Description: The fifteen woodcuts contain mnemonic devices for memorizing the events recorded in the Gospels, with explanations in Latin verse by Petrus von Rosenheim. Each couplet begins with a different letter in the order of the alphabet (excluding K, X, Y, Z, but including I). The letters at the beginning of each couplet correspond to numbers that appear within each woodcut. The book is edited, with and introduction by Georg Simler (using the pseudonym Georgius Relmisius). The woodcuts are copied from those published previously, without the verses of Petrus, in a block book entitled Ars memorandi.
