Please note:
When I purchased this, I was told that it was from a 1483 Anton Koberger German Bible, as per the cards seen in the photos. The type does look very similar to the German Bible printed in 1483 by Anton Koberger. After some research, I found that Koberger had also printed a single edition of the “Golden Legend” in German in 1488. Both the Bayerische Staatsbibliothek in Munich and the Herzogin Anna Amalia library in Weimar have nicely digitized copies with indexes. People usually take better care of their Bibles than they do of regular books, which makes this leaf harder to find.
Originally composed around 1260 by the Italian Dominican preacher and archbishop of Genoa, Jacobus de Voragine (c. 1230-1298), the Golden Legend contains stories, event on the lives, miracles, and martyrdom of various Desert Fathers, early medieval and contemporary saints. Koberger illustrated his 1488 edition with 259 woodcut designs.
This leaf is a beautiful sample of his work.
The woodcut and the story are from;
Johannes mit dem güldnen Mund: Eine Legende
(Johannes with the Golden Mouth: A Legend).
