A devotional verse collection in Latin by Sebastian Brant, printed in Basel around 1494 by Johann Bergmann de Olpe, and attributed to the young Albrecht Dürer as illustrator, likely for a learned religious readership. The woodcuts are framed single-block scenes of saints and the Annunciation, Nativity and Mass, each set between dense scrolling foliage borders in a Gothic manner, offering a designer examples of ornamental border design and compact narrative framing.
