Weber, Veit · 1637 · [Verlag nicht ermittelbar] · 2 pictures

A 1637 German broadside ballad by Veit Weber, published by an unidentified publisher and held by the UB Bern, telling of the 1476 Battle of Murten, when the Swiss Confederates defeated Duke Charles of Burgundy, and set to the tune of an older folk song for popular singing. The title page shows a crowded woodcut of pikemen and mounted soldiers in combat above heavy blackletter type, and the second picture is a dense woodcut ornament of scrolls, leaves and fleur-de-lis that a designer could adapt as a border or panel motif.
