The "Nuremberg Chronicle," also known as "Liber Chronicarum" in Latin, is an illustrated world history that was published in 1493. Authored by Hartmann Schedel, a German physician, humanist, and historian, the chronicle is one of the most significant incunabula, or books printed before 1501. The work is renowned for its extensive and detailed woodcut illustrations, which were created by Michael Wolgemut, Wilhelm Pleydenwurff, and possibly a young Albrecht Dürer, who was an apprentice in Wolgemut's workshop at the time.

The "Nuremberg Chronicle" is structured as a universal history, beginning with the creation of the world and extending to the contemporary period of the late 15th century. It is divided into seven ages, from the biblical creation narrative to the anticipated Last Judgment. The chronicle is notable for its comprehensive coverage of historical events, geographical descriptions, and biographies of notable figures, blending both sacred and secular history.

One of the most striking features of the "Nuremberg Chronicle" is its panoramic city views, which include depictions of major European cities such as Rome, Venice, Paris, and Florence. The "View of Florence" is particularly remarkable for its detailed representation of the city during the Renaissance. This woodcut provides a visual record of Florence's architectural and urban landscape, capturing landmarks such as the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore with its iconic dome designed by Filippo Brunelleschi, the Palazzo Vecchio, and the Ponte Vecchio.

The "Nuremberg Chronicle" was published in both Latin and German editions, making it accessible to a broad audience. Its blend of text and illustration set a new standard for printed books and contributed to the dissemination of knowledge during the early years of the printing revolution. Today, the "Nuremberg Chronicle" is highly valued not only for its historical content but also for its artistic and cultural significance, offering a window into the medieval and early Renaissance worldview.
