Only one of ten surviving copies contains these pen and ink drawings, whose function - whether preparatory drawings for woodcuts or autonomous drawings - has long divided art history. A second edition with woodcuts by Hans Schäufelin was produced at the same time. This study records the surviving inventory of the prayer books and traces the history of their creation.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Deutscher Verlag für Kunstwissenschaft","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":65938041504093,"sku":"3-87157-269-1","price":99.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1081\/8620\/6557\/files\/Lange-Krach2026_9783871572692_1_cover.jpg?v=1789560091","url":"https:\/\/gebrmann.de\/en\/products\/das-neue-gebetbuch-kaiser-maximilians-i-in-seiner-entstehung","provider":"Gebr.
