Liturgical book

Commissioned by W. Fröschl, bishop of Passau. Early example of single-impression type. Humanist influence is perceptible in the directions for reading lessons in church. Beneath the printer’s mark is a note that records that the book was corrected by the choral vicars of the cathedral of Passau, and Johannes Staindel, its custos.

Winterburger’s tetrastich over printer’s mark: “Signa vides lector: hyberna ex arce Ioannes || Anguineas inter iaculum amentabile spiras. || Anguis vt etatem: cariosas ille lituras || Comit, in inuidiam gerit artis tela decorem.”
Below the printer’s mark: “Iste libellus est correctus ꝑ vica⸗||rios Chori & Johannem Stain⸗||del Custodem Eccłie Patauieñ.”

Woodcut on title page: arms of Wigileus Fröschl, surrounded by decorative osier frame surmounted by singing birds. The lappets of the mitre are inscribed “STEFFANVS SANCTVS”, recalling St Stephen the Protomartyr, patron of the cathedral of Passau. The woodcut is dated 1513.
