SCHEDEL, H. - Quinta Etas Mundi. Folium. LXVI. (Visionary Temple of Ezekiel.)

The Latin text page is illustrated with on recto and verso depictions of the visionary Temple of Ezekiel. Kings.
Page from the richest illustrated Incunable, the famous Nuremberg Chronicle, published the year that Columbus returned to Europe after discovering America. In May of 1493 appeared in the Latin language one of the earliest voluminous books, fully illustrated with 1809 woodcuts printed from 645 woodblocks.
The woodblock cutters were Michael Wolgemut, the well-known teacher of Albrecht Dürer, and his stepson Wilhelm Pleydenwurff. Wohlgemut was Albrecht Dürer's tutor between 1486 and 1490, and recent scholarship has shown that Albrecht Dürer may also have collaborated, since some of the cuts bear a remarkably close resemblance to the Apocalypse illustrations.
The printing was carried out under the supervision of the great scholar-printer Anton Koberger, whose printing was famous throughout Europe.
