PRAYER TO SAINT JEROME – HIERONYMUS (347-420). Gebet zu S. Hieronymus: O Säliger und hoher Lehrer Hieronymus . [Augsburg: Johann Froschauer, c.1498]. Only known copy of this intercessory prayer to St Jerome , who is depicted in his typical iconography as a hermit, kneeling in penance before a crucifix and holding a stone his hand to beat his bare chest. He is accompanied by his lion and cardinal's hat. The traces of glue on the verso suggest that it may have been pasted onto a wooden board, and may have survived as a binding pastedown. The woodblock survives at Berlin as part of the Derschau collection. Arnim, Schäfer, 136; GW 12416; Schreiber 1528; ISTC ih00179500; VE15 G-22. Single leaf woodcut with xylographic and typographic text, printed on one side only (387 x 268mm). Large woodcut illustration (319 x 250mm) 7 lines of text in type 3:92G, coloured by a contemporary hand (lightly wormed, lower right corner torn and repaired with loss of some words in the last two lines, browned, lightly soiled, evidence of glue on verso). Provenance: Zürich, Schindler family, possibly since the 19th century, perhaps Dietrich Schindler – Otto Schäfer, Schweinfurt (monogram stamp).
