Der Antichrist und die fünfzehn Zeichen
(Utah State University, Merrill-Cazier Library, Special Collections & Archives, ASL 838.3 An87 v. 1.)
Der Antichrist und die fünfzehn Zeichen vor dem Jüngsten Gericht (translated from German as “The Antichrist and the fifteen signs before the last judgement”) is a legend drawn from the apocryphal “Apocalypse of Thomas” where the Antichrist brings about the end of the world. This block book version dates from the 1460s and features images of the Antichrist represented as a figure followed around by a demon, raising the King of Lybia’s [sic] parents, and pretending to be dead.
