Shelved in Rm. A. The Nuremberg Chronicle (also known as the "Liber Chronicarum") "is, after the Gutenberg Bible, probably the most celebrated of early printed books. It is a compendium of history, geography and the wonders of the world as viewed from medieval Nuremberg, with some 1800 illustrations provided by the multiple use, for different subjects, of 645 beautiful woodblocks." (n.b., quote from "The Nuremberg Chronicle Designs" by Adrian Wilson, printed for The Roxburghe Club of San Francisco and the Zamorano Club of Los Angeles, 1969). Wilson became renowned for his printing and book design work at his San Francisco printing operation, The Press at Tuscany Valley, throughout the 1960s and 70s. In 1967, he released influential title in the genre of Books on Books, THE DESIGN OF BOOKS. Book making perforated the entirety of Wilson's life. With the help and interest of his wife, Joyce Lancaster Wilson, Wilson invested his attention in studying the entire production process of THE NUREMBERG CHRONICLE, the first known book to include a rudimentary map of Europe, a plethora of woodcuts, and a history of the world beginning at creation. The book that came out of it, Wilson's THE MAKING OF THE NUREMBERG CHRONICLE, is an astute and thorough study on one of the earliest examples of exemplary book making. This particular copy includes correspondence between William Gardiner, an English author, and Adrian Wilson. 1395292. Special Collections.
