A propos de cet article

Quarto (12.75" x 8" x 2"), blind tooled leather over wood boards. This volume of Simon Schardius' collection of four medieval chronicles was published in Frankfurt in 1566. The chronicles contained in the volume had previously not been published. The texts included are: Iohannes Turpinus de vita Carlo Magni et Rolandi. Rhegino Abbas Prumiensis Diocesis Treviren. Sigebertus Gemblacensis eiusque continuator Robertus de Monte. Lambertus Schaffnaburgensis, alias Hirsfeldensis dictus. Simon Schard (Lat. Schardus) (1535-1573) was a German jurist, historian, and philologist. The first work is identified as being authored by Johannes Turpin, which refers to Tilpin, archbishop of Reims (c. 748-794). He was long believed to be the author of this History of Charlemagne and Roland, which is now believed to have been authored much later, likely in the thirteenth century. Thus the text is now often identified as being by Pseudo-Turpin. The second text is the Chronicle of Regino of Prum (c. 842-915). Regino was a chronicler and taught at the monastery of Prum, where he ultimately became a monk. He became abbot there, but was removed in 899, when he went to Treves, where be became the abbot of Saint-Martin. His famous chronicle, contained in this book relates the history of the world beginning with the advent of Christianity up to the year 906. The third text is the Chronographia of Sigebert of Gembloux (c. 1030-1132), director of the monastic school at the abbey of Saint-Vincent de Metz. The Chronographia is a universal chronicle of the most important events from 379 or 381 to 111.   The final text is the Annales of Lambert of Hersfeld (c. 1025-c.1085). Little is known about his biography, but his Annales traces the history of the world beginning from its creation until 1077. This work is a particularly good source for the life of Henry IV of Germany. Also contained in the text are an introductory letter composed by Schard dedicating the work to to one Johannes Albertus, identified in the title of the letter as "prince and lord, D. Iohannes Albertus, Megalopolan duke, prince of the Henetes, Suerinus, Rostochius, and Stargardia." There is printing error at the top of one page of the introductory letter. The heading at the top of each page identifies it as the "epistola nuncupatoria" save for one page where "historia nuncupatoria" has been printed, presumably in error. There is an index at the end, and a brief biography of each author following the work of Johannes Trithemius, abbot of Sponheim and the Bibliotheca of Conrad Gessner, his attempt at a universal library, following the introductory letter. This copy is in Fair condition. The title page and the first three folios have been completely separated from the binding, and while present, are loose. The title page also appears to have been printed on a different kind of paper from the rest of the folios. The fourth folio has also largely detached. The front hinge is badly cracked, and the back hinge is also cracked, though less so. The back pastedown has partially worn away, exposing some of the old folios used in binding beneath. The leather covering the boards has significant loss in places but the lovely repeated blind tooled pattern is still able to be appreciated. There were originally metal clasps, remnants of which are left on the front, but which have disappeared completely from the back. As a result large sections of leather to which they were attached have been removed. Towards the end the folios have increasingly dark water stains primarily at the bottom, but also at the top corner, however, none of these impact any of the text. …
