Quinta Etas Mundi Folium. XCIII
Produced around seventy years after the invention of printing in Europe. Combination of metal typeface and woodcut engravings with later hand colouring. Page from the richest illustrated Incunable, the famous: Liber chronicarum or Nuremberg Chronicle, published the year that Columbus returned to Europe after discovering America.
In May of 1493 appeared in the Latin language as one of the earliest voluminous books, fully illustrated with 1809 woodcuts printed from 645 woodblocks. Depicts a legend of the Tiburtine Sibyl (Sibilla Thiburana) and Caesar Augustus (Octavianus). The prophetess holds the center of the stage, and behind her stands a lady, apparently her attendant or maid. Sibyl has just made the pronouncement and conjured forth for the benefit of the emperor a vision of the Virgin Mary with the Christ-child in her arms, the mother and child being surrounded by a brilliant blaze.
The woodblock cutters were Michael Wolgemut, the well-known teacher of Albrecht Dürer, and his stepson Wilhelm Pleydenwurff. Wohlgemut was Albrecht Dürer's tutor between 1486-90, and recent scholarship has shown that Albrecht Dürer may also have collaborated since some of the cuts bear a remarkably close resemblance to the Apocalypse illustrations. The printing was carried out under the supervision of the great scholar-printer Anton Koberger, whose printing was famous throughout Europe.
GUARANTEED TO BE OVER 520 YEARS OLD.
