Timetunnel to the 15th century. This is 1493's must-have history book and city guide by Hartmann Schedel. Hartmann Schedel's "Weltchronik", or "Chronicle of the World" (better known today as the "Nuremberg Chronicle", after the German city in which it was created), was a groundbreaking encyclopedic work and at the time the most lavishly illustrated book ever printed in Europe.
Both a historical reference work and a contemporary inventory of urban culture at the end of the 15th century, the "Chronicle" was to have a remarkable influence on the cultural, ecclesiastical and intellectual history of the Middle Ages.
