Gazing upward and extending his hands outward in prayer, an unclothed martyr burns at the stake. According to Luborsky and Ingram, vol. 1, p. 378, this woodcut illustrates the suffering of a German martyr. The image appears three times in the third edition (1576) to illustrate the burning of Wolfgangus Schuch (at Lotharing) (sig. HHh1r, p. 857); John Bent (at Deuise) (sig. UUu1v [bottom], p. 1002); and William Hunter (sig. SSSs3r, p. 1465). Luborsky and Ingram 11223/39. JPEG file (3.91 MB).
