The Itinerarium is a 1484 German-language travel book by John Mandeville, translated by Otto von Diemeringen and printed by Johann Prüss in Strassburg for readers of voyages and travel. Its woodcuts show biblical and legendary scenes beside columns of black-letter text, with figures in simple outline, a crowned saint kneeling by a wheel, a pair of travellers gesturing, and a bearded man with a stick, offering designers a model for compact, narrative woodcut framing.
