So I'm playing catch up tonight on all the old BSB finds I've made, some from this last summer!


Wickram, Jörg: Kurtzweil, Straßburg 1550 [VD16 W 2403]


Whoever illustrated this book had the oddest sense of humor. Plenty of extremely humourous anthromorphic illustrations, some of them make me laugh and laugh. Lots of period satire, some of which is still understandable today.
Plenty of good clear drawings of musical instruments that we often don't get a good look at: pipe organs, lutes, drums and pipes.

BiblioOdyssey covered this back in September



Geiler von Kaysersberg, Johannes: Der bilger mit seinen eygenschafften, auch figuren, (The characteristics of a pilgrim, with figures )
[Augsburg] [14]94 [BSB-Ink G-59 - GW 10587]

A Some really great pictures in this one, especially if you are into pilgramages or business!
Pg. 23 A hat seller, where the pilgrim buys his pilgrim hat. Also you can clearly see that he's got his hosen rolled down around his knees.

Dancing couples and the the Pilgrim
Eating at an inn on the road



Kalender, Iatromathematisches Hausbuch, Augsburg 1487.10.09. [BSB-Ink K-5 - GW M16021]

A book of the seasons, calendar and astrology calendar, with nice colored woodcuts, showing 1480's fashions and interiors.
