two buffalo’s horns of the Bavarian colours. The mantling consists of
sprays of foliage bent in bold, rounded forms. Two adult angels, vested
in albs, serve as supporters. The ground at their feet is covered with
grass and flowers, and under the escutcheon is the date 1512. Double
border, of which the outer line is the thickest.

10. TIJE ABMS OF SCHEUBL AND TUCHER, H. 2146. P. iii, 194, 214.
A woman clad in a loose robe, looped up and confined at the waist by
a knottecl sash, stands, with her r. breast and shoulder bare, looking up
to 1., with her hair streaming in the wind to r. She supports with her
hands the crests that surmount the helms and escutcheons of the
families of Scheurl 1. and Tucher r. A long-haired dog crouches at her
feet. The design is framed in by two vine-stems, bare at the sides, but
breaking out at the top into leaves ancl bunches of grapes. A double-
headed eagle is poised over the woman’s head. In a compartment at the
top is the following inscription in black xyiographic letters on a white
ground :
HlC SCIIEURLINA SIMUL TUCHERINACg SIGNA REFULGENT
Qvae doctor gemini scileurle parentis iiabes.1
The whole is enclosed by a single border. On the margin are the Latin
inscriptions recorded by Heller, from “ Deus prouidebit ” at the top
to “ Omne tempus perit . . . sunt cetera fraudes ” at the bottom. The
following errors in ILeller’s transcription need to be corrected : for
“intera” read “ cetera ” ; for “ lecturo,” “ lectulo ” ; for “ Cicero,”
“ Cycero.” The type is that of H. Holzel.
[Woodcut, 295 x 204; sbeet, 365 x 258.] Yery fine impression; watermark, small
bull’s head surmounted by Tau cross.
From tlie Oornill d’Orville collection (blue stamp).
Purchased at the Cornill sale, 1900.
A fine woodcut, tbougb the free aud spirited design is partially spoilt by bad
cutting. It is certainly by Traut, and is tbe most important of that group of wood-
cuts wbicb comprises tlie illustrations to Locber’s “ Comparatio,” Wimpfeling’s
“ Avisamentum,” “ De Oontinentia Sacerdotum,” and nos. 11 and 12 of tbe separate
cuts. This is tbe capital instance of Traut’s babit of modelling by parallel lines and
bis avoidance of cross-batching. Tbe grapes and vine-leaves, witli oblique sbading
from 1. to r. bebind tbem, resemble closely tbe decoration at tbe top of tbe St. Sebald in
“ Quatuor Libri Amorum,” 1502.
1 Tbese verses, by Ricbardus Sbrulius, are printed in Scbeurl’s “ Sacerdotum
Dofensorium ” (Nuremberg, 1511). Tliey are completed bv tbe following couplet:
“ Hsec duo diversse celebrant insignia gentes,
Sannata Pantberam : Noricus Etbiopem.”
