a rectangular opening eut out to receive the printed title. On the cornice
of the franre sit two angels holding a laurel wreath, frorn which a basket of
grapes, pears, and other fruit is suspended. Above this wreath stands
a two-handled vase. In an oblong panel on the base are two Nereids,
whose tails are intertwined with those of dolphins ; between them hangs
a bunch of grapes.
[180 X 121.] Impression from a somewhat worn block, from a book with the title,
“ Was auff de | Reichsztag zu Nii | remberg, von wegeu Bebstlich | er heiligkeit, an
Keyserlicher Maiestat | Stathalter vnd Stende, Lutherischer | sachen halben gelangt,
vh darauff ge- | antwort worde ist, Auch etliche | andere mer niitzliche dlg, | wie die
volgende kurtz [ vorred vnd register anzeigt/. | Gum gratia et Priuilegio ” (4to). This
book has the following colophon: “ Gedruckt zu Niiremberg, durch | Friderichen
Peypus. m d. xxiij.” A later edition, with the same colophon, has the word
“ Imperiali ” added under the last line of the title.
Purchased from Mr. G-utekunst, 1874.
This border was rightly attributed to Springinklee by Butsch, and rightly described
also as an inferior work. The Nereids may be compared with the similar figure, drawn
full face, on the base of the colurnn r. in B. 51. The basket of fruit is a poor repetition
of that in St. Sebald, B. (Diirer) app. 21. Springinklee’s favourite string of oval and
round beads is tlie moulding chosen for the frame itself; the moulding placed below
the panel with Nereids is also one of frequent occurrence in his borders.
Accordiug to Butsch this border was used in 1521, in Hollen’s “ Preceptorium.”
83. BORDER WITH FIVE ANGELS.
The arcliitect-ural scheme consists of a round-arched portal, flanked by
two projecting columns, and bearing in the midst a large rectangular
tablet for the title, with ear-like handles. Two child-angels, standing on
the capitals of the columns, hold the ends of a wreath; three more sit below
the tablet playing a tambourine, a lute, and a trumpet. The columns are
ornamented with wreaths and rams’ skulls, the pedestals on which they
rest, with dolphins. Between the pedestals is a panel with a relief of
naked children towing a boat, followed by a child riding on a sea-horse.

Purchased from Messrs. Colnaghi, 1871.
This border, which has not previously been attributed to Springinklee, has much
in common with the Pirkheimer title-page, but more especially with the arcliitectural
borders of the illustrations to the Hortulus Animae illustrations of 1518, and the
St. Jerome KneeJing (P. 64) of tlre same year. I have been unable to ascertain the
date of the book to which this impression belongs.
