Summum Argentoratensivm Templum: Das ist: Außführliche vn Eigendtliche Beschreibung deß viel Künstlichen, sehr Kostbaren, vnd in aller Welt berühmten Münsters zu Strassburg
Summum Argentoratensivm Templum is a 1617 German description of the Strasbourg Minster, written by Oseas Schadaeus for readers interested in the cathedral's celebrated artworks and its famous astronomical clock. The engraved plates show the pulpit, the clock case, carved column capitals and an ornamental cartouche, all drawn with fine, dense linework. A designer could draw on their precise Renaissance ornament, architectural elevations and dense cartouche decoration for historical borders and frames.
