Beschreibung : BREYDENBACH, Bernhard von (d.1497). Peregrinatio in terram sanctam, in German: Dis buch ist innhaltend die heiligen reysen gein Jherusalem. [Speier: Peter Drach, after 24 November 1502]. 2υo (297 x 209 mm). 48 lines. 3- to 4-line initial spaces, some with guide-letter. Full-page title woodcut of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, repeated on B5, large animal woodcut on verso of Jerusalem view, 12 other woodcuts of Near-eastern alphabets, people and costumes, 2 double-page city views of Parenzo and Corfu and 5 folding panoramic views of Venice, Crete, Modon, Rhodes and the Holy Land, extending to 4 sheets (Venice), 3 (Holy Land), or 2 (Modon, Crete, Rhodes). (A few minor marginal stains, a few minor repairs to plates at folds or inner margins, otherwise in fine condition.) 18th-century German half vellum. Provenance: Lord Amherst of Hackney (1835-1908), great collector of Egyptian antiquities and incunabula, including one of the finest sets of Caxtons which sold privately to J. Pierpont Morgan (bookplate, his sale, item 139) -- Charles Lemuel Nichols (bookplate) -- Acquired from Goodspeed's Book Shop, 1970. Third edition in German of an account of a pilgrimage to Jerusalem and the monastery of St. Catherine of Sinai undertaken by Breydenbach, Graf Johannes von Solms, Philip von Bicken and others in 1483-4. Following the traditional route, the entourage travelled from Venice to Corfu, Modon, Crete, Rhodes and Jaffa, before arriving in Jerusalem, and then through the Sinai desert to Mt. Sinai, Cairo, and Alexandria on the return journey. The woodcuts are close copies of the exceptional original blocks by Erhard Reuwich, which appeared in the first edition of 1486. The frontispiece has been omitted, and the Armenian alphabet is not present, as it was not in the 1486 edition. Based on the state of the woodcuts, this edition appears to have been printed after Drach's Latin edition of November 1502.
