| | Ars Moriendi (The Art of Dying) by UNKNOWN MASTER, German |
 | | The Ars Moriendi was the most popular and broadly circulated of all the block books, for it dealt with a subject never far from one's thoughts - the hopes and fears of the living. |
 | | The illustrations in the Ars Moriendi showed angels protecting the good, and demons torturing the sinner. |
 | | This book was almost a necessity, for the clergy, overworked as it was, did not always arrive in time to offer solace to the dying. |
