Warer verstand, von des herren Nachtmal. Vff die weyß zuo singen, Es ist das hayl vns komen her, etc
A 1527 German hymn sheet titled Warer verstand, von des herren Nachtmal, probably printed by Johann Prüss the Younger, meant for congregational singing of a Lord's Supper hymn to a known melody. The page is a letterpress title block framed by a dense woodcut border of scrolling foliage, knotwork and small grotesque figures, with a lone woodcut ornament below the text; a designer could borrow its tight framing, blackletter hierarchy and ornate border.
