A 1514 German sermon by Saint John Chrysostom, translated by Jakob Wimpheling and printed in Strasbourg by Johann Grüninger, held by the Boston Public Library and once owned by Hale of Alderley. The pictures are small woodcut and hand-coloured scenes, with a bookplate, a heraldic coat of arms and a library seal, and a designer might take their dense linework, spare frames and trees-and-figures compositions as models for early print decoration.
