Die Deutschen "Accipies" und Magister cum Discipulis=Holzschnitte als Hilfsmittel zur Inkunabel-Bestimmung
A 1908 Strassburg study by Wilhelm Ludwig Schreiber and Paul Heitz cataloguing German woodcuts of schoolroom scenes, the 'Accipies' and 'Magister cum Discipulis' blocks, used to date early printed books. The pictures show a teacher at a lectern or desk with seated pupils, some holding books, set in simple interiors with tiled floors and patterned walls; a designer could draw on their clear, repeated compositions and crisp hatched line for historical educational imagery.
