The Nuremberg Chronicle brings you to Nuremberg, Germany, where a richly illustrated work emerged from an imperial trading city. Its woodcuts and maps present world history from creation through the fifteenth century.
Hartmann Schedel compiled the volume in 1493, and Anton Koberger printed it in Nuremberg. Twelve major trade routes connected the city with surrounding regions and strengthened its wealth. Metalworkers produced church bells, armour, swords and musical instruments for a prosperous market. An elected council governed the city and its surrounding territories with unusual autonomy. Its intellectual life valued classical learning, history and rhetoric despite lacking a university.
