AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Folio 236 from the Latin edition of The Nuremberg Chronicle (Liber Chronicarum) by Hartman Schedel from 1493 - 42 x 28 cm - with 6 wood engravings.
Folio CCXXXVI - Recto - contains text and images about:
The Council of Pisa (1409). It was one of the councils that tried to end the Western Schism, a period during which there were multiple popes who fought each other. The council deposed both the pope in Rome and the one in Avignon and elected a new pope, Alexander V, but this did not resolve the schism.
- 'Ruprecht of the Palatinate' (1352–1410) was king of the Romans (King of Germany) from 1400 to 1410. Ruprecht was an important figure in the late Middle Ages and sought to unify and reform the Holy Roman Empire. His reign coincided with a period of political unrest and the Western Schism in the church.
Folio CCXXXVI - Verso - contains text and images about:
Baldus de Ubaldis (1327–1400), one of the most influential jurists and legal scholars of the late Middle Ages.
Theophylactos of Ohrid (ca. 1050–1126), a Byzantine scholar, Archbishop of Ohrid, and writer.
The Chronicle was written by Hartmann Schedel, a doctor, humanist, and book collector from Nuremberg. The work was completed in 1493 and is one of the most extensive illustrated books of the 15th century. It is a universal history from the creation of the world to the end of the 15th century, combining biblical, mythological, and historical stories with images of cities, people, and events.
The book contains 1,809 woodcuts, created by Michael Wolgemut and Wilhelm Pleydenwurff, and possibly also by the young Albrecht Dürer, who was working in their studio at the time.
Condition: the page shows some small spots and holes. See photos.
