Opera Hrosuite : illustris uirginis et monialis Germane, gente Saxonico orte
This 1501 Latin edition of the plays of Hrotsvitha, a tenth-century Saxon nun, was printed in Nuremberg by the Sodalitas Celtica, a humanist society, and its woodcuts are attributed to Albrecht Dürer and Hans von Kulmbach. The pictures are black-and-white woodcuts with dense, parallel line hatching, showing robed figures in architectural interiors, stone buildings, and gravestones. A designer might take from them the crisp contrast of carved black line on paper, and the way hatching alone builds drapery, masonry, and shadow.
