SCHEDEL, Hartmann (1440-1514)

Liber chronicarum. Nuremberg : Anton Koberger, 12 juillet 1493.

L'auteur compile les informations de différentes sources pour raconter l'histoire du monde de la Genèse à 1493, offrant au passage de nombreuses vues de villes européennes. En 1490, Nuremberg est un centre marchand et culturel qui compte parmi les villes les plus peuplées d'Europe. L'édition latine, destinée à un public international, a été publiée quelques mois avant l'édition allemande. ISTC is00307000 ; Goff S307 ; BMC, II, 437 ; GW M40784 ; A. Wilson, The Making of the Nuremberg chronicle, pp. 28 ("the Schedel Chronicle very rightly became famous because of its illustrations, its extraordinary graphic design, its printing, and for its woodcuts and descriptions of cities. The Nuremberg Chronicle remains one of the great works in graphic art of the fifteenth century.")
