ROLEWINCK, Werner (1425-1502). Fasciculus temporum. [Venice]: Erhard Ratdolt, 1484.
Third edition edited by Ratdolt, based on the edition of 1481, enriched with a circular diagram with Jerusalem at the centre of the world (on leaf 2) and two numbered endpapers containing the genealogies of the Virgin and St Anne. This universal chronology is one of the earliest examples of 'hypertext', thanks to its annotations and complex typographic layout. The narrative follows a dual timeline, measuring time from both Creation and the birth of Christ, and uses an ingenious system of coordinated circles to place biblical, classical and modern rulers and authors within the historical flow. Printed several times in the 15th century since the first edition in 1470, each reprint has refined Rolewinck's revolutionary graphic design, introduced new improvements and updated the chronological sequence.
Folio, (320 x 210mm). 8 unnumbered and 66 numbered leaves, numerous woodcut illustrations depicting mostly city views and woodcut diagrams, as well as a world map and a popular engraving depicting Christ Taken to Heaven (small woodworm holes to the last leaves affecting the letters). 20th century vellum binding. Provenance: a few contemporary notes and manicula. (1)
