Silvestre Weygel was created by Paulo W and released by Intellecta Style. Silvestre Weygel contains 1 design. p > A complete figurative alphabet was released by one Peter Flotner (ca. 1485-1546) in 1534. In Flotner's alphabet, naked or nearly-naked figures are postured singly or gotten rid of in sets to form the various letters. Unlike de Grassi's alphabet, we find only human figures here, no other animals.

And unlike Tory's illustrations, these letters seem an end in themselves, instead of the means of demonstrating a style technique. Flotner's alphabet was imitated by other engravers. The letters G and N are replicated from an alphabet published by one Martin Weygel in Bavaria in 1560.

Peter Flötner, c.1485-1546, German medalist and artisan, perhaps Swiss by birth. He was active in ornamental sculpture, wood carving, and other crafts, making medals and plaques and furnishing designs of classical concepts for silversmiths. He remained in Nuremberg by 1522 and did the majority of his work there, although he made two trips to Italy. Flötner is now considered as a pioneer of the German Renaissance. His Kunstbuch was released in 1549. In the Metropolitan Museum are five of his bronze plaques illustrating biblical episodes.
