EDITORS COMMENTS
This image is taken from Page 170 of Meisterlin's Nuremberg Chronicle, printed in German in 1488. Sigismund Meisterlin, a Benedictine monk from Augsburg, authored this comprehensive historical text in Latin in 1485. Meisterlin's Nuremberg Chronicle is a significant contribution to the historical record, as it was one of the earliest illustrated chronicles, featuring over 1,800 woodcut illustrations. Meisterlin's chronicle covers world history from the creation of the world to the year 1493. This particular page, number 170, illustrates a communication between two figures, likely representing political or religious leaders. The intricate details of their clothing and the ornate background suggest the importance of the event being depicted. The communication between these figures is a testament to the rich history of written and printed texts in Europe during the late 15th century. Meisterlin's Nuremberg Chronicle was an influential work, as it combined text and illustrations in a way that made history accessible to a broader audience. The chronicle was also one of the first works to be printed using the new technology of movable type, making it more widely available and affordable. Meisterlin's Nuremberg Chronicle is a remarkable example of the interplay between communication, art, and history during the late medieval period. This image, with its intricate details and historical significance, offers a glimpse into the world of the past and the ways in which knowledge was transmitted and preserved.
