Ein schön new Lied Von Joseph wie er sich Mit der Asenatha verpflichtet hat/ vnd wie sie von dem Engel ist bekehrt worden : Im Thon: Vom Himmel hoch da komm ich her/ [et]c

1645 · [Georg Sonnleitner?] · 1 picture

A 1645 German broadside ballad, printed for a general readership and probably sold to be sung to a known hymn tune, with the publisher possibly Georg Sonnleitner and the copy held by UB Bern. The single woodcut shows Joseph riding with companions toward a woman in a long gown and headdress beside a tower, with a dated imprint line below, and a designer might take its compact narrative staging and dense hatched line for small-scale storytelling.
