The Golden Legend was a rich source of inspirations to Romantic + Germanic literature, both sacred + profane. The naive credulity of the work + its wholly unhistorical approach, later around the Reformation with an apt weapon for use in its campaign against the worship of Saints.

Printed form Kiburger's 1493 Nuremberg edition. Johann Schoensperger may be noted among the more prolific printers of illustrated books, but most of his illustrations were based on work previously issued by other printers (e.g. his German Herbarius of 22nd August 1485, based on Schoeffer's Mainz edition of March 1485, and numerous works following in the wake of the Augsburg printers, Baemler and Sorg). His use of the stencil in the colours of his botanical woodcuts in the Herbarius contrasts with Ratdolt's method of colour-printing.2

Owing to the greater handiness of size + to the considerably lower price due to the reduction of costs, these printed editions were in much greater demand than the original.
