These five cuts belon? to the series of twelve which occur in the three editions of
the Buch der Natur, printed by J. Bamler (Hain 4011-3). The first (imperfect) and the
third are in the British Museum (Procror 1613, 1626). The fourth edition (Schonspergerr
1482, Hain 4044) has also twelve cuts, the fifth (Sorg. 1482, Hain 4015) has eleven,
and the sixth (Schonsperger 1499, Hain 4046) has fourteen. Of these editions only
the sixth is in the British Museum (Proctor 1804). In this twelve cuts are fairly
close copies in reverse of the originals in the first edition, witli an additional frontis-
piece representing a professor seated at a Oothic desk, lecturing four young men,
and another cut of a physioian and an apothecary. Nine of the cuts from Bamler’s
editions are reprodnced in Essenwein, “ Holzschnitte im Germanischen Museum,”

round his waist. He has a floriated nimbus with single rim. The two
gaolers, holding rod ancl scourge, are passing out at a door 1. ; one of
them turns round and addresses Christ with a mocking gesture. To
r. the Yirgin is beholding the scene through a grated window. Pragments
broken off the rods in the flagellation lie on the floor. An oblong sheet
of paper, with a Hebrew inscription, is nailed to the wall above Christ’s
head. The whole is surrounded by a double border.
