    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[&quot;From a large number of initials cut from choir-books, attributed to the miniaturist active in Lombardy in the decades around and after 1500, some are signed B. F. (or B.). The identification of the artist is controversial. Wescher would like to recognize Francesco Binasco in him and resolve the signature as &quot;Binasco fecit&quot;.<br />
<br />
Characteristic are the pronounced drawing style with strange bulging broken folds and the hair treatment ending in the finest curls. The ubiquitous Leonardesque influence in Milan is particularly noticeable in the faces.<br />
<br />
The initial D, formed from horns with colored leaves and a blue leaf mask on the stem, depicts the martyrdom of St. Agatha shown. Because she did not want to renounce her faith, both her breasts were cut off (legenda aurea) after a number of tortures at the behest of Prefect Quintinian, who is enthroned with the judge&#039;s staff on the left. Her tormentors have tied her to an &#039;ancient&#039; pillar (which may have been the support of a pagan idol) with her arms raised, and a henchman is setting the knife. In the background, the crenellated wall of Catania delimits the place of execution.&quot;<br />

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[On this page of the Litany, a series of invocations to favored saints, the first saint appealed to is Saint Agatha: S[an]c[t]a Agatha ora pro nobis (Saint Agatha, pray for us). The pattern is followed for the prayers to Agnes, Cecilia, Lucy, and Catherine of Alexandria. The images of the saints are aligned with the appropriate text on the left. Each saint is identifiable either by an action associated with her or an emblem she holds. For example, on the top right, Saint Agatha, tied to a stake, has her breasts cut off. The elegant, linear quality of the draftsmanship makes even scenes of torture appear elegant.<br />

1 drawing :<br />
The artist shows sutures where the breasts have been removed. Three Bavarian passers-by are open-mouthed with astonishment. The drawing and its pair apparently refer to the war memorial in the Marktplatz at Prien am Chiemsee, Bavaria, including a sculpture of Saint Catherine of Alexandria sculpted by Friedrich Lommel in 1923. That figure of Saint Catherine is similar to the present figure of Germania, though there are also many differences. The Lex Heinze (referred to in the lettering for the companion drawing) was a German law passed in 1900 forbidding unseemly or obscene representations in public places. The lettering implies that a Dr Casselmann spoke in favour of the law in the Bavarian parliament (Bayerischer Landtag): Dr. jur. Leopold Casselmann (1858-1930, from 1907 Ritter von Casselmann), mayor of Bayreuth 1900-1918, was minister of justice for Bavaria 1918-1919<br />
