Zusammenfassung

Diese erste Ausgabe der Nürnberger Chronik beschreibt die Weltgeschichte bis zum Jahr ihrer Veröffentlichung im Jahr 1493, zusammen mit einem letzten Abschnitt, der die erwarteten letzten Tage beschreibt. Der Text wurde von Hartmann Schedel zusammengestellt und bei Anton Koberger gedruckt. Die Nürnberger Chronik enthält 1.800 Holzschnitt-Illustrationen von Michael Wolgemut und Wilhelm Pleydenwurff. Neben detaillierten Karten und Ansichten bedeutender europäischer Städte zeigen die Holzschnitte exotische (und oft stark verschönerte) Flora und Fauna, Monster, mythische Stämme und Völker, biblische Szenen und Schauplätze aus dem Alltag der damals bekannten Welt.

Anton Koberger was a German printer and publisher who lived from about 1440/1445 to 1513. He was born in Nuremberg, Germany, and began his career as a printer in the late 1470s. Koberger is best known for his work on the Nuremberg Chronicle, a history of the world published in 1493. This book was one of the most important works of the early Renaissance and helped to spread knowledge and ideas throughout Europe. Koberger's printing press was one of the largest and most successful in Europe in the late 15th and early 16th centuries. He produced a wide range of books, including religious texts, scientific works and literature. Koberger was also involved in politics and was a member of the Nuremberg City Council. He was a prominent figure in the cultural and intellectual life of the city and was known for his support of artists and scholars. Today, Koberger is remembered as one of the most important figures in the history of printing and publishing. His work helped to shape the Renaissance and laid the foundations for modern book production.
