IIeller (Joseph), Versucli iiher das Lehen und die Werke Lucas
Cranach's mit einer Vorrede vom Bibliothekar Jack. Bamberg, 1821,
in-8.

The first attempt at a critical biography of Cranach, with a catalogue
of his works ; superseded by the second edition (see below).

Heller (Joseph), Das Lehen und die Werke Lucas Cranach's.
Zweite vermehrte und ganzlich umgearheitete Auflage. Bamberg-,

Contains much useful information, but is superseded by Schuchardt’s
book. Heller’s Catalogue of Cranach’s woodcuts, like his Diirer catalogue,
enumerates copies more fully than any other.
