Hartmann Schedel's Weltchronik, or Chronicle of the World (better known today as the Nuremberg Chronicle, after the German city in which it was created), was a groundbreaking encyclopedic work and at the time the most lavishly illustrated book ever printed in Europe. Both a historical reference work and a contemporary inventory of urban culture at the end of the 15th century, the Chronicle was to have a remarkable influence on the cultural, ecclesiastical and intellectual history of the Middle Ages. It was particularly notable for its more than 1,800 woodcut illustrations depicting events from the Bible, human monstrosities, portraits of kings, queens, saints and martyrs, and allegorical pictures of miracles, as well as views of a great number of modern cities, many of which had never been documented before.Today, copies of the Chronicle sell for up to 200,000 Euros; we've procured a rare hand-colored copy, true to the original in every respect, and created a complete facsimile of utmost quality. For readers who don't read Old German, this edition includes summaries of the main stories, making it easy to navigate and fully appreciate this remarkable historical work.
