Germaniae ex variis scriptoribus perbreuis explicatio is a short 1532 Latin description of Germany compiled from several writers by Willibald Pirckheimer and printed in Nuremberg by Johann Petreius, a scholarly work for humanist readers. The one picture is a woodcut-style coat of arms with a crested helm, foliate mantling, and a banner inscribed with a motto, its engraved line and symmetrical heraldic layout offering a designer a model for emblem and crest construction.
