Nuremberg Chronicle Leaf, 11-1/2" x 17,", VG. One side has two illustrations of religious leaders; Papa Martinus Quintus (Pope Martin V and ) and Jobaines. Each has lengthy descriptions. On the other side is Johannes Wycliffe who was English scholastic philosopher, theologian, biblical translator, reformer, priest, and a seminary professor at the University of Oxford. The whole page is taken with his biography. The Nuremberg Chronicle is an illustrated biblical paraphrase and world history that follows the story of human history related in the Bible; it includes the histories of a number of important Western cities. Written in Latin by Hartmann Schedel, with a version in German, translation by Georg Alt, it appeared in 1493. It is one of the best-documented early printed books-an incunabulum-and one of the first to successfully integrate illustrations and text.
