Albrecht Dürer war ein deutscher Maler, Grafiker, Mathematiker und Kunsttheoretiker, der am 21. Mai 1471 in Nürnberg geboren wurde und am 6. April 1528 verstarb. Er zählt zu den bedeutendsten Künstlern der Renaissance und zeichnete seine Werke konsequent mit einem Monogramm, einem großen A mit einem untergestellten D. Sein Vater, ein Goldschmied aus Ungarn, kam 1455 nach Nürnberg und heiratete Barbara Holper, mit der er 18 Kinder hatte, von denen nur drei überlebten. Albrecht Dürer, das dritte Kind, besuchte bis zu seinem 13. Lebensjahr die Schule und begann danach eine Goldschmiedelehre bei seinem Vater. Später wechselte er in die Malerlehre bei Michael Wolgemut. Von 1490 bis 1494 unternahm Dürer eine Wanderschaft an den Oberrhein, wo er die Brüder des verstorbenen Malers Martin Schongauer traf. 1494 kehrte er nach Nürnberg zurück und heiratete Agnes Frey. Ab 1497 arbeitete Dürer selbstständig und beschäftigte Mitarbeiter für den Vertrieb seiner Drucke. In dieser Zeit entstanden zahlreiche Porträts, Marienbilder sowie bedeutende Kupferstiche und Holzschnitte, darunter "Die Offenbarung des Johannes" und "Adam und Eva". Im Jahr 1505 reiste Dürer nach Venedig, wo er von der Farbgebung der venezianischen Meister beeindruckt war. Trotz eines verlockenden Angebots, in Venedig zu bleiben, kehrte er nach Nürnberg zurück. In den Jahren 1508 bis 1514 schuf Dürer weitere Holzschnittfolgen wie die "Kleine Passion" und das "Marienleben". Er arbeitete auch im Auftrag von Kaiser Maximilian I. und fertigte die berühmten Meisterstiche "Ritter, Tod und Teufel", "Der heilige Hieronymus im Gehäus" und "Melencolia I" an. Seine letzten Jahre widmete Dürer verstärkt der Kunsttheorie und verfasste bedeutende Werke zur Geometrie und Proportionslehre. Er starb kurz vor seinem 57. Geburtstag und wurde auf dem St.-Johannis-Friedhof in Nürnberg beigesetzt.

Den Schriftzug der 1498 von Albrecht Dürer gefertigten
„ Apocalipsis cū figuris“
reproduzierte spätestens 1823 Johann Conrad Zeune der Ältere erstmals 1823 für den Verleger Carl Friedrich Kunz in
Bamberg; das Werk wurde 1889 von dem C. C. Buchners Verlag (Bamberg) neu aufgelegt. Auf dem Bogen von 48,1 x 35,6 cm findet sich das beschnittene Blatt 20,4 x 24,2 cm; in der Staatsbibliothek Bamberg hat es die Signatur I F 20b.
Objektbeschreibung: "Der Bamberger Kunstgelehrte und Sammler Joseph Heller beauftragte den in Thurnau ansässigen Formschneider Johann Conrad Zeune ab 1820 mit zahlreichen Holzstöcken, die der Illustration seiner kunstwissenschaftlichen Publikationen dienen sollten. Auch der lateinische Titelschriftzug von Dürers 1498 erstmals herausgegebenem Holzschnittzyklus "Die Apokalypse" war darunter. Heller ließ den Holzstock, der 1849 mit seinem Nachlass - ebenso wie die Korrespondenz mit Zeune - in den Bestand der damals Königlichen Bibliothek Bamberg überging (vgl. Holzstock 6 bzw. JH.Comm.lit.4 und 5 der Staatsbibliothek Bamberg), akurat nachbilden. Die zuweilen auf Abzügen der Nachahmung zusätzlich gedruckten Seitenzahlen und/oder Bildunterschriften variieren als Teil der wissenschaftlichen Druckwerke, für die sie bestimmt waren. Zum Teil wurden die Druckformen für Publikationen späterer Bibliotheksmitarbeiter erneut verwendet."
