Albrecht Dürer (1471–1528), German painter, engraver, and draftsman, was the most celebrated artist of the Northern Renaissance. His reputation spread throughout Europe during his lifetime, beyond his native city of Nuremberg, a thriving center of art and commerce. Like Leonardo da Vinci, Dürer became deeply involved in scientific and mathematical studies. Dürer’s application of scientific principles to the creation of art, especially as recorded in his Underweysung der Messung (Instruction in measurement), marks the beginning of art theory in Northern Europe. This Octavo Edition presents a sammelband (or volume in which multiple works are bound together) of the first two books of Dürer’s Von menschlicher Proportion (Four books of human proportions) in the Latin translation of 1532 (De Symmetria), along with the revised and expanded 1538 second edition of Underweysung der Messung. Other copies of this assemblage are recorded.
