JOST. Perhaps
from Latin Justus (q.v.), meaning "just,
right," but more probably from Jodocus
(q.v.), meaning "sportive." (History of Christian Names, Yonge,
1884). Usage: Germany, Holland, Switzerland.
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
Sebald Beham; Albert Altdorfer, and Henrich Aldegraver.
Albert Dürer and Lucas van Leyden made the art renowned and popular.
