De Nobilitate et Rusticitate Dialogus. Ejusdem de Switensium ortu, nomine, confederatione, moribus et quibusdam [...] gestis (et alia opuscula)
Johann Prüss, Strasbourg n. d. [between 1493 and 1500], in-folio 20 x 28 cm, (4 f.) 152 ff. erroneously numbered CLI – Sig: (1) A3 a-c8 d-z6t8, recased in an old vellum

First edition, edited by Sébastien Brant. Woodcut figure to leaf 77 representing the Wheel of Fortune. The initials in this copy have been left blank. Numerous contemporary underlinings and manicules as well as voluminous marginal notes.
Recased in an old vellum binding, spine in five compartments. Faint dampstain to outer margin throughout the book. A few wormtracks without significant loss to letters.
Hemmerlin (1389- c. 1460) was a precursor to the Reformation. Canon of Zurich in the first half of the 15th century, he praised the virtues of the nobility and the rustic lifestyle. He also recorded 146 verses from Konrad von Mure, written in the 12th century, which survive only in his version.
An important and erudite work on the emergence of the Swiss Confederation.
A very good copy.
