I have an odd woodcut title page border I'm hoping someone here might have some ideas on. The book in question is Auslegung der Evangelien von Advent bis Ostrern / gepredigt durch Martin Luthern. Wittemberg : Johannes Grunenberg, 1527. I can't find any record
of this title in OCLC, or in any of the reference works I currently have access to, so any tips on possible reference materials would be appreciated as well.</div>

I've posted a photo of the title page here: <a href="https://photos.app.goo.gl/y7o4c1o56BCaoTQPA" id="OWAd14201f5-6c3c-a3e0-dc6b-5e6b8ffbca08" class="OWAAutoLink">
https://photos.app.goo.gl/y7o4c1o56BCaoTQPA</a> The woodcut border has clearly been altered, perhaps to cover some content in the lower portion? It almost looks like there may have been a coat of arms that was being hidden? But I can't figure out how or why
that grid-like pattern was created. Has anyone else seen anything like this? I'm also wondering if the border block may have been reused from another edition or publication?</div>
