teaching. It is intended as an aid in memorising the various chapters of the
Gospels, and contains therefore, very curious woodcuts each with rhymed ex-
planations.
This “Ars memorandi” is indeed an enlarged and corrected form of the
xylographicum with the same title. It is here preceded by some verses by Seba-
stian Brant and is edited by Georg Simler.
The Gospel of S. John is represented in 3 cuts, that of S. Matthew in 5>
that of S. Mark in 3 and that of S. Lucas in 4 cuts. The style of these cuts is
admirable and, according to Hagelstange (op. cit.), suggests a connection with
the school of Schongauer. They are possibly by Anshelm himself who was
also a woodcutter.
Ours is the first edition of the “Rationarium” which was, in a smaller form,
first published in 1502 under the title “Memorabiles evangelistarum figurae”.
Of the .greatest importance regarding the history of symbolics.
A very fine and large copy; the upper part of the title-line has not come
up. A small stain on the title-leaf.
