Item Details

Description

Historische Chronick oder Beschreibung der merckwurdigsten Geschichte so sich von Anfang der Welt... bis 1659
(Historical chronicle or description of the strangest story that happened from the beginning of the world... until 1659.)
by Johann Ludwig Gottfried
2 volumes
Facsimile edition of
Frankfurt, Hutter ; 1743-44
Stutgart: Fackelverlag; 1979
Fully illustrated
massive folio: 8.5 by 13.5"
Yellow leather bindings.
Text in German
Excellent interior, minor wear of bindings.

Johann Ludwig Gottfried was a German theologian, translator, and author who created one of the most widely read historical works of the early modern period. Born in Amberg, he studied theology in Heidelberg and was soon recognized by a publisher in Oppenheim for his skill with the written word. First published in 1631, his Historical Chronicle or Description of the Most Remarkable History enjoyed great popularity throughout the 17th and 18th centuries and was even studied by Goethe.
An improved and expanded second edition including more recent historical events was published in 1743 and is presented here.
Gottfried’s work is distinguished not only by the quality of his chronicle, but also by his translations and his composition of epigrams, compilations, and paraphrases.
156 small portraits and 328 copperplate engravings by Matthaus Merian the Elder artfully adorn the comprehensive text with accurate cityscapes and dramatic historical scenes such as the Defenestration of Prague, sieges, battles on land and sea, assassinations, executions, and more. Some of the engravings are double pages while others, including maps, fold out.
