Summary

Description
English: Title Page with the Tabula Cebetis, the so-called Cebes Tablet A. Metalcut, total area of print 26.4 × 17.9 cm, sheet 29.5 × 20.2 cm, Kunstmuseum Basel. First used in De patienta, in Quintus Septimius Tertullian's Opera ..., edited by Beatus Rhenanus, Basel: Johann Froben, July 1521. The Tabula Cebetis was a panel at a sanctuary of Chronos, explained in a dialogue attributed to Cebes, a student of Socrates. The panel set out the path living people must follow to achieve true character, interpreted here as beatitude (Christian Rümelin, in Müller et al, p. 491). Three variants (B, C, and D) were also cut, probably without Holbein's direct involvement, including one cut by Hans Herman.
