Item Details
Description
Double sided double folio leaf of the "Nuremberg Chronicle", printed in 1493.
Size 1. by 22" (57,3 x 39,7 cm)
The oldest panoramic view of Erfurt from the Schedel’s Nuremberg Chronicle, printed by Koberger in 1493 in Nuremberg. Verso text and nine little woodcuts including popes and kings.
The woodcut shows Erfurt from the east with the bridge in front of the Krampfertor, also called Osttor, crosses the Gera. A landmark of the city is the on the woodcut right to see Petersberg with the indicated Benedictine monastery and the Peterskirche. On the left is the Domberg with the two collegiate churches Beatae Mariae Virginis (Dom) and Sancti Severi. Between both churches lies the large cathedral staircase.
This work written by Hartmann Schedel [1440-1514] is an illustrated world history which is based on the Bible, which follows the story of human history related in the Bible and includes the histories of a number of important Western cities. Written in Latin by Hartmann Schedel it appeared in 1493. It is a well documented incunabulum, one of the first to successfully combine illustrations and text.
This epic history divides human history into 7 ages. Published and printed by Anton Koberger, the godfather of Albrecht Durer and the most successful German publisher of his day. The woodcut illustrations were made in the workshop of Michael Wolgemut [1434 - 1519], with an unpredcedented number of 1,809 illustrations. These woodblocks include views of cities and towns, battles, kings, and saints. Some images represent actual cities, and other images are purely imaginative.
