Also see . . . Johann Neudörfer - German Wikipedia entry (retrieved 08/14/2012). In translation:...Neudörffer was the most important and influential scribe of his time. As such, he had a decisive role in the establishment of the German Fraktur [a calligraphic script] and authored fundamental textbooks having a strong influence on art education students across the German-speaking area. The high esteem in which Neudörffer enjoyed during his lifetime, is among other things reflected in the fact that he was commissioned by Albrecht Dürer to add the texts to Dürer's Apostle pictures.
