Hofbibliothek, Vienna.

xxiii, 45. The impression of the same woodcut, accompanied by a revised
text of the ode, inserted in MS. 1122 of the Merkel Library in the
Germanic Museum, Xuremberg, is printed on vellum.
For another woodcut (1495) attributed to Wolgemut, see D 35. ITe
may also have designed the Crucifixion in the Eichstadt Missal, 1488
(Eichstiidt, M. Reyser, fol.), Erlangen, Universitatsbibliothek, Inc. 43
(not mentioned by Hain or Weale). Tlie frontispiece of tke Ratisbon
Breviary, J. Pfeyl, Bamberg, 1495 (Hain 3886), has been attributed to
Wolgemut by Muther (no. 666) and v. Loga (Jakrb. xvi, 234). The cut,
separately, is preserved at Berlin and Uuremberg, the book at Munich
(repr. Ess. Taf. 155-6). An undescribed woodcut, evidently by Wolge-
mut, is the frontispiece to Sigismund von Prustat’s “ Practica Coloniensis ”
(1495-6; Proctor 2252a).
