Hand-Bound | Museum-Quality | A Masterpiece of Printing History

The most illustrated incunabula in the world, with 1.821 engravings. With its 645 wooden carvings (xylographs) which represent 596 portraits of Popes, Emperors, Kings and famous men. With a total of 1.821 engravings, the majority of them cover the 620 pages in folio size, which represent the "chronicle of the world" from creation to the end of the XV century.

Step into the grandeur of the 15th century with this meticulously handcrafted facsimile of The Nuremberg Chronicle ( Liber Chronicarum ), one of the most celebrated and visually spectacular books of the early printing press era. Originally printed in 1493 by Anton Koberger, this historic volume bursts with detailed woodcut illustrations, cityscapes, biblical scenes, and portraits of ancient kings and scholars.

This superb facsimile is illustrated with numerous panoramic views of cities and biblical scenes. Perhaps drawn by Durero, related to Koberger.
