Lobgesang Zu Ehren der Vielseligsten Hochgebenedeyten Jungfr. Maria Zu Einsidlen

Soder, H.J · 1652 · Bey David Hautt · 2 pictures

A 1652 German devotional hymn book printed in Lucerne by David Hautt, written by H. J. Soder for Catholic believers in praise of the Virgin Mary at Einsiedeln. The title page is set in blackletter type inside a rectangle of decorative rules and shows a woman reading at a desk beside a small table and open book, with a dark ornamental frame at its base. A designer could take from it the dense, heavy blackletter layout and the scrolled ornament work as models for classic printed devotional typography.
