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 showing various plants and anatomical drawings.
Bound in a green-dyed contemporary parchment binding. The binding is somewhat rubbed and only remnants of the clasps remain.
The book begins with the numbered leaf 4. The first eight leaves at the beginning, as well as the first three numbered leaves, are missing. Additionally, the last two unnumbered leaves are missing.
Leaves 4–6 are loose and have edge faults and some marginal chipping. Leaves 7–10 are loose and leaf 16 is missing. Leaf 62 shows a slight tear in the margin with little text loss. Leaves 192 to 194 are loose.
The pages are slightly stained and uniformly somewhat browned. Some pages also have margin tears outside the text. At the beginning there are somewhat more pronounced stains.
Towards 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
