This is a 1500 Latin incunabulum printed in Strasbourg by Johann Grüninger, a legend of Saint Catherine of Alexandria written by Frater Petrus for a learned clerical and lay readership. Its pictures are small black-and-white woodcut scenes with simple framing and ornate decorated initials, offering a designer models of late medieval compositional blocking and crowded narrative staging.
