5. [PINDER.] Speculum Passionis domini nostri Iliesu christi.
Printed for Ulrich Pinder, Nuremberg, 30 Aug. 1507 ; fol. (Muther 897.)
I attribute to Traut, not witliout liesitation, one woodcut in tbis volume, markedly
different from the rest, which are for the most part by Schaufelein, a few by Baldung.
The peculiar style of this cut is noticed by Muther, wlio names it the Gursing of the
Fig-tree.
(1) Fol. xxi v. Christ and the Apostles on the way to Gethsemane [235 x 160].
In this woodcut Traut’s characteristic manner of drawing trees begins to appear.
Tlie features of St. Peter and of the apostle behind him (in proflle to r.) anticipate
certain types in the large woodcut of the Confraternity of St. Ursula (p 517, no. 12),
which I regard as an indisputable work of Traut.

This volume contains a selection (86) of tlie 237 woodcuts of the rare original
edition. Of this selection the following numbers are by Traut: 4, 8, 9, 11-13, 17,
19-21, 24-29, 32-54, 56-60, 62-63, 68-73, 75-77, 82-85, 88. No. 27 reproduces one of
the three woodcuts that Traut signed witli his monogram.

Woodcuts on both sides of the title-page :—
(1) In the foreground r. two monks are being burut in the presence of Kiug
Emanuel; in the background three gallows, from one of which the body has fallen.
(2) In tlie foreground 1. the bodies of two Jews are burning in presence of a group
of spectators headed by a Dominican; in the background a group of four men near a
door; two women conversing; two men, oue kneeling, before an altar, over which a
crucifix is erected, with a mirror on its breast. A newly converted Jew, who refused
to believe in the miraculous properties of this mirror, had been murdered by women
and burnt outside the church of St. Dominic; tliis led to the general massacre of
Jews for which King Emauuel punished the people of Lisbon. These events are
described in a separate work, “ You dem christeliche | Stryt, kiirtzlich geschehen zu
Lissbona,” etc.
The illustrations [single border, 95 x 96] are badly cut, and it is difficult to recognise
Traut’s work. The figure behind the king in (1) is characteristic ; so is the architecture
with its shading in bold, parallel strokes. The same woodcutter was evidently
employed on other blocks used by Weissenburger (e.g. in nos. 5, 6, below, also no. 13).
Compare with these woodcuts the figures to r. on fol. lx of Pinder’s “ Speculum
intellectuale,” no. 7 (3).

4to.
Six unsigned cuts, of various dimensions and unequal merit, wliich I attribute
without hesitation to Traut. Among his works already recognised the nearest in style
to these is the frontispiece to “ Strabi Fuldensis Hortulus ” (see p. 508, no. 14),
