Description
-
An ornately decorated title page. Two figures playing musical instruments appear atop the pedestals on either side of the illustration. The male figure on the left is playing the panpipes (or syrinx), and his horns and goat’s legs indicate that this is possibly a representation of the Greek deity Pan. The figure on the right is female and also has the legs of a goat, but it is difficult to ascertain her identity from this illustration alone. Above these pedestals, we see two helmets and two shields, the latter of which bear the coats of arms of Lang (to whom the edition is dedicated) and Wirsung. In the centre of the image, we see the title of the work. It appears to be either framed by an opening, or placed upon an altar of some sort.
