the Lord, the Last Judgment, Ascension and Descent of the Holy Spirit. The remaining half-page pictures are all composite, made up of different combinations of eight centre-pieces and seventeen sidepieces. The centre-pieces for the most part represent the different judges before whom the trials are heard, the side-pieces the messengers and parties to the suit. The combinations are occasionally a little clumsy, but far less so than in the Strassburg books printed by Gruninger in which the same labour-saving device was adopted, and in excellence of design and delicacy of cutting this Dutch _Belial_ ranks high among illustrated incunabula. Later in 1484 (25 October) Bellaert issued a _Boeck des Golden Throens_ with four-column cuts, often repeated, of an Elder instructing a maiden; in May, 1485, Le Fevre's _Jason_, and a little earlier than this an undated edition of the same author's _Recueil des histoires de Troie_, both in Dutch and both profusely illustrated; on Christmas Eve in the same year a Dutch _De proprietatibus rerum_, and in 1486 versions of Pierre Michault's _Doctrinal_, in which a dreamer is shown the schools of virtue and of vice, and of Guillaume de Deguilleville's _Pelerinage de la vie humaine_, the medieval prototype of Bunyan's _Pilgrim's Progress_. The _De proprietatibus_ is the only one of these books of 1485-6 that I have seen, and its full-page cuts are notable both for their own sake and as having been widely copied, although they illustrate only eleven of the nineteen books. No other Low Country printer showed anything like the enterprise of Leeu and Bellaert in commissioning long sets of original woodcuts from competent craftsmen, but several fine illustrated books were produced by other firms. Beginning in 1484 Peter van Os printed numerous illustrated books at Zwolle, few of which attain excellence. Yet one of the earliest of them, the Sermons of S. Bernard, has a frontispiece of the Virgin and Child and the Saint gazing at them which is unequalled by any other single cut in the Low Country book in its large pictorial effect. At Gouda, in 1486, Gottfried van Os issued the _Chevalier Delibere_ of Olivier de la Marche, with sixteen large cuts, in which the author's minute instructions for each picture are faithfully carried out with extraordinary freedom and spirit, though the ambitious designs are more suitable to frescoes than to book-illustrations. About the end of the century the book was reprinted at Schiedam with the same cuts, from which facsimiles were made in 1898 by Dr. Lippmann and published by the Bibliographical Society.
