Rabanus Maurus, Archbishop of Mainz, 784?-856, Wimpheling, Jakob, 1450-1528 · 1503 · Phorçheim : in aedibus Thome Anshelmi · 18 pictures

A 1503 Latin devotional book by Rabanus Maurus, edited by Jakob Wimpheling and printed at Pforzheim for a learned clerical readership. Its pages pair woodcut figures of angels, a robed bishop and a winged cherub with shaped verse set in red and black type, and the figures sit in the text columns as framing devices a designer could adapt for layout.
