Wohlgemut was Albrecht Dürer's tutor in the early years between 1486-90. Since the young Dürer was active in Wohlgemut's printing shop during the time the woodblocks were produced for the Nuremberg Chronicle, he may also have collaborated in the production of the book, some of the woodcuts bear a remarkably close resemblance to his 'Apocalypse' illustrations.

Hierosolymæ, cura Neemiæ ducis instauratæ descriptio. Brocardi, Villalpandi.

image

TORNIELLO, Augustino..

Origin: [Milan?, c.1610.].

Two plans of ancient Jerusalem on a single sheet, each measuring 320 x 210 mm. Orientated to the north. The left one is after Brocardus and the right after Villalpando. Geographically there appears to be no difference between the two plans, however the plan after Brocardus has a number of places named along the left side. Mount Calvary is shown on both maps outside the walls. There is no attribution as to the author of this particular engraving, it is of better quality than others of similar style. Similar to the Torniello plans of 1609 and the Quaresmius plans of 1639.The only references I can find are to Franciscus Quarismus and the Antwerp publication 'Historica, theologica et moralis Terrae Sanctae elucidatio' of 1639 and that of the earlier Torniello. This example however, is different in quality and style, being a superior engraving.

Condition: Uncoloured; some light staining mainly to the margins, minor age-toning, otherwise overall good to fine condition.
