Geschichte des Lebens, der Marter, und der Wunderwerke des heiligen Johannes v. Nepomuck Domherrn zu Prag

1700 · [s.l.] : [s.n.] · 5 pictures

A German-language devotional life of Saint John of Nepomuk, a canon of Prague, printed in 1700 with no named publisher or place, aimed at lay readers interested in his martyrdom and miracles. The pictures are small woodcut-style tailpieces and headpieces: a putto writing with a quill beside a flourished initial, a winged triangle of light flanked by angels, a symmetrical floral ornament, and a child reading a book among plants, offering compact decorative motifs for borders and vignettes.

Jan, of Nepomuk, Saint, 14th cent
