Page from a German language copy of Mirabilia Romae
472853 Page from a German language copy of Mirabilia Romae, Historia et Descriptio Urbis Romae by Pseudo-Aegidius Romanus, possibly published by Ulrich Han, Rome, c.1475 (woodcut and pen & ink on vellum) by German School, (15th century); 14.5x10.6 cm; Private Collection; (add.info.: Rediscovered copy of the earliest printed guide-book, a practical guide to pilgrim sites in the eternal city. Probably the earliest printed edition of this text in German.
Mirabilia Romae refers to two distinct texts, which have been subsumed under one title, owing to their transmission together in many manuscripts. The Mirabilia proper is on the wonders of Rome, and the Historia et Descriptio is, as its title indicates, a history and guide to the holy city. Although its ultimate aim was devotional in that it facilitated pilgrims worship in churches around the city, it contains much secular, even art historical, detail in its descriptions of more than 80 churches and the relics contained therein.
