Description

English: This unique prayer book was probably made for Frederick the Wise, Elector of Saxony. The image of the Man of Sorrows by the Column, illustrated here, is placed at the end of the pictorial narrative. Unlike the other engravings in the series, it does not depict a particular event from the Passion. As a symbolic image, it combines Christ's sacrifice and its redemptive meaning, both of which are reflected in the text of the facing prayer.
