Geiler von Kaysersberg, Johann, 1445-1510, Otther, Jacob, active 1500 · 1511 · [Strasbourg : Johann Prüss] · 24 pictures

This is a 1511 Strasbourg printing by Johann Prüss of Johann Geiler von Kaysersberg's sermons, gathered by Jacob Otther and arranged around a Ship of Fools theme, aimed at preachers and lay readers. The woodcuts are small black-line blocks set within the text, showing fools, scholars and a traveller in simple outline with bold dark shading, a model for compact narrative pictures that work beside dense type.

Brant, Sebastian, 1458-1521
