Scope and content
The Woodcuts in this volume are among the most famous work of Hans Weiditz, of the Augsburg school. In fact, Weiditz has frequently been called "Der Petrarcameister" or "The Master of the Trostspiegel". The blocks actually were cut by 1520, but were not published until 1532; they later came into Egenolff's hands, and the leaf herewith, is from his edition of 1572.
