Gletting, Benedict · 1580 · [Benedikt Ulman] · 2 pictures

A 1580 German secular song-book or broadside telling the Joseph and Potiphar's wife story, printed for a general readership and attributed to Benedict Gletting. The title page carries a black-letter heading and a small woodcut of a seated woman reaching toward a standing man in a feathered cap, with a second figure at left. The first picture is a plain flourish ornament, and the woodcut is crude but legible, a useful reference for hatched, rough-cut narrative figures and simple interior setting.
