Content/index - Abstract

In his preface Rodler explains that he made his adaptation and simplification of the work of Dürer (Unterweysung der Messung, 1525), for the benefit of painters, sculptors, goldsmiths, embroiderers, masons and carpenters. The woodcut illustration on the title shows some of these craftsmen at work. It probably also depicts the patron of the press Duke Johann II at work. Johann II. von Simmern (1492-1557) Duke of Simmern installed a private press in his residence which produced a remarkable series of first eight editions including Rüxner's Thurnier-Buch (see lot 308). Rodler was one of the most celebrated publishers of illustrated books in Germany in the sixteenth century. He was the first to use the "Dürer" Fraktur as a text type.
