JOST. (1) Dutch form of Latin Justus,
meaning "just." (2) German and Swiss name of uncertain
derivation, perhaps also from Justus, but more probably from Latin Jodocus,
meaning "sportive." (Yonge)
Little Masters. A name
applied to certain designers, who worked for engravers, etc., in the
sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Called little because their
designs were on a small scale, fit for copper or wood. The most
famous are Jost Amman, for the minuteness of his work; Hans Burgmair, who
made drawings in wood illustrative of the triumph of the Emperor
Maximilian; Hans Sebald Beham; Albert Altdorfer, and Henrich Aldegraver.
Albert Dürer and Lucas van Leyden made the art renowned and popular.
