Provenance: partially legible early signature on back flyleaf, Ex libris Andreas Zwy---; inscription in a different early hand on front flyleaf: ich l?bte [lebte] und weiss nit wie / ich stirb und weiss nich w?n / ich fahr[?] und weiss nit wohin[?]? (this popular German saying, incorrectly attributed to Martin von Biberach, was called by Luther the ?rhyme of the godless?).*** First Edition of Walasser?s modernized adaptation of a late medieval allegorical romance of the soul?s marriage to Christ, in an illustrated pocket edition from the first press of Dillingen. The compiler Adam Walasser was not a cleric, but a writer for hire, who worked as ?content producer,? editor and proofreader for Sebald Mayer from the time the press was founded in 1550 until 1573, when, along with Mayer?s son Johann, Walasser helped the Tegernsee Benedictines set up their own monastic press. His charge for Mayer was to produce copy, by editing, translating, reworking, or completing existing printed or manuscript works, in order to further the Counter-Reformation program of the press?s patron (and eventually owner), the Cardinal-Prince-Bishop of Augsburg, Otto von Waldburg.?The hard-working Walasser (who also had experience as a printer) also produced a few works of his own, and left dozens of works of Catholic religious devotion, Counter-Reformation polemics, and a couple of books on German heraldry and language. The B?chlein der geistlichen Gemahelschaft, a didactic allegory in rhyming couplets, by one ?Konrad of Vienna,? identified as the Viennese Franciscan Konrad Spitzer (d. 1380), circulated in manuscript in the late 14th and 15th centuries. A prose version written ca. 1418-1430, known in a few illustrated manuscripts, was printed in Augsburg by Johann B?mler in 1477-1478 (GW 5666-5668) and later by Johann Sch?nsperger (GW 5669). B?mler used the title Buch der Kunst, dadurch der weltliche Mensch mag geistlich werden ("the Book of art by which the worldly person can become spiritual"), hence the word Kunstb?chlin, usually reserved for practical manuals, in Walasser?s title. Walasser used one of the B?mler editions as his copy-text. In his dedicatory letter to the powerful Abbess of the Imperial Abbey of Buchau (Maria Jakoba, from the noble family of von Schwarzenberg und Hohenlandsberg), he describes his labors after receiving an ?old book? from an ?honorable person in Konstanze,? who suggested that he republish it; it ?delighted him as if it were a noble precious treasure,? for he found it filled with the Gold and Silver of Christ?s teachings (fol. A6r-v). Walasser followed the B?mler text, modernizing the language, omitting a few words and phrases and adding others, and added chapter numbers and a final table. The tale of seven virgins, one of whom is chosen to marry the King, is an allegory of the eternal struggle between good and evil (God and Satan). The bride is led through temptation and is accompanied on mystical visits by the allegorical figures of Hope, Faith, and Wisdom. The latter teaches her ?the theocentric worldview? (Verfasserlexikon) through seven secret words. The final magnificent wedding, prepared by ten more virtuous maidens, represents the unification, through baptism, of the soul with God. The symbolic meanings of the plot developments are helpfully spelled out in printed shoulder notes. The story is used as a framework for teaching the basics of Christian doctrine, of Creation, the Passion, and the Sacraments. Using this old tale for Counter-Reformation messaging was a way to beat the Protestants at their own vernacular game, by instructing while diverting the literate lay reader unversed in Latin (often a woman). The many woodcut illustrations are smaller copies, some in reverse, of the cuts used in B?mler?s editions. Whereas B?mler used some of his blocks more than once, there are no repeats in Mayer?s edition, and while the cuts showing the virgins in action are all copied from the incunable editions, there are some divergences in the sections on the Passion and other ?generic? passages. A few of the woodcuts, which are more heavily shaded than the others and/or are narrower than the text-block, may have come from Mayer?s stock and been used in other works. The cut on 51v, stylistically different from the others, is signed BP; this monogrammist?s woodcuts appeared in other books by Walasser (cf. Nagler, Monogrammisten I:1992). No doubt in part because of the rarity of the Dillingen editions, the source of this work does not seem to have been previously recognized. Although four more editions appeared during the next 30 years, all are rare, with none represented in American libraries.
