Zwey Schöne Newe Lieder/ von einem der mit Leybs Kranckheiten von Gott angriffen/ vnd solche lange zyt außgestanden

1617 · [Abraham Weerli] · 1 picture

A 1617 German broadside-style songbook printed under the name Abraham Weerli, held by the University Library of Bern, whose title promises two new songs by a man afflicted with bodily illness. The single picture is a dense woodcut ornament of interlaced scrollwork, leaf tendrils and a central cross-like motif, a printer's device rather than an illustration, useful to designers for symmetrical baroque-style border and emblem work.
