Discover the last great epic verse of the Middle Ages. Theuerdank follows the highly embellished “real-life” story of Emperor Maximilian I, the first modern-age ruler to employ print media as propaganda. This edition reproduces an extremely rare original, gathering all 118 gold-adorned woodcuts, revelatory essays, fascimiles, and a chapter-by-chapter retelling of the tales in modern vernacular.
