DER EDELSTEIN (THE PRECIOUS STONE) BY ULRICH BONER. PRINTER ALBRECHT PFISTER AT BAMBAERG, GERMANY - FEBRUARY 14, 1461
Usually printed in 3 - 5 business days
The Boner edition is preserved in a unique and complete copy in the Duke August Library at Wolfenbuttel, Germany. It was completed on St Valentine's Day 1461. It was printed in the B36 type (those of the 36-line Bible). The woodcuts in the single surviving copy were hand-colored at the time. The animal drawing is crude: it is hardly possible to tell a wolf from a dog, or a horse from a donkey. The lion is closer to a heraldic beast, and unlikely to scare anyone.
