Description

Reisch's illustrated encyclopedia compiles information from various branches of medieval knowledge: grammar, logic, rhetoric, arithmetic, geometry, astronomy, and philosophy as well as the natural and human sciences. Compiled by the Prior of the Carthusians at Freiburg and confessor of Emperor Maximilian I, the text is not highly original but rather represents a synthesis of earlier authors. There are many anatomical woodcut illustrations.
