Johannes Stumpf
Schweytzer Chronick: Das ist / Beschreybunge Gemeiner loblicher Eyd-gnoschafft Stetten / Landen / Völcker und dero Chronick-wirdigen Thaaten [...]. 13 parts in four vols. Zürich, Johannes Wolf, 1606. With illustrated woodcut title, a title page each surrounded by coats of arms, some, partly doublepage maps, numerous genealogies and woodcuts, depicting coats of arms, ancient inscriptions, portraits of emperors on coins, views of Swiss cities and battle scenes. DCCLXX sheets. Not collated. Contemporary vellum with reddish edges.
H 34, W 23 cm.
Johannes Stumpf (1500 - 1577/1578), a theologian and chronicler from Bruchsal who lived and worked mainly in Switzerland, wrote a richly illustrated Swiss chronicle, which was published for the first time in 1548 and republished in 1606. Most of the woodcuts in this visually stunning work were created by Heinrich Vogtherr the Elder (1490 - 1556). Numerous maps, coats of arms, coin portraits and illustrations of historical events, such as battles, constitute the majority of the depictions. But also unusual subjects, such as a genealogical tree of the Turkish rulers (first vol. sheet XIIII), a depiction of the knight Heinrich von Winkelried with the dragon he vanquished near the village of Wyler (third vol. sheet DXXIII), illustrations of Roman inscriptions in the abbey church of Saint-Maurice in the Valais (fourth vol. sheet DCLXXV verso) or a view of the city of Basel (fourth vol. sheet DCXCIX) complete this extensive testimony to an early modern, humanist understanding of the world.
Provenance: Library of the last Prince-Bishop of Basel Franz Xaver von Neveu (1749 - 1828); after his death it became private property of the family of Neveu, Durbach.
Literature: VD17 39:124186M.
