Dutch Incunabula - Werner Rolevinck, The Ark of Noah - 1480 / Description: Incunabula sheet with hand painted rubrifications and initials in red. Sheet from the Dutch translation of Werner Rolevinck, "Fasciculus tempororum" , printed in 1480 and published by Johann Veldener in Utrecht. The sheet is with no doubt from this edition as no other Dutch reprints are known. The First edition in Latin printed by Arnold Therhoernen (1474) Larger oldcoloured woodcut of the Ark floating on the water. Indication of the use of the compartments in Dutch: The section for the tamed animals, the section for the birds and humans, the section for the wild animals. / Dimensions: 5,00 x 11,60 cm -- 28,00 x 20,00 cm sheet / Condition: A laid paper sheet in good condition. Moderate thumbing to the left corner. / Literature: Essling 277; Sander 6526; Goff R-261 ----- As a rule, incunables are not known for their exuberant look and content. However, the chronicle Fasciculus temporum is a positive exception to this general rule. It is a masterpiece, both in terms of typography and illustrative art. As a rule, incunables are not known for their exuberant look and content. However, the chronicle Fasciculus temporum is a positive exception to this general rule. It is a masterpiece, both in terms of typography and illustrative art. It goes without saying that religious views and opinions played a major part in Rolevinks’s history of the world and it is therefore not surprising that it starts with God’s creation of the world. The text is illuminated with many beautiful woodcuts. For instance we find illustrations of Noah’s Ark, the city of Nineve, the Ark of the Covenant, the tabernacle and many Biblical genealogies. But also ‘profane’ matters and cities are immortalized such as overviews of the royal families of France and England and cities including Rome, Constantinople, and London.... The incunable is a Dutch translation, printed in 1480 and published by Johann Veldener, publisher in Utrecht. There were no other Dutch reprints which suggests that the work was less popular in the Low Countries. Possibly Veldener was already involved in the first print of 1474, which rolled off the press in Cologne at Arnold Therhoernen. ..... the Fasciculus temporum is a synthesis between the religious and worldly history, a form quite common in the era of Humanism. However, emphasis is on the non-profane history, not surprising considering Rolevinck’s background. As sources for his text he used the Chronicon Pontificum et Imperatorum by Martin von Troppau, the Speculum historiale by Vincent van Beauvais and the anonymous Rudimentum noviciorum. ... (source of the description: Special collections - Utrecht University) / Medium: Woodcut on incunabula printed page /Circa: 1480
