It is to be found in an undated volume without name of printer, but identified as having been printed by Knoblochtzer in 1478, and entitled _Thomas (Ebendorfer) de Haselpach: Sermones dominicales super Epistolas Pauli_. This A at the beginning of the first volume is the only typographical ornament in the book, and seems to have been entirely unknown to either of the Strasburg bibliographers. The D, with two armed figures and the two coats of arms, is given by MM. Schorbach and Spirgatis as the earliest specimen of Strasburg ornamentation. It occurs for the first time at the beginning of Knoblochtzer’s _Burgundische Historie_, in which there is no other woodcut. It represents the Duke René of Lothringen and Charles the Fearless of Burgundy with their shields at their feet, and was cut specially for the History of Burgundy, although it occurs several times also in the _Schachzabelbuch_ of Jacobus de Cessolis. The latter volume contains also the large S, with two personages, one in a fool’s cap, which also ornaments the first page of the _Dyalogus Salomonis et Marcolfi_. Another handsome initial from the Knoblochtzer press, and especially well engraved, is the I, with an angel with outspread wings above, Samson forcing open the lion’s mouth below, and branching ornaments on either side. It is to be found on the first page of the _Belial_ of 1483, and several times in the _Leben der Heiligen Drei Könige_; also in the chess-book of De Cessolis already mentioned. In the last two volumes there are eleven of the twelve initials representing the months of the year, which are to be found complete in a Deutscher Kalender, having the form of a little volume. There is a calendar printed probably at Nuremberg, on a single sheet, with the whole of the alphabet, but the letter for January is replaced by one having the Nativity as its subject, the general disposition being much the same as in the initials of Geneva or of Bamberg similarly historiated. These calendar letters are to be met with in a great many Strasburg publications, as, for example, in the _Tractatus clarissimi philosophi et medici Matheoli perusini de memoria augēda per regulas et medicinas_. They also occur in the _De valore et utilitate Missarū pro defuntis celebratarū per sacre theologie professorē Jacobū ordinis cartusiensis edita_. This little tract, which contains amongst other initials the calendar D representing a man trimming the vines, is dated 1493, and as Knoblochtzer ceased to print in 1485, making over his material to Mathias Hupfuff, it is to the latter that it must be attributed. The two P’s, one with a doctor, the smaller with a king, are at the beginning, the first of a _De secretis mulierum_, the second of a tract entitled _De ritu et moribus Indorum_. The letter itself, in the smaller initial, is entirely white, but in the copy from which it was reproduced it is painted in blue and red.
