A 1507 German criminal law code, the Bamberg Carolina, compiled by Johann von Schwarzenberg and printed in Bamberg by Johann Pfeyl, with woodcuts by Wolf Traut for legal officials and courts. Its pages show scrolls of German verse above framed scenes of judges, accused men, witnesses and armed guards, drawn in bold black outline with dense hatching and rich figure poses a designer could adapt for narrative panels.
