Wittemberger Heiligthumsbuch
Wittemberger Heiligthumsbuch is a German illustrated book of relics, printed by Munich publisher G. Hirth in 1884 after the 1509 Wittenberg original by Lucas Cranach. The pictures are woodcuts of ornate reliquary shrines, architectural pinnacles, and a triptych with saints and a scene of relic display, all in dense black line with decorative borders and text blocks that a designer could take as a model for ornamental framing and Gothic detail.
