Description
Wem der Gebrandt Wein nutz sey oder schad und wie er gerecht oder fälschlich gemacht sey. [Augsburg?], 1559, 4to (173 x 121mm.), 4 ll., woodcut on title of a couple harvesting grain, modern vellum-backed boards, foot of each page cropped with some loss of last line, repairs in text of first 2 leaves with very slight loss, a few small wormholes and light staining
Footnote
Note: An apparently unique copy of an unrecorded edition of this poem about brandy. Folz, a surgeon and barber in Nuremberg, was the author of several poems (many to do with public health), farces and plays; he also worked as a printer. The assignment of this edition to Augsburg is based on the woodcut, which is either a copy or a reworking of a block which was once owned by the printer Heinrich Steiner, who had gone bankrupt in 1547.
