Article number 10150409

This volume presents a complete and annotated reproduction of the Nuremberg Chronicle of 1493, one of the most important illustrated books of the incunabula period. Originally compiled by Hartmann Schedel, the chronicle combines world history, biblical narratives, and contemporary knowledge, richly illustrated with woodcuts depicting cities, historical figures, and events. The modern edition includes scholarly commentary and an introduction by Stephan Füssel, which contextualize the work’s historical significance, production, and influence within early book printing and visual culture.
