Lot 57 | Nuremberg Chronicle
Valeur estimée
$ 25 000 – 35 000
First edition of the most extensively illustrated book of the 15th century, a tall copy with contemporary hand-colored map of Europe. The Nuremberg Chronicle is celebrated for its fine and numerous woodcut illustrations, to which Albrecht Dürer is believed to have contributed (see The Making of the Nuremberg Chronicle). It also includes two important double-page maps: a fine world map based on Mela’s Cosmographia of 1482 (see Shirley 19), and a map of northern and central Europe by Hieronymus Münzer (1437–1508) after Nicolas Khyrpffs. The mappa mundi is one of only three 15th-century maps conveying Portuguese knowledge of the Gulf of Guinea from about 1470. The map of Europe is closely associated with Nicolas of Cusa’s Eichstätt map, with which it is thought to share a common manuscript source of c.1439–54. It is therefore claimed to be the first modern map of this region to appear in print. Although published later than the map of Germany in the 1482 Ulm Ptolemy, it was constructed earlier (Campbell). The publication history of the Nuremberg Chronicle is perhaps the best documented of any book printed in this period: the contracts between Schedel and his partners Schreyer and Kammermaister, and between Schedel and the artists, all survive in the Stadtsbibliothek Nuremberg, as do detailed manuscript exemplars of both the Latin and the German editions. The two editions were planned simultaneously, but the German was published five months after the present Latin edition. A. Wilson, The Making of the Nuremberg Chronicle (Amsterdam, 1976). T. Campbell, The Earliest Printed Maps, 1472–1500 (British Library, 1987).
