I'm still getting caught up from being on vacation, but here are a few links to some interesting looking books.
Brunschwig, Hieronymus: Destilierbuch, Frankfurt [ca. 1565] [VD16 B 8730]
A book on distillery with detailed drawings of the equipment and furnaces used in the process. The cover of the book is quite interesting too, as its dark velum with white text!
Bock, Hieronymus: Verae, atque ad vivum expressae imagines omnium herbarum, Straßburg 1553 [VD16 B 6027]
An herbal book, with detailed drawings of plants with their Latin and period German common names
Georgijevic, Bartolomej / Herold, Johannes: Türkey, oder von yetziger Türken Kirchengepräng, Sytten und leben, Basel 1545 [VD16 D 3043]
I think this is a Turkey travel guide for merchants. It has a section containing a Turkish-German glossary, as well as Turkish sentences and German translations. Very interesting.
Regiomontanus, Johannes: Kalender, Straßburg 1532 [VD16 M 6542]
Astrological calendar for 1533.
Goldwurm, Kaspar: Kirchen Calender. Ein Christlich vñ nützlich Buch Jn welchem nach Ordnung gemeiner Calender die Monat Tag vnd die fürnembsten Fest des gantzen jars mit jrem gebrauch Auch der Heiligen Apostel vnd Christlichen Bischoff Leerer vnd Martyrer Glaub Leben vnd bestendige bekantnuß ... kürtzlich verfasset vnd mit schoenen Figuren gezieret ... Caspar Goltwurm Athesinus., Frankfurt/Main 1559 [VD16 ZV 26109]
Church calendar for 1559
Cranach, Lucas (der Ältere) Rhau, Georg: Hortvlvs animae, Mit schönen lieblichen Figuren ; 1547, [Wittemberg] 1548 [VD16 R 1687]
Printed Book of Hours, illustrations done by Lucas Cranach the Elder.
