This paper aims to study the ensemble of xylographies that illustrates the Libro del Anticristo princeps edition [Zaragoza: Pablo Hurus, 1496]. A signi cant part of the woodcuts comes from German printing houses, where they had been used in three Antichrists, accompanied with a brief piece of text and already printed in Strasbourg around 1482. The interrelationship between written text and visual component is entirely modi ed in the Spanish printing, as they have been used as an accompaniment for the scholar text arranged by Martín Martínez de Ampiés. The attention is drawn to eight xylographies from di erent executions and probably whittled in Pablo Hurus’ studio. These new images give more seriousness to the en- semble, as for them showing a growing anti-Semitism and for the strict presence of Antichrist and his devil custodian.
