Der geystlich Buchsboum von dem Strayt des Fleischs wider den Geyst

Witzstat, Hans, Sanffdorffer, Johann · 1554 · [S. Apiarius] · 1 picture

A 1554 German devotional book by Hans Witzstat and Johann Sanffdorffer, printed by S. Apiarius and aimed at lay Christian readers, illustrated with small hand-coloured woodcuts. The single picture shows a winged angel in a purple robe gesturing toward a man in a red cap and tunic with a sword, beside a crouching horned figure, with a walled town behind; a designer could draw on its flat colour washes, bold woodcut outlines, and the compact framed vignette layout.
