How often do you hear this phrase? Were the witnesses of Jehovah constantly knocking at you? Or do you go to church? This is completely unimportant, because now we are talking about a thing directly related to religion and located as far away from it.

Nuremberg Chronicle

Nuremberg chronicle. We will talk about this work. What it is? This is an incunabula, which illustrates the chronicle of biblical history from the creation of the world. It was written in 1943 in Latin by Schödel and translated into German by Georg Alt. However, the translation differs from the original. A book was published in Nuremberg (duh) in Latin (duh # 2) language. Buy it could wealthy people. The book was printed by Anton Koberger.

3. From Abraham to David;
4. Before the Babylonian captivity;
5. Before the Nativity of Christ;
6. After the Nativity of Christ until the end of the XV century (occupies most of the volume of the book);

And what?

You probably read this and think: "And why should I know this?". The fact is that this book is one of the greatest books in the history of mankind. Why? In this book there are 1809 illustrations. So you understand, this is a lot. It is thanks to this that the book became known and it is inadmissible to not know about it to an intelligent person. However, in the investigation it turned out that the printers had cheated and out of 1,809 illustrations, only 642 are original.
