[Confessionale :] Interrogationes et doctrinae quibus quilibet sacerdos debet interrogare suum confitentem

Escobar, Andrès de (1348-1439) · Marchant, Guy (14..-1509?) (Paris) · 1 picture

A Latin confessional manual printed in Paris by Guy Marchant, an incunable from the late 1400s intended for priests questioning penitents. The page shows a small woodcut of two robed, bearded figures seated at a table beside a heraldic shield, framed by a border of ornament and captioned 'Fides Spes' in a bordered block. A designer could take from it the compact early woodcut vocabulary of paired figures, shield devices and framed text labels.
