Zwey hübsche newe geistliche Lieder : das erst, Hilff Gott, das mir gelinge, du edler Schöpffer mein, im Thon, Kündt ich von Hertzen singen etc. : das ander Lied, Ach Herr Gott mich treibt die Not
A sixteenth-century German-language printed songbook of two spiritual hymns, printed by Samuel Apiarius for a general devotional readership. The single picture is a hand-coloured woodcut of the crucifixion with two mourning figures in long robes standing either side of the cross, set on a small framed panel above the title lines in black-letter type, with a border of simple ornament; a designer could draw on its compact figure grouping and the contrast of flat colour against dense black type.
