Dornacher Schlacht : So beschehen ist/ im 1499. Jahr/ zwischen den Eydgnossen der fünff Stätten/ Zürich Bern/ Lucern/ Zug vnd Solothurn/ vnd dem Römischen König
A 1617 German printed pamphlet, published by an unidentified press and held by the University Library of Bern, recounting the 1499 Battle of Dornach between the Swiss Confederates and the forces of the Holy Roman Emperor. Its title page shows two armoured soldiers in woodcut, one holding a pike and one a sword, beneath dense black letterforms. The second picture is a dark, intricate woodcut ornament of interlaced scrolls and leaves, useful to a designer seeking historical print decoration or tightly knotted vine-and-scroll patterns.
