EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a page from Meisterlins Nurnberger Chronik, a significant historical document that offers us a glimpse into the past. The page in question is number 170 and was written by Sigmund or Sigismund Meisterlin, an esteemed Benedictine monk hailing from Augsburg. Meisterlin's chronicle of Augsburg, penned in 1457, holds immense value as it sheds light on the city's rich history. However, it is his chronicle of Nuremberg that truly stands out. Originally written in Latin in 1485, this remarkable piece was later printed in German as the Nrnberger Chronik in 1488. The image before us captures not only the communication aspect but also highlights the artistry involved with printing during this era. The intricate illustrations accompanying Meisterlin's text add depth and visual appeal to his work. As we delve deeper into this photograph, we are transported back to the late 15th century when monks like Sigismund dedicated their lives to preserving knowledge through writing and illustration. This particular page serves as a testament to their meticulous craftsmanship and dedication to recording history for future generations. With its historical significance and artistic beauty combined, this print allows us to appreciate both the intellectual pursuits of scholars like Sigismund Meisterlin and the technical advancements made within printing during the early 16th century.
