Early German and Flemish Woodcuts.—Part II.
On the title-page an undescribed ’woodcut [110 x 110] by Schon, iu the style of
the Bible illustrations. The crew of a ship 1., near land, are firing andshooting arrows
at a body of armed men in European costume on the shore r. A group of natives,
men and women, with earrings, the men carrying bows and jayelins, stand at a little
distance at the opening of a valley between two ranges of jagged mountains, and watch
the fight.
10. [CHRISTIAN PRAYER-BOOK.] Ein christelich niitzpar Bet-
piichlein, etc. F. Peypus, Nuremberg, 1523 ; 8vo.
One cut by Schon, sig. g i r, St. Matthew, from 1517 Hortulus, here as St. Paul.
11. [BIBLE.] Das Alte Testament mit fleyss verteutscht (3 Th.).
F. Peypus, Nuremberg, 1524; fol. (Muther 1137, 1182.)
On title-page to Th. 2, Joshua, signed and dated 1524 (B. 33). In the text, in
addition to cuts previously used in the Lyons Yulgates, 1518-1522, are eight new
snbjects by Schou [59 x 87], viz., Ih. i., Bl. ii v. (Gen. iv), Cain killing Abel; iv v.
(Gen. ix), the Intoxication of Noah; xiv v. (Gen. xxviii), Jacob’s Dream; xxi r.
(Gen. xxxix), Joseph being led to prison; Th. n., Bl. iii r. (Jos. iv), the Ark being
carried through Jordan; iiii r. (Jos. vi), the Fall of Jericho; vi v. (Jos. x), Joshua
hanging the five Kings of the Amorites; xxiii r. (Judg. xiv), Samson aud the Lion.
12. [BTBLE.] Das Newe Testament mit fleyss verteutscht. F.
Peypus, Nuremberg, 1524 ; fol. (Muther 1137, 1182.)
The new cuts [80 x 78] of the four Evangelists (Bl. i r, xviii r., xxviii v., xlvii r.)
and St. Paul (Bl. cii v., etc., 8 times in all) are by Schon. St. Paul is copied from
Schiiufelein’s cut in N.T., Augsburg, 1523 (Muther, Taf. 190). Schon's Pentecost, from
1516 Hortulus, is reprinted on Bl. lx v., and his St. Peter (B. 1), from 1517 Hortulus,
on Bl. cxix v. The initial I with St. Bridget, mentioned above (no. 5), occurs several
times in tliis volume.
13. [BIBLE.] Der Psal | ter teutsch zu | singen, mit fleysz iiber |
sehen vnd gepessert. | Martinus | Luther | m.d. xxv. F. Peypus, JSTurem-
berg, 22 May, 1525; 8vo.
On title-page, graceful border with naturalistic flowers, butterflies, and birds; in
1. lower corner a peacock, in the middle an owl, over the latter an empty scroll
[130 X 90] ; designer uncertain ; unlike any authenticated work of Schon’s.
Sig. A iii v. (facing Bl. i), David kneeiing, to r., at a faldstool, in a courtyard of
Kenaissance architecture; God appearing above r. Good, undescribed cut [111 by 75],
certainly by Schon. Muther’s aecount of this book (no. 1103) is wrong.
14. [LITLRGIES.] Breviarius (sic) cathedralis ecclesie Eystetesis.
H. Holzel, Nuremberg, 1525; 8vo. 2 vol.
As frontispiece to each vol. (coloured), the arms of Gabriel von Eybe under a
Renaissance arch; not signed or dated (not “ Diirer,” B. app. 46) [115 x 76]. The
ornament on the pilasters is somewhat in Springinldee’s manner, but the closest
parallels to it are to be found on the architectural frame of Schon’s Joshua, and on
the chair of St. Mark in N.T., Peypus, 1524, fol. The cut is almost certainly by
Schon.
15. [BIBLE.] Solomonis sententiae, versae ad hebraicam veritatem a
Phiiippo Melanchthone. J. Petreius, Nuremberg, 1525 ; 8vo.
Sig. A 2 r. Initial Q ; cherub’s hcad insidn the letter, cornueopias and dolphitis
outside; double border [39 x 40], Sig. A 7 r. Initial S ; two children running to r.,
hand in hand ; onc has a hobby-horse ; background shaded in horizontal lines : double
border [39 x 39],
