Est: $250,000 - $300,000
SCHEDEL, Hartmann (1440-1514). Liber Chronicarum. Nuremberg: Anton Koberger for Sebald Schreyer and Sebastian Kammermeister, 12 July 1493. The first edition of the most extensively illustrated book of the 15th century; this copy finely colored and illuminated by an early hand. The artist responsible for its superb coloring worked with a rich and vibrant palette to produce a copy of exceptional beauty, surpassing many others colored by Nuremberg shops. Especially arresting are the deep black grounds setting o gold and colors to striking e ect. The Nuremberg Chronicle is celebrated for its fne and numerous woodcut illustrations, to which Albrecht Dürer is believed to have contributed (see Wilson, The Making of the Nuremberg Chronicle, Amsterdam: 1976). It also includes two important double-page maps: a fne world map based on Mela’s Cosmographia of 1482 (see Shirley 19), and a map of northern and central Europe by Hieronymus Münzer (1437-1508) after Nicolas Khyrpfs. The world map is one of only three 15th-century maps showing Portuguese knowledge of the Gulf of Guinea of about 1470. The map of Europe is closely associated with Nicolas of Cusa’s Eichstätt map, with which it is thought to share a common manuscript source of c.1439-54. It is therefore claimed to be the frst modern map of this region to appear in print. Although published later than the map of Germany in the 1482 Ulm Ptolemy, it was constructed earlier (Campbell, The Earliest Printed Maps, 1472-1500, 1987). The publication history of the Nuremberg Chronicle is perhaps the best documented of any book printed of that period: the contracts between Schedel and his partners Schreyer and Kammermaister, and between Schedel and the artists, all survive in the Nuremberg Stadtsbibliothek, as do detailed manuscript exemplars of both the Latin and the German editions. The two editions were planned simultaneously, but the German was published fve months after this Latin edition. HC *14508; BMC II, 437 (IC. 7451-3); Polain(B) 3469; CIBN S-161; BSB-Ink.

Text opens with a large puzzle initial with staves of red and blue and part-flled with gold, with red pen work fourishing; manuscript initial opening the table in red, blue and gold; the other initials in the table in red; title with touches of red; red paragraph marks and capital strokes (title neatly strengthened in the inside margin; an early repair in f.
