Ein schön Geistlich Lied/ Von dem Frommen Tobia und seinem Sohn/ auß Heil. Schrifft gezogen : In deß Dannhausers Weiß zu singen

Kummer, Jörg · 1680 · [Samuel Kneubühler] · 1 picture

A German devotional song sheet printed in 1680 under Jörg Kummer's name, with the publisher given as Samuel Kneubühler, sung to the tune of Dannhauser and drawn from Holy Scripture for a Protestant lay readership. The woodcut frame shows two bearded men in period dress, one kneeling and gripping the other's arm, a scene from the Tobit story; a designer could borrow its compact, vertically stacked black-letter title block and the boxed narrative vignette as a model for framed text-and-image layouts.
