Zwey hüpsche nüwe Geistliche Lieder, zuo lob Gott dem vatter, etc : in der wyss, Jetz scheyden, bringt mir schwer
A 1560 German hymnal of two spiritual songs in praise of God the Father, written by Benedict Gletting and printed by Sigfried Apiario, aimed at Protestant congregational singing. The single woodcut shows a kneeling robed figure in a landscape beneath a radiant figure of God among billowing clouds, with a small monogram and date in the lower right corner; a designer could take its dense hatched line work, cloud forms and rustic landscape detail as a model for engraved sacred imagery.
