Saints Valentine, Stephen, and Maximilian, the Patron Saints of Passau
Saint Stephen, at center, with the symbols of his matyrdom, is flanked two other patron saints of Passau: Saint Valentine at left and Saint Maximilian at right. In this second state the coat of arms of Bishop Wigeleus von Fröschel are included at bottom center, having replaced the coat of arms of the previous bishop found on the first state. It was used as the frontispiece of the 1503 and 1505 editions of the Passau Missal (Missale Pataviense), published by Erhard Ratdolt in Augsburg.
