Dyalogus. Iohannis Stamler. August[e]n. De diversarum gencium sectis et mundi religionibus. : Registru[m] operis respice in fine

Stamler, Johannes · 1508 · Impressum Auguste : Per Erhardum Oglin. [et] Ieorgiu[m] Nadler ... · 2 pictures

A 1508 dialogue on the sects and religions of the world by Johannes Stamler, printed in Augsburg by Erhard Ratdolt's successors Erhard Oglin and Georg Nadler for a learned readership. Both pictures are the woodcut title page, a dense symmetrical arrangement of a central enthroned figure flanked by seated clergy, coats of arms, and robed debaters below, framed by ornamental borders; a designer could draw on its strict central hierarchy, banded lettering, and framed emblem panels for formal, authoritative layouts.
