  </mods:physicalDescription>
  <mods:abstract>This, the first edition of the Nuremberg Chronicle, details the history of the world through the year of its publication, in 1493, along with a final section describing the anticipated last days. The text was compiled by Hartmann Schedel and was printed at the press of Anton Koberger. The Nuremberg Chronicle contains 1,800 woodcut illustrations by Michael Wolgemut and Wilhelm Pleydenwurff. Along with detailed maps and views of major European cities, the woodcuts depict exotic (and often highly embellished) flora and fauna, monsters, mythical tribes and peoples, biblical scenes, and settings from everyday life around the then-known world.</mods:abstract>
  <mods:note>Imprint based on second colophon (leaf [CCC]r): "... Ad intuitum autem et preces providorum civium Sebaldi Schreyer et Sebastiani Kamermaister hunc librum dominus Anthonius Koberger Nuremberge impressit. Adhibitis tamen viris mathematicis pingendique arte peritissimis Michaele Wolgemut et Wilhelmo Pleydenwurff quarum solerti, accuratissimaque animadversione tum civitatum tum illustrium virorum figure inserte sunt. Consummatum autem duodecima mensis Julij anno salutis no[st]re 1493."</mods:note>
