An escutcheon quartering the arms of Pomer with the gridiron of
St. Laurence, with crest, helm, and mantling as in no. 158, is placed

St. Laurence stands 1. as supporter. In the four corners are small
escutcheons with the arms of Pdmer, Rummel, Schmiedmaier and Berg-
meister, as in no. 158. Near the last escutcheon are the initialsR. A. and
the date 1525. On a white strip below the subject are the equivalents
in Hebrew, Greek, and Latin of the text: “ To the pure all things are
pure,” and the name d. hector pomer pr^pos. s. lavr., all cut on the
block.
[295 x 195.] Good impression, watermark indistinguisbable.
Presented by W. Mitchell, Esq., 1895.
The initials R. A. liave been interpreted since Ileller’s time as the signature of tlie
wood-engraver, Hieronymus Andrea or Resch, but it is not clear why he should have
signed with both tliese letters.

churck of St. Laurence at Nuremberg. Tlie four small escutclieons are interpreted as

liis mother, Anna Schmiedmaier, and his maternal grandmother, a Bergmeister.
