Ein hüpsch alt Lied, von dem hertten Stryt geschehen vor Louppen nach warem Inhalt der Chronick : in der Wyss wie dess Ecken ussfart

1570 · [Samuel Apiarius?] · 3 pictures

A 1570 German song-booklet printed in black letter, probably by Samuel Apiarius, held by the Zurich Central Library, telling of a hard battle before Leuppen in the form of an old ballad sung to popular tunes. Its woodcut title block shows a fully armed soldier with a halberd, and a second woodcut frames a tree with a fox and a figure in an ornate border, offering designers strong examples of Reformation-era German print ornament and flat, dense line work.
