Jacob Kallenberg, 1539: Depiction of the birth of Popess Johanna (woodcut from an edition of Boccacio's Insigne opus de claris mulieribus )

Jacob Kallenberg (* around 1500, presumably in Bern ; † 1565 ) was a painter and wood cutter .

Life

For the printer Matthias Apiarius he created nine woodcuts for an edition of Giovanni Boccaccios : Insigne opus de claris mulieribus , Bern, 1539. The woodcuts monogrammed with the initials 'IK' are ascribed to him. Kallenberg also supplied Apiarius with the woodcuts for the Catalogus anorum et principum sive monarchum mundi geminus plerisque in locis obscurioribus illustratus & in caelebrioribus locupletatus atquae a mendis, recognitione diligenti repurgatus , published in 1540 and 1550 . Cum accessione multorum aliorum quae in priori aeditione non continebantur ... by Anselmus Valerius Ryd as well as for the well-known folk book Schimpf und Ernst von (1546) by Johannes Pauli . Jacob Kallenberg was confused with Jakob Köbel early on because of his signature , especially because of his main work, which also called the flag book and which was published in 1579 under the title: Wapen, Des Heiligen Römischen Reichs Teutscher Nation, als Keyserlicher and Königlicher Mayestat, also of the Electors, Princes, Counts , Fryherrn, Rittern, and the several parts of Stätt so belong and have belonged to the empire (located in Teutschem Land). Also how, where, and by whom the nomination and coronation of a Roman king and keyser is to take place. With an explanation at the end of this book, how every coat of arms is to be painted. Now and again made in truck ; Frankfurt a. M., Johann Schmidt for Sigmund Feyerabend . The historian Georg Kaspar Nagler classified him as unknown.
