More about the book

This first complete translation into modern English of 16th-century verses by Hans Sachs and engravings by Jost Ammam offers a vivid portrait of city life in Renaissance Germany. Covering 114 ranks (such as "king") and trades (including "thimblemaker"), it is a gold mine of insights into the society, values, and technology of the age, from the ordeal of dentistry to the contents of a locksmith's shop.
