Description

Albrecht Dürer (1471–1528) was hailed in his lifetime as a founder of the Northern Renaissance, and his work revolutionized the art of printmaking.

Dürer was also the first artist outside Italy to leave behind a large body of writing.

Contemporaries and succeeding generations added their accounts of him to this documentary legacy.

Jeffrey Ashcroft’s new book provides the first English translation of the whole corpus of Dürer’s writings; the legal, financial, and administrative documentation of his life and work; and what others wrote about him during his life and in the following century.

Translations of primary documents are accompanied by extensive commentary, providing Anglophone scholars access to German-language research.

This unique combination of documentary evidence, current research, and exhaustive bibliography will doubtless become a definitive source for students and scholars of Dürer and his work, as well as for historians of early modern culture, language, and literature.
