A 1508 Latin dialogue by Johannes Stamler on the sects and religions of the world, printed at Augsburg by Erhard Ratdolt's successors Erhard Oglin and Georg Nadler for a scholarly readership. The title page is a dense woodcut architectural scene with a central seated group, figures labelled disputatores and doctor, and heraldic shields, while the second picture is an engraved heraldic achievement with a crested helmet, a chevron shield and a ribbon bearing the name Gaudeo; a designer could draw on the strict symmetry of the framed title block and the lettering built into the image.
