There are a few cases (e.g. nos. 12, 38, 45) in which I am tempted to attribute the

desigu to Springinklee, but in the absence of any conclusive evidence in favour of an
exception, the probability that the whole of the illustrations to any one book of the
Bible are by the same artist must outweigh any scruples suggested by small points of
style. The only case in which an outlying woodcut must certainly be attributed to
Springinklee is the single illustration to the book of Judges. . With that exception
his work is confined to two consecutive groups of books from Tobit to Job, and from
Isaiah to Maccabces.

1 Or Solomon (1 K. ii, 19). On this point, see Yogelin, Bepertorinm ii, 324.
