AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Original incunabulum leaf XXXIII (33) from the Nuremberg Chronicle of Hartmann Schedel, from the first German edition from 1493.
An incunabulum is a book that was printed in Europe before 1 January 1501, when printing was still in its infancy and the text was set in loose type. Incunabula are nowadays 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), who was a teacher of Albrecht Dürer. Dürer probably also contributed to many of the woodcuts in this incunabulum.
The beautifully coloured woodcuts of Folio XXXIII show images related to the Jewish Tabernacle. On recto the Altar of Incense, the Altar of Burnt Offering, the Laver, and the High Priest in his priestly garment.
On verso the boards of acacia wood and other parts of the Tabernacle, and the stone tables with the 10 commandments.
This is not a facsimile edition, but an original leaf that was printed in the 15th century - 532 years old!
Rare in coloured version,
Dimensions: 43 x 28,5 cm
Good condition, wormhole restored, a few small spots.
