Drey schöne Lieder Oder Gesäng, vom heiligen Nachtmal vnsers Herren Jesu Christi, auß einhelliger Lehre der heiligen Schrifft, ... vnd auch der Augspurgischen Confession in Druck verfertiget

1591 · durch Mattheum Harnisch · 5 pictures

A 1591 German hymnal printed by Matthäus Harnisch, containing three songs on the Lord's Supper drawn from Scripture and the Augsburg Confession, held by the Zurich city library. The four small pictures are ornamental printers' headpieces and tailpieces cut as symmetrical scrolled cartouches with acanthus leaves, volutes and fleur-de-lis, mostly in black on cream paper. A designer could draw on their balanced heart-shaped frames, cross-hatched shading and dense interlaced scrollwork for border or divider motifs.
