Content
 A `Bible of the poor', intended to allow a simple public to become acquainted with the Bible by means of pictures. This is a simple booklet with the history of the cross of Jesus, in pictures, each with a four-lined verse in letterpress underneath. It has been possible to reconstruct that the woodcuts were made from sawn-up blocks that had been used for a block book that has not survived.
