Two pages from the Liber chronicarum, 1493. The Liber chronicarum or Nuremberg Chronicle is a history of the world divided into seven ages within the framework of the biblical narrative beginning with the Creation and ending with the Last Judgment. The book project was commissioned by two Nuremberg merchants: Sebald Schreyer (1446-1503) and his son-in-law, Sebastian Kammermeister (1446-1520). The Latin text was composed by Hartmann Schedel (1440-1514), a medical doctor and humanist, and translated into German by George Alt (1450-1510), a scribe at the Nuremberg treasury.
