Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The Nuremberg physician Hartmann Schedel (1440-1514) is known mainly as the compiler of the World Chronicle which was published by Anton Koberger in a Latin and German version in 1493. The Chronicle is the most lavishly illustrated book printed in the 15th century, famous particularly for the views of European towns it contains. In contrast, the Chronicle'stext has received only scant attention. Hartmann Schedel compiled it from a large variety of sources that he had assembled over decades in the course of his studies and professional career, which took him to the universities of Leipzig and Padua before he finally settled in his home town of Nuremberg for the rest of his life.This book accompanies an exhibition shown on the occasion of the 500th anniversary of Hartmann Schedel's death at the Bayerische Staatsbibliothek in Munich, where the largest part of the learned doctor's library has been preserved since 1571. Some 40 manuscripts and early printed books are presented. Schedel's book collection is one of the very rare examplesof a late mediaeval private library to have survived the centuries in an unusually complete state. It spans a wide range of subjects, beginning with university textbooks on the arts and on medicine which Schedel copied by hand, and includes a large number of early printed books produced by German and Italian presses. Schedel was interested in nearly all subjects:rhetoric, astronomy, philosophy, classical and humanist literature, historiography, geography and cosmography, medicine, law, theology. He enhanced his books with painted and printed images and stored letters and other documents in them. Some of his manuscripts contain autobiographical information, as well as portraits, inventories of property and a travel diary. There is hardly another fifteenth-century author about whom we know so many private details. Through his unique manuscripts and rare incunables, Schedel springs to life for us as a person.

"Among the private collections of books which form part of the holdings of the Bayerische Staatsbibliothek in Munich, the library of the Nuremberg physician and humanist Hartmann Schedel (1440-1514) takes pride of place. It is not only the largest surviving private library from the medieval Germany, but also the oldest book collection of private owner which entered the Court library in Munich in its entirety."

Hardcover. Zustand: Near Fine. Folio (35 cm), 256 pp. Publisher's cloth and dust jacket (minor shelf-wear) "This is the first work in English on the entire production of an early illustrated book. The survival of page by page layouts for a book of the incunabula period, as well as the original contracts for its illustration,for its printing and for the allotment of profits and unsold books is unique to the Nuremberg Chronicle of 1493. Furthermore, the astonishing discovery in 1972 of preliminary woodcut drawings and layouts reveals the first steps in how the book was planned. 'The Making of the Nuremberg Chronicle', which gathers into one volume all these factors, is a landmark in the study of incunabula." (from the blurb).

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.

