A devotional meditation on the life and Passion of Christ, written by Jordan of Quedlinburg and printed in Magdeburg around 1500 by Moritz Brandis for lay readers of late medieval Germany. Its woodcuts are small framed scenes set above Latin captions, showing Christ's suffering with bold black outlines and simple hatched shading that a designer could borrow for narrative panel layouts.
