About This Item
Nuremberg (Oakland: Octavo), 1532; 1538; 2003. 1st edition. Other Binding. New/No Jacket (as issued). Digital facsimile (in electronic PDF format on CD-ROM disc; not a printed book) of two important works on art theory and instruction by Albrecht Durer. This addition to the celebrated Octavo Digital Editions series reproduces a sammelband volume containing the first two books of Durer's Von menschlicher Proportion in the Latin translation of 1532, as well as the second, expanded edition of his Underweysung der Messung (1538). It includes images of both works, cover-to-cover in unprecedented resolution (may be magnified at up to 300% of original size), full searchable English translations of the text (by Silvio Levy and Walter L. Strauss), an introductory commentary by David Price, bibliographical information, and a detailed provenance (the binding of this copy bears the arms of Holy Roman Emperor Rudolf II). Unsold original stock, minor storage wear.
