Johannes Richenbach

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Binding with attribution, Thurgau Cantonal Library

Johannes Richenbach († 1486) was a German clergyman and bookbinder in Geislingen an der Steige . He is considered one of the most important bookbinders of the 15th century. In the 1480s he was supported in his workshop by his brother Bernhardin. Richenbach tied primarily for clergy from the area around Geislingen and Ulm as well as for those in Schwäbisch Gmünd . The dated covers date from 1467 to 1484.

After Konrad Forster in Nuremberg , Richenbach was the second bookbinder to choose lettering for his bindings. On the front cover he usually stamped the author and / or title of the work, in some cases the name of the owner. He usually provided the back cover with a self-confident signature like me richenbach or something similar. Richenbach had around 50 individual stamps whose other evidence refers to the Ulm area. He also had seven roles. He was probably the first bookbinder to use roller stamps. The unusual use of red and green painting on the font aimed at creating an aesthetic effect.

Life

Entries in the investiture protocols of the Diocese of Constance show that Johannes Richenbach received the chaplain fruition on the All Saints' Altar in the Geislingen parish church on September 22nd, 1463 . He must have died in the summer of 1486, as a successor was appointed on September 6, 1486 due to the death of Richenbach.

Bernhardin, in which one wants to recognize John's younger brother, also signed some bindings. On the binding of the Eichstätter manuscript st 193 it says: per me bernhardinum richenbach illigatum in gyslingen . Bernhardin studied in Tübingen in 1489 and worked with his brother in 1480 at the earliest. Its bindings are of much less quality. After John's death, he seems to have given up bookbinding. From 1480 he was also a chaplain in Geislingen, from where he went as pastor to Unterböhringen in 1492 , where he is attested in 1507.

Both of them are likely to have been bookbinding in order to improve their modest benefices financially.

List of bindings based on Scott Husby 2011

In 2011 Scott Husby combined the announcement of a Richenbach find in the Huntington Library with the publication of a list of all known bindings aimed at completeness: (R1) to (R56). It is the second count of the bindings. The first count goes back to Franz Falk , who compiled the first four volumes without having seen a single one himself. In 1910 Seymour de Ricci and Paul Schwenke, who provided an addendum (No. 10) , continued the count. Otto Glauning compiled 23 numbers in 1927 (taking over the count from De Ricci). The consecutive numbering established by Falk ended with the essay by Ernst Kyriss in 1944. The numbers 24 to 39 are added to the references in brackets below.

Under "Literature" only the first mentions / descriptions given by Husby in the literature, in the Richenbach special literature (by De Ricci, Glauning, Kyriss and Pingree) and in the most important incunabula databases (Bod-Inc, BSB-Ink, INKA) recorded. Further literature on the individual copies, if known, can be found in the notes.

evaluation

58 volumes are known that were bound by Johannes and Bernhardin Richenbach, 59 if you don't just count the two Salzburg bindings (R 23). Two bindings have been lost for so long that one has to assume a loss. Two volumes are inaccessible in private hands.

The dates of the volumes range from 1467 to 1484.

Most of the volumes are in Germany. The Württemberg State Library owns 11 volumes, the Bavarian State Library 5 (previously there were three more). Except for the two bindings in Leipzig (35, 54) only libraries in Baden-Württemberg and Bavaria have copies. In the USA there are 6 covers, in Great Britain 5, in Switzerland 4, in Austria 3 (all in Salzburg, 4 covers), in Denmark, the Czech Republic and the Ukraine one each. There are three volumes in private ownership (12, 42, 47). Existing monastery libraries also keep three volumes (6, 45, 49).

In terms of content, the bound works were geared towards the practical needs of secular priests active in pastoral care. 14 works alone are collections of sermons and other sermon literature (R 1, 3, 22, 26, 30, 33, 34, 36, 39, 40, 41, 47, 50, 53), 12 are Bibles and Bible interpretations (4, 6, 14 , 15, 18, 23, 24, 28, 43, 44, 52, 55), 7 are legends or writings about saints (19, 29, 33, 48, 49, 51, 58). Liturgy and liturgy explanations: 5, 31, 38, 46. Church Fathers: 9, 10, 12, 56. Other theological writings (8, 11, 16, 17, 18, 21, 37, 42, 45, 53) include editions of the handbook by Hugo Ripelin of Strasbourg (37, 42, 45), two prints that deal with the Jews deal (11, 18), and a salvation mirror (17). Classics and interpretations of classics: 2, 13, 35. Dictionaries: 20, 32. Canon law: 53. History: 27. Authors of the Italian Renaissance: 25. A single volume (7) contains German-language edification literature.

As for the places of printing, Strasbourg dominates with 18 volumes. The oldest five prints bound by Richenbach came from Strasbourg presses (R9–13). 9 incunabula were printed in Ulm, 5 in Basel, 4 each in Augsburg and Nuremberg, 3 in Blaubeuren, 2 each in Reutlingen and Speyer, one in Urach. Italy is only represented with one Milan print.
