From the printer and bookseller Andreas Wechelus. Beautiful printer s device of Pegasus flying over a cornucopia & hands from clouds holding caduceus. He was active in Paris from 1554 to 1573 and in Frankfurt in 1573 to 1581. He took over the printer office of his father, Chretien Wechel, on Saint-Jean-de-Beauvais Street. He continued the editorial work initiated by his father and printed texts in Greek. In 1572 he escaped the St. Bartholomew s Day massacre thanks to his tenant Hubert Languet, a representative of Augustus, Elector of Saxony. This is his first edition work of the history of Louis XI & Charles VIII. Quite scarce. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers RAREE1578KPRA
