Wine & Beer.- Kellermaysterey. Gründtlicher bericht wie man alle wein Teütscher und Welscher landen vor allen zufallen bewaren..., Gothic letter, lacking final blank, 4 woodcuts in text my Hans Schäufelein (one repeated), depicting a man in a wine-cellar on title (aging), and scenes of harvesting and degustation, light browning, a little marginal water staining, light foxing throughout, paper flaw to A2, 16 leaves of contemporary manuscript notes in German bound at front, 7 containing a 'Rechenbuch' (calculation book) for traders offering examples of accounting for different goods and units of measurement in the form of tables, and 8 on calligraphy alphabets, nearly contemporary blind tooled calf, rubbed and scuffed, spine severely damaged, joints split, front flyleaf torn, [USTC 669733; VD K670; Simon, Bibliotheca Bacchica II 378 (only first and other editions); not in Bitting, Vicaire or Adams], 4to, Valentin Othmar, Augsburg, 1548. *** Extremely rare copy of this anonymous treatise on the production, storage and improvement of wines and other beverages, such as beer, vinegar, mead, wormwood, and brandies. The work was reprinted eleven times to 1560, often bound together with ‘Kuchenmeysterey’, the first German cookbook. The beautiful woodcuts by Hans Schaufelein, one of Albrecht Dürer's most gifted pupils, show the winemaker at his duties. The illustrations were originally planned for the Heinrich Steiner’s edition of the ‘Liber Ruralium Commodorum’ by Petrus de Crescentiis, but this work was never printed (see Campbell Dogson, ‘Schäufelein als Illustrator der Kellermaisterey’, in ‘Das Schwäbische Museum’, Augsburg 1928, S. 111f.). Very few copies of this and other editions are recorded in world libraries. We thank Prof. Dagmar Gottschall for assistance with the manuscript notes and her helpful comments that improved the research.
