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 Achaia, a Roman province in what is now southern Greece
