mundt.” Sixteen German verses by Joliann Betz are placed below, and on the other

STEPHAN HAMER.
Wood-engraver (?) and publislier, Nuremberg: worked about 1531
to 1553; d. 1553 (?).
There are numerous woodcuts published by him at Gotha. The
earliest of these are two illustrations to poems of Hans Sachs, by
