BURGKMAIR, Hans (1473-1531). Images de Saints et Saintes issus de la famille de l'Empereur Maximilien I. Vienna: F.X. Stöckl, 1799.

2 o (399 x 282 mm). Letterpress title-page, five leaves of text. 119 woodcut plates. (Some scattered pale spotting.) 19th-century polished calf (a bit rubbed, joints weak). Provenance: purchased from Emil Offenbacher, 17 March 1954.

The Imperial Library at Vienna owned the woodblocks of 122 of these scenes from the lives of the saints, three of which had become unusable. The remaining 119 blocks were printed in 1799 from the original blocks, which had been commissioned by Emperor Maximilian I. Brunet I:1404.
