Der Menschen Schütz, das ist, Der Todt, wie er die Vögel ohne Underscheid gählingen hinschiesst : gesangsweiss gestellt im Thon: Es ist ein Schnitter, heist der Todt
A German song-sheet style book printed in 1660 by Johann Schultes, held by the ZB Zürich, whose title sets Death's sudden shooting of birds to a popular tune for ordinary readers. Its two small woodcuts show a stylised bird standing on a ground line beside a decorative initial P, and a bearded face framed by scrolls, tassels and grotesque heads, offering a designer compact motifs for ornamental borders, initials and emblematic vignettes.
