AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
“Kurtz Handtbüchlin und Experiment vieler Artzneyen”, Walter Herman Ryff 1579.
Very rare medical and herbal book by Walter Herman Ryff, printed by Paul Reffeler in Frankfurt am Main.
Illustrated with numerous woodcuts, depicting various plants and anatomical drawings.
Bound in a green-dyed contemporary parchment cover. The binding is somewhat worn, and only traces of the clasps remain.
The book begins with the numbered leaf 4. The first 8 leaves at the beginning are missing, as well as the first three numbered leaves. Additionally, the last 2 unnumbered leaves are missing.
Leaves 4-6 are loose and have margin damage and some edge nicks. Leaves 7-10 are loosened and leaf 16 is missing. Leaf 62 has a small tear in the margin with minor text loss. Leaves 192 to 194 are loose.
The pages are slightly foxed and uniformly a bit browned throughout. Some pages also have some marginal tears outside the text. At the beginning, there are somewhat more noticeable stains.
Toward the end there are about two and a half described pages.
Collation: Without the first 8 leaves, 195 (of 198) numbered leaves, without the last 2 leaves
Dimensions: 14 x 9.5 cm
