Von Sant Brandon ein hübsch lieblichs Lesen. : Was er Wunders auff dem Meer erfaren hat

1511 · [Erfurt? : Mathes Maler?] · 1 picture

A German devotional prose narrative of Saint Brendan's sea voyage, printed around 1511, probably at Erfurt by Mathes Maler, for a lay readership. The single picture is an ornate armorial shield with a crest, scrolling acanthus-like foliage, a banner reading GAUDED, and a bird and chevron on the field, a decorative heraldic device a designer could adapt for emblems, crests, or border ornament.

Brendan, Saint, the Voyager, approximately 483-577
