Basel: Johannes Bergman, 1497. Paperback. Very Good. [Basel: Johannes Bergman, Aug. 1, 1497]. The leaves are from Locher’s Latin edition. The blocks used by Locher are the original ones cut for the first edition of the Narrenschiff (1494). The woodcuts have some spots otherwise these are excellent and highly detailed allegorical impressions of medieval life - comical depictions of foolish and sinful human behavior. Woodcuts including, “Mock speaking and babbling,” “The fool oppressed with their own folly,” “The extortion of knights,” and “Foolish cooks and butlers.” Foolish cooks mounted, the other three tinted in possibly a contemporary hand. (Size: 210 x 150mm.)
