Der Geistlich Buchsbaum. Von dem Streit des Fleisches, wider den Geist. Ein ander Geistlich Lied, Wider die drey Ertzfeind der Seelen
A German devotional pamphlet, the Geistlich Buchsbaum, issued in Basel in 1589 by Samuel Apiarius with verses attributed to Hans Witzstat and Johannes Sanffdorffer, aimed at lay Protestant readers. The single picture is a small woodcut vignette of God the Father enthroned on clouds, one hand raised in blessing or instruction, with a radiant halo and hatched shading, a compact device a designer could adapt for a heavenly or divine motif.
