HUTTICH, Johann (ca 1480-1544)]. Imperatorum et Caesarum vitae, cum imaginibus ad uiuam effigiem expressis , [Strassburg: W. Koephel], 1534. Two parts in one, small 4 o (184 x 131 mm). 2 titles within woodcut borders, 268 medallions of Emperors, woodcut illustrations and decorations, woodcut printer's devices on Y6v and final leaf. (Lacking Y6 blank, tear crossing image on A1, some soiling.) Contemporary vellum (some minor staining). Provenance : Heinrich Röttinger (bookplate); acquired from Bernard Quaritch Antiquarian Books, 1971. Fourth edition, but the first with the supplement which illustrates some 84 consular coins. It was first published by Koephel in 1525. Murray notes that the second part was likely not issued with all copies, and that the title border, used in Koephel's 1525 edition of Homer, represents Homer, Calliope and other figures. The series of cuts commences with Julius Caesar and ends with Frederick III, Maximilian I, his son Philip the Fair, Charles V and Ferdinand I. Most are enclosed within ornamental borders by Hans Weiditz and the cuts seem to have been adapted from Fulvio's Illustrium imagines (Rome, 1517). Adams notes that the date 1537 on dd4 appears to refer to a projected book De consulibus . Adams H-1247; Brunet III, 391-2.
