Catalogue Note
A finely illustrated German edition, including a series of woodcuts about wine-making; the woodcuts are mostly based on earlier German translations as well as other herbals, "but by a better artist... or one possessing a better technique as well as a style of his own" (Simon, BG, p.42)
