Zwey hüpsche nüwe Geystliche Lieder, d[as] Erst inn der wyss, wie das Lied von Bünterlin

Gletting, Benedict · 1558 · by Samuel Apiario · 1 picture

A 1558 German songbook of two new spiritual hymns, printed by Samuel Apiario and attributed to Benedict Gletting, intended for devotional singing. The title page is set in black-letter type under a woodcut of a standing figure in patterned dress, holding a scroll with lettering and accompanied by a small dog on grass. A designer could take from it the dense, ornamented black-letter lettering framing a central figure, and the scroll-and-dog vignette as a compact emblematic image.
