The Nuremberg Chronicles

Hartmann Schedel

0/5 ( ratings)

The Nuremberg Chronicle, despite lacking an actual title, is one of the best documented early printed books. Though written in the Renaissance, the manuscript follows the medieval narrative tradition of the story of the universe. Interestingly, the artists' workshop which designed illustrations apprenticed a young Albrecht Dürer from 1486-1489. Financially, the Chronicle was truly a Nuremberg community project. The patron-publishers, Sebald Schreyer and brother-in-law Sebastian Kammermaister, were both wealthy Nuremberg businessmen widely involved in the city's economic and cultural affairs.