First edition of the Nuremberg Chronicle, the most extensively illustrated book of the 15th century, from the St. Petersburg library of William Tooke. Imperial folio, bound in three quarter calf over paper-covered boards, morocco spine label lettered in gilt, elaborate gilt tooling to the spine, five gilt-tooled raised bands, rebacked, decorated with 1809 woodcut illustrations by Michael Wolgemut, Wilhelm Pleydenwurff and their workshop, 320 leaves (of 326, without V, IX, CCLXV, CCXCVII, CCXCVIII and final blank), two double-page maps (map of Europe and colophon laid in with chipped fore-edges), illuminated initial on first text leaf, first full-page woodcut in contemporary color, table's initials in red and blue, red and blue paraphs (additions including Maximilian supplement inserted after CCLXVI. The first edition of the Nuremberg Chronicle, printed in both Latin and German, is estimated to have had between 1,400 and 1,500 Latin copies and 700 to 1,000 German copies. Only about 400 Latin and 300 German copies are known to have survived into the 21st century. The publication history of theÂNurembergÂChronicle is perhaps the best documented of any book printed in this period: the contracts between Schedel and his partners Schreyer and Kammermaister, and between Schedel and the artists, all survive in theÂNurembergÂStadtsbibliothek, as do detailed manuscript exemplars of both the Latin and the German editions. TheÂNurembergÂChronicle includes two double-page maps: a world map (Shirley 19) based on Mela's Cosmographia (1482), and a map of northern and central Europe by Hieronymus Munzer (1437--1508) after Nicolas Khyrpffs. The world map is one of only three 15th-century maps showing Portuguese knowledge of the Gulf of Guinea of about 1470. The map of Europe is closely associated with Nicolas of Cusa's Eichstatt map, with which it is thought to share a common manuscript source of c.1439--54. It is therefore claimed to be the first modern map of this region to appear in print. Although published later than the map of Germany in the 1482 Ulm Ptolemy, it was constructed earlier (Campbell, The Earliest Printed Maps, 1472--1500, 1987). Provenance: early Latin inscriptions on title-page -- John (18th-century inscription and pen trials on blank after Maximilian supplement) -- William Tooke (1744--1820; inscription on title-page dated 1772) -- Phyllis Goodhart Gordan (1913--1994; leather label); by descent. William Tooke (1744--1820) was a British historian of Russia, living in St. Petersburg for periods of his life while researching and writing his works. The present copy formed part of his library at St. Petersburg and is dated 1772. With the binding very good condition, text block near fine with the map of Europe and colophon laid in with chipped fore-edges and 320 leaves (of 326, without V, IX, CCLXV, CCXCVII, CCXCVIII and final blank). A very nice example of this landmark work in the history or printing with noted provenance.   Published in 1493, the monumental Nuremberg Chronicle remains the most extensively illustrated book of the 15th century. Albrecht Durer, godson of the printer Anton Koberger, is thought to have contributed to the celebrated series of c.1800 woodcuts while working for the workshop of Michael Wolgemut. The publication history of the Nuremberg Chronicle is perhaps the best documented of any book printed in this period: the contracts between Schedel and his partners Schreyer and Kammermaister, and between Schedel and the artists, all survive in the Nuremberg Stadtsbibliothek, as do detailed manuscript exemplars of both the Latin and the German editions (see A. Wilson, The Making of the Nuremberg Chronicle, Amsterdam: 1976). The Nuremberg Chronicle also includes two double-page maps: a world map (Shirley 19) based on Mela's Cosmographia (1482), and a map of northern and central Europe by Hieronymus Munzer (1437-1508) after Nicolas Khyrpffs. The world map is one of only three 15th-century maps showing Portuguese knowledge of the Gulf of Guinea of about 1470. The map of Europe is closely associated with Nicolas of Cusa's Eichstatt map, with which it is thought to share a common manuscript source of c. 1439-54. It is therefore claimed to be the first modern map of this region to appear in print. Although published later than the map of Germany in the 1482 Ulm Ptolemy, it was constructed earlier (Campbell, The Earliest Printed Maps, 1472-1500, 1987). BMC II, 437; Schreiber 5203; Goff S-307; ISTC is00307000. Hartmann Schedel was a medical doctor, humanist and book collector. He earned a doctorate in medicine in Padua in 1466, then settled in Nuremberg to practice medicine and collect books. According to an inventory done in 1498, Schedel's personal library contained 370 manuscripts and 670 printed books. He compiled this elaborate history of the world from âthe first day of creationâ to his own time in an effort to correct what he felt was a slight to German history by other chroniclers. He divided his work into the usual six ages of the history of mankind, adding a seventh in which he foretold the coming of the Antichrist, the destruction of the world, and judgment day. The invention of printing is mentioned on verso of leaf CCLII: âborn in Germany⦠in the city near the Rhine [i.e. Mainz]⦠in the year 1440â; on verso of leaf CCXC is a brief account (not appearing in the subsequent German edition of the same year) of the âPortuguese voyage of discovery along the coast of Africa in 1483 [1484], under the direction of Diego Cam and Martin Behaim of Nuremberg, which has been used as a basis for the unwarranted theory that the expedition reached Americaâ (Sabin). The legacy of the volume rests on its illustrations. âThere are 1809 woodcuts printed from 645 different blocks. They picture the major events of the Old and New Testaments, episodes in the lives of many saints, portraits of prophets, kings, popes, heroes, and great men of all centuries, freaks of nature,
