It was used in many later books printed by Weissenburger both at Nuremberg and
Landshut.1 In drawing it is nearest to no. 2 (4) above; in cutting, to no. 1.

7. [PHSTDER.] Speculum intellectuale felicitatis humane. (H. tlolzel,
ISTuremberg), 1510; 4to. (Panzer, ix, 543, 70b.)

Cuts (not signed). (1) On title-page of “ Registrum speculi,” etc., portrait of
Frederick III of Saxony, to whom the work is dedicated, three-quarter face to 1.,
looking upward, arms resting on a ledge; in the upper corners the arms of Saxony.
Single border [136 x 135].

This woodcut was attributed by Bartsch (vii, 296, 135) to Cranach, but it is not
mentioned by Schucbardt. It is a fairly close copy in reverse of the engraving of 1509
(Sch. 3, Lippm. 59), but the position of the hands is different. (See Flechsig, “ Cranach-
studien,” 1900, i, 51.)

(2) On back of the title-page of the work itself (repeated, fol. xyiii v.) a diagram of
the spheres; above, in clouds, the Almighty and angels ; below, Christ and the apostles ;
in the spandrels, the arms of Saxony [155 x 115].

Coarsely cut, but the little landscape in the middle is characteristic of Traut.
Modern impression in Derschau, B 3. The four narrow strips of ornament placed
round this cut are probably also by Traut; they resemble the borders to his Passion
series of 1510.

(3) Fol lx r. A man reposing near a fountain; a doctor conversing with an artisan
[48 x 134].

(4) Fol. lxxvi v. Seven mirrors with inscriptions; r. and 1. roses ; above, tbe arms
of Saxony supported by lions: below two angels, the one to 1. quite characteristic of
Traut, as is also the grass [137 X 137].

The other illustrations are repeated from the “ Beschlossen G-art,” 1505.
