenes, at the foot, from the story of Lucretia, are two crisp, full-page woodcuts at the end of the work, showing a richly detailed half-length portrait of Rotenhan, and his coat of arms opposite (not in Muther). While the arms have been attributed to Dürer (see Passavant, III, no.319) Heller categorises them and the portrait under ?Incorrectly attributed works? (see Heller, Dürer, II, no.2144, under ?Blätter, welche irrig zu den Dürerischen Kipferstichen gerechnet werden?). In a close study of the style in this and other works, Else Thormählen has instead attributed the arms and the portrait to Conrad Faber von Creuznach (d.1552-53), active in Mainz between 1517 and 1523, and known to have worked with Schöffer on other works, and for other portraits (including Hutten and Erasmus). ?For Schöffer, in addition to other work Faber also drew two full-page woodcuts, a portrait and a coat of arms of the author Sebastian von Rotenhan in 1521. Rotenhan was Hutten?s brother-in-law. He died in 1519.? Thormählen writes that the portrait was likely only created after Rotenhan?s death, due to the uncertain modelling of the cheek (Thormählen, p.148). Provenance: title with ownership note from the monastery of St. Ulrich and Afra in Augsburg. Some dampstaining to upper margins; browning or some staining here and there, waterstaining to last leaf.
