Die Sempacher Schlacht : so beschehen ist im 1386. Jahr auff S. Cyrillentag, wie Gott einer loblichen Eydgnossschaft beygestanden ist

Halbsuter, Hans · 1614 · [Bodmer?] · 2 pictures

A 1614 German broadside-style pamphlet printed in Switzerland (the publisher is only tentatively given as Bodmer) by Hans Halbsuter, retelling the Battle of Sempach of 1386 for a Swiss Confederation readership. The title page carries a woodcut battle scene of armoured figures with pikes and banners, set above the printed text. The second picture is a decorative woodcut ornament of interlaced scrolls, curls and foliage in a triangular shape, which a designer could reuse as a border or corner motif.
