  • Description: Based upon the Herbarius, printed by Schöffer in 1484 (Goff H62). Sometimes incorrectly treated as a German translation of the Hortus Sanitatis, a later different work, first printed by Jacob Meydenbach in 1491 (Goff H486), that was also based on the Herbarius. Cf. Goff. Edited by Johannes von Cuba. Title from first line of text on leaf [2]r. Imprint from Goff. Colophon (leaf 359v) reads: Disser Herbarius ist czu menc[em] gedruckt vnd geendet uff dem xxviij dage des mercem. Anno. M.cccc.lxxxv. Signatures from GW: [a-z]⁸ [A-Y]⁸; final leaf blank. Printed on Median sized paper in one column; 42 lines to a full page; area of text: 195 x 122 mm. With initial spaces without guide-letters; without signatures, foliation, or catchwords. Printer's device at end. Contains nearly 400 woodcut illustrations, mostly of plants and a few animals. Full-page wood-cut illustration on leaf [1]v depicts an assembly of 13 physicians, 3 seated, in front of a 2-pillared arcade; at left is a fruit tree, at right is a palm tree. Cf. Schreiber. Conserved 2020-02 Amber Hares, Conservation Center for Art & Historic Artifacts The front board was released from the textblock mechanically by cutting the intact spine linings along the joint. The leaves in the first and last sections were collated in graphite on the recto to maintain order. The first and last sections were released from the textblock by cutting the sewing thread. The threads were retained. The detached sections were cleaned with additive-free polyurethane cosmetic sponges and a soft brush to reduce surface soil, avoiding sensitive media. The glassine mends on the recto of the frontispiece were released to the extent possible mechanically. Deionized water was used along the outer edge of the glassine tapes in a few select areas where it could be introduced without disturbing the media. It was applied with a slightly damp cotton swab. On the detached leaves, vulnerable tears were mended, losses were filled, and split spine folds were guarded with untoned and acrylic-toned mulberry paper and a mixture of wheat starch paste and methyl cellulose. Mends that overlapped manuscript ink were mended with hydroxypropylcellulose (Klucel G) in ethanol. Mends on the recto of the frontispiece were toned in situ with colored pencils. Acrylic-toned mulberry paper hinges were adhered to the stub of the detached sections with a mixture of wheat starch paste and methyl cellulose. New handmade paper hinged stubs were wrapped around the outside of the first and last section. The parchment spine linings were released mechanically and retained. Previous leather repairs at the head and tail of the back joint on the interior were lifted to the extent possible mechanically and retained. Splits along the back joint at the head and tail were mended from the interior with acrylic-toned cotton and a mixture of wheat starch paste and ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA). The spine was cleaned of spine lining residue and adhesives mechanically and with a methyl cellulose poultice, taking care to preserve the sewing and sewing supports intact and avoiding contact of the supports with moisture. The pastedowns along the spine edge were lifted mechanically in preparation to reattach/reinforce the attachment of the cover. During the process, the areas of the pastedown/patch linings that were previously misaligned when readhered were released. The distorted ends of the alum-tawed thongs along the front joint were lightly humidified in-situ in a sandwich of Gor-tex and damp blotter and then reshaped to correspond with the round of the volume to the extent possible. The spine was consolidated and lined with mulberry paper and wheat starch paste, avoiding the sewing supports. Frayed vegetable-fiber cords were looped and knotted around the existing alum-tawed thongs to extend the original supports. The gaps in the broken thongs at the back of the volume were filled with loose cotton fiber to the extent possible. These areas were then mended and consolidated with mulberry paper and a mixture of wheat starch paste and methyl cellulose. The first and last sections were reattached to the textblock, anchoring them to four previous sections (the two subsequent sections and the fifth and seventh sections from the front and back) with unbleached linen thread around the extended and original sewing supports, using a herringbone stitch and the original sewing holes. The spine was lined with two layers of cloth patch linings that extended over the shoulders with a mixture of wheat starch paste and EVA. The turn-in along the head of the back board was cut at the spine edge to prepare for reinforcing/reattaching the boards. The wooden boards were lightly primed with a mixture of a 6% gelatin mousse and wheat starch paste in areas where the extended cloth would be set down for board reinforcement/reattachment as detailed in the following step. The front board was reattached and the attachment of the back board was reinforced by adhering the outermost extended cloth hinge to the boards beneath the lifted skin and the innermost extended cloth hinge to the boards beneath the lifted pastedown with a warm 6% solution of gelatin. The extended sewing supports at the front were attached around/on top of the slips of the original thongs on the board with the same adhesive. The gap in the spine leather was bridged with a piece of acrylic-toned cotton adhered to the interior of the covering skin with a mixture of wheat starch paste and EVA. The cloth was lined at the interior with a piece of heavyweight mulberry paper just over the boundary of the area of loss with the same adhesive mix. At the back both interior paper hinges were adhered beneath the lifted pastedowns with wheat starch paste. At the front, the paper hinges were adhered with the same adhesive, but the western paper hinge was adhered beneath the pastedown and the mulberry paper hinge was adhered over the pastedown following the next step. The lifted pastedowns and the areas of the pastedown/original patch linings that were released in step 13 were readhered to the boards with wheat starch paste, avoiding manuscript areas. The bridged gap in the spine leather was filled with acrylic-toned cotton blotter and a mixture of wheat starch paste and polyvinyl acetate (PVAc). This area along with other vulnerable areas of the cover were mended with acrylic-toned mulberry paper and a mixture of wheat starch paste and PVAc to the extent necessary for stabilization. Mends were toned in-situ with dilute acrylic paints. The mends over the spine were consolidated with methyl cellulose. The leaves of the textblock were selectively surface cleaned with additive-free polyurethane cosmetic sponges and a soft brush to reduce surface soil, avoiding sensitive media. Vulnerable tears and losses to the leaves were mended and filled with untoned and acrylic-toned mulberry paper and a mixture of wheat starch paste and methyl cellulose. Klucel G in ethanol was used in areas where the mends overlapped sensitive media. The remaining original binding fragments were placed in a custom-made inert polyester sleeve along with two before-treatment images of components of the binding that are covered up by the treatment.
