See Lotz-Die Entstehungen der Modelbucher -in Zeitscrift fur Bucherfreunde 1926. Kumpst - Das Alteste alle Bechannten Modelbucher (Gastel 1525).  Lichtwark - Das Modelbuchs der Peter Guntel- Studien zur Kunst geschicte. Leipzig, 1885. Tottinger - Zum Holzschnittwerke  Geroge Lembergers (Note on title border and cut on verso) Mitt. Graph. Kunste 1906, v. XXIV, pp. 1-9. Zimmerman - Beitrage zur Bibel illustration pp. 26-27, note 60. According to Lotz (loc.cit) the borders of the 1524 book might well have been drawn by Lucas Cranach the Elder, and cut in his Wittenger shop.  First of five editions of the second (and earliest dated) printed pattern book.  A complete copy of the fifth edition is in the MMA (18.66.12). Rottinger in the Mitt. loc.cit. attributes the title border to Lemberger. Zimmerman, however, does not agree and says that this and several other borders are more likely to be the work of the Master of the Jacob's Ladder.  Title has been restored (arm of woman on right and left column). 16 leaves, unnumbered (verso last leaf blank). The two middle signatures are from Guentels' books (Lotz 3 and 60. See 1529 and 1532, 1544 eds. in MMA. They must be later than 1544 or at least printed after the MMA 1544. Note break b 3 recto - same cut in 1544 shows break just beginning. Watermark: Not found in Briquet. Does not agree with mark cited by Lotz in Zeitschrift fur Bucherfreunde 1926, p. 49, as being in book 1a and 1b of his 1933 biliography - a Gothic Pnith quartre - foil. Marks cited by Lotz in L.zeeL.5 in MMA, (M.P.B. Thy, 1960).
