Lutheri Catechismus is a 1696 Stockholm printing of Luther's catechism, translated by Johannes Campanius into the Lenape-related language of the Delaware colonists and printed for a Swedish-American readership. Its pictures are small woodcut and typeset pieces: a carved acanthus border, a frontispiece with a coat of arms flanked by a European woman and an Indigenous man under a sunburst, a Swedish text sample, and a woodcut flower basket, useful for historical ornament and heraldic layout references.
