Title in banderole at top of print.
Single woodcut leaf; signed, Hans Rüst and with his mark of a cross surmounted by a crescent; probably cut by him (from an unidentified design) in Augsburg, Germany in the last quarter of the 15th century (ca. 1475-1482). Sometimes cited as Hans Riist.
Sheet dimensions: 40 x 28.2 cm, trimmed, with slight losses to the left and right sides.
Printed on 1 sheet of chancery paper.
See Hassinger, R. Deutsche Weltkarten-Inkunabeln, 1927, who considers the St. Gall and Würzburg maps, by Hanns Preifmaler = Hanns Sporer to be slightly later copies of this (Morgan-Hans Rüst) map. Rüst was a cartographer and woodcutter who worked at Augsburg in 1472-1497. A single woodcut leaf "The Death" by him is in the Print collection at Munich. For bibliography see note laid in with map.
A slightly later, nearly identical map was produced by Hanns Priefmaler (i.e. Hans Sporer), at the National Gallery of Art, 1943.3 645, similarly previously glued inside the front cover of a book.
When purchased this map was pasted on the inner front cover of Strabo, Geography (Venice: Vindelin de Spira, 1472), PML 19291/ChL 730; this cover, containing the map, has since been removed from the volume and catalogued separately.
