assumption that it has been omitted, and that the dato should be read as 1467. It is
snpposed that the series was engraved at Cologne.
It is evident that the cnts were not merely inserted in a MS. The vellum leaves on
which they were printed formed an integral part of the volume, so that the cuts must
have been printed in the places designed for them before the text was written (see note
on A 142).

Schr. 24. W.—D 50.
A series of 28 cuts (18 different), printed on two sheets. They are
arranged in two rows on both sides o£ each sheet. The first contains 16
cuts, all different; the second contains 12 cuts, of which 2 are new, the
rest merely repetitions. The order is arbitrary, but the fact that the
c-uts are printed on both sides of the paper is against Schreiber’s view
bhat they were intended to be cut out and used as illustrations to
manuscripts. In printing the first sheet care has been taken that the
outlines of the cuts coincide on back and front, though the pairs thus
produced have no logical connection; in the second sheet this is not the
case.
The subjects are as follows :—•
(1) The Betrayal of Christ.
(2) Christ before Herod.
(3) The Flagellation.
(4) Christ being crowned with Thorns.
(5) Pilate washing his Hands.
(6) Christ bearing the Cross.
(7) Christ being nailed to the Cross.
(8) Christ on the Cross, with the Yirgin and St. John.
(9) Christ descending into Hell.
(10) The Descent from the Cross.
(11) The Lamentation over the Body of Christ.
(12) The Entombment.
(13) The Resurrection.
(14) Christ appearing to St. Mary Magdalen.
(15) The Incredulity o£ St. Thomas.
(16) The Ascension.
(17) The Descent of the Holy Ghost.
(18) The Last Judgment.
