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).
