Ein schön Geistlich Lied/ Von dem frommen Tobia und seinem Sohn : Auß Heiliger Göttlicher Schrifft gezogen. In der Melodey: Wie man den Dannhäuser singt

Kummer, Jörg · 1700 · [Verlag nicht ermittelbar] · 1 picture

A German devotional broadside ballad of 1700, attributed to Jörg Kummer and printed without an identified publisher, retelling the biblical story of Tobias and his son for lay readers singing to a known tune. The woodcut on the title page shows a domestic interior with robed figures in a room with an arched doorway, rendered in dense black line with simple hatching, a plain early-modern print style a designer could borrow for rustic woodcut effects.
