15. [ARS.] Ars moriendi. J. Weissenburger, Nuremberg, 1512;
4to. (Panzer, vii, 451, 85.)
One cut only by Traut. On recto of last leaf (C iv), St. Michael weighing souls,
facing r., holding a balance in his 1. hand, a sword in his r. hand. An angel r.
receives a soul. Devils, below, are tormenting others in a boiling cauldron and in a
revolving cylinder. Single border [129 x 85].
16. [NICOLAL] Tractatus de Confraternitate . De dece Aue Maria.
H. Holzel, Nuremberg, 1513; 4to. (Panzer ix, 545, 92b.)
A viii r. The Eosary; outside it, in the upper corners, the Mass of St. Gregory
and Stigmatisation of St. Francis; in the lower comers a group of clergy 1., laity r.,
threc men and three women in the middle. Single border [130 x 96].
Eoughly cut, in the manner of the St. Michael (no. 15) ; clearly from a design by
Traut, but perbaps not the original block; it is from the same block as the Eosary in
the Yade Mecum of 1510. Either the same Eosary or one almost identical with it was
used in “ Sancte Ursule fraternitas. Impressum per . . . Fridericu Peypus : in domo
Doctoris Binder, medicu Nurnbergensiu, Anno m.d. xiii ” ; 4to. (Frankfurt, Stadt-
bibliothek.)
The cut on the title-page (not by Traut) belongs to the interesting series describcd
by W. v. Seidlitz in Jahrh. d. Ic. preuss. Kunstsammlungen, vi, 27-28.
17. [PLLNTUS.] Ein freye Lobsagung Gay. Pliny des andern : von
dem Lobe Traiani des Kaysers (translated by Dietrich von Pleningen).
J. Weissenburger, Landshut, 14 December, 1515 ; fol.
The frontispiece, wanting in this copy, is the same as that of D. von Pleningen’s
transiation of Sallust, printed in the same year. It is a work of the Augsburg school.

number 7. The medallion is inserted in a rectaDgular frame. L. and r. at top scrolls
of conventional foliage with children resting on the branches. Iu 1. lower corner a bear
on its hind legs near a tree; in r. lower corner a child blowing a trumpet, sitting on a
cornucopia full of grapes. The background is shaded horizontally. Double border-line
[130 x 180].
The head of Trajan, the little piece of landscape, and the horizontal shading are all
in the style of Traut, but the decorative motives are not so easily matched in his
work.
18. [LITURGIES.] Missale secudu vsum ecclesie ratispon. J. Pfeyl,
Bamberg, 30 April, 1518; fol.
On title-page, the arms of John of Bavaria, administrator of Eatisbon, supported by

dannckhs. H. Schonsperger, Augsburg, 1519 ; fol.
The same cuts as in the first edition, Nuremberg, 1517. They are repeated in tbe
later editions, 1537 (Augsburg), 1553, 1563, 1589 (Frankfurt), 1679, 1693 (Ulm), but not
in that of 1596 (Frankfurt).
20. [PFINTZING.] Theuerdank (title in 42 lines). M. Wagner for
M. Schultes, Ulm, 1693 ; fol.
This edition, not described in detail by Laschitzer, is an exact reprint of that of

additional subjects, one of which, no. 123, Neidelbart and others kneeling before
Theuerdank, is by Traut. This, according to Laschitzer, p. 105, is the illustration
properly belonging to chapter 90.
