Hitherto pertaineth also a strange portent and a prodigious token from heaven, in the year of our Lord. 1505.1 In the which year, under the reign of Maximilian Emperor, there appeared in Germany, upon the vestures of men as well of Priests, as lay men, upon women's garments also, and upon their rocks as they were spinning, diverse prints and tokens of the nails, of the sponge, of the spare, of the Lords, coat, and of bloody Crosses. &c. All which were seen upon their caps and gowns, as is most certainly testified and recorded by divers, which both did see & also did write upon the same. Of whom first was Maximilian the Emperor, who both had and showed the same to Franciscus Mirandula, which wrote thereupon a book in Latin meter called Staurostichon: wherein for the more credit, these verses be contained.
