Tbe three cuts in tlie Canon appear to be by Traut, tbe cliief illustrator of Holzel’s
books. The presence of a date in tbe first cut, and tbe sbape of the numerals, suggest
bis band ; tbe Yirgin may be compared witb nos. 3 and 4 (p. 513) ; but a more striking
resemblance is tbat of St. Jolm bere and on tbe tentb small scene of tbe Passion in
P. iii, 206, 265. See also St. Jobn in tbe Crucifixion of tbe Passau Missal of 1514.

printed by Holzel, 1513.
