Description: '16. S. ERENTRUDIS S. RUPERTI NEPTIS.' (Erentrude, the niece of Saint Rupert.) . Erentrude as an absess is taking care of the needy with washing of heads and feet. Erentrude (also known as Ehrentraud, Erendrudis, Erentruy, Erndrude, Arentruda, Ariotruda, and Arndruda), was a saint and abbess, born during the end of the 7th century, probably in present-day Germany or Austria. With an 8-line caption in Latin below the image. Copperplate engraving on hand laid (verge) paper. Watermark: Double headed eagle (not visible on every sheet). Sheet size: 19,5 x 27,5 cm. (7,7 x 10,8 inch). Image size: 15 x 21,5 cm. (5,9 x 8,5 inch). From 'Bavaria Sancta ...', by Matthäus Rader, published in Munich. From the original first ed. published 1615 (vol.1), 1624 (vol.2) and 1627 (vol.3). Most plates from vol. 1. Plates were sold bound as such but also sold individually. Very scarse. This hagiography work was commissioned by Maximilian I (1598-1651) to memorize the holy dead and highlight the power of their relics and devotion as an attempt to rewrite Catholic hagiography in light of Humanist criticism and Counter Reformation. I was also a piece of propaganda to glorify Maximilian and his confessional, political and territorial ambitions.
