1577 · bey Samuel Apiario · 1 picture

A 1577 German devotional songbook of two spiritual hymns, printed in Basel by Samuel Apiario and held by the ZB Zürich library, aimed at Protestant lay readers who sang at home. The title page carries a small hand-coloured woodcut of a robed figure kneeling before a cross on a hill beneath a cloudy sky, with blackletter type above and below, offering a designer a model for early modern devotional imagery and bold black-line letterforms.
