Original incunabulum leaf CXCII (Folio 192) 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 CXCII on the recto side show 2 beautiful illustrations. The first one is of Henry the fourth, a Roman Emperor. The second illustration is of Rudolph, a duke. On the verso side, the Monastery of Grandmont is depicted as a walled institution. Furthermore, Stephen of Grandmont, the founder of the Abbey of Grandmont is shown. Next, Peter Damiani, a doctor and cardinal is illustrated. Then, Joannes IIsaac Benimiram, a physician as well as Seno the bishop of Trier and lastly Arnuf, a pope are also shown. This is not a facsimile edition, but an original leaf printed in the 15th century - so 532 years old! Rare in coloured version. Dimensions: 44 x 30,6 cm Good condition.
