Geystliche Lieder : das erst, Kumpt her zuo mir spricht Gottes Sun, im Thon, Was wollen wir aber heben an, das best etc. : das ander, Ein Bluomen uff der Heyde, in der Wyss, der Sommer fart
A 1574 German hymnal of spiritual songs, printed by Vincentz im Hof, presumably for Lutheran congregational singing, with a woodcut title page held by the ZB Zürich library. The title-page woodcut shows a seated figure with a small child in a framed scene above a skeleton and a kneeling figure, with bold black outlines and hand-applied colour on the robes; a designer could take its compact framing of text above image and its contrast between a tender scene and a macabre one.
