FENDT, Tobias (fl. 16th c.). Monumenta Illustrium per Italiam, Galliam, Germaniam, Hispanias, totum denique Terrarum Orbem eruditione praecipue, & doctrina Virorum . Frankfurt: Sigismund Feyerabendt, 1585. 2 o (301 x 200 mm). Printed title within engraved historiated architectural border by Jobst Amman, and 128 etched plates on stubs (inner and outer margins of title reinforced). Contemporary French flexible vellum gilt with the double lambda in corners and within central leafy arabesque on covers, flat spine in seven compartments, each containing gilt double lambdas, edges gilt. Provenance : Louise-Marguerite de Lorraine (1533-1601), wife of Henri III (binding); "HDD" (monogram stamp on title); acquired from Bernard Quaritch, 1985. Second edition, BOUND FOR LOUISE-MARGUERITE DE LORRAINE. Siegfried Rybisch, a prominent citizen of Breslau in Silesia, commissioned the local artist Tobias Fendt to engrave this suite of etchings from a collection of sketches of funeral monuments and epitaphs which Rybisch gathered on a visit to Italy. Among the numerous illustrations from Roman antiquity the work juxtaposes monuments to Classical authors and famous Romans, as well as includes illustrations of monuments to humanists from Northern Europe, such as Erasmus, Ulrich Hutten and Melancthon. It was originally published in Breslau in 1574. This reissued edition includes two leaves of new introductory text and a new decorative title leaf designed by Jobst Amman. A third edition appeared in 1589. VERY RARE: according to American Book Prices Current no copy of this edition has appeared at auction in at least the past forty years. BM/STC German , p. 300; Berlin Kat. 3673 (1574 edition); Cicognara 4008 (1589 edition: "Una preziosa serie Opera di qualche rarità, la quale conserva alcune memorie già perite e disperse").
