Registrum huius operis Libri cronicarum cũ figuris et ÿmagĩbus ab inicio mũdi Title commonly known as: Nuremberg chronicle [Nuremberg : Anton Koberger, July 12, 1493] 1 online resource ([20], CCXCIX, [9] leaves : illustrations, maps) This is the first edition of a book commonly known as "The Nuremberg Chronicle," which details the history of the world through the year of its publication, in 1493, along with a final section describing the anticipated last days. The text was compiled by Hartmann Schedel and was printed at the press of Anton Koberger. The Nuremberg Chronicle contains over one thousand woodcut illustrations by Michael Wolgemut and Wilhelm Pleydenwurff. Along with detailed maps of major European cities, the woodcuts depict exotic (and often highly embellished) flora and fauna, monsters, mythical tribes and peoples, biblical scenes, and settings from everyday life around the then-known world. Imprint based on colophon. Gatherings unsigned. Leaves [CCCI]-[CCCII], [CCCVIII] are blank. Errors in foliation: leaves XXXIX, CCXXIX, and CCXLVII misnumbered XIXX, CCXXXI, and CCXLXVII respectively. Xylographic title page; initial spaces. Second colophon (leaf [CCC]r): "...
