This is a 1506 Venetian printing of Petrus de Natalibus's Catalogus sanctorum, a collection of saints' lives printed by Bartholomaeus de Zanis for the publisher Luca-Antonio Giunta. The woodcuts are small, narrow scenes with bishops, kneeling figures and crowds set in simple architectural frames, showing how early printers organised episodic narrative into a grid of panels with labelled captions.
