Nuremberg: Anton Koberger for Sebald Schreyer, Date: 1493. First edition. THE FIRST ILLUSTRATED ENCYCLOPEDIA. First edition, and a remarkable wide-margined complete copy, preserved in its original binding bearing the city of Vienna's coat of arms, of the first illustrated encyclopedia. Published in 1493, at the dawn of the discovery period, in Nuremberg by Europe's largest printer, Anton Koberger, this ambitious illustrated world history was commissioned by two of the town's merchants. Schedel, a medical doctor, humanist, and book collector, assembled the text from a variety of classical and medieval sources, doubtless drawing on his own large personal library. Michael Wolgemut and Wilhelm Pleydenwurff were brought in to design and illustrate the work, incorporating over 1800 images from over 600 individual woodcuts, more than any other previously published volume. A young Albrecht Dürer, who was apprenticed to Wolgemut whilst the book was in preparation, may have had a hand in some of the designs. The work was revolutionary in its juxtaposition of related images with text. In a chronicle covering the whole span of history from the Creation to the time of publication, with a look forward to the Last Judgment, the woodcuts include depictions of Biblical characters, legendary scenes, European cityscapes, and portraits of rulers and popes. Many of the larger illustrations were sold separately as prints, often water-coloured. Some copies of the book also had their illustratio ...

Published in 1493 by Anton Koberger, one of the great printers of the time, the Nuremberg Chronicle is the work of the German humanist and physician from Nuremberg Hartmann Schedel (1440-1514), who drew his historical and geographical sources from his extensive library, one of the largest book collections of the 15th century. Among the designers and engravers of the woodcuts were the famous Michael Wolgemut (1434-1519), master of Albrecht Dürer, and his son-in-law Wilhelm Pleydenwurff (1460 ? -1494).The chronicle contains 1,800 figures from 645 different woodcuts, spread over most of the folios, some of them very large, with various motifs, including numerous biblical scenes, representations of cities or groups of monuments, figurative genealogical tables, etc. « One of the most extraordinary works ever produced » (The World enco ...

[publisher: Anton Koberger, Germany] First Edition This work by 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.

It was surrounded with wooden hedges and sharp posts, and the walls were built of wood.' The verso describes Pope Sixtus IV of the Year of Christ 1471, and Pope Innocent VIII of the Year of Christ 1484 with two small images. Approximately ...
