(Hain, 8944) Mainz, 1491 70 00

The first edition with a date, and beyond all comparison the finest illustrated edition of the Hortus Sanitatis. It is likewise the rarest. Not only the large woodcuts, but many of the smaller ones may be regarded as effective works of genre drawing. There are, besides the illustrations of the herbal and the animal kingdom, woodcuts of doctors and patients, and workmen at their various labours, as well as incidental accessories in treatment which raise this book beyond the ordinary level of an illustrated work of popular science.

The colophon contains a contribution to the history of typography. After mention of Mainz, it goes on with in which most noble city was first invented this most subtle art and science of characterising or printing. Meydenbach is believed to have been a son of the man (similarly named) who cut the letters for the Psalter of 1457.

Venice, J. and G. de Gregoriis, 1495 39 0
Most of the woodcuts in this book exhibit a wonderful triumph of
design, and must take the front rank among the best examples of
Venetian wood engraving towards the close of the fifteenth century.
Nothing but the Poliphilo can be put in line with it. Copies of the
Ketham have now become very rare.

"The design is undoubtedly by an artist nearly related to Gentile
Bellini. The figures are from twelve to fifteen centimetres in height,
and-especially the heads-drawn with much skill. There is a
statuesque ease in the arrangement of the compositions, which gives
them an appearance of relief, and harmonises admirably with the
