Confutatio dispvtationis Ioannis Iacobi Grynaei, de coena Domini

Andreae, Jakob, 1528-1590 · 1584 · Tvbingae, Georgius Gruppenbachius · 1 picture

A 1584 Tübingen theological polemic by Jakob Andreae, printed by Georg Gruppenbach, answering Johann Jacob Grynaeus on the Lord's Supper for a Lutheran readership of scholars and clergy. The single picture is a woodcut printer's device with St George slaying the dragon inside a strapwork cartouche, flanked by two putti and the Latin inscription Agnus Dei qui tollis peccata mundi. A designer could take from it the compact symmetrical framing of a central roundel between figures and columns, suited to seals or emblems.

Grynaeus, Johann Jacob, 1540-1617 · Lord's Supper
