Description

Dürer’s closest friend, Wilibald Pirckheimer (1470–1530), was Nuremberg’s leading humanist scholar. As a favor to Pirckheimer, Dürer designed the armorial bookplate that the scholar pasted into his books, including this copy of a popular Confessionale: defecerunt scrutantes scrutinio (06961) by St. Antoninus of Florence, printed in Cologne, c. 1472.
