| dc.description | An engraving with sixteen scenes concerning Saint Odilia and her relics is preserved in Liège (Belgium). The print was designed by Johann Schott and engraved by Johann Heinrich Löffler the Younger, both working (at least temporarily) in Cologne. Only very few copies remain, including one in Cuijk (the Netherlanda) and as many as three in the Kölnisches Stadtmuseum. While the 1621 Latin edition of Johannes Banelius’ life of Saint Odilia served as a literary source for the engraving, the 1648 Chronicon of Godefridus van Lith is, in turn, based on the Saint Odilia print. If Schott created the preparatory drawings in Cologne, where a fragment of the print design is conserved, the first edition must date from no earlier than 1632, the year he was registered as a master in this city. This aligns with the potential involvement of Clamor Averkamp, who became prior of the Cologne Crosiers in 1636 and seems to have played a role in the production of the print. | en_US |
