Lerff, Kaspar.
[Regensburg] : Gedruckt zu Regenspurg durch Johann Burger.,
1587..
The Regensburger "Freischießen" in 1586 was a festival featuring a target shooting competition where the winner could "shoot" himself free from taxes, gain prizes or other legal rights. RThe text is written in humorous verses by the Kaspar Lerff, one of the fair's "Brutschenmaister" (masters of ceremonies). Five of the full-page woodcuts show the standard-bearers Barbara Fugger, Maria Schiltlin, Fides Pichelmayer, Katharina Meisinger and Ursula Förstel. Three woodcuts show the virgins Katharina Waltmann, Cassandra Pürcklin and Susanna Wieland. 2 woodcuts each show two unnamed young boys bearing standards on which different prize money is noted (100, 80, 60, and 40 guilders). The title page shows the Regenburg coat of arms with laurel wreath.
