Toutes les enchères / Livres, Cartographie & Manuscrits / Conrad Lycosthenes - Prodigiorum ac Ostentorum Chronicon - 1557
Rare and attractive leaf with 3 beautifully hand-coloured woodcuts from one of the most famous Renaissance books on prodigies and extraordinary natural phenomena printed in Basel 1557. These early woodcuts depict reported supernatural events and celestial omens, including opposing cavalry beneath a strange sun and stars, ancient chests discovered near Milan, and fiery armed figures allegedly seen in the sky near the Rhine in 1554. The leaf originates from the celebrated Renaissance chronicle of wonders by Conrad Lycosthenes, Prodigiorum ac Ostentorum Chronicon (Basel, 1557) and draws on classical and medieval sources of its time such as Sebastian Münster, Conrad Gesner, Cardano and Paracelsus. The work reflects the Renaissance fascination with unusual natural phenomena, monsters, mythical creatures and other marvels of nature at the crossroads of early science, astrology and natural history. Dimensions: 26,7 x 19 cm Good condition, small wormhole in white margin with old restoration.
