Die Luzerner Chronik des Diebold Schilling 1513 (Complete Collection of Original Facsimile Sheets Used for the 1981 Reprint of Schillings 1513 Manuscript) with "Die Schweizer Bilderchronik des Luzerners Diebold Schilling" & Various Ephemera from Prof. Dr. Eduard Studer

NP, n/d. Softcover. 1) Facsimile sheets (loose): Total of 680 leaves in fold-out with 443 pages of color reproductions from original 1513 manuscript. Prints were proof copies owned by Prof. Eduard Studer, who was one of the editors of the 1981 reprint by the Faksimile Verlag. Sheets printed on recto and verso, uncut with color strip on top- and bottom edge of each leaf. High quality facsimile with plates in rich vibrant colors. The 1513 manuscript is the most impressive of all chronicles by the Schweizerische Eidgenossenschaft, giving an important insight into the political, social, economic and religious life of the middle ages in Lucern. Chronicles such as these were important in medieval Europe's societies, reflecting wealth and economic power but more importantly, giving invaluable historical insight of the time for later generations. The text describes the history of the Eidgenossenschaft from its beginnings, focusing on the time period between 1474 - 1513. Two artists were chosen by the Eidsgenossenschaft to illustrate the work: Diebold Schilling the Younger (before 1460 - 1515(?) and Luzern painter Hans von Arx. Schilling's illustrations are in slightly richer, more vibrant colors with a Gothic look whereas Arx's images are in lighter colors with an influence of the style of the Renaissance. The plates illustrate events such as Schilling presenting the city officials with his chronicle, building of churches in the community, conflicts and wars of the time, the Black death, anti-Semitic images of Jews burning at the stake in Augsburg, Jews during a "Ritualmord" on a young boy, as well as many other images of daily life in medieval Switzerland. After several years of hard work, Diebold presented the "Luzerner Schilling" (Luzerner Chronic) to the city council on January 15th, 1513. It is the most important contribution to the historiography of his times. "Die Luzerner Chronik des Diebold Schilling aus dem Jahr 1513 gilt als schönste alte Bildchronik der Schweizerischen Eidgenossenschaft. Sie ist ein bedeutender Spiegel des politischen, gesellschaftlichen, wirtschaftlichen und religiösen Geschehens einer Stadt und eines Landes im Mittelalter."
