Summary
| Description |
English: Woodcut print with hand-colouring of St Christopher from Buxheim on the Upper Rhine dated 1423. The print is held in the John Rylands Library in Manchester : it is preserved as an endpaper in a manuscript dated 1417 from Bohemia, the Laus Virginis. This is generally regarded as the earliest dated woodcut in Europe, although the date on the print could simply commemorate a particular event in that year.
The inscription in latin can be translated "In whatsoever day thou seest the likeness of St Christopher, In that same day thou wilt from death no evil blow incur". First owner : Carl Heinrich von Heinecken (1706-1791). Français : La xylographie colorée à la main datée de 1423 intitulée Saint Christophe est conservée dans la collection Rylands de la bibliothèque de l'université de Manchester. C'est l'estampe datée la plus ancienne d'Europe. L'inscription peut être traduite ainsi :
« En ce jour tu vois l'image de St Christophe, en cette même journée aucun mal ou coup mortel tu ne craindras. » |
