A propos de cet article

Rare second printing (of two) published in 1554, recognizable by the damaged “e” in the work “aller” in the title, and two (instead of 1) edge breaks in the woodcut on the title page. There were two other editions published in 1542 and 1553 in Nuremberg, and a later edition in 1555, also published by Georg Merckel. 4to (17.5x12.5 cm). With title woodcut. 12 pp. Sig. A-C4 (A1, title, unsigned, A2 incorrectly signed B2). Modern stiff vellum binding with yapped edges, toned. Small faded stain to lower margin of A1-2, faded damp stain to text block edge noticeable from C gathering, last leaf slightly soiled with hole at upper margin just touching one letter but not affecting legibility. Bookplate and collection number of Paul Wallich, notable banker and book collector. A very nice copy of a rare work in the dance of death genre. VD 16, S 560; cf. Goed. II, 426, 129 u. Weller, Hans Sachs 205 (both inaccurate). Per USTC only 8 copies in institutions, 1 in the US (U Penn). *Will also include a copy of David Paisey’s English translation: ‘Death, an end of all earthly things.’ (1998). A fascinating work about a man dreaming of death through poetic dialogue with allegorical figures. Calling first upon his physical attributes, such as youth, beauty, and strength, he finds each are useless against the ravages of death. Moving on to more social and practical features, such as art, lust, medicine, and friendship, he finds each provides only brief solace but no full respite against death. It is only when he encounters Hope, Faith, and Love is he roused from his dream (and fear) of Death. The figures he encounters are: Death, youth, beauty, health, strength, audacity, reason, art, lust, medicine, happiness, the world, violence, nobility, glory and honor, wealth, friendship, a spouse, children, virtue, court, greed, gluttony, anger, envy, inertia, and at the end various female characters: Repentance, Confession, Penance, Hope, Faith, and Love. Hans Sachs was one of the most prolific and popular German poets of the Renaissance, with an estimated output of over 4,200 Meistersongs (more below), 73 folk songs, 1,700 rhyming couplets (208 are plays), and 7 prose dialogues. Despite this immense body of work, he also was a master tradesman and successful shoemaker until his death. Meistersingen (master singing) was a form of spoken word or sung poetry that followed a set of 32 highly regulated rules such as number of syllables, syllable rhythm, and line rhythm, on which a singer was judged. Sachs may be most remembered, however, for his poem in support of Martin Luther and the Reformation titled ‘The Wittenberg Nightengale’. Having returned to Nürnberg in 1516, a year before Martin Luther posted his 95 theses, Sachs observed the development of the Reformation’s early beginnings in the city, and had easy access to all of Luther’s works printed in Nürnberg and Wittenberg, which he likely read and collected.…
