1603 · ex officina Nicolai Kalt, episcopi Constantinensis typographi ordinarii · 29 pictures

A 1603 Latin missal printed at Constance by the printer Nicolai Kalt for the diocese's clergy, revised to Roman use under Bishop Johann Georg. The pictures show ornamented text pages with woodcut borders of saints and scriptural scenes around columns of black-letter type, and a designer might take their dense framing, saint figures in arched niches, and interlaced ornament as models for decorative page layout.
