Hartmann Schedel/ Michael Wolgemut/ Wilhelm Pleydenwurff - The Nuremberg Chronicle (Liber Chronicarum) - 1493
N. 85711201
Original incunabulum woodcut leaf LXXXI (81) from the Nuremberg Chronicle of Hartmann Schedel, the first Latin edition from 1493.
An incunabulum (cradle print) is a book printed in Europe before 1 January 1501, when the printing press was still in its infancy, and of which the text is set in movable type. They are now rarely seen on the market.
The Nuremberg Chronicle (Liber Chronicarum) by Hartmann Schedel is one of the most famous and best illustrated incunabula. The beautiful woodcuts were made by Michael Wohlgemut (1434/37-1519) and his stepson Wilhelm Pleydenwurff (1450-1494), a teacher of Albrecht Dürer. Dürer probably also contributed to the execution of many of the woodcuts for this incunabulum.
The beautifully coloured woodcuts of Folio LXXXI depict on the recto side several portraits, including those of the philosophers Crispus and Polemon.
The verso side shows the lineage of the Kings of Syria and the genealogy of Mattathias, who was a priest and the son of Jonathan, as well as his five sons.
This is not a facsimile edition, but an original leaf printed in the 15th century - so 531 years old!
Dimensions: 43.5 x 29 cm.
Good condition, left white margin with light spot, see foto's for better impression.
