Beiträge zu Dürer's Weltanschauung; eine Studie über die drei Stiche: Ritter, Tod und Teufel, Melancholie und Hieronymus im Gehäus
A scholarly German study by Paul Weber, published in Strassburg by J.H.E. Heitz in 1900, examining Albrecht Dürer's engravings Knight, Death and Devil, Melancholia and St Jerome in his Study. The pictures reproduce woodcut and engraved diagrams and figures, including a tiered tower of learning, an allegorical personification of the liberal arts, a seated winged figure beside a polyhedron and sphere, and a torn astronomical wheel, which suggest how Renaissance scholarship mixed symbolism, geometry and text on one page.
