Division At—School of Nuremberg.—Anonymous. 367
[159 X 139 ; size of leaf, 170 X 144.] Old impression, on paper very similar to that
of no. 45, but without watermark.
In the inventory of 1837.
This state of the block is also described by II., who identifies the arms as those of
Christoph iii von Scheurl, 1535-92, who married Sabina Geuder, 1537-1610, in 1560.
H. also describes later impressions in which the Scheurl and Geuder arms remaiu; but
the three small escutcheons are empty, while the tablet contains an inscription, “ Dominus
dedit,” etc., in two lines. The latest impressions of all were taken for Herr Coruiil
d’Orville, who possessed the block. He left it, with his collection of books illustrated
by Diirer and his school, to the Stadtbibliothek at Frankfurt-am-Main.

By H. S. Beham (q.v.), Pauli 1353.
45. TIIE ARMS OF JOIIANN STABIUS. B. 165. II. 1944. R. 242-
First cut, with the narae ioann stabivs at the foot of the shiekl, and
inscription, flammevs ecce volat, etc., on a flat frame.
[275 x 190.] Modern impression (1781), on yellowish paper. The words, “ Tabula
ab Alberto Durer ligno incisa,” etc., which shouid appear below, have been cut off.
Bequeathed by Sir A. W. Franks, K.C.B., 1897.
This design is certainly not by Diirer. Dr. W. Schmidt1 attributes it to Springinldee.
I am more inclined to ascribe it to Traut; it may be compared, especially as regards
tlie mantling, with his woodcut of the arms of John of Bavaria, administrator of the
diocese of Eatisbon, 1512. Compare also the foliage on the broadside by Traut men-
tioned on p. 362. Chmelarz observes that the title of Crnsar Augustus given to
Maximilian in the inscription proves that the woodcut is not earlier than 1508. It
probably dates from about 1512, the time at which Stabius entered into close relations
with Durer and other Nuremberg artists. No old impressions exist. The block is
preserved in the Imperial Library at Yienna, and impressions were taken from it in
17812 and 1886.3
46. THE ARMS OF JOHANN STABIUS. B. 166. H. 1945. R. 243.
Seconcl cut, with the name stabivs over the crest, a laurel wreath to 1.
of the name, and a grooved frame without inscription.
[296 x 192 ] Late impression, on white paper, apparently a little older than the
edition of 1781, but not so clearly printed.
Bequeathed by Sir A. Wollaston Franks, K.C.B., 1897.
This design is generally attributed to Diirer himself, though his authorship is not
attested. The drawing of this woodcut is certainly much more spirited, and it is based,
at least, upon sketches by Diirer, which are preserved in vol. ii of the Diirer MSS. in
the British Museum (Sloane 5229, nos. 63-65). The drawing numbered 63 is a slight
charcoal sketch of a single-headed eagle, with the head facing to r. It is on a tliick,
