Cl.-4°. 106 unnum. (quire numbering: A-C4, D6, E-Z4, a-c4). With 2 woodcuts in text and 6 woodcut initials on black ground. Restored lacquered leather binding of the period with gilt-stamped spine title, the covers with beautiful floral scroll stamps, with clasps. (Spine and corners renewed). VD16 H-6408, Goedeke II, 230, 19, Benzing, Hutten 120, Kuczynski 1091, the only edition of this collection of writings and speeches by Hutten (1488-1523), rare. With the exception of the preface and epilogue as well as eight letters, all writings refer to the assassination of Hutten's cousin Hans by Duke Ulrich of Württemberg. Of the 15 pieces, the "Pahalrismus" dialog is considered the most significant; it is the first dialog written by Hutten, who thus introduced this genre into the literature of German humanism. The "Phalarism" was first published in 1517, also with the Hutten portrait under the canopy, which is attributed to both Hans Schäufelein and the Petrarch Master, from whom the woodcut with the murder of Hans von Hutten originates and is printed here for the first time. With the exception of "Phalarism", all the writings are available in the first edition. "The fact that this collection was not printed at Steckelberg Castle ... is proven not only by the beauty of the print itself, which could not be achieved in an impromptu printing press, but also by a copy in my possession (with Schöffer's dedication to Peutinger)" (Böcking, Hutten XXIV,1). Hutten evidently wanted to protect the printer from possible persecution by instructing him to print the imprint in this way. The very beautiful initials come from the Livius edited by Hutten for Schöffer and are in the hand of Gabriel Zehender. Dampstaining throughout, the title page soiled and spotty and with a longer ownership entry dated 1750. On the flyleaf ownership entry Baron Per Hierta dated 1895.
