Dear H-ArtHist members,

I'm writing to request your help with my research. I am trying to
identify host presses (in German: Hostieneisen; ironwork implements
used to make Eucharistic wafers) in German collections. I am
particularly interested in host presses dating from before 1500.

If you have seen a medieval host press in a German collection I would
be very grateful to hear from you.

Any assistance you can offer would be greatly appreciated.
With my thanks and best wishes,
Aden Kumler
