This woodcut appears on the verso of the title page of John Eck’s reply to Philipp Melanchthon about the Leipzig Disputation. It shows St. Jerome in prototypical fashion, kneeling before a crucifix and smiting himself on the chest with a stone. It also includes two of the other 'attributes' that typically occur in his portraits: the lion and the cardinal’s hat. The printer may have used it as a kind of printer's device, and some have characterized it as a loose copy of the work of Wolf Traut
