Beautiful woodcut pages from the 1493 Nuremberg Chronicle, which is an enyclodpedia of world events, mythology and christian history. This extra-ordinary work was one of the earliest books ever printed and the first to successfully integrate text and images. These pages show latin text and an engraving of the town of Sabatz (now) Shabac in Turkey
