Diss ist der Psalter oder Rosen krantz von unser lyeben Frowen, und ist in der Wiss als man syngt den Hertzog Ernst. ...
This German devotional Psalter, the Rosary of Our Dear Lady, was printed in 1518 at Zurich, probably by Christoph Froschauer, for lay readers who sang it to the tune of Duke Ernst. The first picture is a woodcut of the Virgin crowned with stars and holding the Christ child inside a narrow arched frame flanked by carved vertical borders, while the second is a library stamp of the Zurich city library that a designer can ignore. The Virgin's full-length stance, her simple linework and the ornamental side panels offer a clear model for devotional border and frame design.
