472850 Pages from Mirabilia Romae, Historia et Descriptio Urbis Romae by Pseudo-Aegidius Romanus, published by Andreas Freitag, Rome, not before 1485 and not after 1489 (woodcut & print) by Italian School, (15th century); 14x10 cm; Private Collection; (add.info.: Copy of the earliest printed guide-book, a practical guide to pilgrim sites in the eternal city. Its wallet style is particularly evocative, being light, flexible and well suited to fit the pocket of a contemporary pilgrim (see 472852).
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.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases pages from the renowned "Mirabilia Romae, Historia et Descriptio Urbis Romae" by Pseudo-Aegidius Romanus. Published in Rome by Andreas Freitag between 1485 and 1489, this woodcut and print masterpiece is a true gem of the Italian School from the 15th century. Measuring at just 14x10 cm, this private collection piece holds immense historical significance as it is a copy of one of the earliest printed guide-books ever created. Designed to assist pilgrims on their spiritual journey through Rome, its compact wallet style adds an evocative touch. Light, flexible, and perfectly sized to fit into a contemporary pilgrim's pocket (as seen in image 472852). The title "Mirabilia Romae" encompasses two distinct texts that have been merged due to their frequent transmission together in manuscripts. The first part focuses on marvels found within Rome itself while the second part serves as both a history lesson and guidebook for navigating the holy city. While primarily intended for devotional purposes aiding worshipers visiting over 80 churches and their sacred relics, it also offers valuable secular insights including art historical details. Notably, the woodcuts featured here are repurposed from a German-language blockbook edition dating back to approximately 1475. This exquisite photograph captures not only the beauty but also preserves an important chapter in printing history.
