The text itself calls for only thirteen prints - each leaf of text, except the first two and the last one, ending with the rubric 'Sequitur secunda (- tredecima) figura' (these coincide with the ends of chapters 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 14, 16, 17, 18, 19, 21). |

$a This work was first published in 1498 in two editions - one German, the other Latin - including 15 woodcuts with letter-press on the versos. A sixteenth cut - the title-leaf - has been added for this 1511 Latin edition. The cuts have been admired not only for their own technical and aesthetic qualities, but also for the marriage which they make with Koberger's printed text. The first cut shows not the Revelation of John but St. John's martyrdom. The second to thirteenth cuts, called for by the text, and the fourteenth and fifteenth cuts, all show visions described in the Revelation. The sixteenth cut, added for this edition, gives the title and shows St John writing next to the Woman with the Moon. |
