Someone who replied off-list also suggested that the title page typeface was suspicious. I do not think the entire book is a facsimile, but will look more closely to see if the title page might be a later addition - some of the front matter appears to be missing,
so it could be that someone was replacing a missing title page.</div>

I had not thought to check the USTC; those search results appear to be for the other similar title which is bound in this volume - the first title is "von Advent bis Ostern"; the second is "von Ostern bis auffs Advent". The title page and running title typefaces
are pretty different between the two titles, but unfortunately I am not sure who the printer of the second title is as I am lacking the colophon.</div>

<div>Good morning, Ann,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I am wondering if this is a later facsimile edition of an imprint first published in 1527. At first glance, the typeface looks more modern to me, but I could be wrong. See for example the
<a href="https://www.digitale-sammlungen.de/en/view/bsb10329940?page=2,3">title page</a> of this circa 1520s Martin Luther.
<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>You may have already looked at it, but Universal Short Title Catalogue might be of help. See search results for the title + date
<a href="https://www.ustc.ac.uk/explore?q=Auslegung%20der%20Evangelien%20%2B%201527&fqa=&fqr=&fqc=&fqt=&fqp=&fqf=&fql=&fqs=&fqd=&fqo=&fqn=&fqyf=&fqyt=&fqlo=&fqis=&fqpm=&fqpf=">
here</a>.<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>In terms of the weird grid pattern, it looks to me like the printer was using a damaged block that was also slightly smaller than the space they were hoping to fill on the page. In order to fill up the missing space, they used a combination of smaller
rectangular blocks which they possibly printed twice in two different configurations, resulting in the grid pattern. I believe that the original block itself was missing the lower portion with the coat of arms. In other words, the grid pattern is not obscuring
the lower half of the block, but filling in empty space (there is some overlap, which leads me to believe that the larger more elaborate block was printed first).

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>

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>
