Technique: Woodcut on Laid paper
Date: 16th century
Size: Laid paper: 29,2 cm x 16,5 cm (11,5 x 6,5 in)
Description: Unusual depiction of an armed knight on horseback, in the garb of a Gallic eque. Page 155/156 of a book, with Latin text on verso. Titled above the depiction: "EQUES GALLICUS", German: Gallischer Reiter, from Latin equus 'horse', plural equites, traditionally translated as 'knight'. Book illustration from the famous and very beautifully illustrated chronicle of the early European tribes up to the 15th century: "De aliquot gentium migrationibus sedibus fixis, reliquiis, linguarumque, initiis (et) immutationibus ac dialectis", Basel, 1557 (about the migration of peoples). The work is a valuable source of information on the early history of European tribes, taking into account their customs and social structures as well as their religious beliefs. It also includes early references to figures from the Nibelungenlied. The work is illustrated with twenty-one exceptional woodcuts based on drawings by the author.
From the hand of Wolfgang Lazius, humanist scholar and important figure in Vienna as well as in the history of cartography. He wrote the first printed city history of Vienna with sheets engraved by himself and was professor of medicine at the University of Vienna. He also produced a land description of Hungary as a cartographer.
