Hartlieb, Jakob, active 1493-1513, Wimpheling, Jakob, 1450-1528. De fide concubinarum in sacerdotes · 1502 · [Germany? : s.n.] · 4 pictures

A 1502 German woodcut-illustrated Latin satire, published by an unnamed printer and attributed to Jakob Hartlieb with additions by Jakob Wimpheling, aimed at scholarly readers and centred on the faithfulness of prostitutes to their lovers. The pictures are black-and-white woodcuts with dense blackletter columns and framed scenes of street life, a tree-lined courtyard, and a man ministering to a fallen figure, offering a designer compact figure groupings, hatching for shadow and texture, and a clear model of how text and image shared a page.
