A late fifteenth-century German woodcut book printed in Ulm and Augsburg, with several printers and editors credited, including Thomas Lirer and Johannes Adelphus, and held by Heidelberg University Library. Its small framed woodcuts show armoured men, kings on thrones, and tense confrontations in a medieval setting, with an illustrated German text intended for a general reading public. A designer can take from these blocky hatched outlines, cross-hatched shading, and compact narrative scenes a strong model for medieval woodcut style.
