Albrecht Dürer (1471-1528) was hailed in his lifetime as a founder of the Northern Renaissance, and his work revolutionized the art of printmaking. Contemporaries and succeeding generations added their accounts of him to this documentary legacy. Durer was also the first artist outside Italy to leave behind a large body of writing.
Translations of primary documents are accompanied by extensive commentary, providing Anglophone scholars access to German-language research. Jeffrey Ashcroft s new book provides the first English translation of the whole corpus of Durer 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. This unique combination of documentary evidence, current research, and exhaustive bibliography will doubtless become a definitive source for students and scholars of Durer and his work, as well as for historians of early modern culture, language, and literature.
