Woodcut illustration (leaf [p]4r, f. cxxxiiii) of Pope Joan, hand-colored in red, green, yellow and black, from an incunable German translation by Heinrich Steinhöwel of Giovanni Boccaccio's De mulieribus claris, printed by Johannes Zainer at Ulm ca. 1474 (cf. ISTC ib00720000). One of 76 woodcut illustrations (1 on leaf [e]8v dated 1473), each 80 x 110 mm., depicting scenes from the life of the women chronicled (for a full list of subjects, cf. W.L.

Il n'y en a que trois, qui n'ont qu'un seul trait carré."--Schreiber.
