Hartmann Schedel/ Wohlgemut/ Pleydenwurff/Dürer - The Nuremberg Chronicle (Liber Chronicarum) - 1493
Original incunabulum woodcut leaf XXXII (32) from the Nuremberg Chronicle of Hartmann Schedel, the first German edition from 1493.
An incunabulum (cradle print) is a book printed in Europe before 1 January 1501, when the printing press was still in its infancy, and of which the text is set in movable type. They are now rarely seen on the market.
The Nuremberg Chronicle (Liber Chronicarum) by Hartmann Schedel is one of the most famous and best illustrated incunabula. The beautiful woodcuts were made by Michael Wohlgemut (1434/37-1519) and his stepson Wilhelm Pleydenwurff (1450-1494), a teacher of Albrecht Dürer. Dürer probably also contributed to the execution of many of the woodcuts for this incunabulum.
The beautifully colored woodcuts of folio XXXII illustrate on both sides of the leaf, the gorgeous Menorah candlestick with 7 branches which is one of the most important symbols found in Hebrew culture.
This is not a facsimile edition, but an original leaf printed in the 15th century - so 532 years old!
Rare in colored version.
Dimensions: 43 x 28,5 cm
Good condition, tear in lower part and a few wormholes restored.
