Memoria Maxima. The legacy of Emperor Maximilian I (1459-1519) is presented in this catalogue of his books, including Theuerdank, Weißkunig, Freydal, and others. The story of Maximilian’s broad cultural impact is told through the notable copies that reside in the Bibermühle collections, including five first editions of the Theuerdank from 1517, the “lithographic incunabulum” of Albrecht Dürer’s designs for Maximilian’s prayer book, and a contemporary portrait of the Emperor.
