GRYNAEUS, Simon (1493-1541) and Johann HUTTICH (ca 1480-1544), compilers. Die New Welt, der landschaften unnd Insulen... iungst... von den Portugalesern und Hispaniern im Nidergenglichen Meer herfunden . Translated and edited by Michael Herr Strassburg: Georg Ulricher, 1534. First edition in German . 'A German translation by Michael Herr; it is less known and much rarer than the original. The version is somewhat broad, and is distinguished by a certain originality in expression. Although it has no map, it has, on the other hand, the merit of being augmented in the text. It contains a full translation of Peter Martyr's Decades, folios 174-229, and also his three books De Legatione Babylonica, folios 235-248, both wanting in all the different Latin editions. Besides, it contains all the pieces of the first Latin edition of 1532, except Münster's Introductio in tabulam geograph , to which the map belongs, and would, therefore, have been superfluous in this edition. The preface by Grynaeus is omitted...' (Sabin). Finely printed at a very uncommon and shortlived press (see Benzing, p. 415). Borba de Moraes I, 377; VD16 G 3830; Sabin 34106; Brunet IV, 132; neither in Adams, nor in BMC. Folio (302 x 197mm). Double columns. Partly wood-engraved title, dedication with woodcut dedicatee's arms, decorative woodcut initials and illustration, printer's device on title and at end. Contemporary blindstamped pigskin over wooden boards (clasps lacking).
