'25. S. CORBINIANUS EPISCOPUS FRISINGENSIS.' (Saint corbinianus, bishop of Freising.). Saint Corbinianus commands the Duke Grimoald and his wife to end their marriage. Next to him a tame bear. Corbinian's symbol is the saddled bear. According to legend, a bear killed Corbinian's pack horse on the way to Rome and so the saint commanded it to carry his load. With an 8-line caption in Latin below the image. Copperplate engraving on hand laid (verge) paper. Watermark: Double headed eagle (not visible on every sheet). Sheet size: 19,5 x 27,5 cm. (7,7 x 10,8 inch). Image size: 15 x 21,5 cm. (5,9 x 8,5 inch). From 'Bavaria Sancta ...', by Matthäus Rader, published in Munich. From the original first ed. published 1615 (vol.1), 1624 (vol.2) and 1627 (vol.3). Most plates from vol. 1. Plates were sold bound as such but also sold individually. Very scarse. This hagiography work was commissioned by Maximilian I (1598-1651) to memorize the holy dead and highlight the power of their relics and devotion as an attempt to rewrite Catholic hagiography in light of Humanist criticism and Counter Reformation. I was also a piece of propaganda to glorify Maximilian and his confessional, political and territorial ambitions.

Author: Matthäus Rader, a Jesuit from Tyrol, Professor of Rhetoric in Augsburg and later Munich. Engraved by Raphael Sadeler I (1560-1632) and his son Raphael Sadeler II (1584-1632) after Johann Matthias Kager (1566-1634) and Peter Candid. Condition: Very good, given age.
