Printed in Nuremberg in 1493, the Nuremberg Chronicle is a history of the world extending from Creation to the year of its publication by the humanist and physician Hartmann Schedel. The large volume, printed by Anton Koberger, comprises more than 1800 illustrations made from 645 woodcut panels, making it the most extensively illustrated incunable (i.e., a European book printed before 1501). The images—biblical scenes, portraits, genealogies, and contemporary cityscapes—were made from woodcuts by the prolific Nuremberg artists Michael Wolgemut and Wilhelm Pleydenwurff.

International social justice movements and the debates that ensued prompted us to start considering the contents of our website from a critical point of view. This has led us to acknowledge that most of the texts in our database are Western-centered. We have asked the authors of our content to be aware of the underlying racial and cultural bias in many scholarly sources, and to try to keep in mind multiple points of view while describing the manuscripts. We also recognize that this is yet a small, first step towards fighting inequality.

If you notice any trace of racist or unjust narratives in our communications, please help us be part of the change by letting us know.
