43. THE ARMS OF SCHEURL AND ZINGEL. B. 164. H. 1943. R.—A 22.
Two escutcheons, with a panther rampant for Scheurl 1. and a winged
arrow for Zingel r., are placed under a helm surmounted hy the Scheurl
panther crest. Under the escutcheons an angel holds a tablet prepared
to contain an inscription printed in movable type. The arms, crest, and
angel are enclosed in a quatrefoil, which is itself surrounded by a laurel
wreath tied in four places with ribands. Between the ribands and the
angles of the quatrefoil are placed four small escutcheons with the arms of
Scheurl 1. and (?) r., above, Tucher 1. and Pfinzing r., below.
[159 x 140; size of leaf 230 X 180.] Good, early impression, with Latin test
printed in italics. Watermark, small high crown, with star over the cross, not in Ha.
In the inventory of 1837.
Albrecht Scheurl (1482-1531) married Anna Zingel on 3 Feb. 1523 (not 1513, as H.
and R. have it). 1523 is thus the earliest possible date for the insertion of the Zingel
arms. The earliest impressions, however, of this state of the block were published
in commemoration of the death of Albrecht Scheurl, who died in captivity, in the
hands of brigands, in Bohemia, on 13 June, 1531. In the collection at Bamberg axe two
early editions with text, in which the woodcut is printed on the 1. inner side of the
sheet (or second page when folded), while the r. side contains only printed text
(extending to the fourth page), entitled, in one case, “ Epitaphium Alberti Scheurli ”
(by Sebaldus Heyden), in the otlier, “ Threnodia in morte Alberli Scheurlii.” Heller
describes the second of these (Threnodia) at length; as the text below the woodcut on
our impression is quite different from that which he gives and the orthography
“ Scheurli,” not “ Scheurlii,” is adopted, it is probable that we have here an incomplete
copy of the first edition (Epitaphium).
Over the woodcut is printed, as in the other edit.ion, “ Psal. xxvi | dominvs illumi-
natio mea . . . trepidabo ? | Dum . . . infirmati | sunt . . . cor meum.” Tlien at the
sides the dates of Ihe birth of Scheurl's six children; the date of Barbara’s birth has
been altered by hand from 5 to 19 April. In the tablet are four elegiac verses, printed
as prose: “ Qui bona pcipio h Dno, cur dura re | cusem? YtraqJ cu iustus det' q’,
adi- | mat' q’, Deus. Cuius ad arbitriu sem | per simul oxa fiunt, Ille ferat toto | nomen
in orbe sacrum.” The inscription under the woodcut reads: “Albertus Scheurlus
Christophori Scheurli ex Helena Tucherina alter filius, nascebatur xxvii. Nouem | bris
Anni mcccclxxxii. Ducebat uxorem Annam, D. Ioannis Zinglij Iurisconsulti, & Du-
cum | Palatinorum Consiliarij filiam uirginem . in. Februarij . hdxxiii. Exquafilium

comperisset.”
The design is obviously not bv Diirer. It may he by Traut, who designed a book-plate
(no. 42) for the elder Ghristoph Scheurl. Tlie angel is somewhat in his manner, and there
is reascn to think that the woodcut was produced befure 1520, the dateof Traut’s death.

Later state.
The arms of G-euder liave been substituted in the second large
escutcheon for those of Zingel. In the small escutcheons the Scheurl arms
alone remain as before ] the other three now contain the arms of Tucher,
Tutterer, and Behaim, inserted on new pieces of woocl. The tablet is
empty, and there are no inscriptions.
