Incunabula 1400s Leaf w/WOODCUTS of 2 early French Kings

A single leaf (page) from a book printed in the 1400s. It is large (measuring about 9" x 14") and is printed on both sides. The page is numbered 173 and 174.

The header on page 173 is "Von Gallia" (Of France), and on page 174 "Das Dritte Buch" (The Third Book). The work is in German and this page discusses two early French kings: Charibert (c. 517 - 567) and Chilperic I (c. 539 - 584). Page 173 contains a woodcut of Charibert, and page 174 contains a woodcut of Chilperic.

Condition is very nice. The paper is flexible and not brittle. There is a horizontal fold at the center.

Our father purchased this in 2018 and the seller's description was simply "Incunabula Leaf 1400s."
