Ryd, Valerius Anselmus, 1475-1547? · 1550 · Ex magnifica Heluetiorum urbe Berna : [Matthias Apiarius] · 47 pictures

A 1550 chronology printed in Bern by Matthias Apiarius, compiled by Valerius Anselmus Ryd, tracing world history from creation to the author's day for scholars and readers of history. Its woodcut panels show biblical figures and scenes, including a patriarch with a scepter, a kneeling figure before a robed man beside a walled town, a crowded tent-and-throne scene, and a city in flames seen past armed men, giving designers a compact vocabulary of early modern woodcut hatching, crowds, and architectural backdrops.
