The Nuremberg Chronicle means many things to many people. For me, it will always conjure up memories of my PhD exams, when I had 3 profs grill me about it.
A page from the Nuremberg Chronicle depicting Constantinople in 1493.
The Nuremberg Chronicle:
…is an illustrated world history. Its structure follows the story of human history as related in the Bible; it includes the histories of a number of important Western cities. Written in Latin by Hartmann Schedel, with a version in German translation by Georg Alt, it appeared in 1493. It is one of the best-documented early printed books – an incunabulum (printed, not hand-written) – and one of the first to successfully integrate illustrations and text. – enWikipedia
