Essays on the Fabrica

Two New Fabricas Found

Thanks to the new, updated union catalogue of Austrian libraries, we were able to find two new copies of the Fabrica in Vienna, a 1543 edition at the Museum for Decorative Arts and a 1555 edition at the University of Vienna. The 1555 edition comes from the Viennese Jesuits, while the 1543 edition was once owned by Joseph Daniel Böhm, an important medallist from the 19th century, and both have some, minor annotations. Full descriptions are now available amongst our updates.
